great win. the nets beat the two teams i hate the most: NYK and Boston

As important as any other consideration, DLee now must be impressed with the Nets.

Would he rather play with that Core of about 6 Knicks + maybe an injury prone McGrady and maybe a Boozer or Amare? or with the Nets with Evan Turner and possibly RGay or else cap space to get someone next year?

Very significant win.

CLee and DLee next year.

Love to hear boos from the crowd in MSG, love when my team wins games like this. Next: Memphis. GO NETS!

What about the Kiki press conference.
Does he seem less happy than he should be??

I really don’t want the Nets to hold the worst-ever record.
After that, my next wish is to get rid of Yi.
Then I can’t decide if I want the 1st or 2nd pick. Maybe it’s better to not have to take Wall out of public pressure. Might prefer Turner or Cousins or even Johnson.

He plays an hour away from the Nets so I doubt this game changes his impression of the Nets at all. He knows we’re still 7-55. The key to this win was getting Lee and Gallinari in early foul trouble, then the Nets were able to come back from the early deficit.

At least the Nets split the season series with the Knicks. Something to be proud of…

Word the only reason why we won is cause. The Yi project is over!
When he was playing we were losing by a deficit of almost 20 points.
He leaves and by the end of the quarter we’re down by 10.
I’m prepared to see more wins with him out.

If Yi’s out, sign Alexander Johnson for 10 days. He’s a power forward who can rebound and score, and who has NBA experience. It’s pretty much of a no-brainer, but I guess it’ll never happen.

We’re down 16 in the 1st, it looks like it always does….
AND THEN YI GOES DOWN…
and then we look like the team that many thought we could be….
That’s not coincidence, that’s cold, hard, blatant inevitability.

Comparing T WILL TO TURNER???? And saying they are = ??? What ?? Turner is SUPERSTAR!!!! TWills playing good now so all of a sudden no love for Turner??? WOW. First Kerry Rhodes gets traded and now TWill is being compared to Turner… So i guess i should compare my ford taurus to a Lamborghin because the one i seen has the same color….. SMFH

When he went out means we are not playing 4 on 5 offensivevly anymore for the rest of the game, meaning we are able to space the floor better and the double team on Lopez means a shooter wide open, therfore making shots, if you don’t believe this watch the game again, teams leave Yi open for a reason, he can’t throw it in the ocean, not on defense the guy moves like he has sand bag around his shoes, he soo slow and his contesting of shots is terrible, if you put in a lamp post in to replace him it will do better let alone hi energy Hump.
Well the Lakers won 4 straight when Koby went down, I don’t think the Cavs can do that without Nasty Bron Broom.

Kiki is learning the hard way what Frank knew all along and what Frank probably battled with Kiki about: the Nets are better w/o Yi. He is an anchor on the team’s defense and offense. They play better at small ball and that works against the Knicks. Hope Yi is out until he plays for another team. They are more fluid w/o him. So Kiki was unhappy b/c the win cost him his pride: eat crow, baby!

Rafer Alston was suspended by Miami indefinitely
He is likely to retire per Alston.

They don’t give explanation, but many of us favored getting rid of him earlier this year because he wasn’t good for team chemistry. We were apparently right!!

The Nets fans know best.

Does someone have the full story on this?
I am not an ESPN Insider.

(DLee said previously that he wants to stay in New York (area)).

He must be dreaming about playing for Nets now.

Thorn should be pleased. Maybe he won’t have to pay more than 13 million to get a real replacement for Yi.

David Lee wasn’t happy after another New York loss last night. Lee, a power forward, is tired of playing center for the Knicks, but he’ll try to do his best.

“I’m doing my best down there at 6-9 to contest shots,” Lee told the New York Post. “I’m going to try to do better, control the paint better. A lot of times I’m playing a guy 5 inches bigger than I am and 50 pounds heavier. It’s something I can definitely get better at. We have 21 games left and I’ll be at the ‘five’ and see what happens. I’m doing all I can do.”

Lee is a free agent and he may not want to stay with the Knicks if they don’t sign a center with all their cap room this summer.

The story should be about the success of a team clicking after Yi went down. They outscored Knicks by 33 after he went down with ankle injury.

The story should be about Lopez, Harris, CLee, TWill and Hump being the core of a decent team and how Kiki has been slow to realize that and that Kiki has cost Nets many losses by not realizing this.

Yes, nice win!

Agree with all those above, the team plays better without Yi.

How about 5 or 6 more wins before the end of the season.

And so far as the phony Chinese Net Fan post in the Charlie Chan english goes…. not really all that funny. Given how much money your government owes the chinese, maybe you ought to learn how to speak it for real… cause they will own us soon enough.

He quit after Arroyo took over his starting position.

Would like to hear NI’s thoughts, because he always favored keeping Alston over Dooling when they were playing together.

You can imagine how much Alston hurt Nets chemistry.

This is more reason to consider re-negotiating Doolings contract this summer and hope he stays.
Nets better appreciate Keyon.

His injuries can affect teammates and Opponents 3pt shooting abilities. We must keep this guy at all cost!!! Hey, guys I just thought this up, it must be TRUE!

"You can’t compare D. Lee with Yi, you need to compare both to a pile of money. David Lee is probably going to ask for a max contract. Yi is locked up with the rookie contract". by Malorkayel

So it’s better to lose while not paying a lot than better yourself by paying more even it’s a lot more. Surrrre. You get what you pay for. I don’t care if the guy is making $10, if he can’t defend or shoot he’s worthless. D. Lee puts up numbers playing out of position. He can’t defend cuz of his lack of size at center but if he played next to Lopez it might be a different story. He might be the best option for the Nets to upgrade the PF position if his contract allows us to still sign a max player. If we get the first pick, the way D’Antoni loves his PGs maybe we trade DH for D. Lee as a sign and trade with other players involved to make the money work.

Still, I think Nets and Lopez can use stretch 4 and a defensive specialist at 3. Trade for a guy like Gerald Wallace or Iguodala. Or of course Lebron would be the best. David Lee is not my first choice for to offer a Max contract. I like giving Hump more minutes.

where have you been all year? nursing minor injuries and being totally ineffective. i don’t think we can count on either of these china dolls. i’d get rid of both of them.
