Game Thread: Utah Jazz @ New Jersey Nets 12.17.08

Looks like it was a fun 4th qtr to watch...40-23

 

Why you nba guys draft yi at pick 6? are all nba GMs idots? tell me why? now you guys play yi the wrong way and train him the wrong way, i just tell you why he play so poorly and you say yi is the worse player in NBA, and yi even don't play the center, and you say yi is just a shift, okey, some day yi go off, you guys will regret what you say, if yi is just a shift, why you fucking nba draft him at pick 6.

 

do you mean stiff? I agree.

 

Maybe they drafted him because the NBA didn't know he would suck so much?

I don't understand what the big difference is with Yi playing center as opposed to power forward. They are almost interchangable. Yi matches up against both centers and power forwards on defense and opposing centers and power forwards guard him on offense.

The reason why he has played so poorly is because he is not good.

 

You clearly don't understand how good he is. How else could he be getting so many all-star votes?

 

I have a question for the next ask the announcers on YES: when was the last time (if ever) that a team scored less than 10 points in one quarter and reached 40 points in another in the same game?

 

ok, why yi is the third scorer and the third rebounder in statistics, he got those statistics in 26.6min playing time and even hardly allow to go to the low post, and you guys say he is a shift, all you guys say yi almost the reason why nets lost to jazz, and actually yi got the best +/- value in this game AGAIN, he grab 7 boards in just 17min, and you guys still say he is the worse defender in the NBA, and you dear coach frank took out yi and let his best defender play then got pull away by the jazz and never look back, this lost and recently lost not yi's fault or not the main reason, and you guys just say yi is the shift is the shift is the shift, so he got no confident, and he still play his best, if you guys root for him, he would play better, it's frank's fault, he just can't control his tow all stars, let them took too much shoots, so other three guys just stand and watch and get ice cold, his 1 big 4 smalls just don't work and yi's defense just be underrated.

 

why yi's defense be underrated? yi did too much to help his teammates, and his teammates didn't help him, so he lost his man, he just too stupid to try to do two man's job, if he just defense his man he would be a good defender like in bull's game.

 

The Nets were going nowhere with Yi on the court. They really started to pull away from the Jazz after he was taken out in the 1st. He had a horrible game outside of his solid rebounding, but rebounding isn't nearly enough to justify his presence on the court.

EDIT: My bad, the Nets were up with 15-3 with Yi on the court in the 1st. I guess I just didn't feel his effect on the game in those first minutes. The Nets kept doing well after he was taken out.

 

IN the early season, every body invovle in the offense and sometimes even yi's shoots more than VC's, in the forth VC took over and be the hero, and every body happy, after DH go off, every thing is changed, two hero through the game, other three guys is gone, when in the forth, VC and DH is tired and other three guys is ice cold, so the game is over once again again and again.

 

I already said this about Krstic and three years later I was proven right I will say the same thing about Yi. 7 foot players who are shooters and can not play in the paint, who can not rebound or defend will not last long in this league.

Yi was drafted at number 6 but a player like Milsap will take his ass to school and will end up playing longer in the NBA and being more valued than Yi ever will.

The same way Krstic was getting bullied by players half his height is the same future Yi has in stored for him.

I remember the post I had about Yi when I first heard this unproven player refused to play with the Bucks. How dare he? Now remember that. Because years from now when he is back over seas he will remember there was a time where he thought he was good enough to tell a NBA team no.

As for the Nets. They just peaked early that's all they will likely not make the playoffs and Devin Harris has to hope he can stay playing at this level because he will miss the all star game. People are noticing Mo Williams and Rondo.

 

Yi played like shit today my friend. In the first quarter, he was the only one struggling. And then he just got abused all game long by Okur and Milsap.
He got all of his points in garbage time, matter fact the Nets started fucking up whenever they had Yi shoot the ball like 4 times in a row in the 2nd quarter because he missed them all!
Watching the game and looking at the stats is VERY different

PS- What's shift? Shift=shit? shift= Stiff?
Also, we DID NOT draft Yi at #6.

 

I say it again, yi is not a shooter, it's your coach train him to a shooter, i don't know why? he way more effective in the pain than in outside when he play china nation team's game as a center when yao absence, when he play the 4, his game is awful, he just can't dribble the ball well .

 

yes, Shift=shit

miss shoot is not everything my friend.

 

i dont kno whats goin on with the nets havent been watchin cuz of finals and my wife bout to give birth... but they are upsetting me

 

ebc, there's a huge difference of playing center in China than the NBA. Yi wouldn't last as a center for 2 minutes.

 

Yi is a shooter in the NBA. China's League=Local New Jersey YMCA......he was either playing against a 5'5" Center or a chair. Yi can't even play in the paint @ PF against softer and SHORTER players, let alone legit NBA Centers like Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum for that matter. He's just too weak and soft....the whole reason he's in the NBA was because he was athletic and versatile for a big, not because he was a banger in the paint.

 

I WASTED an evening and a lot of moeny going to see this team.

the arena was empty and dead.

i noticed something about this team though. they have no enthusiasm anymore. the jazz players were standing everytime a good play was made or their players were coming off the floor. i look at the nets bench and everyone is in their own lil world. najera was the only one running to meet players as they came off. no clapping no cheering nothing. i think that trickles down from the coach's laid back persona. not good at all!!

yi and simmons are jokes. you tell me another 7ft in the league that misses a wide open put back dunk? he is disgusting. he did have 7rb though. anderson or swift should get that starting job. even boone! yi needs 20 min off the bench and thats it. he is a liability every nite.

simmons needs to just sit on the bench in dress clothes.

something isnt right with this team. we seem to play better when we are coming from behind.

 

totally agree with your points on yi.

7ft jumpshooters are a waste. no room for them in the nba. give me a banger in the paint anyday.

thats why dirk doesnt have that ring he had his eyes on. he didnt go in the paint and bang for it. until a7ft jumpshooter wins a ring i will stick by this theory.

 

No difference, if yi can't play PF well in china, he can't play PF well in NBA either, so he play center better in china, he would play center better in NBA.
