The 2009-10 New Jersey Nets Thread

[YanksFan1992]

The Nets lost out on Brandon Jennings due to a coinflip.

The Knicks lost out on Brandon Jennings because we're really freaking stupid.

I'd prefer to be in your situation.

[Joba-Walkee]

God I missed Devin. Love seeing him back.

[26 and counting]

0-13. The losing continues.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I gotta imagine Lawrence Frank is in a bit of trouble, no?

[Joba-Walkee]

Yep. Which is a real shame, because he is a fantastic coach. The Nets are a terribly run franchise though, so maybe it's good for him.

Brooklyn is looking good.

Good overview of the Brooklyn goings.

Do the Nets really have to play the Lakers tomorrow night? I mean, do they have any chance of winning and avoiding a tie for the worst start to a season in NBA history?

[Joba-Walkee]

Frank to be fired. I am jealous.

[ZYanksRule]

You've gotta feel for Lawrence Frank here. This is clearly not his fault, it's clearly nothing he did. Thorn didn't give him the horses to compete, and then forces him to take the hit for not competing. Sad ending for a quite decent coach.

He's been more than decent since his inception as the Nets head coach. Have you see the roster he's had to go to war with? Check out the 2005-2006 season. I have no idea how that roster won 49 games.

[26 and counting]

Nets down by 20+ vs the Lakers in the 4th, on their way to 0-17.

Great read on Coach Frank.

[dabomb2045]

I dont get how the Nets are THIS bad. I mean there is no way they should be 0-17....there is some talent on that roster. Hell, I'd take the Nets roster over the Knicks roster...thats for sure.

[DaSh 1s]

I'm extremely excited about the upcoming season. Yi supposedly looked great in FIBA competition, and actually played with a pair. CDR and TWill have been in the gym working on their shots all season. Brook's been working on post moves, asserting himself in the post, and, to speak of his work ethic, he's been doing defensive drills to work on his pick-and-roll defense, and defensive instincts. Bill Walton is open to mentoring and teaching Brook. Can you imagine that conversation? IMO, Walton is one of the best passing big men of all time, and if he can teach Brook just that, he's got a good chance for an all-star team a few years down the road. He's just a 20/10/3/3 waiting to happen, if he learns from Walton's passing ability.

A Harris, Lee, Williams, Yi, Lopez starting line up should be good defensively, if the offensive load doesn't kill Harris , Lee, and Lopez.

Can't wait for basketball season to start.

Can't wait for basketball season to end?

For the future, absolutely. Right now? No, I'd take the Knicks roster. They at least have some depth.

[Joba-Walkee]

Can't wait for basketball season to end?

No, because then I get to watch the ping-pong balls give the Nets the 4th pick.

[Brick Tamland]

0-17 is rough. Tough to believe they won't eclipse that mark with Dallas coming to town. Maybe they can beat Charlotte to stop the bleeding and go 1-18.

But at least the Nets have a pick coming to them after this season.

[Joba-Walkee]

Kiki is the new coach. I can't wait to see him get canned.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Any chance of the Nets beating Dallas tomorrow night? Any?

[Joba-Walkee]

Better question: How long will it take for Sean Williams / Josh Boone to foul out while trying to defend Dirk? If Sean is in, I'll put the over/under at 20 minutes.

[dabomb2045]

Any chance of the Nets beating Dallas tomorrow night? Any?

No. I just watched the 1st half....and....damn. Dallas scored 77 in the half, 49 alone in the 2nd quarter. They are shooting 80% from the field.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Will the Nets "beat" the 1972-73 76ers record of 9 wins?

[Snatch Catch]

I think they've got a great shot to begin digging themselves out this weekend.

[JDPNYY]

The attendance was over 11,000 tonight. How is that possible?

the opportunity to witness history and i'm sure freebies.

[hellonewman]

Congratulations New Jersey Nets.

[Brick Tamland]

A lot of blood sweat and tears but the Nets have finally climbed the mountain and stand alone in the record books.

[Joba-Walkee]

You can get free, lower level tickets for nearly every Wednesday game.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

The crowd reaction at the end there almost reminded me of how Sox fans would give Ortiz a standing O everytime he flew out to the warning track in May.

[TierReservedCreature]

I have no idea who any of the Nets players are, but one of them was actually doing a little dance on the sideline in the final seconds. Just a little over the top for celebrating your first win 19 games into the season.

It was Terrence Williams. It was his first win in the NBA. He wasn't celebrating himself, he had a crappy game, but he was celebrating the team. I loved seeing it.

Great, now the only player I don't have to force myself not to dislike on this team is Brook.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Wow.

He was jerkin...

Terrence Williams is a colorful character...

[b_joseph]

The Nets could sign Bosh, LBJ, and draft Wall #1

then sign and trade Devin Harris for a two guard like Joe
Johnson or Josh Howard

John Wall
Joe Johnson
LBJ
Bosh
Lopez (the good one)


Any questions??

Wow, it looks like Michael Kay is calling the Nets game today on YES.? And here I thought that things for NJ couldn't get any worse.

[SI Baseballman]

I'm surprised they didn't get John Sterling to do it, especially since he was the broadcaster for the Hawks back in the 80's, the team the Nets were playing against tonight.

[26 and counting]

The Nets gave up 130 points tonight, which might still be less than the Giants allow.

[Joba-Walkee]

New rock bottom. On the plus side, Brooklyn is pretty much a lock, and the Prokhorov looks like he is in.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I can't see this teaming beating the 9-73 all time worst record for one season.

[Joba-Walkee]

I can't see this teaming beating the 9-73 all time worst record for one season.

I can totally see it. Under Frank, maybe not. Under Kiki? We're a mess.

[wexy]

A snowed in night, Nets/Lakers . Life doesn't get much more exciting.

[Joba-Walkee]

The NEts are up in the third quarter. I say there's an 80% chance we lose by 20

[Joba-Walkee]

1 point off. So close.

[Joba-Walkee]

I don't see Brooklyn happening. Just don't.

http://www.netsdaily.com/?p=9531
It's happening.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

Eminent domain to make the rich richer. Shame on this country.

What a great location as well - I used to live right there, and every subway line goes through the Atlantic Center (10-15 mins outside Manhattan via subway, 5 minutes if traffic is good by car) , including express stops. It's a safe area, but parking is going to be a b*tch. I'm assuming they will also build some sort of multi-level parking garage over there as well.

If the Nets can't beat the T-Wolves at home, then who are they going to beat?

[Joba-Walkee]

If the Nets can't beat the T-Wolves at home, then who are they going to beat?

No one. Get used to it.

A lot of people are saying the Nets would have won if Lopez had played up to his usual level. I call BS; Yi, Lee, and Devin all played very well, and considering how those three usually suck, it totally outweighs Lopez doing poorly.

[Tommy1961]

This is the worst team the Nets have EVER had but i'm still a fan of them.

Thataway to Piscataway!!!!
