Harris Out Again, T-Will to Start?
Devin Harris did not travel with the Nets to Philadelphia and will miss Wednesday's game against the Sixers. Harris missed practice on Monday and Tuesday's loss to the Hawks with an upper respiratory infection. Keyon Dooling got the start Tuesday and Chris Quinn saw his first playing time in more than a month. On twitter, Chris Douglas-Roberts hints that Terrence Williams will start Wednesday, perhaps for Trenton Hassell.

Need this
We need to take this one. Pleeeeeease……..
Jordan
I don’t recall Jordan having an “upper respiratory infection,” i recall him having a bad cold. What Devin has blows, totally crippling.
"Crippling" and "Devin" and "blows", in the same sentence...
Who would ever of thought they would see those three words in the same sentence when discussing Harris. LMAO
Casual fans have no idea
How hard it is and how painful it is to play through certain injuries and afflictions. We like to think that NBA players are some sort of superhuman people immune to pain and disability because of the feats they can achieve on the court. Why don’t people try shooting with a sprained wrist or running with a sprained ankle some time. Or try moving around when you can barely breathe.
NBA players are human too, we need to stop this expectation that they can play through anything. Devin HAS played hurt
Oh please...
Everybody knows Devin Harris is soft. A player that misses so many games without an apparent major injury is soft.
And I suppose injuries that aren't major
are supposed to hurt less or hamper your abilities less?
Like I said, normal people have no idea whatsoever the level of difficulty and pain playing through certain things.
I feel your pain...
I guess all players should be worshiped and honored and put on a pedestal for giving us hours upon hours of their time and talent. In fact no player should ever be disrespected by us mere mortals. They are gods and we should kiss their fat egos.
I know plenty of mere mortals who go to work with cancer and take painful chemo, but still work hard come home and do it again next day.
Those are my heros…
What's all this anti/hate Cousins stuff going on.
You would think that a player like Harris would want to help his team avoid having the worst record in the history of sports. He is supposed to be the leader of this team.
He reminds me of a high maintenance woman, who can’t leave the house unless every hair is in place and make up is perfect.
Nothing wrong with being soft. Just don’t make it sound like Harris is some kind of warrior who hustles and plays hard all the time.
I never bash a player unless he deserves it.
I don’t believe in booing players or calling them hateful names. Harris is probably a wonderful guy but when you get into the public arena, you are fair game for criticism. It’s nothing personal but is a big part of being a fan.
If you tell me Yi sucks I can tell you Harris is soft. I think I’m being kinder.
Final toughts on Harris, for now...
I don’t know how many games Harris missed when playing for Dallas, but that might be one of the reasons this young great PG was traded for Kidd and a 1st round pick.
Easy enough to look up
2004-05: Played 76 games
2005-06: Played 56 games
2006-07: Played 80 games
2007-08: Played 39 of their 53 games before the trade.

Thanks for the info ND...
Enough of Harris. We have more important fish to fry tonight.
I consider tonight a must win.
Lets go Nets…
Just edited the post, because
CDR hints on twitter that T-Will will start (for Hassell I assume).
NetsDaily.com
while you’re at it, do you mention telling him to stop playing Yi?
Anyways, i really want to see Twill get a triple double.
Also, i dont think CDR saying “TWill earned a starting position” is just “hinting” at the fact that he is starting. it’s pretty much a gurantee.
But in all seriousness
its about time twill gets a start, im happy for him.
Why hassell was starting beats me.
I think Harris has already gave up on this season...
He just doesn’t care whether we win or lose anymore. I think it doesn’t matter to him whether we get the worst record in the NBA or not… in my opinion, he already mailed it in after we set that 18 game losing streak.
I don’t think he is doing everything that he can in his power to help us win… that’s the impression that I get.
Yi sucks
Harris is sick. Who wouldn’t be looking at our record and our team. TWill should have been starting at SF since day 1. I wonder if Boone didn’t get injured last year, how long Lopez would have been on the bench. All he needed to do was twitter something stupid like commenting on Opie’s rotation and we’d still be writing about when he would get his chance to start. You got to be dumber than a rock to not figure out that TWill should start over Hassell. My guess is if Opie was still the coach, both Hassell and Simmons would be playing over TWill. We might have the worst team but we got the biggest laps. 19 reb fell in to Yi and 20 fell in for Boone.
Thats funny
I don’t know whats sadder… your point, or the fact that the very same game Boone had 20, Brook had 4… and those all fell into HIS lap as well! At least Boone sticks his nose in the paint to get boards. There is absolutely no excuse for Brook to not average 10 boards a game for the year. He is on the worst team in the league with no other front court help(no rebounding threats) and more importantly, he gets a ton of minutes in which he could accumulate those boards. Pathetic.
Wow
Its amazing how narrow everyone’s vision is. Just think about all the leagues best PG’s that are injured.
CP3 has been out forever.
Derron has had constant ankle, and now wrist probs.
Rose has missed a TON with all sorts of things.
Monta cant stay away from scooters.
Chauncey was out for a while.
Nash has chronic back problems, he plays still, but he plays poorly. Check his month by month stats.
This year the only good PG’s I can think of off hand who have been doing great injury wise, are Rondo, Westbrook, and of course… Kidd.
Maybe that’s why you all see the way you see it? Since Kidd was such a specimen.
Bottom line, injury is unavoidable. There is no such thing as “injury prone,” its all luck. Look at Grant Hill. What? he WAS injury prone, but now NoT? No, he just hasn’t had the unfortunate luck recently of hurting himself. Stepping on someones foot wrong. Getting knocked by an elbow. Knocking knees. Etc.
Hey @ Tim823 – What about Mo Williams?
Also saw on pregame that Terrence Williams will start tonight. YES!

@ Tim823 – You would be surprised at how few people share your opinion of Mo Williams.
