<u>Nets' Keys to Victory</u>

Get the Offensive Going- Some of the main problems and reasons for 6 straight losses, have been offensive problems. We are unable to score at times, when we are desperate, and we rely on Carter too much. He is a great offensive player but he can't make every shot. That's why Krstic, RJ,Kidd or even bench players have to bring more offense.

Enough Mistakes Pt2- I have mentioned before that the Nets make to many mistakes, and that still doesn't change. We might give stupid fouls, and get unneccessary turnovers. All that needs to change, and the Nets need to mold back into an elite team.

How about a win guys?

Adams Is In The Game!

 

[NJNetz]

We really need to play Hassan more often. I really like what he brings.

 

[NJNetz]

Marcus and Mikki are really playing well together. Mostly due to Marcus.

 

[Fitch4Delk00]

Yea, I still think marcus is dribbling to much, Adams is playing well also, im glad collins got those early fouls so he could get some minutes

 

[thedude9990]

i hate collins hes a waste.

 

[NJNetz]

Here we go again....for the 7th time. Down by 12.

 

[thedude9990]

down by 1, adams is straight up ballin, anyways it sucks that we have so many wing players when house comes back its gunna be hard getting house, wright, adams, and williams time

 

[NJNetz]

Man, I love Adams. He needs a lot of minutes, he deserves it.

 

[thedude9990]

its about time, and its against the atlantic division leading celtics

anyways ill leave the stats up to kidd

 

[NJNetz]

Finally the Nets win a game. It wasn't exactly a beauty either. We had our problems in the second half, but Carter and the others really stepped it up in the 4th. Carter really got aggressive which is always a positive.

Let's hope this leads to more win.

And Hassan needs more mins. He's a great player

Always happy to provide them.

 

[Fitch4Delk00]

Yea Kidd set the tempo toward the end of the third, and at the start of the fourth the rest of the team followed. Maybe after this game Adams will get some more minutes and eventually start.

FINALLY! We actually won!

Over who? Unless Jefferson moves to PF, and Hassan plays SF, I don't see it happening.

carter playing sf.... i personally would liek it, cause collins isnt GOOD

 

[AMS_ICE]

I just don't think playing small is a good idea. We will get slaughtered by teams like San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Miami, etc. We have the 1,2,3 positions locked. We have to toughen up inside more.

We could play small seems popular lately, Collins doesnt bring anything but defense, and it hasnt been great lately. So I was thinking PG kidd sg vince sf RJ PF adams C kristic, but this is all theory because he has to continue to show he can keep playing the way he did to even get a chance.

 

[thedude9990]

why would you put adams at pf hes only 6-4 i believe

 

[Fitch4Delk00]

He played pf against the suns, and last night. There were no other bigmen in the game and the only time you see him getting any minutes is when collins or kristic is in foul trouble. He is around the same weight as RJ, and he plays well around the basket. It doesnt really matter you could put him at SF and RJ at PF. He seems to do good under the basket as well.

 

[Legacy]

A positive showing of Hassan Adams. He really played big during the stretch. He needs more minutes. The whole team played good and in the end we were the better teams. Thanks God we finally won.

Nets win! Nice.
