Road Woes Continue STORY 12/9

Road Woes
If the Knicks hope to be real contenders, they are going to have to start winning some road games. They dropped a disturbing game to the woeful Atlanta Hawks, and gave up a big lead in the process, and then gave up another big lead to the Houston Rockets, although they were very shorthanded for that one, and are now 1-6 this season on the road. Home court advantage doesn't mean as much in the NBA, where for the most part good teams win, home or away, and bad teams lose, home or away. You've got to beat the bad teams - like Atlanta - on the road. 11/25

The Nets returned home to Nassau Coliseum after a successful 3-2 road trip and registered an impressive 106-86 win over the Grand Rapids Drive - the G League afilliate of the Detroit Pistons, to pull within 1 game of the first place Westchester Knicks in the Atlantic Division. Former First Team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection Milton Doyle did in the Drive once again, knocking down 7 three pointers and finishing with 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. He has to be opening some eyes at the NBA level, having some big games in his first season as a pro.

Isaiah Whitehead, back down from the parent Brooklyn Nets, had 32 points and Milton Doyle continued his strong play with 30 to lead the Long Island Nets to another nice road win - a 116-101 win over Cleveland's Canton Charge affiliate. The win gives the Nets a 3-2 record on their road trip, and they return home now for a Nov 28th matchup with the Piston's Grand Rapids Drive affiliate sporting a 5-4 overall record, good enough for 3rd place in the Atlantic Division behind the Celtic's Maine Red Claw affiliate and the Westchester Knicks.  11/25

Miami star Kamari Murphy iced it with two free throws. Murphy and former Weber State star Jeremy Senglin ended up as high scorers with 20 points a piece, and McCall and D2 star Thomas Wimbush both finished with 17.

First Team All-Missouri Valley Conference player Milton Doyle continues to shine, finishing with 20 point and 3 assists, and Jeremy Senglin - the Weber State star - added 18. 11/17

Nets Dramatic Finish
The lead went back and forth the entire fourth quarter, with both teams hitting clutch shot after clutch shot, but in the final seconds Jacob Wiley, a two way player who played his college ball at Eastern Washington, drilled a three pointer with 14 seconds remaining to give Long Island a big 117-115 road win over Northern Arizona. The victory improves the Nets record to 3-2 and gets them off to a great start on their 5 game road trip. Wiley ended up with 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists but it was Milton Doyle who had the big game, finishing with 34 points and D2 star Thomas Wimbush added 17.

2016-17 Season
The Long Island Nets actually began their life at the busy Barclay's Center in Brooklyn last season, fitting in games when they could - often at off hours and in front of sparse crowds. There were great moments to be sure - those rare prime time games when excited fans came in from Long Island by the thousands to see them play, and of course, whenever they beat their new arch rival, the Westchester Knicks! Brentwood's JJ Moore had a great inaugural season, making the team off the local tryout and racking up a lot of big games, and there were other Long Island kids that came to town with other teams and had big games -  like Hicksville's Jon Petrucelli and OSNA's Cheik Diallo. What strikes you the most about the games is the talent level in the G League - every game is like watching a college all-star game, except with coaching and plays and defense! Remember though, the purpose of a minor league team is not to win games or fill arenas. The Long Island Nets and all of the NBA G League teams are in business to find and develop players for their parent club. Period. You get to watch that process unfold, and it can be a great thrill. Imagine being there when a future NBA star - like our own Danny Green - is discovered! After all was said and done, our Long Island Nets did a good job last year, putting several players onto NBA rosters this season. That's the beauty of the G League! The process stars fresh again this season, with a whole new crop of college stars hoping their NBA dreams will come true. Did I forget to say that ticket prices are VERY reasonable! You can get season tickets for what you might pay for just one Knicks ticket! If you love basketball like I do, you can't beat it!
