Seriously guys what did you expect? This isn't a 40 win team anymore. Might not even be a 30 win team. Nobody said rebuilding was easy, and the East got a lot better this offseason. I'm not saying this team can't get it together sometime in the season and sneak into the playoffs, but the chances of that happening are very slim. EDIT: Also, instead of looking at the box score and the final result, try to focus on each individual player and see his development as the season goes on. More fun, less painful.
True, but part of the team they're beating is comprised of Julius Hodge, Mo Ager, and Eddie Gill. How many minutes do you think those guys see in a real game? And no Vince after mid third, no Devin after late 3rd.
How the hell does Royal Ivey get the free throw line 8 times in 24 minutes and how does Reggie Evans get to the free throw line 12 times in 24 minutes?
Looks like someone grabbed Reggie's jewels too many times during the game...taste of his own medicine.
That's also true, but it also means that other teams will play their star players more when the season starts. And the starting lineup is supposed to be a weakness for the Nets (Simmons, Yi, Boone/Lopez) while the bench depth and supporting players is supposed to be more of a strength for the Nets this season. Some of them are injured but things aren't looking too bright on that front.
wow ryan anderson got 9 rebounds in 17 minutes... i know its the preseason and the sixers dont have a healthy big guy besides brand, but still... looks impressive in the box score. Wish i could have watched the game...

isnt he just 18? we have to wait for the 2010 draft to get him right? Right now we're looking at players like Stephen Curry and Blake Griffin for 2009 draft.
