Re: PG: Can We Skip 3rd Quarters?
PP n KG have been awful on both sides.... unacceptable... its almost pointless in terms of ridding ourselves with the previous wastes of spaces... its still JJ, Dwill n Lopez....as soon as the last two come back... if at all.

At what point do we stop scapegoating the coaching and start calling it like it is? Pierce and KG are playing like they're washed up, and it's hard to argue that they're not, based on what we're seeing from them.
If they played at even 50% of the level they were at last year, we'd have a MUCH better record right now.
You would prefer Toko Shengelia and Mason Plumlee over Pierce and KG? Either way the game was lost in the 3rd quarter. It didn't matter who finished the game on the court for the Nets.
We desperately need Brook, AK and Deron to get healthy and stay healthy. If Kidd's biggest regret is not staying with a lineup of Taylor, Anderson, Shengelia, Teletovic, Plumlee in the 4th and we're forced to play those guys major minutes its going to be a long season. The majority of those guys belong in Springfield.

maybe nothing, maybe something?
I wish this sentence made sense.
?
Kidd, Bobby Marks, Billy King and a "3rd" GM(see: probably Prokhorov) met with Kidd before the post game press conference.
Maybe they are meeting with him to tell him step it up or step down, maybe they are just there to talk.

Kidd needs to resign. Willingly, or by force
**** him.

We're 1-11 without Lopez dating back to last season.
But he sucks, he needs to be traded for a guy with more fire and passion. We should trade him for Javale McGee.
cause we were doing so well with lopez?

If you can't come out with urgency in 3rd quarters. Bench every single one of them until the message is clear.
as i mentioned, nothing is going ot get better because the coaches and leaders dont think that its an issue.

With Lopez 3-5. We had a couple of bad losses (Magic and Sacto) but we weren't abused on the boards, in the post and our offensive efficiency was A LOT better.
We're 0-5 without Lopez and we allow the most second chance points in that stretch. We would have beaten Detroit, Charlotte and probably the clippers with Lopez on the floor.
But no, you're right, we're just as bad with Lopez on the floor despite every statistical category, the W-L record and the overall competitiveness of each game stating the contrary.

i said we werent good with lopez either. 3-5 with blowout losses to the kings and magic. those are by far our 2 worst losses. you say 3-5 and make it out like thats some kind of good thing. we have sucked regardless of who is on the floor

Unlucky? I'd call it piss poor effort, coaching, defense and being old and unprepared, again falling on coaching.
its a process.

Great move by the Nets IMO.
They have turned a team with the highest payroll in the NBA, with a lot of people hating them, into underdogs...Reminds me of the Yankees.

You can take the team out of NJ but you can't take NJ out of the team.
