Official Game Thread: Nets 92 Jazz 103 Final

I like Rod Thorne,and I like Frank mainly because he seems like a great guy.But Frank has to be let go.He has been blessed with Kidd,Carter,Harris and to a lesser extent Jefferson on his teams because those guys won games for him,not his coaching.

I am disgusted so much right now I can't even bring myself to watch the 1st quarter of the Nets replay.

I like this kid already. We Filipinos know our basketball

Hi there. Are you a Filipino also?

VC is crazy popular in the Philippines. I just wish I can watch these games more so I can trash Frank along with everyone. For now, I'll have to take everyone's word for it.

Yes he's still popular but unfortunately, not as popular as he used to be especially when the likes of Lebron and Wade came into the league.

Yeah I'm Filipino.

And VCRJKidd, I think we're probably going to see that most of the season, simply because that's how this team was built. It was built around Devin/VC's dribble penetration and shooters to surround them. If those guys aren't making their shots, it's going to be a tough game.

The Mini-Fundamental needs more touches in the post.

it seems like ur coach is trying to lose but somehow the team on some occasions find a way to win.

its insane when you could probably look at it that way...

this was a complete meltdown...what a disaster...its tough as a fan when you see your team play at such a high level in the 1st qtr and then lose its composure AT HOME...its like we're more comfortable on the road...like Ian said, losing home record = sub 500 season...minus frank, we're witnessing big time gowing pains...but you'd wish the coach could add some glue when its obvious things are falling apart on the court...

Jazz fan here.

The most important match up in this game was coaching and Sloan showed why he's been in the league for 20+ years.

He benched Deron Williams, CJ Miles and Ronnie Brewer for the entire second quarter in a blow out, that's a pretty ballsy move and when he brought Deron back in to start the second half the Jazz took over the game.

Frank got out coached plain and simple.

out coached my ass. the Players on the court where just sucking ass out there missing just about every open shot they had.

I am done arguing my perspective on this team.

I have said, including in this thread the reason this team should have about 17 wins right now.

We are going to have to agree to disagree.

By the way, I am not scapegoating Opie.
Anyone who knows anythinng about organized basketball knows he is personally responsible for most of the losses in which we had late double digit leads and games we gave up in the 4th.
This has happened for years now with this team and the lieneups have like 2 people left on it from those past teams.
Most of the wins we have aren't even from good coaching, they are just from our players playing their hearts out on those nights.
