Gotta say, I'm real excited about this little 3 game stretch. If we can show up like we did against the Rockets we should go 3-0. I'm interested to see what KA does with his rotations now Lin is back as well. Gotta start strong against LA. They are playing their 3rd in 4 days and lost the previous 2 against poor teams. Come on, boys!

Play better transition and P&R defense, cut turnovers, and make better decisions. This will be a winnable game.
Most NBA stats aren't credible. At most times the people who interprets those data are biased, or the data themselves are flawed. Basketball is just too complicated with so many uncontrollable variables.

I'll be watching this one tonight. I've gotta say I've been extremely disenfranchised with the team this year... Hopefully a good performance will get me watching games again.

We're just putrid defensively, what the hell is going on?

+1000 for the Kuroko's basketball gifs.

Lopez needs to stop playing like a bitch. That 1 rebound performance disgusted me the other night

show some damn leadership. rebound. hustle. be assertive on offense. he lollygagged for the first two qtrs vs houston while Lin was out there busting his tail to keep this team in the game. that seriously pissed me off.

there is no reason why he should not lead the team in FGAs every damn night, and 1 rebound is a lack of effort and i seriously hope he got ripped by the staff for that.

This is a must win game. I know some people hate that term for a variety of reasons. But the Nets need to pick off every low-hanging fruit for morale, and for those who still think we have a beggar's chance at the playoffs, and for those of us (like me) who bet the over!

The Lakers are reeling, having lost 7 in a row, with losses to the Suns last Friday, to the Knicks on Sunday, and to the Kings on Monday. If the Nets lose at home, with Lin and Levert back, to a tired, beaten Lakers team, it says a lot about how bad we are.

what bothered me more then the lack of rebounds was the standing and watching.... first half... wish i could get videos for this stuff (working on it) he was at the foul line. shot went up from three, he stayed at the foul line, didnt move towards the rebound at all, rockets offensive rebound, shot from the baseline, lopez still hasnt moved.... another miss, lopez doesnt move, beverly gets it and scores.

like he didnt move for 2 shots and 2 rebounds.

OT, but I see that Nets ticket prices have risen lately on StubHub. Prior a week ago, Nets tix could be bad for under $20. Now I see the cheapest tix are over $50, what gives?

rockets were on a 6 game win streak and we almost beat them at home.... i use that for perspective with LA losing 7 in a row and us being at home.

We should win, but they have owned us recently and Russell always beats us. tough game. I agree these are all must win from a make the playoffs/beat the over perspective, im just not sure thats the teams real goal. or that losing this game really kills any chances of those things... which is what mus win really is.... especially for the "over" which is well within reach.

****PLACE YER BETS****

Latest spread i checked has the Nets as +1 'dogs at home

O/U is 228.


Lakers have been killing us lately, but Lin being back looks like its given the Nets a serious boost.

if you're a betting man or woman, do you touch this game? it's a straight pick em. :noway:
