nets stil winless, but pacers look listless. we go 2-9 on wednesday.

we beat pacers tonight, that's 2, we beat nets on saturday, that's 3 wins. our season could look TOTALLY different in just a few days. 3-9 is respectable, 1-9 is disgusting. and then from 3-9, you win like, 4 out of the next 5, boom, you're 8-10, that's it.

Nice surface numbers tho... but look a little deeper, Lopez went 10-27, that is not good, he took 27 shots to get 26 points.. actually that is horrible... he shot way too many jumpers and from too far out.... 37% for a center is not good.... CDR also took a lot of shots.. I know that is the best the nets have at the moment, which is also part of the problem with that team unfortunately...

Nice game for Hibbert, efficient game..

Right now he's looking a lot more like the next Rony Seikaly then the next Tim Duncan

a lot of people around here made some snap judgements on how Walsh totally butchered the draft by taking Gallo over Lopez. Lopex has shown some very nice spurts but has to show me a lot more before. He's a soft PAC10 bigman and for a guy of his size and supposed skill set he shot very poor %s in college. Most of that was shot selection but its still a problem. This year his scoring is up but his FG% is poor for a 7 footer and way down from last year. Also his #s are nice but he's just not impacting the game.

THAT'S why Gallo = Best pick of 08 draft, future all-star, maybe mvp, HoF

yea, seikaly is a good comparison right now. It was interesting a comment vince carter made about Lopez. It wasn't mean spirited at all, and I guess vince thought he was dropping a comment. but he said lopez reminds him more of a forward, since he has taken his game more to the outside.. honestly, that is not good news if you are a nets fan. You want lopez inside and on the blocks...

if he's half the man toni was, i'd be happy

btw, that ewing hook shot was awesome, to tie it up at 102. and he only took two steps, no travel. legit.

that hook shot by ewing was money.. what a luxury to have a guy like that... Take a Ewing in his prime and add him to this team, would you say we win 45 games?

take Ewing, put him on THIS TEAM, and he dishes out to Gallo all day, man. we're in the conference finals.

CDR on the other hand is very impressive. This kid has Rip Hamilton written all over him.

Hibbert? Eh. He did not impress me when he played against the Knicks so that should tell you a lot about him. Players going up against No D Lee should be able to make a highlight film everytime.

I hope you are watching tonights game. I think Hibbert is looking like he is going to be a good player for along time.
