At The Quarter Pole, Stop The Madness
Returned home from the Rangers-Devils game at the Garden in time to watch the last 15 minutes of the Nets - Wiz. Just in time, in fact, for the Nets to choke the rest of their lead back, and give up the ghost to Caron Butler and company in a badly executed fourth quarter.
The reverse of what's usually happened, in other words...
This is a bad team. At the quarter pole, they are 9 - 12 and going nowhere but backwards. The Nets were pathetically unable to get a fourth quarter stop or do anything on offense, against a team that isn't any better than they are but sure as hell played like it.
A bad night for Richard Jefferson didn't matters. He couldn't get to the line, whether he wasn't getting calls or there was something else going on I'll have to check out when I get to watch the game tape.
OH, and what was the Nets record after 21 games last year? Yep, you guessed it - 9 - 12. Ugh.
I have to tell all you Netsfans that I am actually getting tired of watching this team, so let's hope that changes are coming. And soon.
If this team, as presently put together, continues to play out the string I might get physically ill.
I'll have more to come on all of this, but let me finish catching up and get the Rockets game written up.
Stop the madness, already.

I have contended for a while that Jason Collins would be an equally effective player if he had no arms. I'm usually the last guy to put the blame for losing on a coach in the NBA, but Lawrence Frank is killing the Nets with his dreadful roster management. He waits entirely too long for players to earn his trust, which is why Nachbar barely got any PT until the second half of last year, why a season of Eddie House's shooting was wasted. I was at the game tonight to watch the Nets squander a comfortable lead and some great shooting from VC, as they were shredded down low by Darius Songaila of all people. While he and the other Wizards had their way with Collins and the equally underwhelming Boone, Sean Williams sat on the bench without registering a minute on the court all night. (sorry-long post, but they are frustrating to watch.) Oh! And you can't tell me Frank can't find a bigger role for Magliore.
