WOO HOO ANOTHER LOSS! HEY KIKI U SUCK COACH FRANK ALWAYS HAD THIS TEAM COMPETING! i don’t see us winning any more games this year. we deserve to lose every game!

Let me make a prediction – someone will blame this embarrassing loss on Yi.

Let me make another prediction – someone else will criticize Yi for scoring 16 “meaningless points”.

NETS should play as team, not as individual flyer.
NETS players, please keep moving, not static stand.
NETS inside is always blank. Do not Stand inside, please Move into the inside.
NETS play too simple, without any methods.
Please play the game with your brains!
Too poor performance! Ugly game!

Treasure these moments: there will never be as bad a team again in our lifetimes.

Hollah!

patheticly said, the game was defined in the 1st quater, only Yi and Lopez were playing in the game, the guards were just terrible, the 1st-layer defence was just nonexistent.

At this point it can’t get any worse. We have to get back to competitive before we can start thinking playoffs. Looks like we should target David Lee and Joe Johnson and hope we get Wall. Who would want to come to this team the way they are now? Just terrible..

I’m not suprised.
This is beyond embarassing.

Good Job CDR………a whole 2 pts for the whole game (1-1 FG)….seriously this CDR aka girl needs to stop tweeting and start playing. Another 30+ blowout, like it was a surprise!

The Nets shouldn’t even take the floor. This is beyond a disgrace.

Whoever’s going to the next home game (I’m not), please bring a “Fire Kiki” sign…

I didn’t get to watch the game tonight. Did Yi play his normal bad defense? I, of course, would never blame a loss on one player… CDR only took one shot in 22 min? Gimme the scoop.

Kiki obviously knows nothing about defense. Firing Frank and replacing him with Kiki was a horrible mistake. Should have just stuck with Frank until the end of the season no matter how many fans wanted Frank fired.

I thought it was funny when the Czar tried to explain the T-Will situation by prefacing it with “If you weren’t joining us early in the season…”

-Mr Fratello, I don’t exactly think ratings are going up.

Well well well!!
I don’t blame anyone!! It’s nonsense.

Jazz played good defense on lpz, that’s why the result looks so miserable.

@molskin well if watched the game, u would find the rest of the Nets played no-better defence than Yi, so there was no point to emphasize it, i think the whole defensive system is just not working for the Nets

Frank is a nice guy. I think everyone would agree. But I dount he’s so nice as to not take some small pleasure in this.

It is really really nonsense of blaming one or two players.
The Nets now is not a NBA level’s team. sigh

Brook was a monster on the boards!

@ Robert

There is no defensive system.

Let’s just go player coach like the current worst team in NBA history.

I nominate CDR, Dooling, Harris, or Boone, in that order.

@Paul B this makes me really sad…. whats wrong with our guards, i understand if they cant make shots, but now they cant even dribble and pass……….

i dont think we shouldve fired frank. we would be better if we had frank at this time with most of the starters back

Predictions for the next 5 games:

vs. Washington L 94-108
vs. Phila. L 85-103
vs. Detroit L 85-95
@ Toronto L 66-99
@ Boston L 75-395

Stats For the Next 5 Games:

Lopez: 127 pts, 50%FG
Yi: 63 pts, 41% FG
Harris: 48 pts, 33% FG
Lee: 48 pts, 35% FG
CDR: 15 pts, 60% FG

Frank did a good job last year. Sure VC was here but VC isn’t the difference between a 3 and a 30 win team. Kiki is horrible.. No emotion at all and has no defensive philosophy.

CDR just one shot. So much for all this big talk, he doesn’t produce. They ask him to pass more and he totally stops being aggressive.

Oh and I must be a hater now since to him, every who says something not positive about him is a hater. Pft, worry about your game on the court rather than all your “haters”

Sooo anyone else with more win predictions for the next games? Wanna put some money on it this time? I’ll take you on

Dear Announcers: You must quit. You are worse than KiKi.

Our announcers do not watch the game. All they do is chatter about meaningless junk. Who really cares about opinion possessed by “The Czar” about the Jets? Call the game! Analyze why plays worked or didn’t work. Educate us. If a Net gets beat on D because he is out of position, explain where he should have been. Tell us what you think the coach is doing. Tell us your opinion about the defensive matchups and how that can (or cannot) be strengthened.

Marv is the worst of the bunch. Spanarkle the best.

Robby,

What is there to watch?

Are you kidding me?

@Robby

You should feel some compassion for the announcers, they have the excruciating task of having to watch the nets again and again and again. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d rather chat about other meaningless junk rather than the meaningless junk going on in front of them.

BRING BACK LAWRENCE FRANK!

HOLLAH!

@Robert

I don’t feel ashamed about inferring that Yi is horrible. Again there is no ONE reason this team sucks- to imply that would be just stupid on my part.
That being said, though, if you can’t see Yi being terribly slow to rotate on D then you aren’t paying attention.

Observation from netsarescorching earlier:

“while the nets are on offense, CDR is literally walking around the court as if he has nothing better to do”

Freezed out? I think not

After 40 losses you can only talk about defense positioning so much before I am sure even the announcers get sick of it.

