Harris has such butter fingers in the last minute of games for some reason.

^I think it's that he doesn't respond to pressure well. He gets too jittery. Hopefully that'll stop, like, soon.

Perk isn't a great free throw shooter...

Ah, they had a foul to give.

The ref swallowed his whistle.

well that fell apart quickly

good move by VC but he needs to elevate with his shoulder in to the guy, not straight up. That's why he doesn't get the calls

Why not go to the guy thats 5-8 from 3 in the game when you need a three there?

whatever, that was a disappointing last minute to say the least.

Most definitely,while the Nets made their mistakes,Coach Frank doesnt help this team win games at all.Harris needs to learn how to stop chucking and pass the ball to the man on fire and Lopez.

I really wished VC were the one to take that last shot. But oh well it was a good game the Nets fought it out and almost managed to steal it. Hopefully next season Frank would again restructure the offense.

There's no need for Harris to be shooting this many shots. I've never been a fan of "score first" pgs. Not to mention Lopez getting completely ignored on the offensive end. Oh well, it's all good he's a rook after all..I only hope Frank does try to make him a focal part of the offense next season.

im very comfortable with harris taking the last shot, iv'e been the biggest VC fan for the longest time but he's not the same, the only reason i became a net fan was to follow vc, but his time is over, his %'s are down, he can barely turn the corner on a double and did i mention harris all the way.

he is only chucking because no one else can create a shot for themselves and when the man is wideopen then he knows to pass and we hit our threes most of the time, i fully trust harris and dont really care for the 3 vc made in pierces face(overdue)

34 today, 7 tomorrow, sad to say but please no negativity towards harris, he keeps us in games and we win by him and die by him, with vc it would mostly be die and die.

the likelihood of harris getting blocked driving into the paint vs VC is alot higher, VC is bigger and stronger as well and more likely to get the and1, in the halfcourt VC is a better scorer. if you're talking about a mid range jumpshot now for the win, thats different.

Another OPIE lose

Hayes has been great for us this year, but what was Frank thinking.

That interview when a reporter asked him about CDR and Hassell. I am paraphrasing "Hassell Is more of a Defensive player...."

Where was Hassel?

WHAT IS THE FASCINATION with SMALL BALL???
Big Baby, Perkins and Powe is MAN HANDLING our players and this IDIOT still continues to play SMALL BALL. Damn, Boone sucks but PUT him in and TELL him PUSH those GUYS around and YOU HAVE a spot on the rotation. I dont care if he got fouls. GIVE HIM AN IDENTITY. NETS BRUISER!!!

Perfect time to put SWAT and LOPEZ on the court sometime during the game. HE plays DOOLING and HARRIS at the same time. NO EXCUSE of SWAT being the BACKUP C and Cant do it.

MESSAGE TO FRANK.

YOUR PG IS CHUCKING. WHAT DO YOU DO?

KG37 · Post #52 » by **KG37** » Thu Mar 5, 2009 7:42 pm

Completely agree, I was asking for Hassell the entire time. Jarvis Hayes made a huge shot when they needed him, but why was he guarding Pierce at the end of the game? Either that, or at least throw a double team at him, dude was like 12-13 from the field at the time.

Also, what's up with the constant passing to Sean Williams in the post? It doesn't make any sense to me. I haven't seen anything positive come out of that. They even ran that play in CLUTCH TIME of the New Orleans game, and he obviously missed the shot. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Also, Harris needs to stop chucking. I realize how great of a player he is, but his shot selection needs a lot of work. I'm getting tired of his runners and pull up 3s in transition. He shouldn't be shooting 3s off the dribble other than once a game IMO.

Hpoefully next season Frank will be working in a different state as an assistant coach.

aussienet · Post #55 » by **aussienet** » Thu Mar 5, 2009 10:21 pm

If VC would play like that more consistantly we we would win a hell of a lot more games.
DH shooting way too much but still had double figure assists.

Frank needs to go. His idiotic sub patterns are killing us. If he has a directive from above to lose games and get us into the lottery Sweet then give the ball to the kids and let them play. DH andVC will always get there's.

Cheers

I dont see why you think it is disturbing. He has done it every year he has been the coach. Why do you think he has 82 different starting lineups in a season and the team always ends up with near to .500 every year.

20 seconds to go, let's do this!

a lot of questions were brought up here, that once again I couldnt answer...

we were there in the end...Pierce was making shots w/ a hand in their face all night...Ray hit a well contested 3...

Lopez needed more shots...thats my biggest gripe w. Frank...Perkins played him tough on the boards...but Lopez really didnt get a chance to test anyone in the paint...
