Some Nets fans are depressed, the reason is not that this team is not the elite team, they are even not the mediocre team, we can say they are the worst team in the NBA, not emotionally to say about this.</p>
How the hell is 8-9 a very bad record? We are not the worst team in the NBA. You just love to overreact. They never been elite, they are an average regular season that have the potential to make noise in the playoffs.</p>
Even Sixers or Blazers have the better consistent offensive game than the Nets.</p>
Sixers and Blazers are not known for being defensive minded teams. Sixers are one of the more up tempo teams in the league. And the Nets are better offensively than the Blazers.</p>
Can you name the other teams which have 2 or 3 All-Star players, but they always struggle with the offensive game and could be down by 20 easily every night.</p>
Knicks and Bulls. And the reasons we struggle on the offensive end is because these guys are not playing up to par along with bad rotations from Frank.</p>
Somebody said Lawrence Frank is okay, it's hard to coach a team with a crappy roster. But You have Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Magloire, at least four all-star caliber players. Sean Williams the top rookie of the strong draftin 2007, Do you really believe thatit's all FRONT OFFICE's fault, or players' fault?</p>
The Nets only have two allstars- Kidd and Carter. Jefferson is a borderline allstar while Magloire has never been an allstar talent. And it is a combination of everyone when looking who is at fault- Frank for confusing coaching schemes, management for assemblying a poorly built team, and the players that are not playing at the level they are expected to play at.</p>
OK, you say the players play like a crap, but why don't you say the midget coach can not lead them mentally? In my opinion, Lawrence Frank is not a coach that would make your confidence bigger ! He only makes your confidence to be lower and lower. That's why our bench players are very very inconsistent. Let's see Magloire who is very very depressing on the bench !</p>
The coach never dogged them, yet as soon as they wanted to play and promised to help, they played like crap. Magloire was all high and mighty, saying how he was in shape and a piece that can help. Thus far, he has played like crap on offense and affected our play negatively when he was on the court. Frank punishes him by not playing him since he is hurting us more than helping. If a player wants to play, he must show it to the coach. Magloire's lack of enthusiasm and terrible play is not showing Frank anything positive. And being a in your face coach does not always help, sometimes it may lower the player's confidence even more. It all depends on the player. Yelling at Nachbar wont change a thing. He has been getting great open looks but he is not making them. Plus, we have seen no evidence of the players hating Frank. They like him. How many times do you hear the players complain about him?</p>
A good coach could make their players out of their mind, but Frank does it contrarily. His decision making and rotation making are really terrible, and terrible.</p>
I honestly dont 100% understand what you are trying to say in the first sentence. Can you reword it please?
As i said before, i agree, some of his rotations have been confusing and bad.</p>
In fact, I am giving up on this team now, this team can not even pass the 1st round in the playoffs.</p>
Bye bye then, go ahead and quit on the Nets. But as a fan of this team, I will stick with them through the good and bad times.
</p>
But if you are like jizzy, you'll say the exact opposite after a win.</p>
All I could say is that this is very regrettable for the Nets in the history, the Nets finally have 2 great players like Kidd, and Carter,
but the front office and coach kill them, oh, including the fans that defends for the coach.</p>
Way to slide a personal attack against those who dont agree with you.</p>

Also just to add because i want to avoid double posting: check out the second post in the thread called free ariza on the lakers board. Even the greatest of coaches can make confusing moves in fans' eyes.Now, now, im not comparing Frank to Jackson, but rather im pointing out that even if we got a better coach, many of you would still find something to complain about.

1. I have said about this for many times, 8-9 is not a really factor, please check what I said in the other thread just recently.</p>
2. You mean we are known as a good defensive team so we are lack of offense? Give me a break. We are not good in the both end.</p>
3. Ben Wallace was an all-star, but Hinrinch ? Gordon ? Luol Deng? Marbury isthe only one who wasall-star on the Knicks.</p>
Are you a NBA fan? I don't think you realize NBA.</p>
4. Jefferson is averaging 25 points a game and is the top 4 scorer in the NBA. Magloire could contribute, you give him six straight DNP , how can he show his All-star talent? OK, You might say he showed he sucked, but how can you not keep giving him the minutes to show ? It's a long season, not playoff series. Just like Carter, he was playing badly at the begin of the season, but he's showing he is great right now.</p>
5. Excuse me, Magloire already showed very much that he wants to help this team, and he doesn't complain that he gets the DNP !
Frank just started him for 2 games without Carter, and when Magloire played against the Heat, he showed he is a solid down-low defender.
Why not to try play him with the big three and Sean Williams?
Then he got 6 straight or more DNPs, is this a good coach? He is not a good coach, he likes to bench and kill the young players' confidence.
If Magloire really plays badly, but when we are going to the playoffs, sorry, if you only play Malik Allen and Jason Collins as your main power, this team has no hope, at least, Magloire is the toughest guy between them.</p>
6. I mean Frank can not encourage the players, and always makes them disturbed. Just look at Boone, Marcus, and Magloire.</p>
7.You don't need to say Bye Bye to me, it's none of your business. Go reading your comic books, little brother.</p>
8. That's not a personal attack. It's the truth, you are harming this team by your stupid suggestion and logic.</p>
If you are right, this team should be good, not just as bad as knicks.</p>
