Ryan. Either his defense is underrated or I overrate him... dunno.
Trenton Hassel was huge also. Ever since Phoenix game he's a revelation for me.
 
It's a tough choice. Harris sparked the comeback in the 4th and had an overall great quarter but played horrible basketball in quarters 1-3. Hassell played great defense, grabbed some very important rebounds and hit his open jumpers. But Anderson played a great game the whole night, hitting a few threes, grabbing rebounds, playing solid defense most of the time and hitting free throws in the clutch. Without Anderson and Hassell we wouldn't even be in a situation from which Harris could have caused a comeback.
 
Should the Nets make Ryan a starter and move Yi to the bench?

No. Ryan has been playing well off the bench, no need to change his role IMO. If Yi plays like crap, Ryan can come off the bench to replace him. We need him in our 2nd unit, which is struggling as it is. However, if Yi continues to play horrid basketball there really would be no other choice, other than starting Boone with Lopez.

Why not give Anderson a shot in the starting line up like Lopez and see if he excels as a starter? Give him a game or two as a starter. Maybe Yi will benefit coming off the bench as well, won't have to defend starting PF's as much coming off the bench.
 
Ryan played great! I love our draft picks, though I'm still waiting on CDR to show me something when he gets back.
 
I voted Devin. He was the one who got the Nets to rally back with his hard drives in the 4th quarter. Also good solid game
 
If Ryan doesn't win it this game, why not just admit that he will never have a chance, and take his name off future polls.
 
well at least we know what kind of numbers Ryan Anderson can give when he gets starter type of minutes. 21 pts in 33 minutes with 9 boards and a couple of steals. Nice Job Ryan Anderson, and i guess this puts to rest any notion that he may be hitting the rookie wall.....
 
Only one game, but this was a good one in big minutes. he's had a few good games this season but also some very inconsistant ones. He's a rookie, he'll get better and more consistant. (knock on wood) If the Nets were a better team i'd say he's not ready to be considered a starter, but we'r not. Our PF position is almost as bad as small forward for most of the season with Yi starting (who may be more inconsistant then RA with a larger amount of minutes, sigh) That being said i think he could be a starter. While yi is the better shooter RA is the better all around player.

Yi needs to do something because damn, he's a frustrating player to watch out there. If he's not shooting well he offers absolutly nothing to the team. Bad def. all around, stupid fouls that arent even strong and result in alot of and 1's, turnovers. (not a yi hater, and i do in fact root for him.)
 
Yi has been playing poor. Anderson was great tonight and helped the Nets win. He had a shaky start, but ended strong. Refs put Yi on a short leash. I say start Anderson, put the rookie in the fire. I did find it funny how pissed the Raptors commentators were that Yi had more votes than Bosh, what a slap in the face, it was beautiful.

Fans are bored. Yi is getting dull to watch. Yi's drama is bigger than him. Personally, I don't think Anderson is ready to start either. Maybe we can trade for a forward and have Yi come off the bench. Is it me, or Lopez can't see his teammates off a double team.
 
I like Mr.Anderson off the bench. Yi has got to get more consistent. I would love to see him stay in Jersey in the off-season and work on his game(Especially work on his defense).

Same here. Brook isn't experienced enough to recognize double team and act fast (get rid of the ball). Every time he gets double-teamed, I'm like "Damn, he's gonna lose it" and he does. But he'll learn it. That's not something you should spend too much time on :) So far Brook is a real force on the D as well as a threat on offense. I wish his shooting % was higher, but, he'll get it when he polishes his jumper and the hook shot.

If matchup allows, get Mr. Anderson on to the floor a little more often when BroLo is on the floor... they definitely seem to feed off each other and it leads to more "pumpatude" Yes, for you old cats, as in Hanz and Franz! Psst. I think we found the new nickname.... for both... it's a dynamic duo nickname. Hanz and Franz... hmmm.
But seriously, get the 2 on the floor together more often, it just smells good.

I actually think that one of the things that's messed us up the last few losses is the changes in rotation due to injuries and now guys coming back. Hayes was playing great, and the second unit had good chemisry. The three guard rotation was working well, with Dooling subbing for Harris, then staying in when Harris came back in and Vince sat.

When the team got on a roll and won some games in a row, everyone knew when they were going in...and who was likely to be on the floor with them.

So I say, experiment with caution.
 
I always feel that vince carter is the player of the game. They wouldn't have a chance if it wasn't for him.
