NJ Nets evaluation january 11
Frank is a cya guy for himself and Thorne - Boone & Williams should have been in the starting line-up from day one - nothing has changed since pre-season as far as the players involved -
magliore & allen were defensive liabilities both then and now - Magliore an offensive liability as well - as for Collins - I love Jason BUT - he should be where he is right now - Frank implicitly blames the players by omitting himself as part of the problem - truth is that Frank is more concerned about appearances than what is real - and what is real is that the big three are better - because Boone &* Williams make them better!!
not to suggest that Carter, Jefferson & Kidd aren't good on their own - but they needed some speed and some churn to be at their best
don't you get tired of Frank's techno-coach babble - which says only one thing - the players need to do this and the players need to do that - how about the coaching? Marcus Williams needs more playing time and will become crucial to the teams success - just as Boone & Williams have become essential for the Nets to win - coaching? - the coaches responsibility is to reinforce mechanics, get the right MIX of players playing together at the right time and for the correct duration of time - something the Nets coaches haven't done a good job at - Wright should have been in the game against CHARLOTTE - MARCUS WILLIAMS AS WELL - Frank tends to ride his hot players too long - like Armstrong for example - and he's definitely BURNING out Kidd - while at the same time not being able to deal with Carters lapses by simply telling Carter that he can't go invisible! from time to time -bottom line is that Frank needs to do a Jeff Van Gundy and assume blame for the Nets under achievement - not put it on the players!!!
