Re: Nets fans, unite! That we'll never, ever, read anything again written by that moron that is Charley Rosen?"Why Renton? Why?"I hear you, people, I hear you. Well, because that dude is so damn negative everytime, it's not even funny anymore. I can't take him seriously anymore.After this quote I'm gonna post here, from an article he recently wrote on foxsports.com, I'm done with this guy:The guards: Jason Kidd has slowed noticeably since his knee surgery but remains a ferocious competitor. Because of his savvy and unselfishness, the Nets running game will remain a threat, if not the devastating weapon it once was. Eddie House is strictly a streak shooter. Marcus Williams is a talented rookie who will get a cram course in how to run an offense. Vince Carter would rather play one-on-one than ride the crest of a fast break. Too bad he's an erratic shooter, a reluctant (and poor) passer and, when the chips are down, a choker. Bostjan Nachbar is a career third-stringer who'll likely get more minutes than he deserves.The forwards: With Kidd's increasingly wobbly legs, Richard Jefferson has to do most of his scoring in half-court sets, where he's plagued with a suspect jumper and a penchant for turnovers. However, RJ is the team's best all-around defender. Behind Jefferson is the cold-shooting, mishandling efforts of young Antoine Wright. Jason Collins sets diligent screens, bangs with the bigs, is always in foul trouble, hits an occasional jumper and snags an occasional rebound. He's a classic backup who's been forced to play starter's minutes. Cliff Robinson can knock down treys and be in the right places at the right times. Mikki Moore is another career scrub whose forte is running and jumping.The centers: Nenad Krstic plays hard, knocks down mid-range jumpers, forcefully takes his right hand into the middle and enjoins the battle of the boards. Too bad he's prone to committing egregious fouls and his left hand remains woefully under-developed. Mile Ilic is a long-range project.The outlook: Despite J-Kidd's decline, Carter's disinclination and a short bench, Lawrence Frank's game plan calls for perpetual fast breaks. If the modus doesn't quite fit the operandi, the Nets are still the best of the worst. However, if they don't survive the second round of the playoffs, it'll be time to back up the truck and make wholesale roster changes.Charley Rosen: you must be the worst sportswriter out there.
Re: Nets fans, unite! AHAHA. While what he said was extremely blunt. I dont think he is too far off the mark. I dont agree with his VC oppinions but the rest are pretty good. Jkidd is declining, not as fast as he makes out but he is none the less. JCollins does play alot of minutes considering his limited skills. Krystic, may be the future of the Nets to a degree, but the off hand of his is GOD AWLUL.As mean and harsh as it seems his analysis is prettty good. Having said that the nets will be good this year but they dont have long to do something
Re: Nets fans, unite! <span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">Damn... That was a horrible review of the team. First and foremost, VC can play ball. JKidd, though getting older, still remains top 3 PGs in the league and top 5 of all time (PGs). RJ does have a suspect jumper, which is why he takes the ball in most of the time. Jason Collins should be given limited playing time, as in off-the-bench minutes, but there isn't anyone else to fill his shoes. Cliff Robinson is too old to start 35 minutes per game.Basically, that article was BS.</span>
