Nets Suffer Worst Loss of Season

PrintIt couldn't get over fast enough. In as ugly a loss as there has been this season, the Nets got blown out by the Pistons, Although the final score was 109-92, it wasn't that close. The Nets were down 30 in the third, 27 in the fourth, the biggest margin of the season. It was also the Nets' fifth straight loss.
Individually, the game was filled with unforced turnovers, missed layups and a general lack of energy and focus. The Nets ran out to 7-0 lead early, but the Pistons then went on a 24-8 run the rest of the quarter. In the third, the Nets fell behind 78-48, then 100-73 in the fourth.
Want another indicator how bad things were? Johan Petro was the high scorer with 16, the beneficiary of big minutes in a blowout. Deron Williams and Jordan Farmar finished with 14, but Anthony Morrow scored only two, Kris Humphries five points to go with six rebounds. Marshon Brooks, in his first game back, played 17 minutes and scored seven points. For Detroit, Jonas Jerebko, Rodney Stuckey and Greg Monroe finished with 20, 19 and 18.
Deron Williams said after the game,: "I got nothing for ya’ll tonight. It’s the same ol’ story every game. It’s kind of hard to really answer what went wrong."

To be successful, apparently Avery's Defense System requires it to be manned by NBA All-Defensive Team.
Avery's got the best job in the world. The only coach who can coast along with the "I ain't got no talent to work with"
How convenient. Avery must dread the prospect of DuWhite coming; he might actually be responsible for the W/L column then…

All year this team played with heart
Regardless of the score, they never gave up. Tonight, they quit on themselves. They stopped caring and it was evident. Tonight I thought I was watching 12-70. Tonight I am ashamed to be a Nets fan.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

It's perfectly fine for the Knicks to be on 3 game losing streak and getting thumped by lakers tonight: Because Knicks are missing their 2 best players.

At some point, he will regress to the mean
But he’s on fire right now. Combination of fresh legs while everybody else is exhausted, D’Antoni’s high usage system, Chandler and Jeffries being better chemistry guys than Melo and Amar’e which is helping their team overall, etc.

Hey Net Income, what did you say about Lin not able to score 10pt a game ever again?

To be successful, apparently Avery's Defense System requires it to be manned by NBA All-Defensive Team.
actually gotta give him credit for saying what a big story this was after he killed the Nets.
Now it’s the biggest story of the NBA.
No. That was NI giving Lin backhanded compliment, saying it was a media feel-good story.
NI never thought Lin was anything beyond a D-League talent.

For me, I can get over the fact that Lin is a Knick because he is such a great story but..
It really frustrates me that this all started against the Nets, and now we are really spiraling out of control.

The Nets are losers.
But i’m starting to wonder if DWill is the right player to build around. His play and his attitude this season are big red flags for me.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I gaurantee you would be saying that...
if we were even marginally healthy.

Character is tested during times of duress...
Not during times of success.
DWill has failed that test.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
He is a curmudgeon, I'll grant you that.
But I think Dwight’s effervescent, bubbly personality will buoy DWill’s surly demeanor, and vice versa. Will be a good cop, bad cop combo.

I can, because I'm not a believer yet
He’s had four good games and his usage rate is absurd. He’s played against DWill off a tough back to back, the Lakers off a tough back to back (guarding Derek Fisher) and the Wizards and Jazz.
I want to see it longer and more consistent before I believe he’s actually this good.
Tebow did it for awhile but eventually got torched against the Pats. It’s bound to come to an end eventually.
And remember, D’Antoni’s high offense system makes players look like offensive star. See Felton, Raymond.

D’Antoni’s high offense system makes players look like offensive star.
This is definitely a component to his success. D’Antoni’s system gives PGs the breathing space to inflate their numbers. Toney Douglas and Shumpert aren’t natural PGs, so they didn’t have success, but put any natural PG into D’Antoni’s system and his numbers will be inflated. His usage rate is absurd if you combine his points, assist and turnovers, anyone will see that. D’Antoni’s system doesn’t call any set plays. Lin is free to roam the court and do what he wishes with the basketball.

