Some Observations

[Dark Defender]

- Josh Boone seems to have fallen off the rotation completely. I hope he works his way back in, he was horrible though.</p>

- Wright is eating up a lot of Boki's minutes, rightfully so. Boki didn't come in until the 2nd quarter today.</p>

- Malik Allen and Magloire are going back and forth in minutes. I'm guessing its depending on the match up.</p>

- Krstic is not ready for prime time. Hes getting there but I don't feel comfortable having him out there starting.</p>

</p>

As the Nets were heading towards the locker room, I caught a glance of Boone's face. He was clearly upset, but what do you expect? If you can'y contribute, you shouldn't be given minutes.</p>

 

[soul driver]

I see Boone getting more playing time when Marcus comes back, those two are exciting together. Marcus + Boone + Sean...wow! anyway, Kidd in complete control again. another show stopping play with the pass from the announce table to RJ for the dunk. Really glad to see Wright consitantly awesome, and RJ too.

I hope you mean "can't" instead of "can" lol.</p>

</p>

Im surprised Sean didnt play tonight. I thought he would match up well against the Hawks.</p>

</p>

Thanks for pointing that out.</p>

I think Coach Frank feels that it's still a bit risky to put in Sean Williams, mainly because the score was close throughout most of the game. I would have liked to see him play, but safety first. </p>

</p>

</p>

 

[Real]

I see Boone getting playing time if Magloire, Collins, Allen,or Krstic go down.</p>

 

[GMJ]

Yeah I want the rookie to get experience, but not in these close games. Thats when you want your veterans and your best players out there.</p>

 

[Bullitt245]

I missed the game tonight, but Frank's idea of not starting rookies doesn't make much sense. Sean Williams will be able to contribute if he actually gets game experience. We have enough vets around him to carry us as the rookie gets acclimated.</p>

Kristic is still very young. He's been in the league for a while so people forget that. He's going to be big time for us eventually.</p>

 

[Bullitt245]

By the way gmjigga, the avvy and sig look awesome.... thanks again!</p>

 

[SportsTicker]

Frank used a smaller, athletic, good shooting lineup against the Hawks. It worked. The Nets won, beating them by more than the Piston did two nights ago. I can't care about Boone if he can't contribute. Right now, small ball is working nicely. The Nets outrebounded a team with a lot of young, athletic bigs, shut down Joe Johnson for most of the game and won.</p>

</p>

Yeah, I noticed that, and was pleasantly surprised. Seems as if the defense was great...but Vince was still off. Great to see Jefferson, Wright, and Kidd playing great as usual, tho.</p>

 

[jarkid]

Frank should use Sean more, if he has used Wright well, then Wright always being better now.</p>

 

[jarkid]

Another observation:</p>

- Magloire could pass the ball in the low-post, he is not the guy that many people think he doesn't pass.</p>

I noticed that too, Jarkid.</p>

</div></p>

Still seems Boki hasn't recovered from whatever was bothering him in the playoffs last year. He looked a lot better in preseason, but you have to do it when the games count. Hopefully he just needs to hit an open shot or two to get going again. Nachbar has to be one of the guys that picks it up and hits some shots, especially if Carter is struggling.</p>

</p>

 

[Universe]

- Though Vince's lack on offense, he has been great on the defensive side. Look at the opposing gaurd and does not score that much to under what he puts in.</p>

 

[jarkid]

Carter did very well on the defensive ends.</p>

 

[Jizzy]

Boone sucks.</p>

 

[xcalibur]

boone's problem is that his hands have been horrible. any pass that came close to him he just couldnt hold onto and with us having a couple of veterans on this team he cannot make those mistakes consistantly.</p>

</div></p>

</p>

</p>

Plus he's weak, gets outrebounded, can't pass, soft, can't finish unless he's WIDE open.</p>

 

[cpawfan]

Shouldn't Dumpy be here defending Boone?</p>

 

[Kidd Karma]

What were the wing matchups last night. JJ, Marvin, Josh Smith, Childress.</p>

 

[Dumpy]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (cpawfan)</div><div class='quotemain'></p>

Shouldn't Dumpy be here defending Boone?</p>

</div></p>

</p>

why? He has played poorly. No worse than Magloire, Malik Allen, or Krstic, though.</p>

 

[Teaneck_Armory_Guy]

How poorly can you play if you don't play long enough to work up a sweat? It takes more minutes than this to tell.</p>

The guy could be a boom, boone or bust but he's shown enough to get a shot ... if not here maybe in a coupla years somewhere else. He's a good rebounder, limited offensively but gets a high percentage and I'm betting that down the line he'll do pretty well.</p>

(and look, in spite of my signature, don't nobody think I'm the second coming of Numero Uno Boone Fanny .. I've just been rooting for him since last year and think he could contribute. But now there's a frontcourt logjam to contend with. oh well. nice problem to have.)</p>

Someone else used the phrase, btw, "big by committee" I like. Boonie will be one of the pieces if there's a Real Big Guy smiling down on Nets fans.</p>

Boone always looks acid trip induced. He need show more passion and energy on the court.</p>

Or Lawrence Frank won't even give him any minutes.</p>
