New to the Board 

Post#1 » by melman34 » Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:31 pm

i am new to the board and i really don't know the rules on new topics and all,but i am just frustared with this team and needed to let my anger out in some way.i've watched all 3 games and looking at the Nets roster,except Deron none of the other players can even play in europe,yet alone in D-league.That Morrow guy is just horrible.taking too many shots and not even making one.especially those 3's.how could anyone bare watching that guy play in this league.i am a big Deron fan,and i am not saying he is playing like he used to play,but i understand his frustration with this team.i will be watching the nets as much i can,but i just can't stand watching that Morrow guy settling for a stupid 3.just drive to the hoop and draw a foul or create shots for your teammates,but please do not take stupid shots.these guys are getting paid tons of money and yet high school kids play much better basketball than these guys do.

maybe i am being too hursh,but it hurts me as a fan to watch this team play like crap!!!!!

You want Morrow to drive to the hoop and draw a foul? Is this on NBA 2k12 because the cement shoes he has for feet prevent him from doing that. Shooting the open three is about the best he can do with his less than average athleticism.

Other than that, ah, welcome!

you know morrow can't move without traveling right? asking him to drive is like asking him to just give the ball to the other team.

not a fan of 2k12,still stuck with 11.if he cant drive or dirbble then why the heck is this guy playing basketball,maybe he is better off being a rapper or smth. why is he still on the roster and why is getting a playing time?where the heck is the GM?or Avery for that matter!!!!!you have a guy like Deron and you surround him with a group of people who have no TALENT at all!!!!!what hell did they do in the off season?sign some freakin players who can actually drive to the hoop and draw a foul.how hard could it be to draw a foul???????

you telling me that only thing this guy can do is just shoot 3s!!!!!!!he should do us a favor and just retire!!!!i am sick of this guy...

He needs spacing, just like Dwight Howard needs spacing. With Lopez in there, and his shot falling, Morrow would be a great guy off the bench, that's why he hasn't been traded yet.

Anthony Morrow is crap at basketball

He put muscle on in the offseason for some strange reason as if it would make his basketball abilities better and enable him to dribble the ball. Shock horror he still cant do that and now these "muscles" have made him muscle bound and he cant do the 1 thing he was any good at, shoot a 3 pointer.

It sounds like you haven't been following the Nets too closely (or Morrow for that matter). Shooting 3s is what he does and at the end of last year he was on pace to be the 2nd most accurate 3pt shooter in NBA history IIRC. He's the perfect example of a 3pt specialist because he doesn't do anything else well.

As JG said, he needs spacing. Without a solid 2nd option on the team (until Lopez comes back) the wing players will see a lot more defenders thrown their way because our bigs can't score in the post.

Welcome to the board. Relax...your frustration will be rewarded in the offseason.
