Learn to ****'n shoot

[NOMAM]

9-24 free throw line! Are you freak'n kidding me?

Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick! Brick!

Especially in the 4th quarter. I mean it was not like they weren't getting looks either. This was such an obvious hole on the Nets coming into the season and Thorn hasn't done anything to try and fix it yet. They can't go into the playoffs (if they make it) with this kind of shooting.

we have no paint presence. its just contested jumper after jumper. this team blows

 

[Jizzy]

**** this team man, just **** it

 

[Black Republican]

Im so pissed,right now.

 

[Dark Defender]

This is a case where the Nets gave the best team in the league a good game.

It's something to build on but you know this team, they could very well lose the Nets 5 games playing uninspired.

 

[Jizzy]

what pisses me off is that thorn still thinks this team can win like this.

Cmon man,im tired of that.They cant compete for shyt.

The Nets had like a 3 million dollar trade exception which they let expire. That sure could have come in handy to get a shooter or two. Now they still have Magloire's expiring contract to use in a trade. Thorn better find some freak'n shooter.

You know, I like the idea the Raptors have with their PG duo in Ford and Calderon. Instead of having a star type PG they use two very good PG's who can give similar production and have similar skills and their combined output is something that rivals the best PG's in the game. Thorn should look to take the same approach with the Nets front court. Sean and Boone should man the 4 spot and Krstic with another player with similar skills like a Brad Miller should play center. Then they get another shooter at the backup wing position and the Nets would have something close to a balanced, talented roster.

Kidd - M.Williams - Armstrong
Carter - shooter - Wright
Jefferson - Nachbar
S.Williams - Boone
Miller - Krstic

That's the kind of line up I hope to see going into the playoffs.

I don't care when Kidd misses because Kidd isn't our scorer.

I can't stand it when Nachbar and Carter miss wide open threes.

I loved Buford. He was almost a Carbon cop of Nachbar lol

 

[Jizzy]

buford was so underrated. he was a consistent scorer when he got minutes but douchebag frank decided to bench him for scalabrine in the playoffs. it was buford who should have been starting frank! buffffuuhord!!!!!!!!!

 

[Black Republican]

UGHHHHHHHHHH

 

[bling890]

Exactly, and when Buf got hot, he got HOT. he could dunk a little too, bring back BUFORD lmao

 

[NOMAM]

Another thing that annoyed me in the 4th quarter was Kidd guarding House and Carter was guarding Ray Allen. It should have been the other way around with Kidd on Allen since this is the better defensive matchup. It didn't cost the Nets the game this time but for another time in the future, put Kidd on the better offensive SG and let him chase them around and get up in their face and try to lock them down.

he was never afraid to shoot, unlike the shit we have now. he was like a taller eddie house. i still remember this guy just coming in and burying shot after shot yet the coach we have hated him

Yeah lets bench the player averaging 10.5 and 9 as a starter, while playing the best defense in the frontcourt! That's just plain stupid. Boone isn't the problem. Also Brad Miller is an older Nenad (another month and he'll be back) so no thanks.

We need a true SG who shoots the ball with accuracy...not a bigman who fancies himself a shooter.

I didn't say Boone was the problem. Boone has been playing better than Sean, but Sean has more potential which I hope he lives up to and becomes the eventual starter for the team. But throughout the season it could end up go either way of who starts between Sean and Josh. That's not a big issue anyways.

Brad Miller an older Nenad? Great! That was the point of my post. Get a player with a similar skillset so there isn't a drop off in production or skill level when one comes out of the game. This type of depth would be most useful in the long regular season when there are injuries and such. It could also bring some consistency to their offense.

 

[Jizzy]

i dont want miller. we need a POST presence, ala O'Neal, and despite what you all say, he'd be a good fit. i think i might give up sean if boone keeps playing like this. sean and boone are redundant

 

[Joey FistPump]

who exactly are you giving up to get Miller? He has a pretty large contract. Either too many role player and draft picks or one of the big three would have to be involved. No reason to waste resources on a player who won't correct the true problem. Also for all this "potential" around SWAT...its still just potential. He relies on his athleticism way to much and is constantly in foul trouble. Yes he can get better but I think we all need to chill out on hyping him up so much. Boone is nearly averaging a double double as a starter and is the primary reason for our turn around since mid December. I don't want to hear fans even talk about removing him from the starting lineup. When Nenad is healthy they should bring him off the bench keep Boone starting. His hustle on the boards, defensive prowness and post play warrant the starting gig. Once again he is are best big man NOW.

 

[Black Republican]

I dont think injuries is an excuse,we need 2 stop relying on nenad like he's tim duncan or sumn.This team sux,period.

Getting Jermaine O'neal would cripple this team.

We'd have to give up RJ and Swat/Boone.

You want to take our only AVERAGE bench player and insert him into the starting lineup? We'd average like 80 points a game. No!
we are either making a minor trade involving Magliore, Marcus, Draft picks, Antione Wright etc. OR we are trading either Vince or RJ.

Well,i'd trade RJ and Sean/Boone for Oneal.

Collins + Magloire makes it work in matching up contracts. Just a question of if throwing in a pick would get the Kings interested in a trade. If Thorn had been able to pull up off a trade like that then he could have used the trade exception to get a shooter off the bench. With that trade exception gone it makes things a little more difficult now. And if not Miller than maybe even Moore could work. He filled in for an injured Krstic so well last season.

all we would need to give up is Rj and Marcus or maybe RJ and krstic. do you realize what having a decent big who can score in the post would do to this team? we'd still get to keep two of our three bigs.

 

[ghoti]

Somebody's got to YouTube that shot Antoine Wright took.

That was one of the worst shots I've ever seen.

I laughed as hard as that famous Adonal Foyle shot KC keeps posting.
