Yeah they wait until after the game to come post here. If they felt so confident about their team then why werent they posting before the game?
The Knicks had a red hot first quarter. There is a handful of games where every team gets hot for a short stretch. This was one of them for the Knicks.
Joe Johnson is a big reason why we lost. I dont know why we had him on Melo instead of RHJ. RHJ had a bad game for him but Joe wasnt even trying to stop Melo. Melo had a number of looks where he took a running start into his shot. You cant let him get his rhythm going into his shot like that but Joe did most of the night. On offense, Joe is like watching a 50 year old guy at the Y play. I cant remember seeing a slower player on the Nets who was constantly trying to play like a fast player. Joe turns 3 on 1 fast breaks into half court possessions. He wrestles guys on his dribble drives and easily gets double teamed. On the rare plays the Nets get ball movement on the offensive end, Joe is a black hole. He turns down wide open catch and shoot opportunities in order to do his half azz ISOs. You would think he should know that he is our main 3pt shooting threat out there. Especially in a game like this one, he should know that we are going to need to keep up on the 3s to stay in the game.
Joe has played in 19 games this year and has only shot 50% 4 times. He has shot 40% or less 13 times !!!!!!!Finding a wing who can score is one of the easiest things to do in the NBA. We should just buy Joe out of his final year and let him go be the 12th man on some contender. There has to be some SF or SG who can score in the D-League. Keeping Joe at 34.5 minutes a game serves no purpose for this team. If we arent going to win then we might as well audition a younger player at SF. Bogs has played poorly but he should be getting Joe's minutes with the starters to see what we have with him.
It's frustrating because we are getting production from every other position. RHJ has solidified the SG position and the role of wing defender. Jack and Larkin have been giving us the advantage at PG most nights. Our frontcourt looks like one of the best in the NBA with Lopez and Thad playing at an all star level and now getting Reed back so T-Rob can play PF. We have one gigantic weak spot, a scoring wing. it's beyond frustrating.