Oh for the days of Sean Williams and Brook Lopez stopping teams from waltzing to rim all game long and shooting 110% from the field. You guys can say whatever you want about him but the 82games.com stats don’t lie. He never saw enough action with Lopez and in spite of his lack of offense, Brook was averaging the same amount points then as now.

At least though we have a player now getting those minutes where we don’t have to question his effort like Boone.

How many times now can this team allow that kind of an outburst? 17-19 to open the game every other game? And 50% in the others.

O yea, Humphries paly good defense, Humphries is a hustle player and bring energy to the team. And that is exactly what Nets need. & Humphries can score too!!!

LMAO.

By the way, CDR is so immature. The “System” wants him to pass the ball a little more and he is now not playing offense at all.

I’ve said about 2 weeks ago that CDR has mailed it in, and this is partially due to the shenanigans of Kiki. I still contend that he has been frozen out of the offense, but he needs to be professional and keep his head in the game.

Basically…grow up, swallow the bitter pill, and fight your way through it.

@molskin
sorry mate, i am not making arguments here, but tell me one Nets that played good defence today? anyone? at least Yi was productive at the offensive part today, but look at our guards! what did they do?

@ Robert,

Are you kidding me? Why are you wasting your time discussing the game with someone who didn’t even watch the game?

@Jet
yeah ur right, i just felt so empty after watching the game, the future of Nets has fallen in bottomless abyss in my heart

good night guys

Isn’t there any trade we can make b4 the deadline that will at least make us competative?

Haha u guyz still watch this team, I just check this site praying to see that the nets one I don’t even bother watching these games

Our guards did a great job today. They constantly lost their guy so that our bigs; especially Yi needs to rotate then end up fouling or losing his own man for wide open shot underneath the basket. So the ppl can criticize Yi’s defense.

And of cause, all the points that Yi had scored in the first half were meaning less……

Bottom line is, ship Yi and Nets will become an all star level defensive team….

@Robert
Like I said I won’t make excuses for anybody on the team. A player needs to be burned or picked off before for a rotation to happen and that part of the bad defense is not Yi’s fault of course.

@ Jet
I openly stated I missed the game- can’t watch them all. People have to work sometime. Is my overall opinion of Yi invalid because I missed THIS game?

Interesting point by Boozer, about the bickering on the floor with the Nets players. A leader has to step up and reunify the team, whether it is Harris, Hayes, or even Kiki. No trade is going to fix this because defense is first and foremost a team concept. A little in-fighting is normal but a leader will stop it before it becomes detrimental. Kiki is WAY over his head.

Well, even though Kookie threw Frank under the bus, at least his performance with the full roster of Net talent (a term I use lightly mind you) has boosted Frank’s rep, and his chances of being back in the league as a HC next season. As for Kookie, if he has any self-respect, he should just resign, or at least run back to the front office and let Del Harris enjoy (probably wrong choice of words) the reigns for a bit, before returning to his retirement.

@kg : I agree 100%. I think that this team is full of role players, with nobody to play a role with. Role players need leaders to really get things done, keep up their confidence, get them easy looks… all that a role player does. VC really helped the Nets with that last season, and as is evident this year- is very necessary.

But, really the Nets have been bad for a few years- and all the mistakes have caught up to them now. No coach is going to fix this disease they have this season. Runs too deep.

After this season, nobody’s job is safe- which is probably a good thing. Thorn and Kiki may be sent packing too, who knows?

1. Put Devin Harris on IR. No need to play when hurt.
2. Trade Josh Boone already. For anything.
3. Trade Jarvis Hayes for anything. He’s an expiring contract and he’s not coming back.
4. Trade Tony Battie to Portland for a cup of coffee. Like he’s doing anything here on an expiring contract?
5. D-League call-ups:
C Dwayne Jones—can rebound the ball and is more mobile than Jamie Feick (a successful call-up of ancient Nets days). Had many 20-20 games and has NBA experience.
SF Mike Harris—was player of the week last week after a 48-point game. Has no business not being on an NBA (Nets) roster. Can also rebound for a small forward, averaging over 9 a game. Has had NBA experience with a winning Houston Rockets team. Great team player and a winning guy.
PG Mustafa Shakur—has played well of late. See if he can be a backup.
  
Jones, Harris and Shakur can probably start and destroy the Nets right now.

Anthony Tolliver (Golden State’s D-League pickup) just dropped 19 points and 11 rebounds on the Phoenix Suns. Megastar Amare Stoudemire had 15 points and 5 rebounds.
  
Yi had all of two points against this guy.
  
Rod Thorn could have picked up Anthony Tolliver for nothing!

I’m just not watching the games any more. I feel like I can think more coherently about the future of the team when I don’t see the present mess.

Bring Frank back!! With him coaching the team, this team would have easily have 5 wins instead of 3!

Its all about the defense, they play 0 defense. 70 points in the paint!! Unbelievable! I agree with other posters L.Frank would have had better games from these guys. Kiki is clueless.

