<font size="4">Nets Notes</font>
Well, we lost last time. Duns went off on us, and I am embarrassed.

Marcus: what happened? One game, you shoot 18 shots, and score 25 points.
The next game, you shoot 4 shots, and score 5 points. Let's hope he rebounds from this.

Josh Boone and Sean Williams, meanwhile, disappeared from this game.
What happened? Foul trouble for Sean of course, but why wasn't Boone successful?

Obviously, the youngins should be key to this game. If they can
step up like they did in Chicago, we have a MUCH better chance at a win.

Jefferson, Boki, Carter, and the Capital provided much of the scoring last night.
My guess is, if we have any chance at a win, we'll need that again.

By most accounts, Carter was not aggressive, didn't play much defensive,
and pretty much disappointing. Let's hope he steps his game up.

Key stats from last night: 22 turnovers, and we were outrebounded.
What that tells me: everyone on the court was responsible for this loss.
The big men need to work on rebounding, and the team needs to work on defense...
and the backcourt needs to work on taking care of the ball.

<font size="4">Injuries</font>

Devin Harris, sprained ankle

Jermaine O'neal, Bone bruise, left knee
Jamaal Tinsley, Sore left knee

<font size="4">Prediction</font>

We lost last night. Which sucks. We probably should've won. But, we didn't. Now, unless the youngsters step up (the Williams, Booney), I'm expecting another loss. Lame.</p> <font color="#0000ff">

haha that was my reaction too. Also the very first play in the Malik Allen "highlight" film is a layup?

 

[Jizzy]

To Stromile fans: Michelle Beadle said that Swift may still be out with that stomach flu, though he did practice with the team earlier today.

If he practiced then he should play but with our luck it won't happen.

These Pacers need to stop those 3-point attempts.

 

[Black Republican]

Lets go NETS

 

[RUstrong]

WHAT! That was a block!

 

[pegs]

pick and rolls are awesome.

And Marcus+our bigs are awesome at pick and rolls.

 

[RUstrong]

Krstic needs to be more defensively aware. He can't pay attention to more than one person..

 

[JCB]

Sean guarding Granger on the defensive end and doing a fine job.

 

[pegs]

Granger vs. Sean is an interesting matchup. I like it. Sean just played reallllly good defense on Danny, and made him miss..and also got the rebound.

We're throwing it down to Nenad alot, now. I like that.

 

[King John da FiF]

Pacers don't miss.

 

[King John da FiF]

Krstic should have dunked that sh!t

 

[RUstrong]

Granger is amazing... We could of had him. ARGH

You're right with that one. I mean, sure, he's doing pretty good on offense, but on defense, it looks pretty ugly.

Let's hope he gets in rhythm on defense, and actually defends some.

Holy shit, with these 3's!

I like Carter w/ the pass. Passes all around, and eventually we get it down low to Sean with an easy layup.

Damn, f'ed up the fast break! And then no rebound! Frustrating couple of plays, to say the least.

 

[JCB]

I'd like to see us use Vince out of the post more often instead of giving him the ball at the top of the key all the time. He usually works very well out of the post.

 

[pegs]

I'm not liking Darrell in the offense. He's not really doing anything.

Also, Boki needs to step up, and actually try to do something right.

On the other hand, Vince seems to be trying. That's good to see.

 

[NJNetz]

It sucks knowing Granger could've been on our team.l

 

[pegs]

This lineup sucks. With all the bigs we have, I'd like to see us take advantage of our size.

Who knows, tho, maybe this will turn out good.

Boki is REALLY sucking. PLEASE take him out!

 

[RUstrong]

Wow... Nachbar gets posterized.

 

[JCB]

Well that was horrible defense if I've ever seen it. Nice job team.

 

[AGGiE]

Frank is pissed.

 

[NJNetz]

Beautiful defensive play.


Check out Harrison staring down Nachbar. Let's remind him he's just a scrub.
