Nets Crowd Getting Angry at Twin

[rory]

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere (didn't see any blurbs about it on NetsDaily), but Twin was loudly booed twice last night. The first was when he first checked into the game for Sean Williams. The next was when he was shooting his free throws after the flagrant.

Now, I've been going to Nets games since 95, and saw much worse teams. But I've NEVER seen a player on the Nets booed before even doing anything. I've seen players booed for missing free throws or shots. I've seen players booed because they demanded a trade or talked bad about management.

But Twin was booed for just CHECKING IN. And, after he had just been flagrant fouled, the crowd booed him AS HE WENT TO THE LINE. It was so bad, Vince Carter was gesturing to the crowd to stop the boos.

Sadly, I don't see anyway light at the end of the tunnel. It's not like he's capable of having a great game that will make everyone forgive him. And with his contract, I doubt he'll be able to get traded.

I found it very surprising - I know Twin gets a lot of hate here (I'm not a fan either), but I just take this board's opinion as that of the very hardcore and dedicated fan. But, it is clear that the majority of the fan base has now turned on him.

That's because most of the fans in the seats are even less intelligent than you Carter homers. All you people know is box scores.

Pathetic.

I would never boo Collins because he does play hard and he's a good guy from what it seems...however I would question the coach. Lawrence Frank has been going on and on about the little things for years and basically hugging Collin's nutsack at all times so it's no wonder that fans take out there anger on Collins when its mostly due to Frank's mismanagement of the team.

Ya. It's not like Collins quits on the team. He actually tries. It's not his fault he's not that talented, and that our front office sucks at bringing in good frontcourt players...and that Frank sucks at giving any new frontcourt player a chance.

Besides, if it weren't for Collins, we wouldn't have those great backdoor-cut alley-oops, like the one we saw last night! Gotta give him props for that.

maybe the boo's will motivate twin to fix his jumper. at least when he came in the league he could hit a jumper and his free throws, but ever since he kept getting bigger hes gotten worse. he slims down but hes just not the same and its annoying and frustrating.

but twin is a bright spot. now kids can know that even if you cant shoot, cant make a layup, cant dunk or cant rebound as long as you box out, commit hard fouls, set good screens and be the coaches buddy you too can make millions and millions and millions of dollars in the nba.

Not as pathetic as you may think. His inability to do anything at all on offense negates any intangibles he provides on the defensive end. He's gotten progressively worse on the offensive side of the ball every year he's been in the league, and it's gotten to a point where the Nets have been playing 4 vs. 5 on offense for the past three years. I love what he brings on the defensive side of the ball, but even his defensive effectiveness is quickly becoming insignificant with how athletic the league is becoming. I've always supported Collins, and while I don't think he deserves to be booed by any means, he definitely does not deserve the praise that some people give him. At least not anymore, he doesn't.

can we just please shut the hell up with this already? he's not as valuable as you think, Thorn has been trying to move him ever since he was signed, w have tried for three offseaosn now to find a big who can replace him and now we have Boone who has. He sucks, plain and simple. he cant grab rebounds, and on the offensive end, NOBODY guards him and they close the paint on VC and RJ. As much as he does "the little things", he makes life harder for VC, RJ and Kidd on the offensive end so it's a catch 22, he puts to much pressure on RJ and VC offensive while helps them defensively.

it's like when you're playing a pickup game at the recreation center if someone on your team is sucking as bad as Collins does, you tell him to sit down and you have to wait.

his defense has bene horrible this season. Pau Gasol, Shaq, Yao,..boys who he has locked up in previous years all have had good game against him. that gives him no excuse.

agreed, and to go along with what jizzy just said, he is even becoming less effective on the defensive end.
I dont like that he gets booed, but if a move were made to trade him, I wouldnt complain.

 

[downunderwonder]

If he stops getting worse, the booing will stop. He has become a far worse player in the last two seasons. Plus I remember him occasionally calling for the ball during the Kmart era. Now he sort of just wanders around waiting for a score or a turnover. If the 2004 model on Collins comes back, Id be a much happier man.

 

[jtballa2o1]

Oh i have no pics, i was standing outside for autographs last night and when Collins drove by (which is weird because he usually stops for autographs, dman those ppl who boo him) I saw in the paasenger seat a hot blonde lol

 

[Jizzy]

lol he's dating a white chick. figures

You can't tell me you would feel secure with him calling for the ball. He can barely make an open layup; its scary to think of what he will do in the post.

I do wish he could get his set shot back. At least have one weapon.

Man Collins averaged 6,6, and almost 1 in the 04-05 season, why cant he got back too that??????????

look at Collins when he first entered the leaguel. dude was bulky but was mobile. he would even make some cuts to the basket. his first NBA start, my man posts 18/14.

IMO, the knee injuries have caused him to put on to much weight and he has lost ALL mobility. he's had like two knee surgeries and he probably hasnt gained weight from rehab.