As a fellow Jets fan
and Nets fan haven’t you had it rough for about a week straight? It was rough as a Nets fan before but now its just crazy everywhere you look Lin this Lin that Knicks this smugness level is off the charts.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Eh.
I don’t mind it. It’s a good story. I like to see my Knicks fans friends happy; so I ain’t mad.
i half agree
i like the story, i’m happy for lin. but as a nets fans this is terrible. on so many levels.
as a Jets fan myself
I’ll say the Jets problems are no one’s fault but the Jets themselves. I think we can overcome them but not if we’re looking over our shoulder and worrying about what the Giant’s are doing all the time.
NY is NY man,you’ll feel the way you feel but if the Jet’s can’t win I’ll be happy for the Giants knowing If and when we go head to head with them I’m rooting for the Jets.
I don’t understand why Net’s fans can’t take that attitude with the Knicks. I’m a Knicks fan, but I’ve been to Nets games in the swamped out Meadowlands. I grew up in NY before moving to Jersey in the midst of the Kittles/Kidd/Williams run. I have no desire to see you guys fail and though the feeling may not be mutual, hating the Knicks aint gonna help things for the Nets or make too much difference in the outcome of games.
Not trying to convince anybody into rooting for the Knicks, first and foremost because everyone seems to hate Knicks fans including other Knicks fans.It aint an easy gig at all and in that sense there should be some understanding there. These two teams should be able to sympathize with each others struggles. I don’t watch or pay enough attention to your team to say that I am a fan but I can appreciate your team despite being a hardcore Knicks fan. Basketball is basketball no matter what jersey you cheer for. If you don’t like the Knicks fine. But most Knicks fans aren’t even thinking about what so and so teams thinks about Lin unless we’re actually playing against them. The best thing the Nets as a team, organization and fanbase can do, is to ignore the new found Knicks hype (as hard as it can be) and concentrate on the Nets current issues. Business as usual, make like it doesn’t bother you. The Nets will eventually get better like all teams inevitably do, the Knicks will get worse, I’ll be miserable again and it’ll be the circle of life. I mean it’s either that or you can just be happy for us because anything else just comes off as petty.

Remember the Pacers were the 8th seed last year?
J-Kidd to D-Will
And that's all she wrote.
The Knicks just beat the Lakers.
I can’t remember the last time the Nets beat the Lakers? Was that after the Nets traded for Vince?
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
The Knicks also lost 9 straight against the Lakers...
…until now.
It certainly feels like karma has shifted.
Don't care.
They did it without Melo/Amare. The Nets get blown out by 30 tomorrow if they play the Lakers.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I mean the karma that we had against them...
…Knicks a week ago were tied with the Nets in terms of win… We were the clear winner in the Melo/Dwill trade saga.
That’s all in the past now.
and without melo or amare
how is this possible. i will admit knicks bench is clearly better than ours because they would be starting playing for the nets. but still, 38 points for jeremy lin outscoring kobe’s 34. lin shot lights out, he was like 13 for 22.
worst..friday..ever.
Like the talking heads are saying...
…Lin actually IS making them play better. The offense flows much better with him on the floor.
The Knicks otherwise has a d-league level bench not unlike ours. Just look at the games from a week ago or two.
I honestly can’t say the same about DWill… Sometimes we seem to have more energy without him.
Lin is Shane Spencer
Remember Spencer came in and hit like 6 grand slams in September? Then faded into obscurity.

My point is that Andy is laughing partly because the Lakers got embarrassed by an Asian
If he weren’t laughing at Lin’s ethnicity, he would not have mentioned Lin being Asian in the first place. So isn’t that disturbing? Or else his sentence was just poorly worded.

Laughed because Lakers were embarrassed by someone who was a nobody.
I’m not laughing at Lin’s ethnicity….If that makes you feel any better.

Yes.
The idea you intended to convey was that people don’t know who Lin is, so they only know him as the “undrafted Asian from Harvard” — like I wrote, it was poorly worded, but you cleared it up.

