Agreed with Nigu, Yi’s D was not bad at all. He had 2 nice blocks and got totally screwed last night by the refs so he was playing with 4-5 fouls for much of the game. Offensively, the guy was just flat out solid. Brook’s D last night was pitiful. He was letting Bogut own him everytime he touched the ball in the post.

Watching Najera play basketball is extremely painful.

He killed he Nets when he played against us and he’s killing us now.

a) DJ – I totally agree on your first post, I’ve wanted Reddick since the Magic trade.

b) Nice to see Hayes back, no clue what the Williams boys have to do to see the court.

c) If you truly want to trade Najera here’s a thought – don’t let anyone see how much he s*cks.

This is the reality…. Najera was showcased last night, at the expense of the game. I’m not saying he lost us the game, but when we started to lose our lead in the 1st qtr, we were still hanging in, then Najera came in, and things went south quickly. I can’t help but feel that some players have resentment. Just how we notice who should get playing time, the players KNOW who should, and can affect them just the same. Now I really hope mgmt. didn’t screw up a trade with Dallas et al, because Najera showed what he really is, a scrub. There can be talk about leaders, but he’s not one of them, I’m sorry, you can’t convince me of that. Right now our servicable guys are Lopez, Yi, and CDR. Yes Yi. Get over it people, he’s not going anywhere, and for those of you say he’s soft….he’s been playing with the most heart these past few games. I invite you to name me someone (CDR) who’s played with more conviction. Kiki needs to; A. Let Del Harris take over, B. Let Tom Barisse take over (he deserves a valid opportunity). Winnable games are few and far between for this team. Last night was one of them. I understand the NBA is a business, and no other team has made that more apparent then the Nets. However, when you showcase a player, at the cost of a win, your fans’ agita, and possible developing chemistry of your team, that’s when a business move becomes a damaging move. Najera better have played his last game as a Net. I still think him, Boone, and Quin are not nets by the trade deadline, but this just hurt. I hope they know what they are doing. One thing was for sure…it was HILARIOUS seeing Najera labor down the court on that fast break, head bobbing like a chicken.

I loved jenning high top fade!
I don’t know why that style went away.
Anyways, this team looks so easy to coach on offense.
Yi high post, Brook down low, 3 small players RUN around the court to make space.
Brook and Yi could both average 20 and 10.
Too much dribbling,not enough movement.
I would be pissed if I were Brook, being called the future and not getting the ball. Meanwhile you are playing Najera?
The players know what’s going on. Management doesn’t want to win.
That’s why the effort isn’t there.
Brook is probably the only player guarunteed to come back. The rest are playing for self. Excluding CDR.
Brook needs to be the captain of this team.
Brook needs to be more vocal on the floor and to kiki.
DH shouldn’t be calling plays.
DH should be playing his heart out, knowing john wall maybe coming.
I’m just disgusted and ranting

I can’t believe I sat in the stands for 48 minutes. This was worse than the Denver loss because at least at that time you could say our starters were hurt.
When you are down 20 points and the team has quit, there is no reason Kiki shouldn’t throw in T-Will or Shawn Williams, I mean it can’t get worse!
Kiki looks like he could care less on the sidelines, which is something that was never said about Frank. Brook looks scared to post up, Devin can’t shoot beyond the paint it seems, and also spends more time on the ground flopping than controling the offense…UGH…oh and I could score 15 on Yi’s pathetic defense…why do I renew my Nets season tix again?

Rediculous. Period.
Brook didn’t get the ball
CDR didn’t get it
There are some players that don’t deserve to touch the ball
Is DH playing blindfolded? Out played by a rookie! Again!
KiKi is tryin to lose. That’s the only conclusion I can come up with.
TWill got no time when the Nets were getting burned
Hassel BS and Najera need to be glued to the bench.
Buying out rafer makes the VC trade look bad but Lee makes the trade looks horrible, even though VC has been stinkin it up lately.
Chris Quinn? Why? Losing a trade exception for what?
JJ Reddick would have been a pickup.
Pietrus looks better than Lee too.
Maybe the Nets will have a good game in ATL,DH had some great games last year in ATL
