PG: Brook leaves with sore right foot

[jbeachboy]

im looking forward to seeing extended minutes for bargnani now , very exciting

[MrDollarBills]

Wake me up when King is fired.

[Raps Maniac]

Wake me up when King is fired.

I'm curious as to why he hasn't been fired yet? Are there at least rumours of him being on the hot seat? Is no higher exec evaluating his performance?

The only rumor we've heard is about a possible extension...smh

The higher execs are all basketball dumb they don't know what they are doing they signed off on every single bad move and actually pushed for some of them

Very hard seeing this team win a game. You just know they can't play the full 48 minutes and the other team almost inevitably will go on a run and shut out the Nets when it matters. Maybe they steal one in Sacramento if they're depleted by injuries then.

[Prokorov]

It´s Brook right foot smh were finished

we are 0-7 and cant win a game. we were already finished

[Prokorov]

He wont play for at least another week. Nets will not take chances with that foot. So now Bargnani or Trob will start either way its a HUGE dropoff. Prepare 0-12 or worse. Nets may not get to double digit wins this year. Worst team in NBA easily.

would we be much worse if brook played? 1-11?

brook is a good player, but he isnt lebron where he can make up for playing with a team of scrubs

[Prokorov]

Like I've said before. It's one thing to lose due to lack of talent but It's hard to watch losing without any incentive and I'm not talking about the lottery situation either. Hollins is making it abundantly clear has no clue what player development is.

If RHJ can put up 2 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals in 23 minutes in his second career start. Then why can't he simply get 28-30 minutes of floor time consistently? His minutes should not come at the expense of Markel Brown either.

by game 6 RHJ was starting. its not like we are 50 games in and he has been getting DNP-CD's. it is also hard to have RHJ and Markel on the floor, especially if we are struggle to score or are behind. he has also had foul trouble cut into his minutes a few times.

Last time I checked, Markel is shooting the same exact percentages as Joe Johnson. The difference is one can improve with consistent minutes and the other is old and broken down. Giving a 34 Year Old with a historic amount of mileage a combined total of 73 minutes in back to back games goes to show how absolutely backwards minded Hollins is when it comes to today's game. Still stubborn and stuck in the past.

i dont see how consistent minutes are going to turn a bad shooter into a good one. thats not something that happens over night. wheter joe hits it or not guys respect his abiltiy to hit it, and he still constatnly draws a double team. im all for markel playing more, but the idea that it wont effect the offense to me is kind of silly. you can roll out 4 guys who the defense doesnt have to defend.

[Prokorov]

hollins needs to end the jarrett jack, shane larkin , joe johnson, and wayne ellington experiments, play them 10 minutes or less off bench

and start: Sloan, Bogs, RHJ, thad, Brook?

im not against that. but i cant see us being anything but 0-7 had we done that from day 1. sloan is worse then jack and just as bad as larkin. and is an enormous chucker with blinders on. bogs D is just as bad as joes and we still would have just 1 3 point shooter in the lineup. and still have an awful bench

also, its been 7 games. "experiments" should last longer then that. 7 games is a small sample size. you cant change the lineup every 3-4 games and expect good results in any situation.

ive got a text file where i have cut and pasted every suggested lineup change in the game threads starting from game 1. we are already up to 13 different lineups.

because it make more sense to let him go at the end of the year.

fire him now, you have to fire him, isntead of just not extending him

fire him now, and you dont have that fall guy at years end

fire him now, your new GM steps into this crap storm, where at years end its more a blank slate with buckets of money to spend and nowhere to go but up(very similar to mac stepping into the NY jets GM role).

there arent really many advantages of firing him during the season

if we go 4-78 with 4 wins vs the knicks ill be satisfied with that

[MrDollarBills]

The Knicks would beat the brakes off of us.
