    Well, the Nets didn't cover Paul well on his last shot and then after that it was basically foul game/3 point missing for Nets... Game over.. Paul had a bad game to 6-16 shooting.

    Denver is losing to Indiana as we speak though. :D

    We were trying to practice against the fronting defense. Thats why Lowry and Brooks were in too..so they know what to do when opponents front.

    Deke is too slow
    Hayes is too short.
    Dorsey is injured.

    They'll never front him as aggresively as an opponent. That's probably why they have problems in games, because the fronting in practice is not as aggressive.

    This would have been the perfect game to give Mutombo a ton of minutes. Get Yao out of the game. Forget this "practicing getting around fronting" thing. If you can't simulate that in practice with freaking Mutombo, one of the greatest defensive center ever, then you're in a ton of trouble.

    Good back to back. That Bulls game would have eaten at them for days if not for this game.

    Funny how, as a fan, one gets p-o'ed right after the game, but is over by the next day.

    If Toronto and Golden State can also win, this will be a delighted day. I think we still play the Hornets two more times this season, so it's not such a big deal if they won today.

    Solid win, not that big of a deal, though.

    Wednesday @ Utah, is the one I'm looking forward to.

    RA is crap, it's unfair to Yao to leave him out there embarrassing him in front of everyone,,,,trying to put the blame on him for last night's loss..

    Will U be happy if Yao goes down again in a week or two because of the stupidity of the coach? :mad:

    Adelman intended to punish Yao. This team has no hope unless changing coach.
