Game Ball, Lame Ball

[GMJ]

<div align="center">

<div align='left'>Game Ball - RJ (got it done tonight shooting the ball and going to the line. Check out the 9 assists, too), Boone (21 and 17 are you kidding me??), Kidd (12 assists, 2 TO's, thats more like it)

Lame Ball - Vince was good offensively, don't get me wrong, but that decision to throw up a two and not pass was dreadful.

So Vince gets the lameball for one bad play where he should have passed but put up the shot trying to draw the foul and free throws? Really????

Game Ball - Josh Boone who went crazy on the boards.

Lame Ball - Malik Allen gets - 11 with less than 3 minutes played.

Yeah he completely blew it. I understand that he's trying to draw a foul, but in his case he had enough time mid-air to pass out instead of chucking up a two. One play doesn't make a game, but that was a winnable game until he threw it away.

On that play they were down 3 and had no timeouts left. The best they could have done was a 3 to tie it or a quick 2 and a foul which would have been tough because they had no timeouts left. If you are looking for a play where the game was winnable look a couple of possessions back with 37s left and the Warriors up one and Wright missed an open corner 3 followed by a Kidd missed wide open 3 (2-10) after an offensive rebound. Oh then they allowed Baron Davis to get a fastbreak layup off of it to make it a 3 point game. If you are looking for one crucial play that was it that could have decided the game.

Ok so that gets your lame ball, then.

It was a team failure especailly once Andris caught the ball and instead it lead to a Baron Davis layup...yes layup.

Of course it was dumb of Vince to do but I agree that he isn't helping. We aren't paying Vince this kind of money to be a role player. We are paying him to score and help win. It was evident when he had an open layup and he passed it off to Wright that he is no longer a scorer, now just a starter with bad defense.

Game Ball: Josh Boone 21 and 17 and he rose to the occasion when Don Nelson tested him.

Lame Ball: Jason Kidd...2-10 shooting and got burned defensively alot...he can't defend penetration or the three point line. When teams run on us he gets exposed defensively.

lame ball goes to allen.
he comes in, with NO defense or offense, and they go on a 9-0 run or something, all with shots being over him. that was the start of it.

Game - RJ, Boone, Wright

Lame - Allen played two minutes and the Nets were outscored 11-0. Jason Kidd, who is going to start the All-Star game while shooting 36%. That's embarrassing.

Well he are some other allstar/ex-allstar/Nets players shooting bad this year:
Dikembe 14.3% 1 of 7 on the season
SAR 21.4% 3 of 14 (Good thing the Nets avoided him)
Marcus Williams 28% (14 of 50)
Magloire 29.8% (14 of 47)
Nenad Krstic 32.9% (27 of 82)
Steve Francis 33.3% (19 of 57)
Ben Wallace 34.7% (70 of 202)
Jason Kidd 36.6% (161 of 440)
Antoine Walker 38.3% (120 of 313)

Jerry Stackhouse 38.7% (128 of 331)
Boki 39.7% (133 of 335)

The closest player in FG% who might make the allstar game this year is either Ben Wallace or
Ray Allen 42.5% (227 of 534)

Malik -11 in three minutes? That's hard to do. Was he shooting at the wrong hoop? Sean Willy's -16 is pretty ugly, too. They should have posted him up in the first couple minutes when Barnes was guarding him. Instead they repeatedly went to RJ who started out about 1 for 7 and Sean got the quick hook and never recovered.

Game ball - Nets' Offense.

Lame Ball - Nets' Defense, and Malik Allen (who is somehow still on the team, pathetic).
