I have 0 faith for this team to show up. i expect the same as the last several "must win" games

- early lead after 1, 5-10 points
- close at halftime or lead relinquised
- destroyed second half, 15-30 point blowout loss

"we battled" - Lionel Avery
"im not sure how we turn it around but we have to" - Joe Judas
"the confidence just isnt there" - Dawgron williams
"well, you know, umm yeah its like you know" - brooke
"I like our talent and i like our chances to win 10 titles in a row no changes are needed" - Billy King

The thing I dont get is everyone sees this.

Why doesnt Hollins see it? Isnt he watching the same games we are?

1) I am ok with Jack subbing in for DWill with 3-4 mins left in the 1st Q and letting jack play to start the 2nd Q. Dwill should be inserted back into the lineup earlier in the 2nd Q to play with the Second Unit. Dwill, AA, Bogs, CJ, Plumlee would be an interesting team to watch run up and down the court.

2) Why isnt CJ coming in for Thad when Thad sits? I dont care if it is only for 10 mins, but CJ should be replacing Thad in the lineup. NOT JJ at PF. That makes NO sense.

3) I dont understand why Bogs comes in for Brown. I understand why Hollins thinks Bogs is a SG, but I dont understand why would you take out one of your best perimeter defenders to put in MORE offense. Offense isnt the issue with the starting lineup.

id like to see more CJ. we have no rebounding and he is one of the few guys we have who rebounds. other then that i cant really see any of those other things making a difference. We dont have a defender really to replace markel with. thats probably why he goes to bogs, cause their really isnt an alternative other then AA who comes in for joe anyhow.

either way, its all irrelevant unless the fraudulent 3 play well. that like never happens, at best one of them does and the other 2 dont completely suck

This pattern has been going on well before Lionel Hollins started coaching this mess.

And I agree. More CJ plz.

Good luck, hope to see a good game. Al Jefferson is playing at well under 100%, so he's going to be a total liability, so you've got that going for you. We are extremely good at coming out flat in important games.

good to know...

on the flip side Deron, Joe, Bogs, Jack, anderson, Plumlee, Lopez, and thad are all operating under 50% :banghead:

You guys beat us half to death the last time we played. I expect another pounding to happen tonight

Both teams really suck so this should be great, close game!

Shark · Post #13 » by **Shark** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 10:33 pm

Both teams suck, the Nets just happen to suck more.

Thad as the main PF is killing me. His defense sucks and his offense doesn't make up for it. Screw the Sixers for stealing Thomas Robinson.

Come on man, Lopez was hammered there, that's a 4 point swing, thanks refs

matnautico · Post #16 » by **matnautico** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 11:35 pm

Here comes Plumlee, so some scrub backup center will score 20 or so points in a row

matnautico · Post #17 » by **matnautico** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 11:41 pm

Young-Plumlee might provide the worst interior defense in the whole league.

jeff1624 · Post #18 » by **jeff1624** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 11:55 pm

I thought Markel started the game really well... why didn't he play again after getting yanked midway through the first?

Paradise · Post #19 » by **Paradise** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 12:14 am

Deron is 1/6 and Joe is 1/5...again

jeff1624 · Post #20 » by **jeff1624** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 12:24 am

Brook is the only player worth a damn on this team. It's gonna be sad to watch him walk this summer and see Plumlee ( :rolleyes:

) become this teams stating center.
