COUNTDOWN CLOCK The bad loss against the Raptors 104-116 minus Brook Lopez (rest) exposed the Nets biggest weakness in defense even more. The Raptors scored in the paint with ease without reliable big men to challenge the shots. For all his reputation of playing more offense than defense, Brook Lopez can still alters and blocks shots in the paint more than Scola and Justin Hamilton can do. The lac... »
COUNTDOWN CLOCK The Nets dropped a winnable game against the 76ers 107-108 and this one hurt a lot. The coach’s decision to start rookie backcourt (Whitehead and LeVert) in the start of 4th quarter proved to be very costly in allowing 13-0 run by the 76ers and they took an 8pt-lead. Coaches would need to get better in game-management and quick adjustment not to allow huge runs that can swing... »
COUNTDOWN CLOCK The Nets almost stole the win on the road against the Orlando Magic but they committed too many fouls in the 4th quarter and lost the game 111-118.

He would need to start soon to set the tone for his team and play 28-32 mi... »

With limited 20 minutes, he still contributed 10pts, 7assists, 1 block, 1 steal in a 118-122 loss. The Nets almost pulled it off but late-game execution and questionable non-calls by the refs derailed the comeback. The Nets looked li... »
Finally, Jeremy Lin announced he will return to the Nets lineup tonight with limited minutes against his old team, Houston Rockets! We should not expect too much from Jeremy Lin as he will need to get back to game-conditioning and be careful not to aggravate his hamstring injury. But the Nets would certainly get a boost in their plays with their veteran leader back on the floor. Nets guard Jeremy... »
