not a good roster. who, outside of VC, can create his own shot consistently? do we have a big who can score in the post? sorry, ppl wo love this team, hate this team, whatever your feelings are, this team isn't winning anything. We thought 05-06 was the beginning of a new Big Three era when really, it was there last year as a good unit. How is it that we were better with vaughn and Smokey the Bear as to Boki, Wright etc...?
This is a team of losers. They are so familiar to losing, they can't get over it. Frank and Carter are hopeless.
I miss Kmart, Atrain, Kittles Sweet Lu and the rest of the bunch. none of them demanded the ball and they all borught the effort. aw man, we didnt appreciate what we had
eventually this thing has to either be blown up or altered. my million dollar question is, who would take vince and his contract? hopefully it doesnt cripple us. at least kidd and rj have value from their play where you would take on their contract, so if we blow this up we need to find a sucker basically. its really sad because we have teh talent, its either the players, the coaches, a combo and so far nobody is doing anything to change our attitude and direction. the waiting game continues

I can see Sean with the ability to score in the paint...maybe a year from now. Right now? That was supposed to be Magloire :-( EDIT: actually thats kind of the story isn't it? Antoine was supposed to offer bench scoring, boki was supposed to be our 3pt threat, and Magloire was supposed to be our post scorer. Krstic...Krstic...was supposed to play, Marcus was supposed to give Kidd a break and be his protege...right now this is a team of failed expectations.

The way in which you analyze everything makes me think you really are Huey. </div> I get that alot lol lol but seriously I never thought the Nets were contenders even during the two 14 streak wins. I never thought for a second the way this team is made up is enough to win. Not bagging on our players but they don't have it in them and they are not better or even on the level of a Pistons team. Maybe I see things to black and white. This team is okay for what it worth but people expecting games in june or late may should but that Tivo down.
I only hang onto Sean, Wright, Boone and Marcus and I've slowly let go of Marcus and Wright since they aren't doing anything. We should draft Hasheem Thabeet so we don't have to worry about scoring since nobody will ever score downlow on us between him and Sean.

The team has made quite a habit of "mentally letting go of the rope." ANd they can't break it. It really hurts a fan to watch his team give up: the lack of effort, shrugging shoulders, hesitant moves. It's watching something you once looked up to collapse right in front of you.

Him and RJ make almost the same this season. It's still the front court and shooting that needs to be addressed. They have 10 million invested in Magloire and Collins who contribute little to nothing. And for some reason Thorn came into this season with Nachbar as the only shooting threat off the bench.

Miami may also include a lottery protected first...Pairing Carter with Wade, Shaq and Davis might actually turn there season around. Personally if I was Riley I would just tank and take my top 5 pick but apparently there going after Bibby so they must be interested in making a run this year.
Kills me how everyone blames Carter for everything that foes wrong with this team, The Nets lost as a team Carter didn't lose the game
This team sux.Carter and RJ will never co-exist,chip RJ ass out,and get a BIG MAN.There's no player on this team, who can create his own shot,except Carter.Buches of prima donna SO F*CKING SAD
