The nets are not crying because RJ and vince are redundant anyway.. Vince and kidd can carry that team, they could certaintly carry our team if we had them.....

What a swing and a miss with this exuse. Uhhhhh Jeffries, James, Francis, are more redundant on this team than Carter and R.J. for the Nets. You also don't hear the Grizz complaining about not having Gasol.

man, get over yourself. Jeffries is not redundant since he is considered a defensive player, something we never had at the SF position with his size. Francis and James? who is complaining about them being out as a reason for our woes? Carter and Jefferson are pretty much the same player and both are really good players, the nets losing one is not goint to hurt as much since vince is already a allstar caliber player doing the same things jefferson is..... What the hell are you talking about?


Q plays defense or do you not call what he did against MacGrady defense? Q by a wide Margin blows Jeffries out of the water offensively. Is Q not considered a SF on this team by you? Carter and Jefferson are both similar when it comes to athleticism to a degree but Carter's offensive game is wide spread across the court, far more versatile meanwhile Jefferson's is limited. Not to mention having both allows them to play an open court game more easily. Jefferson is superior in defense to Carter. Since when is losing a bonafied starter on a team not considered a valid reason to complain? Although Jefferies was more than likely the Knick starter can anyone argue that he should start over Q? Matter of fact when he gets healthy he JJ should come off the bench because the backcourt and interior froncourt is what's so pathetic on this team.


Also LOL At liking to hear your ownself talk "Mr. Let Me Post My(TKF's) Keys To Loss For Every Game on Multiple Boards"

I still don't know how anyone really can say how much NJ is or isn't saying about RJ. It's not like he's been gone for a the whole season so far. NJ has only played 5 games and a VERY lite schedule. You can't even begin to compare what we've had to go thru to them. PLUS they were already a better team to begin with. This is just more SELF HATE from Knick fans who LOVE to HATE on their own team. Why not spend more energy looking at the positives and what we can possibly do to get better like GOOD FANS DO!

We just got finished playing 5 road games and 2 against the team many think will be in the finals, SA. So far we haven't really had anything go right, but there's been some good signs. Q is playing great, Lee as well. We've seen the team at least fight to get back in games and not just laydown. Nate has looked good. Balkman and Collins have had some good minutes and look like the kind of defenders we can depend on in the future. GEEZ tho we've had some losses, there are some good things to talk about as well.

I agree with you 100%. And I too cannot wait for the conditions to be perfect here for us to go on a win streak.
I just hope that people will like me

Its pretty ridiculous to say that Carter and Jefferson are similar players. They are nowhere close to being similar. The only thing they have in common is their athletic ability. Thats it. Carter on the offensive end can pretty do anything he wants. Jefferson is a slasher whose strength is taking it to the basket. He is also a far superior player in the transition game than Carter is whose preference is to take a 3 in transition unlike Jefferson who finishes at the basket. Jefferson is a better defender and a slightly better rebounder. They both bring different things to the table.

How are RJ and Vince redundant? Because they are both athletic stars? RJ is a better finisher while Vince is probably a better iso/perimeter threat.


they are redundant, both play a very similar game, very similar they do the same things on the court for the nets..... and jefferson the better finisher?? LOL... I know you really don't mean that... Have you seen vince's highlight reels? he is as good a finisher there is in this league....

What does Vince being a highlight reel dunker have to do with him being a good finisher? Do you watch Vince play at all? Vince is a great all around player, but he spends a lot of time hanging out on the perimeter. RJ runs the break better. It's that simple.

I think once we stop playing good teams and our guys are able to regroup and feel better about themselves we will be fine. Basketball is a mental game and right now with all the difficult teams that we are playing and the injuries that we are having to endure it is difficult to stay focused. I think once Stevie gets back and JJ returns a month or so from now the conditions will be perfect for us to make our run. Unless of course we have more injuries than of course the conditions wouldn't be perfect for us. But have no fear, at that point we can just wait until that next player gets back from injury before we start expecting things.

What you don't understand is that during that 6 game winning streak the conditions were perfect for us to win. Then the conditions changed and that is why we lost. All we have to do is be patient and wait for the conditions to go back to what they were during that 6 game winning streak and we will be fine. Anyone remember what those conditions were? Because we really need those.

the conditions were David Lee was starting games, & Marbury was playing at the top of his game... the 1st part is very attainable w/a simple coaching decision... it's the second one that's the tricky part.

LOL... yea you are right.. they are nothing alike, besides the fact that they both run the floor, both are good finishers, both play the same position, both are very athletic... yea... No similarities at all.... Geez!!!

you pretty much explained why Q and jeffries are not redundant.. first of all Q is better suited at the SG position, while Jeffries is a true SF.. He has more size and is really more of a defensive player than Q. Although Q is a good defender he is also a good offensive player, having both of them on the floor for the knicks IMO would make the knicks a better team by far. So I don't see how you say Q and Jeffries are redundant... thanks for making my argument for me...

What? Jefferson is out for two months???

There goes my fantasy team. Brad Miller goes down, and now RJ is gone. This sucks. I hate fantasy league basketball.

or use excuses, they go out there and win? RJ is better than any current knick--i know some people make Jared jefferies out to be lebron james , but imagine if we lost a caliber of player like that? It's part of the nba and you have to deal with it, like the old knicks use to--players *step up* instead of making excuses.

The whole question is based on the premise that the two teams are equal. They are not. The Nets are better and are better able to sustain an injury.
I don't hear anyone complaining. The coach is suppose to stand up for his players. If he thinks his player got hurt on a boarderline dirty play what should he do? The Knicks of the 90's would do what Isiah did and then retaliated just to make sure you know why. From a coach's spot that's about as old school as you can get.

Carter is a better ball handler, finishes better, takes the game over more often, and is a great passer that can get people involved, not to mention having a better outside shot, so they are no that similiar.

RJ is a 3 Vince is a 2, RJ isn't in the same league creating his own shot like Vince

Ill give you good finisher but other things you said are not even close. Jefferson is strictly a 3. Carter is a 2. They both do not play the same position. Jefferson cannot shoot the ball well enough to be a SHOOTING guard. And they both dont run the floor either. Vince Carter is probably the worst transition player on the Nets. He DOES NOT run the floor. Watch the games before you talk about someone.

you pretty much explained why Q and jeffries are not redundant.. first of all Q is better suited at the SG position, while Jeffries is a true SF.. He has more size and is really more of a defensive player than Q. Although Q is a good defender he is also a good offensive player, having both of them on the floor for the knicks IMO would make the knicks a better team by far. So I don't see how you say Q and Jeffries are redundant... thanks for making my argument for me...

I'm looking at it from a more intellectual standpoint of how this team is structured, needs, and utilization. If Q wasn't in the starting line-up as the starting small forward the team would be down by 40pts after 2qrts. The team has 5 gaurds Nate, Chokebury, Francis, Jamal, Collins(another position that's redundant) so Nooooooo Q is better suited as the SF on this team plus he stretches the D on the perimeter with his shooting, Jeffries provides 1 thing actually which is supposed defense, although it's overrated. With the addition of Balkman(and you could even argue Lee) who provides the same thing, who appears to be just as good as Jeffries if given the playing time makes Jeffries redundant on this team at the SF position. This team isn't getting killed by opposing teams SF's, it's getting killed by gaurd/backcourt & interior/frontcourt play offensively and defensively.
