It's one of those days isn't it
... Might as well rename this NetsForce's Running Dialog Thread...
The Refs are protecting Dwight right now, Lopez is going straight at him but the refs keep swallowing their whistles... Boo...

I thought it was pretty funny how Gortat wanted no part of that loose ball when he saw T-Will go up to snag the rebound.
If Terrence could just develop a jumper... He'd be a beast.

I like how Humphries thinks he has a face-up game when he really doesn't...

I think we should sign the mayor of Newark to a ten day contract.

You know when most people say "if we can only secure the top 2 picks we'd be set"? Well... This game makes me want to say "how about the number 3 pick?". How about DeMarcus Cousins, can we give him some love?
If i have to summarize the whole Nets game in one word, it would be SCARED. Dwight's impact in the game is so powerful that even when he was not in the game, our whole team (and yes, even Lopez) acted like Dwight might still block their shot from the bench, and also the refs called this game differently because of Dwight.
On the other hand, Cousins might not have the same impact as Dwight because he is not a shot blocker but he can easily learn to become one. He is still raw, so there's plenty of room to develop a big man's skills. I like him not just because of his size but because he has no fear. He probably would end up fighting with Dwight even in his rookie season for being so physical. We need someone like Cousins and i proved it when Dwight manhandled Lopez on the rebounds, and im just talking about rebounds. Lopez is not the type to man the paint because i feel like he is not taking some things seriously, and by that means he is not trying to be physical when needs to be maybe because he feels like he's friends of them or he is afraid to get into a fight with them esp Dwight. And i noticed it again in this game before the game ended when he was trying to goofy and kinda like playing around with the ball with Dwight like a little kid. Mind you, he doesnt do this when he plays with other teams esp teams with no superstar, he usually throws a fit and exit the game.
If you really think about it, there's not many big man today that can match up with Dwight so drafting the fearless, big body Cousins will also be a success. He would be a great choice since i find the 2010 FA bigs mostly overrated anyways. I mean, who wants Amare who has 2 banged up knees? Do you guys really want Bosh who cant even win with his current team right now who i think is decent? Boozer? He has solidified himself in this league but i still think he's undersized. I probably would only consider Lee because he plays hard but still not tough enough and a bit soft like Lopez.
So at this time, i probably would draft big and sign SG/SF FA's.
Im sorry guys if i sound crazy and it's probably because of the frustration i feel for this team. Maybe it's time for me to pack up my stuff and leave and just come back sometime before the draft.
Im sorry if it's too long and some parts dont even belong in this thread. But It's 6:30 in the morning and before i sleep, i want eveybody to know how i feel just to release some stress. And for all those who are also suffering, i'd recommend to do the same thing and say what you want, whatever's on your mind. Trust me, it'll help.

The word fail with the Harris and Lopez, or something along those lines. Or maybe the whole team and just have the word fail across it like a stamp. Just some suggestions, your decision though.
