Comments on: 2009-10 NBA Preview: New Jersey Nets http://www.reclinergm.com/2009-10-nba-preview-new-jersey-nets/ Philly sports blog for diehard Sixers & Phillies fans Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:37:51 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: The Real Rob http://www.reclinergm.com/2009-10-nba-preview-new-jersey-nets/#comment-22172 The Real Rob Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:49:47 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=7669#comment-22172 Greatest strength(s): -Finally added some frontcourt players -Real potential (They understand that they won’t make playoffs, but will still play it out!) -Key role players joined this team when they could’ve been elsewhere!! (Najera, Hayes, Dooling) -Point guard depth (depending on if Alston stays) Management (Rod Thorn has Stefanski like qualities) -Devin Harris, one of the quickest scoring point guards -6th as a team in assists (Last season) -Media popularity:   1.  Jay-Z, part owner   2.  Marv Albert /Mike Fratello doing the play by play Greatest weakness(es): Greatest weakness(es): -Perimeter shooting (offensively and defensively) -Who is the leader?  (this will show Frank’s true coaching skills!) -Raw, young team - How will the team act the minute they start hitting some slumps? -Devin Harris' injury woes -Attendance (in the same low category as Philly at home) -Looking ahead at FA while a season needs to played out! With that said, the Nets will be 5th in the Atlantic Division, 15th in the East. (On a side note, the Sixers will split the series with the Nets (2-2).  Until the Sixers can focus and shut down everyone else not named Devin Harris because he is too tough to shut down an entire game, then perhaps I can say the Sixers will win that series.  Last year, the Sixers lost to the Nets in some weird ways, 18 missed FGs in the 4th qt one game and then a weird Devin Harris half court shot.  Hopefully with former Nets assistant coach and now Sixers head coach Eddie Jordan, perhaps the Sixers will have the offense.  Now what about the defense?  We Sixers' fans will have to wait soon enough!)   Greatest strength(s):
