No moral victories, when you get down by that much you're pretty much giving up any chance you have to win the game. This one hurts, i don't doubt we lose in 6 now.

Deron Williams needs to go. That's really all that's on my mind right now. These last 2 games have been the 2 biggest games of our season, and he came up smaller than mini-me.

Never thought I'd see the day where Johnson's contract is only the 2nd worst on this team, but it clearly is. Deron isn't half the player that Johnson is.

While I do want D-Will to leave, I also think that our system basically has him playing as an undersized 2-guard.

Our frontcourt gives up so much in rebounding that our backcourt really needs to have an advantage against our opponents's backcourt.

Livingston brings up the ball and gets us into our offense.

D-Will is a spot-up shooter and when he does attack the paint, he's just looking to pass the ball.

D-Will must go but if he can't even play PG full-time, I don't understand why you'd want to use him as an undersized 2-guard who isn't faster than the SG defending him and can't bully people in the block anymore.

I think both D-Will and the Nets would benefit by a split.

Oh yeah, kind of just realized that Blatche didn't need to run to the 3pt line, we were only down 2.

Whatever, still doesn't change the fact that we should have shown up a hell of a lot sooner. When you need to make a miracle comeback in a playoff game, it just means you didn't play with the right amount of passion or energy to start the game. In our case, we didn't play the way we should have for 3 quarters, and then decided to show up in the 4th quarter. No team is winning anything playing like that. An experienced team is supposed to know that. Instead, we have Pierce, KG, and Deron playing like rookies that are scared of the bright lights.

Johnson is the ONLY guy that actually showed up for us. Props to him. He's quickly become my favorite Net.

Why don't you guys go to Joe the whole game? He's honestly unguardable for the Raps. Every play where he doesn't touch the ball bails us out.

I think Kidd has to realize that SL cant contain DeRozan... might as well put Livingston on Lowry because his size seems to bother Lowry. DeRozan still going to get his. But Lowry and Vasquez are killinggggggggggg the Nets badly.

Kidd has to realize that Plumlee is hurting the team, Blatche should be the first big off the bench

I meant before, when we called time out and were down 3. He was irrelevant, it's ovbious the Nets needed to go for the three to tie the game. Blatche had no purpose being in the game. Thornton should have been in.

Honestly, EvO, I wouldn't take him if I was another team. His contract is awful to the point of gtfo.

Thats what they pretty much did. We had NO answers for him. It was scary. Haven't seen something like that since Lebron vs 07 Pistons game 5.

The biggest problem in the first half was just that he got into foul trouble. Honestly believe it may have been a different game had it not been for that.

He has been the best player on the team all year.

I'll leave it at that

That said

We need to chalk the Boston trade up as a loss.

Get KG and Pierce the **** OUT

and trade Deron
