All new Nets is no fun to watch....

Agreed, I'm watching these games to see how Favors is coming along at this point.

I wouldnt want to pass it to Outlaw either.At some point it comes down to your teammates making shots or layups or dunks.

What an embarassment...

[JoseRizal]

The FO's confused that's why we suck... They are torn between contending and rebuilding...

[vincecarter4pres]

Oh god that **** hyundai commercial is still on!

[Talentfull]

we should probably give Uzoh some more burn...Can't be worse than Farmar.

Yeah. Even D-League studs may be better...

Okay so we're just talking about this game? You said remember the shots they used to get with the nets, but alright. Yes it is the PG's job to set up plays, but IN MY OPINION, just my opinion, if the pg can score better and more consistently then your teammates, then the pg should score...If he's actually an SG then that's the management/coaching's problem for putting him in the wrong position. Although I don't think we have anyone that could do better. But there's more things wrong with the team than just that, so whatever.

You're not getting the whole point though. Yes, this game, Harris seemed like he can get to the basket almost at-will. Guess what? So can Westbrook. But did you see Westbrook scoring on every single attempt? No, he was dishing it off...to guys like Collison, Krstic, Ibaka, etc. during his penetration.

Are those three any better than Lopez, Favors, and Hump?

Confidence is a big big thing in sports. You get Lopez an easy basket and next thing you know he gets more confident and starts making his jumper. You reward Favors for running the court with an easy dunk, and next time, he runs back harder, maybe rebounds harder, maybe defends harder because he knows if he gets a rebound or block a shot that if he runs back, he's going to be rewarded. Same with Hump. It's a chain effect. It's contagious.

Nobody wants to watch a one-on-one game in basketball. Even guys like MJ, Kobe, and Lebron, elite scorers, are much much better when they get their teammates involved. Guys like that (and in some cases Harris), can get their baskets anytime they want. So ideally, you'd like to see them get the other players involve, get them going offensively, and then take his when the defense starts to sag because everyone's scoring.

Yes, I think those three are better than Lopez and Hump. At the moment, Favors too, but I'm sure he'll turn into a great player down the line. And I'm pretty sure people do like to watch one-on-one basketball if it means their team is going to WIN. Like I said, if you have teammates that can't consistently make baskets, than you have to be the one to do it. Regardless if it makes you look selfish; the goal is to win, and you do what you have to to get that win. This team hasn't proved to me that they have other consistent scorers.

Wow...Krstic/Collion/Ibaka better scorers than Lopez?
