Devil Is In The Details
Netsfans,
Well, I'm not going to take up much of your time tonight. I'll get my thoughts into a diatribe tonight and tomorrow and get it posted as soon as possible.
But after watching last night's performance against the league's worst, I'm no longer wondering about these Nets and their uneven performances.
I expect it to be a regular occurance. As long as they continue to insist on settling for outside jumpers, or rely on Carter to play 1 -on - 4 to get points.
As long as they insist on looking clueless on defense, on having a shaky bunch of role players, and as long as they continue to insist that they're just getting to know each other.
They don't run and take advantage of Kidd's strengths like they used to.
They don't play fierce defense like they used to , the kind that forces turnovers and creates opportunities in transition.
They don't have anyone other than Krstic to force the ball inside (and the other guy they have, Marc Jackson, can't get court time because of suspect defense).
All these little details that frankly ain't so little anymore.
Find a big man. Patch up the defense. Make better use of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson. Find a consistent bunch off the bench (try some different combos, what can you lose, L-Frank?).
More to follow. But you get the point.

There always has to be a fall guy to every situation but coach frank is not the fall guy, coach frank seems to be the problem here. I agree with you. He is not making good use of the bench. He hasnt made any drastic changes. Padgett and Murray are spectators being paid to watch the game from the sidelines. There is no zing right now. A coach is a catalyst who facilitates reactions and plays, frank doesnt seem to have the right effect on the players.He is certainly not using the strengths of the time be it the starters or the bench. It is getting to be a stale situation and someone has to pick the baton from here. There is a need for a different pespective. I feel that he needs to let go, be a little adventerous and experiment a little.
I agree that the offense needs to originate from Kidd. Whats the god damn point with Carter running plays. He does not have the momentum to push the ball and catch the opposition early in their defensive set.
They all need to run. Run like how Kittles used to. He got off like an antelope on heat.
Did L Frank read your blog and my comments?
