Yeah, I’ve been talking bout Jason Collins’ toilet seat for almost a year now, but nobody has seen what it’s like, and it’s even in one of my trade proposals, so what is this toilet seat like? must be something glamourous considering the amount of money he conned right out of Rod Thorn’s armpit. here goes.

Deathmatch: Jamaal Magloire / Jason Collins October 29, 2007
Posted by netsophobia in Jamaal Magloire, Jason Collins, Lawrence Frank, New Jersey Nets, Weekday Randomness, youtube.2 comments
Round ONE
Making the case for Magloire
He gives us a dimension that’s a little bit different, He’s a rugged old-school center who can get your team into the penalty early and have a physical presence around the basket.
– Lawrence Frank
I realize that the only way you get better is putting in the work, There are always things you could be doing to get better.
– Jamaal Magloire
That’s sounds like effort?
Which surely means he’s going to shoot better than 2-10 right right??
Making the case for Collins
“Twin’s earned the right to have the job,” Frank said. “If someone wants the job, like Jamaal or Josh Boone or Sean Williams, they have to take it from Twin. But Twin is coming to camp prepared; he’s got a great basketball IQ, he’s worked extremely hard.”
Hmm. okay… but Magloire’s working really hard, what does this mean?
Everybody on each individual team has a role to play. For this team to be successful, I know what my role is. And we’ve had some suc cess here.
– Jason Collins
He basically meant my role is the starting center spot.
Round TWO
Love for each other
“We have great depth this year. There are a lot of guys who are capable of doing a lot of things, Malik shooting, Jamaal down on the low block, Sean or J.B. using their athleti cism. It’s important for all of us to continue to push each other to get better because it’s only going to make the team better.”
– Jason Collins
“I think we’re dangerous because we have balance, We have [Nenad] Krstic and myself that can score and you have the two wings [Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson] and Kidd. I think we’re as good as any other team out there.”
– Jamaal Magloire
Oops, don’t think Jam mentioned Collins anywhere here, but scoring isn’t something that Twin has heard of. He actually implmented his desired starting lineup here, Nenad, Jam, Kidd, VC, RJ.
Round THREE
Bring on the stats
Jamaal Magloire
Best Season: 13.6 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 1 apg, 1.2 bpg, 47.3 FG%, 47% eFG%, 75.1 FT% (WTF?), All-Star
Previous Season: 6.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 0.4 apg, 0.8 bpg, 50.5 FG%, 50.5 eFG%, 54 FT%
Career Stat: 9 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 0.7 apg, 1.1 bpg, 48.2 FG%, 66 FT%
Jason Collins
Best Season: 6.4 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 1.1 apg, 0.9 bpg, 41 FG%, 65 FT%
Previous Season: 2.1 ppg, 4 rpg, 0.6 apg, 0.5 bpg, 36 FG%, 46 FT%
Career Stat: 4,2 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 1.2 apg, 0.6 bpg, 41 FG%, 66 FT%
Let’s summarize things up, Jamaal Magloire’s worst season 2006-2007 season, was Collins’ best season, while Collins worst season was Olive Miller’s worst season. Both had their worst stats produced last season, but obviously Jam won this one by a clear margin.
Round FOUR

Jason Collin’s dunk
Jamaal Magloire’s 180 blind dunk

Yup, There you have it, 1-12 from 8 feet of the basket, and 43% within 3 feet of the hole, I have no idea how to describe this. Anyway, I stole this idea from Bullets Forever, have a nice day.

