To all our new nets fans from abroad the way sports works in this country is based on production on the court. There is no race, or color restrictions, its all based on what you do on the court. Production is key! That is why there is no politics or other crap that affects the game. Its part of what makes the game pure. The main reason Yi is being blamed is because over a 24 game stretch starting at PF he is very inconsistent and sometimes no existent. In 24 games he has had like 3 or 4 outstanding games while the rest he is horrible. This kind of consistency brings on the blame. VC and DH have a bad games they are blamed as well. Stop comming up with excuses for the man, and allow his play speak for itself. So far his play speaks volumes as to why he doesn't belong as a starting PF in the NBA... Oh yeah, go nets!!!
Sarcasm is half truth. notice I don't disagree that Yi is playing like crap. Chinese rumor is that he hurt his shoulder.
When your points lack substance, it's difficult to hold a serious conversation. At that point, it becomes necessary to hide behind sarcasm. No one can deny that Yi is playing poorly. Instead of addressing that fact, Malor would rather be sarcastic towards those who are objectively evaluating Yi.
You can hide behind sarcasm all you want -- but you are as transparent as water. It bothers you so much that people are criticizing Yi -- well, when people deserve to be criticized, they will be. His poor play has brought it on, not his nationality. You keep bringing up his nationality, as if any of us care about it. It will not deflect from the fact that he has been playing like garbage.
Yi is just a kid, i agree he is not tough enough, the coach and his supported team need to do something, i admit chinese kid is fragile because the one child one family policy in china, the parents spoil their kid, but china has good 5000 years traditional culture, something like never letdown, is in the heart, in the clutch time, in the live or die situation, the magic would show up.
American players are garbage too if they play Table tennis, some other country players play table tennis in china just because the chinese boss want to earn money, so let it be, sometimes it just a businese. is Yi garbage? i don't know, who knows? just wait and see.
reading some posts I regret we traded for Yi. at least we would not have had that many quasi Nets fans.
Yeah, I also regret NJ being so close to NY. I'm stuck with the Nets on Yes network. Why can't we get a real team in NY.
This is exactly what I expected out of you. You can hide behind your sarcasm, but it doesn't change the fact that Yi is disappointing. And it has nothing to do with being Chinese. When you would like to have a reasonable discussion regarding Yi, let me know. I won't hold my breath, though.
Like the title of the thread states........Maybe boone should be starting next to lopez... I'm convinced that Yi ain't gonna get better on defense and at best he's a role player off the bench.
please doo not make fun of the chinese they are good fans i like YI and I am not chinese i am japanese so what you say now silly Boy?
