NBA · ot - nets have the best backcourt in the nba (page 1)

vince is a really good player.

devin is playing like the best pg in the east. they took cuban/nelson to islesfan's aunt's cleaners...and then to tms's cousin's cleaners just to make sure...

and they are over .500 beating teams on the road including the western conference.

thorn/kiki = best front office in the league?

hopefully the Knicks can get dj's relatives to drive Marbury to the airport.

i mean seriously, how dominating is devin harris right now? he's in his 3rd year and he's scoring at will.

their makeup is interesting - almost like that 2001 eastern all star team: let the backcourt do all the scoring and surround them with role players. and in the nba these days, perimeter players can do anything they want.

And the 76ers really suck. Many expected them to contend this season in the East but so fat lots of disappointment.

TMS, are you going to take that? How about I flag down DJ's uncle's cab and pick you up, and we can go down to the Homeland Security office and have DJ picked up and detained with his uncles and nephews in Guantanamo Bay. But first I have to swing by DJ's brother's Kwik-E-Mart to hit the ATM and get some beef jerky.

Harris is definitely an emerging star, no doubt about it... they're playing a lot better than i ever thought they would this year & have a young team that can only get better... that Jason Kidd trade was a stroke of genius by Rod Thorn.
islesfan @ 12/7/2008 2:03 AM
Oh and Harris is playing out of his freaking mind lately.

Rod Thorn is an absolute genius.

Forget Bosh, LeBron and Wade is the way to go.

They changed the whole foundation of what made them good last year--speed. They were very good at getting up and down and now with Brand they have morphed and slowed down. It's not to say they wont be better but they may have to make some more moves--I would say the same thing applies to Toronto--bigger expectations but the change in chemistry and foundation calls for more change. You can play with two bigs and play great--Lakers Celtics San Antonio or it can hinder you if the players in the particular system have poor synergy.

The funny thing is before the season started I told people that Harris would be the next Tony Park and people laughed now everyone will see this kid is the real deal.
CrushAlot @ 12/7/2008 9:53 AM
They definitely have the best front office. To trade Kidd at his age after he made it known he wanted to be traded and to get back Devin Harris is amazing. They also probably had the best draft of any team last year.
Knicksfan @ 12/7/2008 10:20 AM
But one thing to consider: they definitely took advantage of Kidd's winner fame and the Mavs' desperation for a championship to get the deal done. That deal was only happening to the team that had Kidd, and it was the Nets. Lucky them...
Rookie @ 12/7/2008 11:32 AM
Have you guys seen this kid Lopez play defense. He's very physical and no gets around the rim w/out contact. This kid is an animal. The only bad thing I could say about him is that he would look better in orange and blue

they also got 2 1st round picks out of that deal... simply genius.

they'll gel. give them time. they always start slow and then around all star break go on a run. philly won't be in last place for long.

i thought they'd contend for the Finals this year but doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon.

send Robersuck to lay a hard flagrant on him in the opening possession... take 1 for the team.
