    I realize it's not all that matters, but a four-five inch advantage, you have to get that, if it's a fair toss. Sometimes the refs really fuck those up, too.

    On a good note out of the 3 rookies and one soph we have, Brook is a certified starting center for the nets for the next decade. The rest still need to develop.

    Hey Thorn/Kiki, Beyonce has some advice for you regarding the starting SF position:

    Yi's shooting pct. is about to dip below 40%. For a 6-11 Power Forward....just abysmal. Can we trade him to Golden State for a first rounder, or Brandan Wright? The Asian population there would love him, and he could just run and gun and shoot 3s with Nellie. Or trade him to the Clippers, they will be looking to deal players soon.

    See what happens when we feature Brook when he has the advantage in the matchup? thats one step towards improvement Coach Frank! btw no one should be surprise that Brook had a good game, he always had this potential and certainly capable of being a 20/10 player when our guards notice him!

    we lost but we were competitive given the disadvantages (shorthanded, VC, Hayes for the 0fer, non existent of 3s, Refs, capitalize 3 straight DET TOs)

    again we lost but i'm not that upset we did everything right as much as we can and i just LUVed how we played D towards the end of 4th, we certainly did our part defensively to come back just fell short on the offense...

    There are a lot of team with undersized centers that the Nets could feature Lopez. Also Nets had some nice pick and roll with Lopez and Harris tonight.

    How about sending Yi to Ok City for Wilcox? I think they'd do that, and I'd take Wilcox over Yi any day.

    The age investigation says he's 24, let's not get overboard.

    Hope tonight was another step in Brooks development. He had success on the pick and roll and if the Nets could use that play more it would give another dimension to the offense.

    He better not be 24, he has way to many flaws. He'd also be around the age where you just have to accept that he is who he is and won't progress much.

    I am very disappoint Yi fault to help his team win, this game is the best chance, he's not doing enough to help the team win, but he do his best, his outside shot is overrated, I always know he just can't shoot well beyond 10 feet from basket, he has good touch but he isn't a shooter.

    Lopez playing great, but he fault to help his team win also, his post defense isn't good enough, lost a key rebound and lost the jump ball, it hurts.

    Actualy his post def. is very good. He's one of the only actually good defenders on our team.
