I can't believe that there isn't a thread yet about Antoine Wright. yet another game that the Nets win when Antoine doesn't play, or doesn't play much at all. Is Antoine a help or a hindrance? Discuss.</p>
Friend - He's hitting that jumpshot, and although I haven't looked at the stats, its been my perception that he's been more reliable from 3-pt land (considering FG attempts, too). He hasn't lost his defensive ability, and is now driving through the lane with confidence.</p>
one dimensional player with above average defensive skills. still waiting for him to blossom, but, apparently one just can't jump above his head.</p>
Foe - He's fools gold.. Just when you think he's good, he's not that good. Although his Fear and Loathing in the Las Vegas summer camp has helped his gameplay alot. I just thought he'd be a bit more krunk at this point.
He reminds me of Courtney Alexander or Qunton Ross... not in a good way. Not sure why really either...</p>
Im gonna have to side with jerkstore. I know it was the LeBronless Cavs but we still played very smooth. Makes you wonder.</p>

BTW, where was Antoine last night? I was a few minutes late tuning in the game (forgot about the early start), and I didn't hear anything about him. Was he sick? Not with the team? DNP-CD?</p>

He had the sore shoulder that he had a wrap around the entire game.</p>
Friend- He's not what the Nets (or everyone here) thought he would be, but he's not anywhere as tentative/scared to shoot/ whatever else you want to call it as he was the two previous years. He still plays good D on the other teams best wing a lot, freeing up Kidd and Carter to do the things they do well.</p> Plus he's really the only backup for Vince Carter the team has.</p>
