Hey Serpo, did you know that I can predict the future?

Here is a few examples of how Idiot Marcus will defend Travis Diener tonight, straight from the mind of Mr "THE SWAMI" Dollar Bills:

OLE!!!!!!!!!!

ARIBBAAAAAA!!!!

I found it hilarious.

Surprised marcus played so well. I only ended up catching mid 3rd - 4th quarter due to work but saw all the highlights.

Hopefully he can play like this and not try and take all the shots.

We won when a PG showed up. Who would of thought.

"The NachNastyBars V1"
- The red represents killing intent.
- The dark blue represents cold blooded killerness.

I am a genius.

P.S. --> SPAM
P.S.S. --> Marcus was really impressive tonight, not just with his assists but on defense he was really moving well he even forced that big oaf Troy Murphy into a couple of missed shots when Murphs tried to post him up.

Okay back to my paper...

Good win tonight. Again its up to RJ and Vince to both have good games. RJ being aggressive going to the hoop (10 ftms) and Vince looking for his own and creating for his teammates (5 assists). Boone was great tonight. Seems like whenever they get him going a bit, he continues to stay aggressive and gain confidence the rest of the game. And who would have thought he would go 5-5 at the line. Marcus was phenomenal tonight. Stayed in control for most of the game and picked his spots to attack. Big thing for Marcus is 13 assists to only 2 turnovers. Lets see if he can continue to play like this.

Aiite now that the sugar rush has left my system... Am I the only one who likes Trenton Hassell's play?

I don't agree with playing him at power forward as much as Frank seems to be playing him, but he plays hard and still appears to be a very good defender. His offense will probably come and go, but defensively I love what he brings.

I have been singing Hassel's praises since the Bulls game...what he brings to the floor has been missing from the Nets for a long time. I don't agree with him playing power forward, but what can you say, the coach is a drooling (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

I didn't get the chance to see this game but :clap:

to Idiot Marcus for making me eat my words...defense and playmaking

who woulda thunk it!?? He needs to show some consistency so i can stop calling him "Idiot" Marcus :rofl:

From looking at the stats, RJ continues to be on the attack, which is great, and Half Man/Half whatever you wanna call him tonight played the efficient game that he needs to play every night. I don't mind the fact that RJ leads the team in scoring, i think its great actually since you've had morons saying for years that RJ is nothing without Kidd :crazy:

Vince just needs to facilitate and attack when the team needs him. *sigh* a work in progress

BIG JOSH!!! :clap:

where are the Boone Haters!! Why did Diop and Krstic get so little minutes? Is it safe to assume poor Sean has hit the rookie wall? He has to fight through it.

Sexy win.

-Another 30+ game for RJ who once again showed everyone he was snubbed from this year's all star game.

-Great game from Vince the team is that much better when he plays well.

-The team has been playing well latley(if you ignore the previous Pacers game), the team looks that much better without Kidd there's no pressure and Vince is playing with more aggresivness.

-Marcus HAS to find some level of consistensy on a good night (vs Chicago/this game) he plays like a top 10 PG on a bad night he just flat out sucks, his D was good tonight as well.

-Boki was playing well.

props to Boone...I was worried about him but nice bounce back game. 5-5 Ft line incl some down the stretch. wut ?

good bounce back game for Marcus too. Great PG play.

RJ / VC stepping it up again.

that's 3 games in a row post-Kidd that the Nets have scored 100+.
If they can get their defense right & consistent things will look pretty good.
Of course, they have played Chicago / Indiana 2x so it's still up in the air how good/bad this team is. Also we haven't seen Harris yet so...

They have to play Orlando / San Antonio 2x / New Orleans / Dallas / Houston / Cleveland / Utah in the next 3 weeks so it's gonna be a very tough schedule shortly & they could be buried by March 15 or if things go surprising well Net's fans & the NBA world may be taking another look at these misfits.

The other big problem looming is VC's minutes. Post-Kidd era he's played 46:12 (OT) / 40:41 / 43:06. There isn't really a legitimate back up & RJ / Hassell / etc are back up by committee. Heavy minutes w/ questionable ankle issues is a potential for injury and/or empty gas tank once (if) playoffs come around...not sure Nets can really do anything at this point to correct this lack of balance on the roster though but it's something to watch.

NjNeTs1029 · Post #19 » by **NjNeTs1029** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 6:20 pm

josh boone, marcus williams, and RJ all with great games. Marcus has really surprised me since Kidd left except for friday nights game. Im excited to watch this team once Harris comes back from injury. Harris and Williams are 2 young PGs with a lot of potential.

excellent point, this is why I was ticked off that Thorn wasn't able to swing a deal at the deadline for someone to come off the bench at the 2 spot.
