You would think after starting the season with eight consecutive losses these games would start to hurt less, but that’s just not the case. The Nets, who for the second straight game dressed only eight guys, are playing with so much heart right now. Unfortunately, there’s just too ...
Game 8 Preview Vs. Philadelphia 76ers
netsarescorching.com 11/11/2009 — One more step. That’s all the Nets need to take to get a win tonight. They went from not playing well in the third quarter to not playing well in the 4th. Some of it probably has to do with the fact that they are only dressing eight players, so three days of rest probably did wonders ...
Thoughts on the Game: Nets’ Best Not Enough
netsarescorching.com 11/7/2009 — For most of the game, especially in the third quarter, I was waiting for a collapse that never came. The Nets kept the Sixers close throughout, leading most of the second half. A half where the Nets shortened their bench to 5 players. After Courtney Lee got hurt, the already thin Nets were ...
Game 6 Preview Vs. Philadelphia 76ers
netsarescorching.com 11/6/2009 — One strange thing that I have noticed in terms of the Nets schedule is that they have played a pretty front loaded schedule. The Nets are already playing their 6th game, while the Sixers are on their fifth. Tomorrow will be their second home/away back-to-back game. With all of the injuries, ...

In recent weeks, the injury-ravaged Nets have done a pretty good impression of a scrappy, hard-luck team that was falling just short of success. Last night, their play from the opening tip was ...

Talking Health and PER
netsarescorching.com 11/13/2009 — While the Nets 0-8 start to the season is a pretty definitive indicator as to how the rash of injuries is affecting the team’s performance, there are some advanced statistics out there that really hammer home what happens when a team is forced to either play guys out of position, or give ...
Video Breakdown: Game 7 vs. Boston
netsarescorching.com 11/11/2009 — The Video Breakdowns took a little break because I was unable to get my hands on game video for the past couple games, but I was able to get video from the Boston game, so I thought I would hit you with a breakdown. I gave it a few days, because I was high on the Nets’ performance right ...

You have to feel for Nets fans. With the team dressing just 8 players, their team played with heart and never gave up, but at the end of the game, they were still 0-7.
We might go 0-82. Yeah, we might. One night we score 68 pts, the next ...

They were all set to chill the champagne, ready the confetti and prep the Canyon of Heroes. V-NJ was about to arrive. Victory in New Jersey Day. Get that famous picture of the sailor kissing the young lady in Times Square ready.
