damn i missed this game due to the early start...but i gotta say i'm impressed with this group's attitude and approach. It's been a while since the team went out and beat teams they were suppose to consistently. Every game lately has been a focused approach and the record reflects that.
There´s no reason with Dragic, Hill & Patterson playing great and having Harris to have the starters this many minutes.
Brook Lopez destroyed him. Even the Nets announcers commented on how Brook couldn't do anything w/ 6-6 Chuck Hayes but owned 6-10 Jordan Hill. We need a defensive upgrade there. Hope Thabeet develops.
Didn't watch most of the game, but I saw there was some garbage time and Twill did not play... Injured? Or is it pretty much done for him?
I'm a Net fan but Kyle Lowry is my favorite player so I've also been rooting for the Houston Rockets the past few years. Ian Eagle, the play-the-play announcer, is one of the best around. He also does NFL games and March Madness on CBS. The Houston Rockets are a great, fun team to watch and I will be watching them till the end of the season hoping they make the playoffs.
Don't think Squiddy was with the team today, probably still recovering from his medical condition. He probably would've gotten minutes at the end there, too bad for him.
I hate how people continue to whine about this crap every single game. Ranks in MPG at their position Lowry - 13th Martin - 13th Scola - 18th Hayes - 16th Will you please shut up about minutes. Lowry leads the team in minutes per game and he is 56th overall in the NBA. Rick gives our players plenty of rest relative to the rest of the league. Sure adelman leaves some guys out their too long SOMETIMES, but overall I think he does pretty well with minute distribution.
Good games from our young front-line players, PF Patrick Patterson with 13pts and 8 reb in 22 minutes and C Jordan Hill 11pts and 8 reb in 15 minutes, off the bench.
DM just tweeted: "Amazing run for the players & coaches - since 2/24 we have been 11-4 w/the best offense & 11th best defense (5th off/23rd def prior to 2/24)" I thought our defense had been better--but 11th best since trade deadline? And we are #1 in offense? WOW!
