Post Knicks Thoughts...

[JRon]

- Brooke Lopez.....WOW! There was more evidence of tough, active veteran play than mistake and disappearance style usually accustomed to Rookies.
- This coupled with yet another clueless performance by Sean William makes me think, we might want to consider a package with he and KVH or Hassel to get something while we still can(I know it's early, but he looked out of his league in there)
- Again, I know it's early, but I need to see Devin Harris not being a net-sum-zero player. For every good thing he did, I saw something terrible.
- I love how every one competed, nobody dropped heads when we were down by almost 20. Everyone fought back...key for this league.
- One more, time....Brooke Lopez...WOW!

Brook for ROY!

I think the Nets should send Williams to the D League. They have enough bigs that he isn't needed right now. He needs a lot of coaching and game experience. It's better than having him sit on the bench here.

I'm a bit concerned about Devin's defense. Defensively I'm seeing the Devin that we saw at the end of the regular season... maybe even a little worse. He can't keep his man in front of him.

I thought he was going to refocus on that end of the floor? I don't want to see him pulling an RJ where he feels he needs to step up the offense and help out Carter at the expense of his D. Offense will come as a team.

 

[SUPERB]

When hodge goes the basket he is great! He played his game and looked like a young odom out there.

Doesnt seem to be that great of a ball handler though but he has some tools in the bag.

He should make the team over ager and gill. Gill is terrible.

Yi has some of the worst defense i have ever seen on the nets floor. He got lopez 2 fouls for not guarding his rotation properly.

Boone and lopez should start imo. Boone at the pf.

Boone and lopez should start imo. Boone at the pf.

I agree, but this would be unpopular.

and

Lopez is a natural closer, always seems to turn another gear in the fourth.

CDR will need some time.

Hodge over Ager fer sure.

Sean to d-league = good idea.

Bobby Simmons might be better all around than Nachbar.

Yi needs time to develop.

Ryan will be real good maybe some double doubles out of him this season.

We need Najara, Hayes, and Dooling.

Trade comming soon...

HMM... i wonder which trade though... and even though Yi was off last nite... he was still aggressive which i like... he didnt shy away from driving or postin up... a lot of other players will disappear if there off

I think Lopez and Boone should both play the 5 and be paired with quicker 4s who can shoot with range and dribble. That means Yi, Anderson, and Najera (to some extent). It allows for best interchangeability of parts without having to alter the offense drastically and best floor spacing.

Obviously the exception to this is if you play Sean, and he should probably play the 5 offensively and be paired only with Yi or Anderson.
