          Nets lose the game. I get frustrated again.
          I know it sounds hip, but the Knicks are from NY not Manhattan.

            Speaking of which...he's moving Kobe Bryant to the small forward spot...

              His plan is to start Jodie Meeks at the 2 and Bryant at the 3.

              Then he will sub Ron Artest in for Gasol at the 4. To close the quarter he will sub Gasol back in for Howard at the 5 so Gasol can be the only post player on the floor.

              He has already stated that Jordan Hill is out of the rotation completely. Who knows about Jamison.

                  Gasol as a post player? That sounds like progress, I guess.

                    I'd love a win so bad tonight, not because we've looked like crap...but just to shut a certain group of people up, even if it's just for one night.

                      Are Carmelo and Chandler even playing?

                      D'antoni just looks like Charlie Weiss at this point. Supposed offensive genius with a terrible looking offense, lmao. Obviously he's dealt with no Nash no Gasol but overall he is just as bad as Mike Brown. Both he and Brown are nothing more than assistants in the NBA. LA deciding to hire either of them was pretty ballsy.

                      I do blame some of this on Bryant though. He's putting up great numbers but he still holds the ball way too often for a D'antoni offense to flourish. When I say some, I mean really not that much blame. D'antoni trying to turn Gasol into Andrea Bargnani is just ridiculous. Taking Jordan Hill out of the rotation completely is highly questionable as well.

                        Who knows. If they play, then fine. If they don't, then fine. But then again, listening to the people I've had to deal with today, you wouldn't think they would need them tonight.

                        D'antoni just looks like Charlie Weiss at this point.
                        That's a slap in the face to Charlie Weis.

                          That's actually not completely horrible but I think you gotta get Jamison and Hill some time, especially Hill, dude has been nothing but productive when he's been in there.

                            Not horrible? Look at this in terms of defense. Its creating unnecessary missmatches.

                                NBA Scheduling FTL. Me and Ex have bitched enough about it but I agree this doesn't make any sense.

                                I also want to fast forward to the 2nd half of the game because in the 1st half the Nets don't do anything but give me false hope, which is something I'm used to with this team.
