Well, well....The tables have turned.

This is what I've been saying all season long, I don't care if these guys won 12 games, they played harder this season than any team wearing a Nets jersey has in almost a DECADE. That in itself makes me grateful for the front office, the coaches, and the players on this team regardless of how much they lack in talent and experience. These guys gave a rat's ass from October to April and as a fan that's all I ask.

Saying that this team took a step back is utterly stupid. We are headed in a positive direction for the first time in a long time and i am excited.

And Jimmy Butler knows that we play hard, we took the Bulls down to the wire twice in two straight games and beat them clean yesterday. This is what gets player's attention, teams that have competitors. Not teams with overpriced dogs who don't care.

Crazy games with Hawks and Cavs. Hawks came back from like a 25 points deficit to win in OT. the Cavs are not looking good this year and might hurt our chance for the #26 pick.

The combination of his quickness, size, IQ, defensive intensity and play-making is a perfect match for this system.

I want to say thank you to Marks. I was wrong about him and Yogi. Now I think he is the much better one.



Let's not forget the big games Skil had. I wouldn't go that far. I'd play by matchups and such. Skil can produce, but Dw handles the ball better and has better D. But Skil can be an explosive scorer when he gets hot.


I think Dinwiddie fits the team/system better.... i love skil and he is a local guy... but id like to see them sign and trade him... get him a nice 3/21 type contract and ship him off for a pair of future seconds. clears the roster spot, gets skil his money and probably a bigger role somewhere maybe even for a winning team.


yeah. if the Nets can get that guy paid, I'm all for it. Dinwiddie has really earned himself a spot next season. He competes on both ends.

All we need to get from Spencer is just for him to maintain confidence. I think it's 100% mental with Dinwiddie and not a question of talent.

I agree. months ago he would pump fake from three... be wide open for a shot or drive... take 2 dribbles and pass it out. havent seen that since.
