wow, only 7 points from our rookies at pf. yi 2, ra 2, sw 1, niagra 2 Looks like the kids are getting schooled.

They are going against a pretty good player in Chris Bosh.

Bargnani's played really well tonight too.

Vince is ripping it

Bargnani's played really well tonight too.

Yes he has. Seems like he's really picking up his play of late and is now becoming more consistent. So there's still hope for Yi yet.

 

[soul driver]

why's devin leaving? he looks fine.

 

[Tang Man]

Lopez has all star quality about him. Nice foot work in the post.

I'm not sure what Yi's weaknesses are. But Bargnani left his national team and devoted an entire summer, with personal trainers and everything, to improve his defense and post game. The results have been incredible.

O'Neal's a very good post defender, and Lopez has had no trouble scoring on him. Very impressive.

A lack of strength. Mental problems. The skill is there but he just doesn't play with enough fire or aggression.

believe me. it will be short lived.

The mental thing has to be there to begin with, IMO.

With foreign players, I think a lot of GM's just assume that the national team commitments of international prospects is enough for their development. But a lot of these players need a solid season of individual training to truly adjust to the NBA. Bargnani added 12 pounds of muscle this offseason working out with Jermaine O'Neal and a bunch of personal trainers. I'd like to see the Nets devote the same sort of attention to Yi.

TSN (Canadian feed) just called Lawrence Frank the most underrated coach in the league.

[jerseycarter15]

[JAMES.SLIMM]

[BasX]

Yeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssss

If thats about the JO Injury that is pretty low

 

[xflavioVC15x]

Hating a player for 5 years is pretty low too

 

[soul driver]

good to see JO is ok. not a smart play by Sean.

 

[JAMES.SLIMM]

I don't think the NETS have given a hard foul since K-Mart days

 

[Chutney]

lol, Sean Williams was dangerously close to attaining Al Horford status in Toronto.

 

[King John da FiF]

Shouldn't this dumb a$$ coach be putting vince back in the game right now?

 

[xflavioVC15x]
