    There's no need to be 'worried'. If you look at his starts in other seasons he has set himself up for career shooting % across the board. He's been in the high 30's thirty games into the season the last couple of years. I'm just annoyed about the threes. He has no lift right now and he just keeps forcing them up when he can get to the rim whenever he wants.

    Harden isos is no where near effective as his runner-up MVP season. He's so much slower.

    Shots aren't falling but I disagree. Rockets are getting after the rebounds and to me are hustling.

    We are playing down to their level. Outside of Lopez, that team is filled with journey men and scrubs. Really bad 1st half.

    I think Bogdanovic is pretty solid. He could help a contender.

    Yes and no.. he's just being pretty predictable at the top of the key. He's not selling his moves

    Guy can shoot from inside or outside.

    He fits our game.

    Nah, it's a lot to do with his form. He has a one motion shot. It maximises the efficiency of his body and exerts the least amount of energy possible - which also means he gets his shot off quicker. Problem is he's not getting his legs into it enough. I really wish we could use gordon or bev to get him some easy catch and shoot looks to get him in rhythm

    I feel like Harden needs to rest a few games to regain his legs, he looks noticeably slow driving to the basket and is shooting terribly.

    Is it the A1 sauce or Kona grill that has affected his lift?

    Bart: You guys had a great half. Nets sticking around aren't they?

    Rogers: first off I told Clyde next time id do a halftime interview id smile. *grins a huge cheesy awesome smile*

    Rogers: now that I got my smile out of the way. We gotta come back in the second half and do a better job. Especially in transition. We're penetrating and missing easy shots. They're just running back at us in transition. That's the way they were able to hang around in the second quarter.

    Rogers: it's not so much about the nets. We're trying to build good habits. We've got bigger goals this year. We have to build good habits each and every night. And if you want to play late into the playoffs these are the games you have to win. And you have to get better during the game! You don't just want to win them, you want to make sure you're practicing good habits during these games.

    Bart: thank you Roy. I'll be sure to let Clyde know about the smile.

    Not wrong. Nets are the worst team in the league. We are playing at their level right now.

    In Hayesfan's defense, Lin is leading the team in +/- at +8.
