As reported in Netsdaily today the nets have player leading in all kinds of stat areas. For example: In Rookie Rebounding stats: Brook Lopez is the number 1 rebounder among rookies with Ryan Anderson being # 10. http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...GAME&qualified=Y&yearsExp=0&splitDD=All Teams In Rookie block shot leaders Brook Lopez is number 1 in block shots, with Ryan Anderson at number 16 http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...GAME&qualified=Y&yearsExp=0&splitDD=All Teams In Three point shooters for all players Yi is at #15, Simmons is #19 and Ryan Anderson is #21 http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...AME&qualified=Y&yearsExp=-1&splitDD=All Teams And, in scoring on the road the nets Devin Harris is number 1, while Vince Carter is at #6 http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...ope=GAME&qualified=Y&yearsExp=-1&splitDD=Road In total scoring the nets have Devin harris at #6 scoring 24.4 , and at #9 is Vince Carter averaging 22.5 http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...itScope=GAME&qualified=Y&yearsExp=-1&splitDD= I wonder why vc and harris don't do as well at home? There is a reason why the nets are playing way above expectations, and maybe these stats help tell why. Your thoughts...
imo, you're extra motivated on the road....I used to play ball, and if you're playing on the road and the crowd is booing the hell outta you, it makes you want to try even more harder so you can shut the hecklers up, in laymen's terms, your competitive drive thrives more off of the negativity in the environment your balling in.
all true, but i think its something else too. This team is so young and surrounded by a great coach and team leader in Vince Carter, it has like a college atmosphere and the team is considerable closer than say a more veteran type of team. I have no proof of this, but its the impression i'm getting from reading and watching the players...
