But really, what has happened to the Nets? It seems like they need to try a new direction. They have tons of talent on that team (any team with Kidd/Carter/RJ is playoff bound already), but maybe they have given up on the coach?
Hopefully the rest of the season will go better for you. Good luck.

What bothers me is that the worse is yet to come... The Nets play Miami soon and when they lose to them... Holy fudge... **** is going to fly...
The Nets are something like the 5th worst team in point differential and the third worst offensive team in terms of PPG... If anything I think the Nets may be overachieving and not underachieving right now...
Anyway... The 14'ers are taking on the division leading Austin Toros today and tomorrow, if they can win both of those games they'll be something like half a game behind the Toros for first in the division.
The game should be good Elton Brown and Kaniel Dickens have been balling (Gill has been solid as well), but the Toros have a pretty good team themselves lead by Ian Mahinmi (18.4 ppg 7.7 rpg 1.63 spg 1.32 bpg) and Keith Langford (24 ppg)... They also have DerMarr Johnson and Marcus Williams who have both been performing at a pretty high level. Man... Don't let me down 14'ers, the Nets have but you guys can still make this a good week.

Simply written, the Nets got SCHOOLED.
It was fun watching the Kings at full strength. Excellent passing, intensity, shooting. Excellent bench. The Kings 3 guys off the bench -- Garcia, Salmons, Udrich all would be starting on many NBA teams. I wouldn't mind seeing more of them, I hope they make a playoff run.
The Nets where ragdolls, out of position all night and the Kings made us pay nearly every time.
It's a joke (I actually LOL'd) when 4 Nets rushed the ball after a pass to an open shooter on the perimeter (like some highschool team), leaving 4 Kings open, and the King player just dropped it inside to the basket for an easy lay in. I'm not going to point out which Nets where most at fault for the bad defense ... because everyone was.
