OT-Halftime score btwn Tor/NJ 70-33

What is going on with Devin Harris . .. shooting much worse and his assists are down.

I guess Jarrett Jack starts for the Raptors these days.

 

Devin Harris has one supporting cast member worth a damn, so he draws all of the defense's attention. My other guess is that after your record reaches the point the Nets currently hold, it's got to be awfully hard to try your hardest or really care.

 

Maybe we can buy low on Devin Harris, and somehow get a Harris/Roy/Bayless backcourt rotation.

 

jack is starting because of caledron's injury. and what really hindered the nets tonight was that brook lopez got into early foul trouble and the raps ran away with it in the first half. although, interestingly- the nets just won the third quarter. another interesting observation is that the nets are barking at one another, they really dont get along.

 

Umm...no.

 

Jack possibly runs the fast break worse than Blake.

 

Devin Harris reportedly went to Rod Thorne and questioned the direction of the team. I think he's more available then he's been since he was on the Mavericks.

 

Will they let us play with 2 balls? Only way there will be enough shots for that back court.

 

Hopefully, Rod answered "East, because we're moving to Brooklyn".

This is a team with one foot out of New Jersey who doesn't give a shit about winning.

 

The only way the Nets move Harris is for either a sweetheart deal that brings them back a star player or if they win the lottery and draft John Wall.

 

Who will the Nets draft if they get the number 1 pick?

 

John Wall. You have to - he's by FAR the best player on the board, at least today he is. They could trade the pick I suppose . . . but if they keep it they're picking Wall.

 

Absolutely. Harris is a nice scoring point guard, but Wall has potential to be a top 2 or 3 point guard in the league (assuming he lives up to it). If they got JW, Harris would make a very attractive trade piece which could help them fill out their roster with some actual depth, and they are still going to be big players in free agency this summer.

 

I didn't see the game, but was very surprised to see that half time score. Toronto is on pace to have the worst defensive rating in the entire 64 year history of the NBA. So, I was surprised to see them hold anyone, even the pathetic 2-25 Nets, to 33 points in the first half. I was curious to know if the Raptors were actually playing defense, or the Nets just couldn't hit an open shot.

Of course, the Raptors returned to form in the second half by allowing that same 2-25 team to drop 62 points on them. Good thing they built that big half time lead, because the Nest out scored them by 14 in second half.
