Tonight was no exception. Without Harris and Carter the Nets were lifeless and showed little-to-no passion or fire needed to win. A look at the box score tells most of the story. You just can not win in the NBA while shooting 31%...even against the Knicks.
Offensively there was little ball movement, which did not matter since the ball was going in the hoop. Without their two offensive catalysts the Knicks had no one on the floor who could create their own shot which turned the team into jump shooters.
The Nets needed a big night from Lopez, but unfortunately he was overmatched by more physical David Lee. All night there was just no answer to the physical presence of Lee. And offensively there was no answer to the Nets quick guards who overmatched the backcourt of Dooling and Roberts.
No need for individual observations. This was not the true Nets that we have seen show up this year. Hopefully this tough loss will give the front office the kick-in-the-pants it need to improve the bench this season.
