Re: Nets fans, unite!
That we'll never, ever, read anything again written by that moron that is Charley Rosen?"Why Renton? Why?"I hear you, people, I hear you. Well, because that dude is so damn negative everytime, it's not even funny anymore. I can't take him seriously anymore.After this quote I'm gonna post here, from an article he recently wrote on foxsports.com, I'm done with this guy:The guards: Jason Kidd has slowed noticeably since his knee surgery but remains a ferocious competitor. Because of his savvy and unselfishness, the Nets running game will remain a threat, if not the devastating weapon it once was. Eddie House is strictly a streak shooter. Marcus Williams is a talented rookie who will get a cram course in how to run an offense. Vince Carter would rather play one-on-one than ride the crest of a fast break. Too bad he's an erratic shooter, a reluctant (and poor) passer and, when the chips are down, a choker. Bostjan Nachbar is a career third-stringer who'll likely get more minutes than he deserves.The forwards: With Kidd's increasingly wobbly legs, Richard Jefferson has to do most of his scoring in half-court sets, where he's plagued with a suspect jumper and a penchant for turnovers. However, RJ is the team's best all-around defender. Behind Jefferson is the cold-shooting, mishandling efforts of young Antoine Wright. Jason Collins sets diligent screens, bangs with the bigs, is always in foul trouble, hits an occasional jumper and snags an occasional rebound. He's a classic backup who's been forced to play starter's minutes. Cliff Robinson can knock down treys and be in the right places at the right times. Mikki Moore is another career scrub whose forte is running and jumping.The centers: Nenad Krstic plays hard, knocks down mid-range jumpers, forcefully takes his right hand into the middle and enjoins the battle of the boards. Too bad he's prone to committing egregious fouls and his left hand remains woefully under-developed. Mile Ilic is a long-range project.The outlook: Despite J-Kidd's decline, Carter's disinclination and a short bench, Lawrence Frank's game plan calls for perpetual fast breaks. If the modus doesn't quite fit the operandi, the Nets are still the best of the worst. However, if they don't survive the second round of the playoffs, it'll be time to back up the truck and make wholesale roster changes.Charley Rosen: you must be the worst sportswriter out there.
