Damn.. We're facing a team that just beat SA and Boston in a back to back. Which of these predictions is the most likely to occur:

Travis Outlaw scored more than 11 points.
Brook Lopez out-rebounds Jameer Nelson.
Favors plays more than 21 minutes.
We trail after the first quarter by only 8.
Stephen Graham doesn't give an And-1.
Troy Murphy shoots over 40% from the field.

I'll go with Favors playing over 21 minutes.

Same...really would like to see Favors step up after the demands of Avery to see more energy out of him.

Umm Umm Umm... Go Nets!?

Nope that wasn't so bad at all. Good luck guys.

There's a good chance the Arena looks as empty as it was when the snow storm hit last season...I think it was against the Bucks.

People were making fun of that all season like it was a norm. Hopefully a decent amount of people show up.

^^more people will show up due to it's new location, but it will still look rather empty because of the blizzard.

Much better defensive effort out there by Favors tonight. Wish they'd go to him more against Anderson offensively, see if they can get him going.

Agreed...I screamed at Farmar (i.e. the tv lol) missing Favors coming off of the pick and roll.

Outlaw lmao....I thought I heard someone shout as Outlaw passed up that open three-pointer to take that god awful mid-range off the dribble "c'mon Trav!!"...presumably from the Nets bench

Why the hell is this Hyundai Christmas Commercial still running?????... Dammit

As for the game, Lopez & Harris playing great so far... the others?? no.

Graham confused passing with running on that pass to Outlaw haha..."Let me bullet it to Outlaw. Whoops out of bounds."

I'm always uncomfortable running any type of offense through Humphries.

To be honest guys, I can see why Humph keeps getting PT. As a coach, Avery doesn't want to lose and (I agree that you want your large investment to get the most PT) but Humph almost always does something positive when he steps on the floor.

Murphy is playing TERRIFIC. :kissmybutt:

I still don't want us to keep giving him the ball out of the paint. We should keep regulating him to cleanup.

SpeedyG · Post #18 » by **SpeedyG** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:47 am

Need to give the ball to Favors down low against Anderson and see if he can get going. We've got nothing working for us right now, except for possibly a match-up of whoever vs. Ryan in the post.

There's gotta be ONE D-League player better at the 2, isn't there?
