because we dont Try.

we dont have the will to win, we dont bring it 100% every night. only for like 15-20 minutes we bring it hard.

and lack of a post presence, and 3 pt shooters off the bench.

if you seriously think kidd is the reason they are below .500, not carter taking fadeaways and jacking up 3's, lack of team defense at times, and no inside scoring option, then you need to ban yourself. then register again. then ban yourself again. jason kidd has nothing to do with that team's problems.


Saying Kidd has nothing to do with the team's problems is just as foolish as saying VC has nothing to do with the team's problems. Good posters have already given detailed reasons why the Nets are not winning more but VC and Kidd as the leaders of this team definitely have something to do with the team's failures....

...I still say any Eastern Conference team outside of Boston / Detroit don't want to see the Nets if they make the playoffs...

I'm making assumptions based on WHAT I READ in their posts, which was false in many posts..

I know he's been injured, but the fact that they were depending on him to be their post presence IMO just says how pathetically weak they are in the paint.


Can I ask why you think this?

you need to run run run if Kidd is your PG and they just don't run enough. Kidd is an average half court PG and Carter is way past his prime. They aren't getting any better. Time to rebuild.

They're close to .500, I think this is a bit harsh

How do people even find these old threads...like are people really just searching keywords to find a thread to bump that will give them quick and 1s?? A nearly 16 year old thread bumped for no good reason ffs..

People have always hated on New Jersey, and by extension the Nets, because it's what their cool uncle who's only exposure to the state is Newark airport does.

You weren’t supposed to bump this until they lose to the Pistons at home
