The Nets don't deserve Pierce & KG. Their fans are just as stupid as their owner & GM for not realizing that PP & KG are not players that can carry a team during the course of the regular season any more. They are there for the 2nd season, that's it.
If I recall correctly. Last yr. the C's started off the season much like the Nets have this yr. then it seemed we figured it out that the younger guys needed to be the ones to do the heavy lifting during the course of the regular season.
If the Nets have any hopes of salvaging their season Joe Johnson, D Will, & Brooke need to be the focal point...& maybe try getting a real coach that realizes these problems.
This may be true - but Kevin and Paul are playing really very poorly. It is precipitous drop off. Blatche is totally outplaying KG right now. They can't be expected to carry the team any more - but they can be expected to play better than a D league player.
Right now they're being asked to do too much. Again much like the way we started last season. They should be thought of as role players right now. I'm almost willing to bet if we had a player like Lopez last season we would not have been bounced so easily...we at least would've beaten the knicks.
If we could have relied on players like a Lopez and Green instead of Pierce and KG they(Pierce & KG) would've been way more effective during last season's playoffs. They're both clutch players that can deliver big plays still but at their age they can't and shouldn't be asked to do it for 38 - 40 mins a game these days.
If the Nets and their fans were expecting that... well then we robbed 'em and shame on them for being dumb.
Pierce and KG aren't asked to play big minutes or carry the team. They play like 20minutes a night.
Ahh, I did not know that. I honestly haven't watched many Nets games this yr. I'll have check 'em out and see what's going on.
Thats ok, even Tommy Heinson thinks they are being forced to carry the load. Last night Pierce played less than 15min and Kg didn't play at all.