Great idea for all of us! I now am a fan of the Nets losing. It is so easy and fun to watch the games! I have had 11 games in a row where I have “won!” by losing. I root for Kiki to make dumb decisions and I am rarely dissapointed. I root for the Nets to be outplayed, outhustled, outeverything! I root that Yi will guard my PF and CDR will guard my SF and it works! But mostly I root for my bench players to get big minutes. Wow. It has been a great January. I can’t wait to root for the Clippers in a few days. It makes the games fun rooting for a winner!

I’d like to know what Del Harris is supposed to be doing. I thought he might be the “in game” guy but it does not look that way.

This team has no leadership, awful coaching, no offense or defensive systems and a bunch of guys who are on expiring contracts and know they won’t be here after this season so they have no investment here. It is a complete train wreck. I don’t know where the next win comes from.

It’s Yi’s fault! He’s secretly in charge of the Nets, kiki and rod gets are his puppets.

We know the truf!

I got the Utah announcers feed on Comcast. Probably even worse than Marv Albert.

The Utah announcers said that Nets were so bad that they well selling their seats for 99 cents when Utah play in New Jersey early in the year. They said Yep that was true. “Hard to pay even the 25th highest payroll at 99 cents a ticket”.

BTW Ian Eagle was busy announcing the Stanford College game the night after doing the Golden State game for Nets.
I was looking through my Nets pages and heard Ian’s familiar voice in background. Ian is the best. He seems to have time to know what is going on everywhere – not Marv who just relies on his Voice.

Nets have to make some move before trade deadline. Add Yi to the list of players available to move. Hope Yi’s value increases a little to help promote a trade.

Yi+Boone+Hayes with Battie and Simmons for cap space.
Get back a big man. Maybe even tempt Knicks for DLee since they will get nothing for him in July. Knicks could be interested in Marketing Yi – Let them.
My only concern is if DLee wouldn’t re-sign with Nets. Proky would have to give DLee a Pep Talk over a $50,000 dinner (LOL)

@Robby

Our announcers are actually pretty good, but even they get tired of the losing. Fratello used to provide alot of wise analysis earlier in the season, but unfortunately the Nets keep making the same mistakes over and over under KiKi, that he’d be repeating himself if he were to continue talking about the game.

From netsarescorching

“Early in third quarter, there was one play where Chris Douglas-Roberts was away from the ball and he literally just walked from the right corner out to the top of the key until the play ended. He made no attempt to come to the ball. He made no attempt to box out his guy. He walked. I’m not going to pretend I know what’s going on in his head and speculate that he was so disgusted by not having his number called for the play that he decided to take a set off. However, I will just repeat what I saw, because I very rarely see NBA players who constantly tweet and talk about how hard they work, and how all of their critics are haters, just walk around during a play. And that my friends, is what I mean when I talk about the "culture" of this organization right now.”

Fratello is fine when he works with Ian Eagle.
Marv is just all about himself and need to feel superior.
Maybe Marv thinks we forgot about his sexcapades.

so when exactly does playing for pride actually come into play? like these are grown men and they’re getting nationally embarassed…..does that mean nothing to them.so much for any team can beat any other team any given night, guess it doesnt apply to the nets….

So, Yi trade value = David Lee. wtf?

If Yi bring economical advantage to a team, wouldn’t the Nets be a team that benefit it the most? Knicks get way more advertising money than majority of NBA teams. Especially the Nets are trying to tank this season. Nets don’t even have or want a coach or veteran/stars.

As a net fan I would like to see the madness stop.Yi is a sub, CDR is a cancer,Lee is no good,Twill never will be.Lose with the older veterans who will at least give an effort. A line up of Harris,Hayes,Hassel,Boone and Lopez, with Dooling,Yi,Humphries,Battie and Simmons will at least give an honest effort as well as developing Lopez,Yi and Hump.Get rid of those young, selfish,twittering,tatooed fools,they don,t get it and never will.

This team is the most poorly conditioned group of players I have ever seen and couple that with the feeling of hopelessness and high possibility of team dissension a perfect storm has hit them. I think they are stuck with 3 wins all season unless in later part of the year when other opposing team have given on the season and they are going to play scrub players to spare their stars from injury

I cut back from season tickets to shorter plan at the start of the 08 season. From shorter plan to individual games at the start of this season. Now I don’t even watch on TV anymore. It seems to be a team where 75% of the players have given up trying to play at a professional level, although since I don’t watch anymore I can’t be sure the 75% is correct.

The VC trade was insane. Courtney Lee is not a starter in this league.

Their current coach has to be one of the worst in NBA history. Sad to see how he has ruined CDR, who once had the most passion of any of them and was scoring 15-20 a game, in favor of Yi. I assume all will be gone next year save Brook, Humphries, Harris unless they get Wall, and maybe TWill if he keeps it up and develops a outside shot.

Yi should leave NETS as soon as possible. NETS is too poor!

@jerry25

Actually, as long as the announcers are going to talk about irrelevancies while the action is going on, I’d like to hear more about Marv’s private life. hahahahaha

My problem is that I would never turn the game on to listen to these announcers run a sports talk show. Somebody should tell them to call the game, and relegate the small talk to time outs and half time.
