Game 17 – Nets @ Lakers – Sunday, November 29, 9:30

November 28, 2009, 6:02 pm

As the Nets stare deep into the abyss Sunday night, there smiling right back at them will be Kobe Bryant. With one chance to avoid an 0-17 start and history, the Nets go up against the world champs. Of course, the Lakers can be beaten. The question is whether the Nets can do it. LA is 12-3 and has won five straight. Meanwhile, reports fly that this is Lawrence Frank’s last game.

  1. Dan the Fan Says:

    At this point what do we have to loose other than games and our head coach.

  2. superb Says:

    If we win this game i will be upset. 0-20 lets go!!

  3. Lord Al Says:

    Frank’s walking the green mile

  4. Mr. Dollar Bills Says:

    This will be hilarious.

  5. Dan the Fan Says:

    @ superb
    if we will this game I’ll buy You season tickets for next year.

  6. Dan the Fan Says:

    *if we win this game*

  7. NetRick Says:

    We won’t win so lets talk about something else…

    Would it be fair to bench CDR for C Lee at this point? Other than Brook, CDR has been our best player.

  8. David Says:

    Harris is the guy that worries me. Lopez and cdr are good. Harris back in all-star form is a nice core with the high draft pick.

    Still not sold on Twil or Lee instead of Tyler or Ryan.

    Please fire Frank already.

  9. JohnY Says:

    i wonder what promotion Yormark is planning for the historic Dallas game on Wed. he’ll probably headline it as:
    Come watch your Nets make NBA history!
    See what no other team has been able to accomplish!

  10. David Says:

    Yormark would do well with a good team. He actually does as good a job as possible.

  11. halwas Says:

    LOL
    I can see the free Jerseys now.
    Mavericks on the Front Nets on the Back.
    With a Barclay’s Logo and the shoulder.

  12. Andy Says:

    I have a feeling that nets are going to lose.

  13. GSHOCK Says:

    LF “Give me a Break” Only reason he is still coach is Rod. Rod put this puzzle together and the pieces don’t fit. Terrible trades. Jefferson for Yi????? VC and Ryan Anderson for Courtney Lee??????????????? What a mess. Again the only free agents the Nets will get next year will be a couple of max season ticket holders

  14. diehardNFFLbarnone Says:

    @ GSHOCK – Why are you even still posting on here if you feel that way about the Nets?

  15. JohnY Says:

    A true Nets fan who cares about this franchise has EVERY reason to be upset with how mgmt has systematically dismantled this team brick by brick the past few years.

  16. obmb Says:

    I don’t see Thorn sticking around much longer. Kiki will supplant him and then Proki will bring in his own coaching staff. AK 47 will be in Brooklyn with the team so long as Proki pays him enough. The starting five on opening night in Brooklyn will be Lopez, AK 47, CDR, Lee and Wall.

  17. djheavyduty Says:

    VIt would be something special if the Nets won tomorrow
    I just want to see Lopez v bynum and CDR v Kobe

  18. obmb Says:

    ^it would be great to see teh matchup but the problem is that CDR gets no respect from the officials and the officials defer to Bryant. CDR is going to spend much of his time on the bench if Bryant goes after him. The refs always give him the calls.

  19. the 13yearold diehard nets fan Says:

    @Obmb
    I dont think Harris gets traded its rather strange to believe or want this..hes an allstar and i dont have the faith in Wall to run a team as a rookie
    What are th chances Harris gets traded this or next season? Everyone seems to belive hes gone but why? hes an allstar PG and trading him starts tearing apart the potential in the rebuilding phase, thus starting a new stupider rebuilding phase.

  20. obmb Says:

    harris is injury prone and has not shown the ability to make his teammates better. what is the option if you get wall? hold onto him and see, as between harris and wall, which one is better? i suppose you can do that but are they going to want to sit with so much money devoted to one position (walls guaranteed and harris’ money) when they will need to pony up to keep Lopez in a bit? I don’t know.

  21. Paul Erstein Says:

    Record Book, here we come!

  22. jarkid Says:

    What if the Nets win the lottery,

    should they draft John Wall or Derrick Fevors?

  23. Andy Says:

    wall because favors isn’t putting crazy numbers as of now.

    al farouq aminu and evan turner are putting up crazy numbers both who are SF…

    jarvis vernado a PF…in 2 games…21 ppg..11.5 rpg…7.5 rpg.

  24. jarkid Says:

    if we have John Wall, I think this team will trade Harris…

  25. NetFan48 Says:

    I think we should try and trade harris anyways for the rights to Ricky Rubio…Possibly a three team deal ???…How tall is Wall anyway…???…I think that Harris is going to have a Soap Opera career here between his injuries and playing hard when he wants to,etc….

  26. jarkid Says:

    @NetFan48

    no matter what, he is our pg now, just get over with it..

  27. ppoppa Says:

    In comes jarkid with the common sense! Nice.

    Until the ownership situation is resolved, no moves are happening (unless our whole roster gets injured, knock on wood).

    So…might as well get used to it for now.

  28. NiceBull Says:

    I think we should bring back Duncan, Sly is just not hearing L Frank anymore.

  29. JohnY Says:

    let’s be honest here: Devin Harris is a FORMER all-star. he’s not an all star this year and unlikely in foreseeable future.

  30. NateDD Says:

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=A … &type=lgns

    Sources say management has decided to axe Frank win or loss on Sunday once the team gets back to NJ…YES!

  32. supernetsfan Says:

    Harris won’t play for Frank..that is clear. It goes back to the benching last year. The odds are we get the 2 or 3 pick…not the one. So most likely we draft Favors/Davis/Montejanes/Monroe.

    Harris stays and with anew coach flourishes. The free agent money goes to whomever wants to come here. If not LeBron, they will throw it at Wade, Bosh, Amare. Then they will throw it at second tiers Joe Johnson, Carlos Boozer, Rudy Gay (restricted). SOMEONE will take this money. And with a star in Lopez as well as CDR and a supporting cast of Lee, Yi, TWill, plus a couple of draft picks this team has huge upside….go 0 and 82 NETS!

  33. Zartan Says:

    If the nets can sign Carlos Boozer or Chris Bosh, you draft wall. if not ,the pick has to be favors or Monroe.

    If you sign a markee PF then you try to trade Harris for a SF.

  34. djheavyduty Says:

    Thanks for the glimmer of hope natedd
    You can tell this team is tired of LFrank
    Wit 1.1 seconds left before halftime twill didn’t take a halfcourt shot
    I think the players realized that LFrank isn’t a good coach and stopped listening

  35. Andy Says:

    its it really strange that the media would announce such a thing right before tonights game…

  36. Andy Says:

    hey net income get the news out there…that thread is going to get ALOT of posts…

  37. Andrew Says:

    Hey…I heard Coach Frank is gonna get fired

  38. Andrés Says:

    It looks like this will be it for coach Frank… finally!
