The Impact Of Vince Carter’s Departure
by Sebastian Pruiti
Sep 14, 2009 Analysis, Videos, Vince Carter
I know Vince Carter has been gone for a little while now, but I finally got around to watching some of the Nets’ game from last year, and I was able to pull together some clips that show what the Nets will be missing without Vince Carter, both the good and the bad.
Now I like using videos like this. It allows for everyone to see what is going on rather than you just reading about it. For example if I say Vince Carter didn’t really play defense aggressively, that could mean a number of things. However, when I say that and include video examples you guys know what I am talking about.
Look forward to more of this kind of stuff as the season approaches and during the season.

Sebastian…
great work with this man. More stuff like this will really set your site apart from Netsdaily even though I really like that site.
You make a great point that people really do like to see footage examples.
It would be great if you could cover some of the new Nets, Brook, and CDR with video footage.
Great stuff man.
Respect.
You gonna be goin to Nets Open House when the free tickets are available?

Good work man, it’s good to have a visual instead of just describing the fact and putting it into words. Like the person earlier said, it’s cool how you and Mark are differentiating yourselves ffrom other nets and sports sites in general

wonderful post. not a single thing i would change. however i feel like it needs to be said that there will be little to zero lack of certainty in who will be taking the clutch shots next year. watching most nets games either at izod center or on tv i would like to note that for every amazing 3 carter pulled off, devin harris had an equally amazing drive or pullup jumper to win a game. and he still hasnt reached his peek. look for him to be fighting for the starting spot in the all star game next year.

when you have players like Hassel, Yi and Harris (not a good 3pt shooter otherwise great)waiting at 3…what do you expect? it`s logic why he didn`t pass then…good luck nets next season.

Awesome, awesome post. I’d love to see more of these.

Isn’t it true that besides Harris
and Carter the nets were kind of tink offensively. Leaving Carter
alway’s getting double teamed?
If this is true, then I can understand why his motivation to play defense would diminish. Years before, during the jason kid day’s would be the films I would want to see. That might be an indication of what Carter can do, if he’s not bearing the brunt of being the sole scorer. What does he do on defense then?

Thanks for the comment Domprime. That would be something very interesting to look at, and it could be something we investigate in the future. For the purpose of this post it doesn’t make sense. My goal was to see what the impact of him leaving would do for next year’s team. So it only makes sense to use video from last year.
Again, this wasn’t just to point out Carter’s flaws or anything like that, this was just to see how he impacted the Nets.

Brook Lopez is a soft center? Really? That just shows your knowledge of the game right there. If you could understand what I was saying, I never said Vince Carter played poorly for the Nets. I am a big Vince fan, I hope he gets a championship in Orlando if the Nets aren't in it. I simply broke down what I see is going to happen to the Nets now that he is gone. That's all…you have blinders on thinking everything is a knock on Vince when it isn't…clever user name by the way…had to change it though, no cursing is allowed…

you try to explain the game and sound like your a true analyst. if you felt like carter isnt much of a loss for the nets then try imagining where the nets would be post kidd and jeferson. he sacrificed a season playing for a bad team, making it float in the standings instead getting a sweet deal with other winning teams. dont blame carter if he has a ball hog for a point guard, a soft center and weak wing men.
and please dont try to sound all knowingly. watch more games so you can grab hold of how the game really is.
