Joe Netsfan | Backlash 2005



				Backlash #12 - July 12, 2006 Drafting A Rookie Proposal New! In the very last Backlash of the season (and the first since January, you slacker Joe!), thoughts are on the draft, the impact of the rookies, other rookie free agents and veteran free agents, and lots of praise for the Thorn/Stefanski performance on draft night. Are Williams, Boone and Hassan the answer for a thin bench? Joe tackles the issue with you, dear readers...Read on... Backlash #11 - January 5, 2006 Miracle Worker Needed? Finally! A new Backlash! And it comes amidst a Net eight game winning streak - yet you pretty much believe that all is lost, doom and gloom stuff, and a miracle worker is needed to improve the Nets' fortunes...Strange how Netsfan-like your behavior truly is, thinks Joe...Read on... Backlash #10 - October 18, 2005 LJ III And Me Linton Johnson and Joe - perfect together? Joe's taking some heat for his snap decision on LJ III, plus more feedback on the Nets first showing last week, faith in the Nets, faith in the Knicks, do you trade for George Lynch responses, and where in the world is Kerry Kittles these days? An active mailbag...Read on... Backlash #9 - October 5, 2005 The Tiring Ride Of The Offseason What's on your mind as training camp starts? Well, you're still clearly not over the SAR fiasco, out-of-the-box thinking, the draft record of Thorn, keys to the Nets success this season, Marc Jackson hating, and so much more...Read on... Backlash #8 - September 13, 2005 The Winner Within More off-season musings from Netsfans, including some positive feelings about the current roster, deep thoughts on the Eastern Conference, lots of dreaming of KMart and LeBron, and more! Read on... Backlash #7 - September 7, 2005 The Eastern Conference According To 'Nut OK, Netsfans, the calendar has turned to September, but you're still not impressed by the Nets off-season moves. Well, have no fear - NetsNut is back to explain to all of us how the Nets will rise to the upper reaches of the Eastern Conference. Plus, you are still very unhappy overall with the Nets strange off-season, pining for everyone and everything from Chris Wilcox, a big man, a pre-physical physical for all potential Nets, Gerald Green, Stromile Swift, the ghosts of SAR and Tractor Traylor, and even the trading of Jason Kidd for a big man (and to open up a spot for Jeff McInnis). Are we a desperate lot or what? Read on... Backlash #6 - August 23, 2005 'Nut Gains Cleaning out the mail bag before headed back to vacation (don't ask), Joe finds this missive from - who else? - the long-since-missing NetsNut, who schools us (with all the usual pomp and circumstance) on what comes next. The rest of the bag? More SAR talk, replacement forwards, the usual hopes and dreams of Netsfans, Thorn loving, uniform critiques, and more pleas for Jason Collins to come off the bench in '05 - '06. Read on... Backlash #5 - August 19, 2005 Power Forward Pickup Games Lots of thoughts on the state of the Nets here in mid-August, including the aborted SAR sign-and-trade, McInnis, free agent possibilities, Rod Thorn's motives, ways to replace a power forward, and questions, questions, questions. Overall, you're not thrilled with the latest doings in Nets-land...Read on... Backlash #4 - August 10, 2005 Dollars And Sense While waiting for resolution on the Shareef Abdur Rahim trade situation, Joe held off on publishing the latest Backlash, figuring it would be worked out in a positive manner and the praise for Rod Thorn could continue. Wrong again. Turns out, not everyone liked the idea anyway, and since the trade has fallen through, the pre-trade comments are certainly interesting to review. In the first of two Backlashes, you're on both sides of the issue...Read on... Backlash #3 - August 2, 2005 I'll Drink To That/The Genius Of Rod The early returns are in - Rod Thorn is back on the platform of greatness, according to Netsfans. With the theft of Jeff McInnis to add to the off-season collection, Netsfans are practically giddy with anticipation for the season to come! Read on... Backlash #2 - July 28, 2005 Boo Is True For SAR In our latest Backlash, you're happy that Shareef Abdur-Rahim is a Net, but you've got opinions on seemingly every other free agent out there. Lots and lots of thoughts on Steven Hunter, Juan Dixon, Dale Davis, Damon Stoudamire, Milt Palacio, Dan Dickau, Gary Payton and more! Plus, what to do with Zoran Planinic? Read on... Backlash #1 - July 17, 2005 Wright Is Right The first Backlash of the '05 - '06 seaon is much like the last one from last season: what about Antoine Wright, Shareef Abdur Rahim, Stromile Swift, Veal Scalabrine and Joel Przybilla of all people? Oh, what are Rod Thorn and Ed Stefanski to do with the cards they're being dealt? Read on...