Even with all the injuries
I put the lion’s share of the blame on Avery. I don’t care who’s on the floor. You cannot win games with your offense being a ballscreen for the PG at the top of the key and then 4 guys standing on opposite corners while one guy dribbles around and loses it. We need a freaking offense. We need motion, guys constantly moving, passing, and CUTTING. That’s what you do without a true low post presence. The fact that Bogans was the first guy to cut to the basket a few games back is alarming and absurd. That’s on the coach. You can’t let that happen and not make an adjustment.
And as for defense, STOP DOUBLE TEAMING GUYS WHO DON"T NEED TO BE DOUBLE TEAMED. I would rather have a star player work hard for his shot and make a tough shot than leave a three point specialist wide open for 3 or someone get an easy layup. That’s why you see so many teams egt easy layups. That’s why we have the worst defense in the league. It’s because we double team, and WE SUCK AT ROTATING AND HELPING OUT. Being a player that’s slow and dumb on defense is a bad combination.
Avery Johnson, please do us all a favor, and WAKE THE HELL UP.

good point
i was just thinking that. there are a lot of chinese in brooklyn and would be key to get their support for a profitable franchise. add international sales and you’re golden. if the knicks somehow retain him and he continues this pattern, it’s terrible for the nets. hopefully he fizzes out more towards the mean average in terms of his points and stats. right now he’s playing all star level. regardless I think the nets should actually look to pick up Lin. with our luck he’ll probably fizzle out or we’ll ask him to do everything he can’t and he’ll play terribly but with moving to brooklyn and adding Lin to the roster would help the international image of this team.

"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
Nets have so many injured players.
However, this team is playing uninspired ball and seem to just be going through the motions. They have no desire to compete and no desire to win. Hopefully if they get healthier and get a few guys back, they can turn this around.
I am so sick of seeing Sheldon, Sean, petro….garbage players on the court. This team is also so un-athletic. Thank you BK for continuing to wait for a D-Howard trade while this team continues to fall apart…
Move this garbage of a team to Brooklyn already; let them play in a High School gym across the River for the rest of the season; because they definitely do not resemble an NBA team and can’t win in Newark anyway or any other arena for that matter.

It doesn't help that they are exhausted.
You have third stringers playing major mins in an abnormally condensed schedule. These players aren’t built for this kind of grind. Shawne and Sheldon are playing starters mins on back-to-backs, for example. It’s not their lane.

I agree with you. Losing 2 out of 3 to a team in the same quality tier as you, and partially in blow-out fashion, is unacceptable.

Knicks got chemistry right now because of him. Until Deron has a legit post presence that he can play off of...
…and that presence must be Dwight…we ain’t got jack in this battle with the Knicks.
Humble. Not many NBA players are that....
I wonder what he must be feeling and going through….it must all be surreal.

That kid is playing well...
Could be a fluke though, lets see what happens for the rest of the season. He is definitely giving the Knicks a spark. Something the Nets don’t have and even D-Will can’t help them out.
4 games is too long to be a fluke for me

He might hit a wall...
…or something once he plays more. Or once a weakness is found and exploited upon.
But for now he seems to have the skills and intangibles to keep this going.
What's Lin's salary?
Think about the value Dolan is getting for him right now. It is literally the exact opposite of the Travis Outlaw Era
$800,000 i think

he’s bringin chemistry to a Knick team that had none. He’s tight on those pick and rolls with Chandler. He takes care of the ball and dribbles low. He knows when to kick the ball out.
The Knick fans are gonna fill this kid up with all the confidence he needs to keep it goin. If Melo can come into a Paul Pierce type roll and Lin set the done of the offense, they’re gonna be contenders.

Why does this season feel like it is a continuation of last year. Piss poor effort tonight.
These have been a horrible four years of Nets basketball and I feel that we accept losing now. How do you expect to be elite when we can’t even be average?

neither Nets or Lin deserve to be talked about here
Nets suck, and Lin’s a Knick, who cares about them?
I disagree with much here...again.
No, this is not a Knicks board.
But I have never had the “Knicks hate” as many have on this board.
I also wonder if the negative reactions to my or others’ props to Lin doesn’t reflect what I have been campaigning for for years here.
Jeremy Lin represents all that is good with basketball – for one reason alone:
He plays the game with the love, excitement, court and team vision, fundamentals and respect that made me fall in love with the game as a young player and life-long fan.
They are the qualities that I so hope Nets players, new and old, to possess.
When I see the LeBron and Melos and Derons of the league I am disappointed and saddened – So much talent, but such a lack of the above qualities. Rather, the qualities of entitlement, attitude, individualism, and inconsistent effort reign.
Good for you Jeremy, I hope it continues, it’s good for basketball and I hope that some other players take notice and are inspired.

