Time Stands Still
Or, at least Joe wishes it would.
Far behind on my Joe work, looking at pulling an all-nighter one of these off-nights before Saturday's game, and not looking forward to it. Oh, I don't mind the workload, or putting together the content, it's the rest of life that gets in the way.
Say tonight for example, where Joe had to attend a dinner function that was not exactly high on his wish list. Away from everything else, and missing some of that Knicks/Lakers game to boot (hey, when you're an NBA junkie, you'll watch damned near anything).
But I promise, I'll try to catch up as much as I can before the weekend.
Of course, next week is Thanksgiving week, plus that West Coast trip that kills me for staying timely, so all of the effort ahead will probably be for naught anyway.
Next week's roadtrip will be a bear for Joe - no one to cover Wednesday night's Sacto/SAR game since Joe will be away having a life for a few days, plus all those other late nights to come. Hey, if you want to put together a game review for me on the Sacto game, please email me (joe@joenetsfan.com) and I'll get it posted either when I return or get it to Champy for posting.
Oh, the state of the Nets, you say? Well, while last night was encouraging in that "any win is a good win" school, I'm not convinced they would beat 15 NBA teams with the overall effort from last night. And that's not a putdown as much as it is a fact that the Nets defense just isn't there yet. But it's showing signs.
Carter containing Ray Allen was the story of the day, but was this really true, or did Allen just have a poor shooting night (mine eyes saw more of the latter, but drop me a line and convince me otherwise)? RJ had issues with Rashard Lewis, but I guess he did shut him down in the fourth quarter when it was necessary.
And really, are we going to have problems with Lamond Murray this year? He said it himself: after 3 coaches do the same thing (healthy DNP) to you, you wonder if it's you...
I can't tell you what Lawrence Frank is thinking, but from my brief glimpse at him, the "team game" aspect, as well as "defense" appear to be concepts that have eluded him. But I could be over-simplifying that...
That's it for tonight. Drive safe, and see you around these parts tomorrow (when I have more IQ points to talk NBA basketball more intelligently).