Ten or More reasons why the New Jersey Nets will end next season as the NBA champions, and of course, to sooth the masses’ criticism, I will duly come up with another Ten or more reasons why NOT..
We’ll start today’s countdown from TEN – SIX, why? so I could save more content to allow me to post regularly, by and the way, I’ll be posting moeand more random stuff right maybe until the new season starts, so get a hold of that, this is getting PERSONAL.
Starting the countdown at Ten, Jason Collins takes out his magic wand and gives it a swish.
TEN #10- You know, It’s aways a peasure to have Jason Collins anywhere near somewhere, so he takes his spot at number ten here, why? because with the influx of biggies coming into the team, Jack Cro’s minutes is going way down, which could only mean one thing..Ws!!
At Nine, Vince Carter discovered the wizarding world and plays the wizardy sport, Quidditch.
NINE #9- Yes, he played the game and he hated it, and somehow through some weird spellcasting by some random members of the audience, Vince Carters learns the mantra of “now or never”, and decides to go all out, result? 90% of his shots in the 2007 season are within the paint
P.S : Clutch while knowing “now or never”
Richard Jefferson learns something at Eight, It’s never too late to get married, but it’s going to be too late to win a championship if you don’t hurry
EIGHT #8- RJ WILL break out of the shadow casted by both Kidd and Vince Carter, but in a certain day, he woke up and told his future wife, “chups, we ain’t getting married till I get that ring.” Thus, he wanted to ork hard for his marriage in order to shed that gay tag.
Hassan Adams comes back to haunt us at Seven.
SEVEN #7- Hassan Adams is haunting the team, everyone is scared, but hey, Rod Thorn has a sidejob that no one ever knew of, he’s an exorcist, thus bringing in important philosophy to the team, Believe in the Impossible. Magic isn’t it.
Lawrence Frank was transferred to Hogwart’s School of Wizardry to teach Muggle Studies and his favorite chapter of the text book is “Is there an age limit for basketball coaches?”
SIX #6- Upon returning from Hogwarts, Frank was given a payrise, a hefty one I must say, no wonder Mikki Moore left, they’re overpaying a coach rather than him, anyway, t new deal gives Frank two more years (at $4.2 million and $4.4 million) beyond the 2007-08 season, which means it will be extra motivation?
to be continued…tsuzuku..
Post Draft Reactions #2 July 1, 2007
Posted by netsophobia in Ed Stefanski, Jason Collins, JC SUCKO-METER CONTEST, NBA Draft, New Jersey Nets, Rod Thorn, Sean Williams.2 comments
Rod Thorn on Sean Williams
There is not an athlete within this draft who was any more athletic than this kid and he brings a shot blocking presence and a defensive presence that our team needs. We tried to look at it, we got all the information we could, we tried to disseminate it and at the end of the day we felt the risk was worth it
Our feeling was that we needed a player like this, since Kenyon. A player of this athleticism and of this ability. Here we’ve got one. Had there been no issues, he wouldn’t have been there. I emphasize, where we were picking, our feeling was this was a guy if things go well – if he does reach his potential – he could be sensational. He has that kind of athletic ability.
Sean Williams
I’m just going to come and try to bring a lot of energy and play defense, and run the floor. (Shot-blocking), that’s all I could do when I started playing basketball.
I had dinner with Thorn and Stefanski and it seemed like everything went real well, so they took me,”. I can’t wait to join the organization, get out there with the coaches. I appreciate the opportunity, appreciate being in the NBA.
Ed Stefanski
He’s limited offensively, That’s the question: Will his offense get better down the line? He didn’t show much of a post game in college. Will it come? It’s questionable. But we know what he is: An incredibly athletic shot-blocker.
Al Skinner – Boston College Coach
There’s no doubt that what lies ahead of him has to be a concern,” Skinner said of the NBA lifestyle, “but I also recognize the strides he has made. When he was dismissed from the team, he decided to stay in school. Boston College is not an easy school (academically) and yet he remained. I was happy to see that. He did well, had no incidents, and managed good grades.
Jonathan Givony – Draft Express
A cop-out, indeed, but there is no way of grading this pick until we see whether or not Williams flames out of the league after a year or two like his history indicates he will. If he miraculously cleans up his act and decides to pick basketball over smoking marijuana, the Nets will have done extremely well here. If he doesn’t, then obviously everyone will say that the writing was on the wall. Considering where they were drafting and the fact that they needed an athletic power forward that can play in Lawrence Frank’s system right now—they’ll tell you that they really didn’t have a choice here. Only time will tell if that was indeed the case.
Aran Smith – NBADraft.net
For a team with so much talent on the perimeter (assuming they resign Vince Carter), gambling on Sean Williams at 17 was a smart move as the reward outweighs the risk. Williams remains the player in this year’s draft most likely to crash his car while self serving ala Eddie Griffin, but in a draft devoid of athletic bigmen outside of the top pick, Williams has the upside to warrant the selection. Williams should give them instant help defensively as a bigtime shot blocker plus he has offensive potential for the future. Now if they can move Jefferson and Krstic for Jermaine O’Neal and light a fire under his butt, they will have a contender.
Smith gave the Nets a grade of B+
Fun Fact #1
– Jason Collins blocked 41 shots in 92 games this season, Sean Williams blocked 75 in 15 games
Jason Collins a playoffs player? April 29, 2007

“He’s doing a good job of forcing me one way and he’s bodying me up,” Bosh said of Collins. “I really don’t want to shoot too many jump shots against him.”
“You have to compare him to a guy like Bruce Bowen, who can guard a point guard or a small forward,” Jefferson said of his teammate. “It doesn’t matter what his assignment is, he’ll find a way to be successful, because he has a defensive mind-set. Just like a shooter is going to find a way to score. He’s a very good defender. Whether it’s Shaq or Chris Bosh, he’s very intelligent. He thinks the game and makes very few mistakes.”
Vince Carter put it, “Twin is a great team player. He’s built for the playoffs.”
I have to admit his defense on Chris Bosh are one of the keys on why the Nets are successful thus far in the playoffs, but he’s not only contributing in defense, he’s contributing in the offense as well, so the question is, IS JASON COLLINS REALLY BUILT for the playoffs?

(edit: Richard Jefferson will not be traded, my point is, i see RJ, Krstic and Marcus Williams (and Toine) as the future of this ball club, and with a 17th pick in the draft, we could get someone like Josh McRoberts or Al Thornton and that player could complement Nenad Krstic, besides we have enough big men to fill the bus, so using RJ as trade bait is as unlikely as Jason Collins exploding for 30 points, but then again, you never know.)