The Nets have nothing to play for right now.
These games, the whole season is meaningless. Half the current roster won’t be here in a few weeks, and those that do stick around will be playing with a completely turned over roster. There isn’t a better justification for going through the motions.
From last season, this team has signed/released upwards of twenty players. It’s a revolving door.

How much you want to bet there not. The likely scenario —>D-Howard will stay in Orlando and D-Will will be a Dallas Mav next season. The Nets will continue to suck.

I dunno about you all of you guys
But I just started following the NBA a year or 2 ago and since I needed a “favorite team” I naturally chose the Nets since I’m from Jersey. I really really tried to like the Nets. I seriously tried. I joined this forum, read it daily, watched as many games as I could (not going to shell out money for something I don’t care about yet).
But now, the front office stumbles around like a bunch of drunk idiots, trying to assemble a freaking “dream team”, the players, if they’re not injured, all play like scrubs with no passion, the gameplan is terrible with awful coaching, and now, THEY’RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE IN NEW JERSEY.
I just. I dunno. What is there to like about this team? Can anyone help me out?

I say they are going to struggle in BK with attendance for a few years as they re-build there fan base. Most Knick fans are not going to become Net fans. Also many people in NJ are not going to be traveling to BK to watch games…IMO
And that is the point. Many New Jersey Nets fans have been lost, which, is a shame. The Nets orgnization is finally trying damage control with honoring New Jersey's 35 year history.
I agree that the commute to Brooklyn is not the most appealing. Now, if the Nets are able to land Dwight and that is a big IF, then like always there will be the normal band wagon fans that will jump on board. BUT, that will not be fans that are already Knicks fans like Proky says will happen.

I was at the Knicks game tonight
Got free tickets from the boss (lower level).
Watching Lin play~ the dude is pretty smart. Splits the double team before it comes to him. Passes the ball at the right moments (although he did have some bad passes early).
Just seems like a high bb iq player. also when he commits to taking it to the hole he does it all the way. Either draws the foul or gets it in the basket.
Rooted for the Lakers, but they couldn’t do crap. Kobe stunk it up for the most part and the rest of the lakers stunk it up as well.
If he plays like this all season long
I dont think Knicks will be able to retain his services.
yea surprisingly there was a pretty decent turn out
lots of laker jersey’s in the house.
several celebrities too.

just upset that Knicks won and Nets couldn't even put up a fight
Checked the Nets score near the end of the half had the
“are you serious” moment.
That's incorrect
There’s the Gilbert Arenas Provision where he is a restricted free agent and other teams can only offer as much as the MLE. The Knicks will use theirs on him, the $5M and he’ll stay.

NETS POLL
Who leaves (or gets booted) first?
1) Avery Johnson
2) Mikhail Prokhorov
3) Deron Williams
the thing that kills me is that
a. it’s a condensed season players are going to get tired and odds are some nights teams are going to beat teams they have no business beating
b. almost half our team is injured meaning other players are playing heavy mins they aren’t really accustomed to
c. to piggyback on that last statement i hate it when people say “hey other teams have injuries and they suck it up and play” well we do too ok and P.S other teams are def not going through what we’re going through
It's indeed a wacky season filled with anomalies. Lots of things going on this season are going to look screwy in hindsight.

We must choose one of 2 ways.
Deron and Howard or new rebuilding plan.

3 - D. Stevenson / S. Williams / D.James

There's No Hope....This organization is cursed....
Someone pulled some VooDoo on us……..Every one that comes to play here either plays like moiso or gets injured……….And all the coaches suck too……
some of us act like we already have dwight
even though this whole situation with him and deron could completely change directions in a nanosecond
We'll get a better draft pick.....
But then we will trade him away for Dwight….
if the dwight thing fails and deron walks
we still have a very good draft pick in a stacked draft, brooks and lopez, and alot of capspace. We would be back to rebuilding again but say deron does stay we can deff build a playoff team next year without any worries about leaving flexibility for top tier players. with that being said this season has totally been horrible with the dwight situation and all the injuries we been going through.
Guys seriously enough
With being more negative about this team than we already are… If Dwill wants out, king woulda been shopping him around already… Dwill is going to BK with Dwight!
Our front office got this… Why do u think we signed a few 1 yr contracts? King and Dwill along with D12 have plans going to BK… Do u guys not remember D12 going to Russia with the owner? How about the dinner he had with Dwill? And how about the 90% chance dwill is re-signing? Or how about the trade demand dwight made? These are all signs that something great is finally going to happen to this team…
The ppl I have mentioned have all been talking to get together in BK…

