NETS BIG 3 = NO “D”
Yes .... the New Jersey Nets 3 superstars showed no "D" against the Pistons last night - in Detroit
Vince Carter was his usual all offense but no defense - Richard Jefferson is playing passive on "D" and Jason Kidd is just tiring -
MAYBE THEY COULD USE SOME HELP FROM A FEW OF THE YOUNG KNICKS who showed some "D" last night against Dallas!
Perhaps Lawrence Franks should take a hint from Isiah Thomas and rely less on Carter & Kidd to keep his job - whereas last year the bench wasn't used and the superstars were abused - this year the bench is too long and the superstars are still being abused - there seems to be no balance or logic to Franks bench substitutions -
Boone has emerged but why not earlier in the season - is a coach's job to be perceptive as well as good with X's and O's? - YES! - something Franks will learn with age not wins -
