See what happens when we feature Brook when he has the advantage in the matchup? thats one step towards improvement Coach Frank! btw no one should be surprise that Brook had a good game, he always had this potential and certainly capable of being a 20/10 player when our guards notice him!

we lost but we were competitive given the disadvantages (shorthanded, VC, Hayes for the 0fer, non existent of 3s, Refs, capitalize 3 straight DET TOs)

again we lost but i'm not that upset we did everything right as much as we can and i just LUVed how we played D towards the end of 4th, we certainly did our part defensively to come back just fell short on the offense...

There are a lot of team with undersized centers that the Nets could feature Lopez. Also Nets had some nice pick and roll with Lopez and Harris tonight.
 
How about sending Yi to Ok City for Wilcox? I think they'd do that, and I'd take Wilcox over Yi any day.
 
Hope tonight was another step in Brooks development. He had success on the pick and roll and if the Nets could use that play more it would give another dimension to the offense.
 
He better not be 24, he has way to many flaws. He'd also be around the age where you just have to accept that he is who he is and won't progress much.
 
I am very disappoint Yi fault to help his team win, this game is the best chance, he's not doing enough to help the team win, but he do his best, his outside shot is overrated, I always know he just can't shoot well beyond 10 feet from basket, he has good touch but he isn't a shooter.
 
Lopez playing great, but he fault to help his team win also, his post defense isn't good enough, lost a key rebound and lost the jump ball, it hurts.

Actualy his post def. is very good. He's one of the only actually good defenders on our team.
 
What the hell was Frank thinking when he chose not to foul with 38 seconds on the clock and the Nets down by 4 with Detroit inbounding?? That really pissed me off...if they could not get the steal in the first 3 or 4 seconds of the clock, you have to foul there- i do not understand that decision at all....so Detroit took the full 24 basically, grabbed an offensive board and then the failed jump ball...Even if the nets had rebounded the damn ball, they would be down 4 still (2 possessions) with about 12 or 14 seconds and just one 20 second timeout to spare...awful decision...

i would rather have had the nets foul...hope somebody on detroit misses one by chance then you would be down 5 pts with over 30 seconds to go....get a quick shot or god forbid a 3 fell in and you are in much much better shape...oh well...happy new year all, go out and celebrate. I'll take 15-17 at year's end, all things considered

leave him alone, he is only 20, and a rookie.

no no no, in my angle he isn't that good, he try at evertime but always one step late when need his help defense.
 
look i kno the nets are strugglin at home and just lost 2 in a row... but im still very impressed with what we have done so far... remember guys we were picked to be 2nd to last in the league, just ahead of OKC.... soooo im happy :) and i still believe we make the playoffs... LETS GO NETS!!
 
Can I get an update regarding Yi's performance today? Please, let's keep it civil.