Something wrong with this for a long time.
Dwill is here, but nothing changes.
I consent DH12 will come to NJ. That’s the best way.
But if DH12 would come, is it over?
Then we have to think more about focusing the champ.
At least, our team should be playoff team if we have Dwill.
But if we still at the bottom, there is something wrong.

and detest the Knicks still…..I think this is going to be more short-lived than it appears..
So far, from what I’ve seen of him, all he does is drive to his right and can only shoot somewhat well from the left side of the court, favoring his right hand…
He has no left. How can other teams not see this???? He goes to his right EVERY time.

I think you're wrong
I happened to be at the game tonight because of free tickets and I have to say you’re wrong about this. The thing the guy does well is change speeds very well like Chris Paul. On the double team he’ll just dump it off or split the double, but
1. he can go left, he just doesn’t have a strong left drive/layup, but he can use it to get around you
2. he’s clearly learned to shoot over much longer and bigger guys in college days. He wasn’t doing circus shots, but slightly off balance fades. Fro example he’ll drive in hard, accelerate, then back off slightly and fade shot just over your hands. In another play they rotated Gasol on him cause of a screen, he called an iso, then just slow-dribbled up like he was measuring Gasol’s length (who was backing off to prevent the drive and covering his RIGHT hand). One second later squared up open shot that Gasol could not contest.
I think you’re simplifying basketball way too much. Chris Paul is not “super athletic anymore” but you can’t actually stop someone if they can change speeds and dribble low to the ground.

Remember, he’s played against crap with fresh legs. Nets and Deron off a back to back, Lakers off a tough back to back in Boston, then Wizards and Utah. D’Antoni’s run and gun system makes some players look like offensive stars, when in reality they are not.

Same lame excuses for years......
Other teams have injuries and the rest of the players manage to play smart and play well…….
the difference is their players look like they play basketball
while ours continue to look like they shouldn’t be in the nba. it’s upsetting sometimes.
lawrence frank contributed to us getting destroyed against pistons. avery was simply out coached. “Switching to a Zone Defense” was the answer avery issued down the stretch, which obviously did not work.
i saw no plays being run on offense, no screens, no cuts to the basket. and for whatever reason we got the ball exactly where we wanted but the play didn’t go down.
only bright spot is after a rough start, brooks ended up scoring 7 points. not too shabby for light minutes and coming back. had a number of consecutive turnovers but i hope that’s just rust.
with lopez coming back in like 3 weeks hopefully, things could very well change. the schedule favors us then i believe and we can make a stretch. but we can’t continue to lose 5 or 6 games in a row.

if there’s a good Latino player in the second round, nab him. Worst case we get a J-will esqe marketing goldmine or we get a Scalabrine-eqse marketing gimmick.

If Lin keeps up this, Knicks might enter
Dwight sweepstakes. I don’t know whether anybody mentioned this but Melo is expendable if Lin keeps this up. Knicks can offer Melo, Chandler, Fields or Shumpert for Dwight, Hedo and Duhan. That works for both organizations. This is bad for Nets and believe it or not we helped them to start this by letting Lin score at will against us.
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
this may be unpopular but I have to say it
Avery Johnson really should have more pressure put on his shoulders. I’m not saying that he should be fired(yet), but this idea that we should blame only the players and overlook Avery’s garbage coaching this season is ridiculous.
Regardless of how piss poor this roster is, the system that we have in place is abysmal and gets little out of the players.
Meanwhile, the Knicks are out there with a line up of Chandler, Jeffries, Walker, Fields, and Lin, and beat the LAKERS.
The Nets have very few excuses. Deron Williams’ comment is on point.
Avery is not getting fired
Unless Phil Jackson is interested in coaching the Nets, we aren’t going to create instability by firing our coach at this point. Our team stinks right now that’s just the reality. No available coach is going to turn this patch work team into a competitive team. We are talking about how great the Knicks are doing….ummm a week ago wasn’t everyone talking about how their coach needed to be fired? We sacrificed the lame duck Jew Jersey season for a shot at Dwight Howard in Brooklyn, and then suffered injuries that our already thin team can not support. We should blame the players because the team stinks, can we stop living in a Disney fantasy world where a coach is going to come in and give a rah-rah speech, introduces an unorthodox scheme and coaching methods and the team goes from balls bouncing off their face and air balling free throws to world champions.

