The turnaround jumper is starting to become automatic for Jonas. Such a reliable weapon.

If the players who got the lead blew its one thing but to watch a Casey rotational **** up blow it is another.

Casey was trying to rest his starters for next game. Totally backfired.

The more I look at this, the more I realize she DID NOT like it at all.


I don't think that's the case. If you watch closely, she opens her mouth too but then she thinks better of it and changes her mind.

Seems like bf/gf to me.

Terrible collapse but can't say I didn't expect it to happen. Important thing is that at the end of the day, its a W and we're up one now. We get 2 chances to finish this and we better come out hard next game, get a 26 pt lead again, and keep it this time.

1) That kid looks drunk.

2) She doesn't look even remotely happy being there. Either that or she's not happy he is drunk.

3)If they really are a couple how can they survive this? I mean everybody in the world now thinks he's a 'tard because of her.

It's like the entire team besides Lowry went full idiot mode in the fourth. Amir and Pat were horrendous. Pat leaving Tittievich open made me lose it then Amir almost made me break my converter. Casey leaving Hayes in there is inexcusable especially sine he already doesn't like playing Val at the end why didn't he let him play more in the 4th. John Salmons is on Rasul Butler status to me. Please Landry get better. On the one hand I want us to win. But that probably means that Casey is back. So I'm torn. My wanting to see us in the next round is being tested by my hate for Casey.
why was hakeem called "the dream"??"

Because it rhymes with 'Olajuwon'.

Salmons has been the only guy keeping JJ in check. Are you morons even watching the games? Jesus christ, it was JJ behind this meltdown and nobody there to guard him. As soon as Salmons came out JJ stopped scoring.


You quoted my post but it was in regards on offence. No matter what he does on D... Salmons is awful on offence right now.

Salmons is a net negative. I don't see how you can actually debate this.


Listen you bloody moron, and every single idiot who thinks the same way because of the OKC game-- Salmons on offense is not a problem as long as he can keep the biggest offensive threat they have in check. Demar, our best offensive player sucked so bad on D against JJ that we let a 26 point lead disappear. This is how important shutting down the opponents best player is. "oh but he missed a few shots" **** off with that nonsense and open your damn eyes.


Not sure if serious. Do you watch basketball? You knock on a guy for his defense, but you don't knock on another guy who makes boneheaded offense plays not because of inability, but because of pure stupidity. Yes JJ was lighting it up, but he wasn't the only one. Teletovic, AA, etc. Shake my head. Don't go around calling people "bloody morons" when you aren't even right.

I know everyone loves Vasquez (I've personally said I wouldn't mind him as a 2 guard off the bench) but man does he **** up a lot. The reason the Nets got back in the game is from him committing 2 bad turnovers and a couple of bad fouls on defence at the beginning of the 4th quarter that got the Nets within 15 and woke them up.

Like if he could have just managed the game better and kept the lead at 18 or 20 until the 8:00 minute mark we could've potentially just coasted to victory, but no, they woke up in large part because of Vasquez.

I'm not saying the 4th Q was Casey's fault, but one element sure was: I really do not understand why he did not insert Jonas earlier when they were coming back. I really really really cannot figure that one out. He was a big part of our run in the second, and he hit some big shots early in the 3rd and I just can not figure that one out.
