What do you take from that?

i take from it that they're both good players.

I take that lee should not have taken 20 shots and should have been looking to outwork lopez and keep him off the board.. lees 24 points were useless in that, we could have gotten some of those points from chandler... we needed lee to keep lopez out of the lane... make him work hard... lee trying to be a main option offensively in a game like this is not necessary.

David Lee is playing to get paid. His late stat padding was quite humorous. I cant hate the guy for wanting to cash in though. My issue is he is abusing slower Centers but I'd like to see him against other PF's since he isn't our center of the future.

Curry, Hill, or Darko should have gotten some run tonight. Hill should have seen some minutes at least in the fourth quarter.

an inconsistent player...

I am not sure about Yi being inconsistent. If you are willing to give Gallo a chance I think you have to do the same for Yi. I watch alot of Net games and Yi played really well the first couple of games this year but then missed 20+. I have heard that part of his improvement is his increased understanding of English compared to a year ago. He looked like the guy in the highlights they showed at the draft three years ago tonight.

Well you may be right
But this POS(hit) Coach D'Antoni respects and states is one of his best players and leaders.
Go figure the coach. Duhon does alot wrong and is at most a 2nd backup PG at best.

king 1 dead on as usual. The Nets are enormous and skilled upfront--how can we defend that when their guards are also big and athletic? You can see where the Nets have a future just as much or more than the Knicks.

this game seemed like some bad calls, some hot shooting by the nets and the team had no legs on the second half of a back to back.

i think the main thing to take away from all that is that rotation is too short - we need size? why isn't jordan hill playing? why didn't toney play more? and, of course, if we need a spark on offense there's that nate guy. i know the tighter rotation has helped the team play better - but it will wear them down by february. remember duhon breaking down last year? get ready, it's going to happen more.

Jobbed by the refs--go watch the last 2 seconds of the Uconn game.

I watch a lot of nets games as well. I gave Yi two full years, I used to root for this guy, but I have come to the conclusion that he will give you a few nice games and a bunch of head scratchers.... he is not a smart player and plays smaller than his size.... Maybe he is starting to get his stuff together. I will admit if I am wrong, but I have been down this road with this guy before..