That being said, still i’m willing to stick with him for now as it’s a little unfair to put it all on him as well when he doesn’t have a full team with brook,brooks,dwill all on the floor. Also, players deserve some of the blame as well but avery as a leader of the team should get his guys to play hard for him at the least and i don’t see it now
our guys don’t look motivated to play hard for him

I disagree.
A large majority of our games, our guys have played hard for him. It’s only recently when the effort level has tailed off because guys our exhausted by the grind of the condensed season for third stringers. The orange has been squeezed juiceless at this point, and we’re now seeing the results. It’s not because of a lack of will imo; there’s just no stamina left in the tank.

Honestly
You know what keeps Knicks relevant? Their fans, if you guys remember clearly the last time the Knicks mattered was when they played SA in a lock out season, and as bad as they have been since then, you’ll never get a Knick fan to admit how much they suck, and as much as I hate them for that, I respect that! I am tired of coming on this site and seeing these so call fans complain about a team that is barely a team, our PG has been playing his behind off with what he’s got (which is nothing right now) and when he win he’s the man, when he lose he worst than a PG who no one has been paying attention to, until now ( and believe me, this Lin thing isn’t gonna last, because coaches will start preparing for him) He sees no double team like DWill does! If you’re a Net fan, support your team, if not jump on the Knicks bandwagon and go find a Lin jersey, but enough of this flaky support that we get on this site, it’s really making me sick!

Back Up PG – We need a Snow type of back up PG. Defender that can hit open shots. I am tired of Farmar and Gaines. IMO these guys along with Dwill go spoiled in Europe. Their heads have gotten bigger.
Back Up C – We need a Jason Collins type of player. SheWill can fit the bill but he needs to work on this hands.
Starting SF – We need someone that can defend and hit open 3s. Bowen type of guy. Bogans was the guy but with this injury who knows.

It is what it is can’t do nothing about that. Doc River is a great coach but he went through not having enough talent for a couple of yrs before being great.

We are going through the motions and yes I hurts like hell but we will be fine by the time we reach Brooklyn. I have faith in who is running it. Proky, BK and Avery will make it happen.
I like double d's. Deron and Dwight lol.

How Bad Are We?
All I know is Avery has been out coached by LFRank twice in a row. I have seen Frank make adjustments and they have payed off big. What has Avery done? He has to be responsible for the lack of awareness of his players who do not make the right rotations on defense. Unless they are utterly stupid, they are consistently leaving men wide open. Coach should be calling them on that and teaching that, but it is all getting worse. I have never seen so many wide open shots — well, not true, we saw this with Kiki and last year. This team is atrocious and I would not be surprised if DWill calls DWight and says Dallas. or ABB: anywhere but Brooklyn. Avery does not impress me.
Perfect Storm
Nets Tank.
Knicks Rise.
Jeremy Lin comes out of left field. Dominates Kobe and the Lakers.
This must be a dream within a dream within a dream. Or maybe this is real.
Lin’s stock rises….knicks now have REAL tradeable assets…arguably more so than the Nets right now. Blegh. This is worse than what I thought the worst case scenario would be. Not only do we run the risk of going to Brooklyn with an all scrub team…but this Linsanity things is truly putting the Knicks on good graces with the national media. ugh.
Fake fans

Just opinions being voiced...
…nothing else. Part of being a fan is to know when you’re team can’t move an inch. If there weren’t so many losses, maybe thoughts like “fire Avery”, “Deron needs to gtfo”, “jeremy lin is God” wouldn’t go through mind. Most of us find it easier to go on with watching the Nets if we find some kind of reason behind the losing.
I, for one, say it’s the Lopezlessness. There’s two stars on this team, they don’t do so well one without the other.
