    I want to explain the picture. I was giving a talk at Brevard College, and I told my daughter i wanted a ridiculous picture for the flier. We sent that, but they refused to use it. So I posted it on my faculty page where i teach instead.

    Insurance if his injuries continue. More a replacement for Jeremy Lin IMO.

    Can’t do much but hit the three. Seeing him and Crane on the floor together will be nice though.

    Nets have some decent three-point shooting (threes last year):
    Crabbe 201
    Harris 150
    Carroll 145
    D-Lo (90 in 48 games)
    Napier 82
    -Russ has to step up his game, obviously, but I expect him to shoot better with a stronger knee.

    Is now the 1st time you've seen it? We commissioned sirron like 4 months ago to put it up at Staples in hope you'd return to LB.

    The Nets probably aren't that high on Russell. That's my gut feeling. They aren't building around him either. He just seems to be a piece among other pieces.

    They could have offered him an extension already but obviously have not, even though Russell is probably dirt cheap at this point in this market.

    I think this is a make or break season. If he is the same indifferent immature player, his career path will be that of a role player. While that's (money wise) way better than anything I could ever earn in life, it's a massiv letdown for an immensely talented young man.

    I have a feeling D-Lo will average a triple double, son.

    I hope everyone remembers what I said about D-Lo...the guy isn't ever going to be a star. I always said he wouldn't be an all star and I would get flamed for it.

    The kid just doesn't have IT...
