Net Rise: Third Win, Three Point Shooting Move Nets Up...a Bit

by Net Income on Jan 16, 2012 2:48 PM EST

Marc Stein and John Hollinger thought the Nets made progress this week, winning their third game, vs. the Suns, but John Schuhmann is not so sure. Stein and Hollinger put the Nets at No. 26 in their power ranking, up from No. 29. Schuhmann holds steady at No. 28, and all make good points.

Stein sums up what many fans feel right about now. "Really thought the Nets would be OK in the short term without B-Lopez after signing Hump and Okur. Never thought D-Will would be shooting 36.6 percent from the floor." While Schuhmann applauds the Nets use of the three as a weapon to compensate for a Lost Lopez, he points to the defense. "On the other end, Nets opponents are shooting 51 percent in January".

Moving up a bit is still "moving up" nonetheless

Watching the Magic v. Knicks

It seems like DH12 is going through some motions himself! Gonna hurt their power rankings (keeping it on topic)

Excellent observation

He is most definitely going through the motions. No JRich and the Knicks have a two point lead.

The Knicks are a championship contender.

he would have really helped

Would have been less effective with no Dwight kicking out the ball to him but he would have had more touches. Hard working kid. Always liked him.

I never thought he would be this good

and I believe he is still 23.

Hateful, hateful trade.
