After what happened last game....Im just...

If this team has any heart, they will win this game.

[DarkXaero]

I'm not even sure I want to watch this. I have work to do anyway, and watching this series has been emotional torture.

[therealbig3]

If we lose this game, we probably won't win the series...

Please at least extend this to 6 games. Losing the series on our home court in Brooklyn would be even more embarrassing than what we've done so far.

[CalamityX12]

can't say I have real faith in them anymore.... i mean from the coaching to the sh*tty roster of "gutless" & "cluless".... how?

[hemanlives]

The Nets need to wake-up!!! Chicago has a putrid offense that is just appalling without their scared **** point guard Derrek Rose. You cant little boy Nate run wild like he did. That first game seemed to have everyone fooled big time. The Nets just need to win one game at home now and maybe take that into game 6 with desperation. The Bulls-hit team is so boring and ugly to watch play. A Nets-Miami series would be fun even though they swept the Nets in the regualr season

Word is Hinrich is most likely out with a calf injury, half of their roster is half dead cause of the minutes they played. If they are serious about winning this series, they have every possible reason and motivation to do it more than ever.

The worst part about that game was we literally did any and everything we wanted to their defense. They couldn't defend us for nothing, Deron, Joe, Lopez played a well balanced game which we wanted. Wallace/Evans played well offensively which we wanted and you blow the game doing dumb crap in less than 2 minutes.

What happened to the good ole' Stackhouse leadership?

[BlueDawn]

Brook Lopez needs to box his ****ing man out. Especially if it's a one legged Noah. Jesus I wanted to kill him when I saw him just have his hands on Noah's back riding him like a camel and watching him rebound the ball, put it back and yell in his face/ at the crowd.

Joe Johnson needs to attack Deng or Butler or whoever's guarding him and not post-up as long as Reggie Evans and Wallace share the floor. That WILL lead to a turn over and him fumbling the ball trying to do a near 20 ft fadeaway.

Deron Williams needs to play start to finish and get in HIS team's ASS!

CJ Watson needs to stop being a choke artist maestro.

Billy King already got away with high-way robbery and has the org. blinded.

PJ needs to go out HONORABLY and TRY to put out a rotation that doesn't piss the players or fans off, and more so that makes a shred of logic that can be followed.

[JoseRizal]

The teams lacks "killer instinct". They should treat every game as if it's their last.

I'm sorry to say this but what we need is a capable leader on the floor. Either DWill steps up and be the man, or get someone who will bring that attitude to this team.

We can blame PJ and to a certain extent BK all we want (Can we do anything about it? Maybe next season), but at the end of the day our players should make things happen on the court...

DWill & JJ both have lengthy playoff experiences, the least I'm expecting is that these would translate well on the court. Push Brook further to his limit, he's a walking mismatch for God's sake.

[Paradise]

I have watched the Heat, Knicks and now Nuggets play defense and I'm starting to wonder something...If the Bulls have no really good Point Guard to run their offense...Why the hell don't we trap their guards and force them to make risky passes?

Why didn't we throw traps and double teams at Nate and force him to give up the ball? Butler is a terrible outside shooter, Deng was fairly terrible from the outside, Noah couldn't shoot

There is literally no good strategy we use in situations where a player has the hot hand.

The aforemention have coaches and a coaching staff that thinks outside the box.....

[CalamityX12]

Anyways, has there been any mention as what PJ plans on doing to save our playoff run? Adjustments? Maybe use timeouts?

Or will he just use the players on short rotations over and over til they collapse on the court?

MORE STACKHOUSE! Obviously...


But we really do need D-Will, JJ, and Lopez to step it up. D-Will needs to stop disappearing in the 4th. JJ needs to realize that there are 3 other quarters before the 4th where he should be going to work as well. Lopez needs to rebound more aggressively.

[CalamityX12]

The obvious is Dwill, JJ and Lopez needing to step up. I can't believe our big 3 can't play like a big 3.... its not complicated yet it is...

We need Watson to make layups and not dunks, does Brooks play? Can Bogans hit the 3 anymore? Maybe some mirza for a quick 2 minutes? idk.... oh maybe Blatche step up and stop with the dumb plays.... If he and Lopez can finish the games together we would be in good shape...

[VCRJKidd15]

Haha the beginning of this thread is so depressing

[Hello Brooklyn]

Am hoping we can pullout a win on our home court.

However, there is no chance we win in Chicago.

[Fat Kat]

If we lose this game, we probably won't win the series...

Probably? Isn't this series 3–1?

[MaxZaslofskyJr]

Probably? Isn't this series 3–1?

You probably have a point.

[serp]

Part of me wants us to lose so we get rid of PJ earlier and move on from his bad coaching as fast as possible. Still would hate to see the home crowd witness the team get eliminated . Fan deserve better .

Are you convinced PJ gets fired?

front office seems to look at this season as a success and already brought king back
