Game 43 - Nets @ Jazz - Saturday, January 23, 9:00

The Jazz have won five of their last six including one Wednesday where they withstood a 25-0 run by the Spurs. Still, the Jazz are barely keeping pace out west, tied for eighth with the upstart Thunder. Andrei Kirilenko had his best game of the season Wednesday with 26 and 8, and of course, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer are near-certain double-double performers nightly. Devin Harris (wrist) will not play.

What can you say about get slaughtered by D league guys? Another total embarrassment. Rod Thorn has put Kiki in a position to be the whipping boy for this mess, but you can’t delegate responsibility, and Thorn needs to go. Thanks for the memories, Rod, but it’s over. Clean house, Proky.

Makes netincome’s life easier, if he wanted he could just write one writeup, then just copy paste it for the rest of the season since this is gonna go on for quite a while

And wait a second, what’s the record for most winless months in a season? Another record for us to break!

I will go out on a limb here and say the NETS will pull out a win over Utah….the loss to GSW was quite humbling and the players will respond with a better effort.

Adam they will lose by 20 plus points. Harris is hurt and out until his feelings get better. Lee never showed up and our dearth at SF are feeling themselves hard.
Oh and do you think Yi will be able to keep up with the 2 great pf’s they have? NOPE
110-84. Bank on it!!!

Simple, The Nets put themselves in a situation where NOBODY cares about them! Not the players, coaches, fans….nobody! You could take them out of the NBA and nobody would care anymore. I wish to God I could start liking another team, but I can’t! How about this for a stat, I am a season ticket holder and have not gone to a game yet, and people laugh when I offer my tickets. They only go to see the OTHER team play. June @ July can’t come fast enuff!

Lopez will have 28/12/3 tonight. . CDR, Yi, and Humphries will all have huge games as well. The first time we have really gelled as a team in a while. It’ll be close, but i’m gonna say its a W. . .may just be delerious from actually watching every game so far this year, but we’ll see.

I watched last night and got excited that they were only down by 6 at the half and then they lose by 31 or something like that! When and where will our next win be? How could our team come to this disgrace? UGHHH!

Now i think everyone can appreciate the hard work and dedication l frank put into this team. he got this team to play hard on both ends day in and day out, and if kiki could doeven half of that we would have more wins right now, thats for sure

Start T-Will at pg, he played well last night and he might as well get more time to get better at that position. This kid is really talented and athletic. Get Quinn in there and see what he can do, supposedly he can shoot lights out.
My starting lineup would be:
Lopez
Humphries
Lee
CDR
T Will
Yi needs a fire under his butt.
Might as well mix it up a little more, can’t hurt- and T Will could use the practice

It’s really a shame that we’re going to finish this season more than 70 games under .500 ….

@13yrolddiehardnetsfan: L Frank was a tireless worker, and a seemingly caring guy- fact remains, he had 0 wins and coached very inconsistent teams for 3 years. Kiki has 3 wins, so technically speaking- Kiki is outcoaching Frank. Me personally, I don’t think any coach could fix this mess this season- it’s too far gone.
No point in blaming Kiki, and he is in place for a reason- ever notice that he has Del Harris as a sidekick? Kiki is going to try and give the right answers, smile as much as he can, clap as much as he can, and take direct orders from Thorn about what’s going on. Kiki is the GM being interim coach until the end of the season, I bet he can’t wait for the end of the season too.
by NiceBull on Jan 23, 2010 3:52 PM EST reply actions
NiceBull, you expected Frank to win with as little as 8 players, with at times having only 2/5 of the starting lineup? That’s hard for even a top team to accomplish, unless of course you are playing Kiki’s Nets. Kiki’s Nets are almost 100% healthy, yet their point differential in games must be -10 worse than Frank’s.
by Antoine on Jan 23, 2010 4:35 PM EST reply actions
28 point loss.
Kiki needs to be left in Utah
by Mr. Dollar Bills on Jan 23, 2010 6:09 PM EST reply actions
@ NiceBull
By using your system, there is no need to ever vote for coach of the year because whatever teams wins the most games has the best coach.
And Kiyi has been SO awful, there can be no excuse. If the plan was to put him in, then he never should have supported getting rid of Frank. Since he was the guy probably most responsible, he gets no mercy.
Can we trade Kiyi for a 2nd rd pick?
by Paul B on Jan 23, 2010 7:33 PM EST reply actions
What I’m trying to say is, this isn’t something to blame on either coach. Saying that Frank would have it way better than Kiki is crazy, this is way beyond coaching. Kiki or Frank, neither of them will fix the teams problems this season.
This team is stuck where they are until next season, and that’s that. There will be no big moves, or changes that make a huge difference. Pretty much just hoping that some of these younger guys actually develop a bit more- like TWill. Then next season there will be many more options, and changes for the better because it can’t get any worse.

the guards just playing terribly, cdr…get this guy off on the bench!!
by Robert on Jan 23, 2010 9:39 PM EST reply actions
We cannot go another 40 games like this…. If this season was a living being, it would have been mercy killed if it hadn’t somehow offed itself already.
We need to bring in a coach NOW. This has already gotten SOOOO out of hand. Something must be done ASAP. At some point the harm reaches an irreparable level.

Nets management better find a way to sign 2 type A free agents in the summer and some cheap quality players.
