Bugg Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah, but everybody likes playing for PJ Carlesimo so we have that going for us. And when it comes to a coach being physically attacked, it wont be a new experience for PJ. How does anyone call a 60+ guy PJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The next 4 games will be instructive for the Nets closing out the month. They play @Grizz, @Rockets, and home for Magic and Heat. Going 2-2 will be a good sign, 3-1 exceptional. The Knicks have a tough schedule in March when the Nets could potentially make a serious move for the division, but the Nets have a brutal 8 game road trip to end that month, going back and forth from the coasts. They aren't elite opponents except for the Clips, but an 8 game trip is still a long trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be hard to really gauge anything at this point, IMO, since every team is dragging. If the Nets beat the Heat by 30, it won't really mean much.

The losses these two weeks across the league have been crazy. The Clips lose to the Suns, the Wizards beat the Bulls, Jazz beat Heat, Magic beat Pacers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they'd never go that route. Bill Simmons has also advocated for a shorter season and I agree. The season builds in "schedule losses (4 in 5 nights, usually last game on the road, many times a back-to-back). He mentioned a 74 game season. I think a 70ish game season works. Heck, an 82 game season would work if they eliminated every back-to-back and breaks between games longer than 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With there being well-defined parameters for max contracts, Tannenbaum's trump card would be useless in the NBA... you can't simply pay a free agent more than any other team to "lure" him in.

Normally I'd cringe at the prospect of the Nets hiring him, but the visual of Prokhorov dropping Tannenbaum's body out of a helicopter over Siberia warms the cockles of my heart.

T0mShane Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Also, Nets fans, we're not winning anything with Brooke Shields at center. Without looking it up, I'm guessing the Nets are bottom five in field goal percentage against in the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopez might be a better investment, at least until Dwight's back is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopez might be a better investment, at least until Dwight's back is normal. Dwight is a giant puss-baby, for sure. But Lopez is a puss-baby in his own way, in that he gets intimidated by every physical front court player who glares at him. Every center ever has hated playing with Kobe, from Shaq to Gasol to Bynum, and now Howard. I think a lot of Dwight's malaise has to do with that, and getting him to Brooklyn instantly wakes him up. Deron will eventually knife Lopez in the locker room after Lopez hosts another Get To The Rim Free! Party. Added bonus: getting to watch Lopez weep on the court after one quarter of getting berated by Kobe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Interesting. Bobcats and Nets discussing a Ben Gordon for Humphries trade. Would be great considering the amount of times Joe Johnson disappears, and considering that Hump gives you nothing that Reggie doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
