Tips for using the Nets.

[Candyman5]

I play against my friends and I usually lose. We play on Hall Of Fame.

My one friend uses the Spurs and Bulls, the other uses the Wizzards and the other friend uses the Warriors.

I use my favorite team the Nets and cant seem to use them to well. Is there any tips or tricks I could use to at least become competitive? I typically run the ball down and eat a lot of clock and that keeps me in most games but then I just lose it. Main reason is I cant use Joe Johnson. Something about him I suck with....

I would attack the hoop with D-Will and post up with Lopez mainly. Use Pierce, Garnett, and Joe Johnson to knock down shots in rhythm with the offense while D-Will and Lopez are in the game. When either are out or both are out, let Johnson, Pierce, and Garnett get more into their offense. Blatche is a great scorer for a big man off the bench too. He's like a giant Gilbert Arenas or the guy who ate Carmelo. In other words, he can score the ball.

joe and pierce are both pretty good post players for wings. deron is great in the post also.

Brook and KG both have great jumpers, drive and kick, pick and pop but KG's jumper is slow as hell, so it can get blocked easily.

Mirzra and blatche also both have decent midrange, and kirilinko is a pretty good defender and decent spot up 3pt shooter. and jet's jumper is great. run a few floppy plays for him to get hot.

He is my go to guy, once you get his shot down he is money. I don't run a lot of plays for him but I'm always looking for him off ball spotting up. I usually work Brook in the post and run pick and rolls with him or pick and pop with KG but I try to keep my eye out for Joe if the defense sags off a bit.

Yeah well I just played and Wall was just driving on Brook Lopez and Garnet nailing everything underneath. I ended up quiting at the beginning of the secound when I was down 11-24 and D. Williams came down the court with the ball only for him to get stripped by wall then roll out of bounds however it was out on williams some how.

The Nets are some kind of the mid-range no. 1 team in the game, everyone in the starting lineup can shoot and is good in the post. So thats pretty much what you should use to your advantage.

Play a slow tempo. I mostly play as the Nets and when I lose it is because I am caught up in the other players tempo trying to run the ball and shoot the 3. If you play half court, use some PnR, and take some open mid range shots you will good. Plus, take advantage of KG's turnaround fadeaway in the post, it is money!
