Hey Nets... you better hope Karma ain't lookin' tomorrow

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:20:48 -0500

Lawrence Frank, whose New Jersey Nets are off to one of the worst starts in history, won't be able to keep his job. It’s expected that Nets president Rod Thorn will inform Frank early in the week, most likely on Monday. The plan is for Nets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe to take over as interim coach, but there is still some support within the organization for veteran assistant John Loyer. The new coach is expected to be on the bench when the Nets play host to the Dallas Maverick...

Kings Hold Off Nets 109-96

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:38:10 -0500

More photos » by Steve Yeater - AP Browse more photos » When Lawrence Frank went to the Hack-a-Jew strategy, intentionally putting Omri Casspi on the free throw line late in the fourth quarter with the winless Nets down by three possessions, I knew this game had ended. It was spooky until then, with New Jersey quickly erasing Sacramento's 17-point halftime lead to get the game within two possessions in the third qu...

Chris Douglas-Roberts Brook Lopez Courtney Lee If you said "The girls from the Channel 7 Eyewitness Reports Squad" you're wrong! They're actually NBA players.

Not a good night for a couple former UCONN Huskies

First Hasheem Thabeet breaks his jaw on fat Zach Randolph’s head, and then Rudy Gay gets posterized by Travis Outlaw. Hopefully Josh Boone can exact revenge for everyone!

Pickup of the Night: March 28

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 12:34:10 -0500

JOSH BOONE That's twice this week, but he has earned it. In 35 minutes, he recorded 15 points and 16 boards. But the amazing thing is the 6-8 from the field and equally good 3-4 from the line. Not too bad for a guy that usually kills you from the free throw stripe. Oh, and by the way, my mancrush Devin Harris had a huge night: 27 points, 4 threes, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists. He looks much better in a Nets uniform than he ever did in Big D.

Pickup of the Night: March 26

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:26:34 -0500

JOSH BOONE 26 points on 9-12 from the field. 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. I only wish he didn't shoot 50% from the line in 16 shots. 16 SHOTS!!! I'm glad I picked him up recently since he has been playing a lot more in the power forward role. He definitely validated the 32 minutes he got tonight. I'm just hoping he does not cost me free throws at the end of the week.

Pickup of the Night: March 15

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 04:13:10 -0500

DARIUS SONGAILA (Was, PF) Songaila moved into the starting lineup yesterday after Brendan Haywood did not play because of a left patella tendon strain. In his last 5 games Songaila has seen extra minutes and it has helped him average around 12 points, 5 boards, 3 assists and 1.5 steals on above-average percentages. Depending how long Haywood is out, Darius might get some quality minutes. Pick this guy up if Haywood's out for an extended period of time. Seems like Washington will use Song...

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 22:16:10 -0500

Glen Davis had one good game against a tough opponent. But we urge you to look at the body of work before adding a fantasy player like Davis. Especially when Josh Boone is a much better add right now.
