You've got the potent Magic offense scoring only 88 points?
Life is a series of serious choices, theories are formed from experience, never mysterious forces. - stic.man
"I'm not impressed by your performance" - GSP
If we can't win...
Which, let’s face it, is almost a guarantee – I want VC to have an outstanding game. I still love the guy.

We get to watch VC again.
Howard vs Lopez, Howard can be vulnerable to bigger taller players.
Imagine
if Lewis scored pts or Yi was guarding Barnes, you all would have a stroke.
That’s the thing though – I think he definitely can be better (with his talent)… He just doesn’t know how. THAT’S the frustrating thing.

if he doesn't know how
isn’t that the coaches fault?
Vince's trick shot

Vinsanity...
must be the most overused phrase for him ever.
Looks like Hassell is still our 2nd best post player. FML

I like what I’ve seen from CDR tonight. He’s been alright. Could be better, just like anyone else on this team tonight.
Except for Yi….it’s impossible for him to be better. He just can’t.
The little kid has balls .., give him credit . Respect

Really, Hayes comes in off th ebench before T-Will? Does T-Will’s recent play mean nothing? Screw you kiki
i guess the refs
are affected by those random yells
Why???
When Lebron left the game the Nets made comebacks now Howards out the game the Nets are making a comeback what’s with that???
Isn’t it obvious? If an opposing team’s best player is on the bench, it only makes sense for the Nets to make a bit of a run

Devin's jumpers
He HAS TO stop taking out-of-rhythm jumpers COMPLETELY against the flow of the offense. He does it every game and it’s completely infuriating. An actual established coach (not Kiki) wouldn’t stand for it.

@Rusty_b
That’s been the Nets biggest problem this entire season Devin just throwing up shots whatever the situation is…especially three’s.
Why does that matter? He failed to box out JJ REDICK

yeah…yi is also supposed to box out tim duncan even if he is not in this game…

I hate NBA Coaches
Because if y’all haven’t realized the game against Cleveland Mike Brown played Lebron 14 straight mins even with the 22 point lead now tonight Howard has not been out the game yet! that’s the ONLY WAY THEY COULD BEAT US!
lol… Yi with the rainbow jumper from 8 feet

At the half
I can’t believe we’re only down 7.
'The Crossover' - a Nets and Knicks podcast. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=268817312
He really is so far. It’s not that he’s played poorly, he’s just barely had the ball in his hands. I’m not entirely sure why he spent so much time on the bench in the 2nd quarter either.
'The Crossover' - a Nets and Knicks podcast. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=268817312
There is no hope: We are Nets fans
Dwight Howard will dominate in the third quarter, going for about 15 points and grabbing 9 boards before briefly sitting out to start the fourth quarter.
When Dwight isn’t given the ball, the Magic’s outside shooters will nail the three everytime they throw it near the basket. When they do miss one of their 27 attempts in the quarter, Howard, Bass, or Gortat will get the offensive board and go back up for the layup.
We will be down around 20 points heading into the fourth.
Why are times in Pacific Standard Time?
Isn’t this the official site for New Jersey Nets news & discussions? Why can’t we be in EDT, being that, you know, most of us are on the East coast?
Anyone else bored by this game?
The Magic starters looked totally disinterested, especially Vince who I came to see play. They just kept getting the ball to Barnes and made him do the scoring. The only excitement was the Howard-VC dunk show during warmups.

Refs
Hating on Yi, 2 quick fouls. took away a steal and dunk.
It’s still the best way of going about it. I’ll take my chances on Dwight not continually coming up with a steal.
It’s still a better strategy than having Devin shooting random jumpers.
'The Crossover' - a Nets and Knicks podcast. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=268817312
I'm just going to throw this out there...
If we’re only down by single digits at the end of the 3rd, we’re a chance to take this one out. The Magic are susceptible to long periods of awful shooting.

LOL
Keven Martin’s shot motion drives me nuts.
I just found out Jarvis Hayes is building a new house in New Jersey.
That would explain all of the bricks.

I propose that the Nets
run a perimeter defense drill after this quarter. Way too many open looks from outside.

OT: The Celtics have signed Michael Finley
Which makes the average age of players on the team 66.

You now the celtics are in trouble when Nate is there most productive scorer right now even coming off the bench T-Will could learn something.
When was the last time the Nets scored when they had the final possession of a quarter? Last season?

How is Yi causing TWill to commit all these turnovers. I know it’s his fault I just can’t explain it.

Brook Lopez hasn’t hit an outside shot in months. What happened to that part of his game? Making the 18-footer every once and a while?
NO NO NO NO…YES!

Terrence Williams Dunk
6/10.
Could’ve been better, but it would’ve been awful if he missed it. Next time, let’s throw it off the backboard, go through the legs in mid air, 360 spin and throw it down with the left hand.
lol

It’s quite obvious our biggest weakness: We have zero outside shooters besides a streaky Lee. Teams just pile the paint and box out.
Yea – What IS Terrence Williams doing taking contested three pointers with 20 seconds left on the shot clock? Has Bobby “Worthless” Simmons gotten into his head?

Okay, let's look at the good side of this game...

MR. T
OK OK terrance Williams needs to start already, having a point forward on the court, gets the offense flowing better, his D has improved. KIKI give the guy a shot, get Humpries more involved. where is Boone.
VC talk to Devin in the end
That talk that VC gave to Devin in the end is what where missing you can’t buy that smh.
it's not too bad guys
We’re only 49 games under .500.
They’re going to get rid of the salary cap and next year our starting lineup is going to consist of John Wall, Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, David Lee and Brook Lopez.
And really, a lineup of Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, Trenton Hassell (resigned for eight years), Yi Jianlian (locked up through 2040) and Brook Lopez (injured in first game of year, replaced by Shaq just so his Newark ppl don’t get too depressed) can still win us 10 or 12 games next season. Add a Rudy Gay and David Lee, we might miss the playoffs but win 30 or 35.
WE MUST BEAT THE KNICKS 2MORO
did anyone else have touble with the "post" button not working sometimes?

This has probably
been one of the most productive Nets game threads I’ve seen. Almost no bashing towards Harris, CDR, and Yi.
