Game Thread: Utah Jazz @ New Jersey Nets 12.17.08

the Nets miss Richard Jefferson.

 

This team is so bad at home. Heres to hoping they don't get homecourt advantage come playoff time. If they even make it.

 

bahhh we are gonna regret this one in march if were trying to get a playoff spot...most likely 8th seed...

maybe we wouldnt suck so much at home if the crowd would stop oohing and ahhing over Jazz plays. that only adds gas to the fire.

 

Dooling deserves some blame to. He missed a lot of good open looks at the 3 point line. We can't afford that with the steaming pile of crap at the starting forward positions.

 

rj for simmons/yi trade looks awful

 

It's so sad that's not even a joke.

 

So the Jazz score 7 points in the first quarter and end up winning by double digits?

 

nets peaked early. had NOWHERE to go but downhill. and the losing momentum caught up with them.

 

Really, what is the reasoning for having Yi start over Anderson at this point? Yi right now is just a one dimensional shooter with awful defense. Anderson at least has a little variety and hustle to his game.

On the flip side. Solid game by Lopez. Provided a little post scoring when the zone was giving the Nets trouble because they were bricking outside shots.

 

Yi to the D-League? LOL.
I say give Anderson a shot at being the starter(Yi has had his shot).. maybe he'll surprise us like Lopez did when he was inserted into the starting line-up.

 

Why are you here? Don't you have anything better to do? The Knicks forum doesn't have any posters? You are quite possibly the biggest troll on these message boards and the fact that you are a global moderator is laughable.

 

YI is a center not a PF, he can't shoot 3's, he can't dribble the ball well, why should he play the pf position? he play center in cba(Chinese Basketball Association), nets use him the wrong way, he would better than lopez if he play the 5, i say it again.

 

Are you saying Yi would be better than Lopez??!??!? your kidding right?

 

We have a better record than the knicks.

 

Thats a rediculous statement. Yi has not proved he's been able to cover one low post scorer all season. He would make the worst centers in the league look like all stars on O. and would pick up 5 fouls in 1 period on de. He has no post game and most of his rebound are of the uncontested variety. Does not sound like a center or a power forward for that matter to me.

 

Yi can't defend for shit. Yi better than Lopez???LOL

 

lol, and who are you?

Not like your opinion matters, but why don't I have the right to post something which actually happened in the game?

 

Sorry bud but this isn't the CBA, and there are actual centers taller than Yi with skill in this league lol

It's your Knicks enigma, reminds me of Marbury, you've been exiled from the Nets forum

So I missed this game and I just saw the boxscore, but did Utah actually play good on the road or did the Nets have a meltdown?

 

Yi is a terrible basketball player and a waste of 7 feet. With every game he plays he continues to look like a bust. He's a decent shooter for his size and that's it. He's tall and athletic but doesn't take advantage of this and floats on the perimeter where he is semi-effective. On defense he is clearly one of the worst defenders in the league.

Brook Lopez is way better than Yi and it's not even close. I would even take Sean Williams over Yi and that's not saying much.

 

The Jazz were struggling in the first quarter and shot 3-19 from the field and only scored 7 points. That's probably close to a record for least amount of points in a quarter. The Nets were up 20 and somehow found a way to not only lose the lead but lose by double digits. Milsap was putting in work, mainly due to the Nets awful interior defense. Williams also did a nice job facilitating the offense. Korver also hit some big buckets in the 4th.
