AK-47 On His Old Boss: "He is REALLY Patient"

PrintTake it from someone who knows him, who's a fellow countryman. Mikhail Prokhorov will not be deterred by early setbacks. Not his style. Andrei Kirilenko, who played for CSKA Moscow, describes his old boss this way to Fred Kerber: "If he’s got the time, like three, four years, he’s really going to wait. He is going to work hard every year to get those free agents but he is really patient. I mean REALLY patient."
Kirilenko, who's suffering from a jammed finger, will play Wednesday vs. the Nets. Terrence Williams will suit up as well. Avery Johnson told beat reporters he's going with Kris Humphries again vs. the Jazz, in part because of how well he works with Brook Lopez. It's his 12th career start in six plus years. As Kerber reports, Lopez is a big guy who likes to wander to the perimeter while "Hump" is a big guy who does what Johnson calls "the dirty work."

We have a shot in this game
But we’ll have to be playing our best, and really cut down on the stupid turnovers.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
Avery really knows what's up.
"Brook needs to get more, especially on the offensive glass," Johnson said flatly. "That’s why we need him to be more active. We can’t go through games with him getting three rebounds and Humphries getting 13."
Also, I love what Favors said about Millsap:
"I watch how hard he goes after every rebound and how relentless he is on the boards," "I’m pretty sure he’s in the weight room a lot. He looks like a hard worker."
I really love this team and I think we can win tonight.
I was supposed to start but I left my jersey in the locker room, so he got to start...So did you outplay him after that? I won MVP. - Derrick Favors
How about Morrow and Outlaw both
having a good game while DH and Brook doing what they were doing. I think that would be good enough to beat Jazz, of course while playing D.

"Johnson praises D.Williams"
That’s it GM Johnson butter the guy up then sic Harris and Farmar on him.

His contract is up in a year or two
Why can’t we dream……

As Fred Kerber reports, Lopez is a big guy who likes to wander to the perimeter while Hump is a big guy who does what Johnson calls “the dirty work.”
thank you avery!
"On tools alone, Favors has star potential...The issue for him is that he’s still figuring out the game...But the team that drafts him may have to be patient."

Yea I really don't mind Hump being the starting PF
He’s bringing a lot of energy and playing very physical. One of the few Nets that do that. As long as he’s producing and doing the small things that compliment Lopez he should stay there.
Holding foul!
He’s a rookie! Call that!

Lopez more than 5 rebounds today?
Over/under?
I’d say over because Avery has called him out on it.

Really patient...
And pushing your GM to offer everything under the sub for a borderline superstar don’t correlate.

Melo would be a great addition
and every day they wait, the Nuggets will be able to get less and less.
Thus, the patience.
By the way, AK-47 is a free agent come July.
Melo is OVERRATED.

he would still be a good addition, at a reasonable cost

This.
And “reasonable cost” doesn’t mean a #3 pick big man with a bright future in addition to a large number of picks AND an offer to take on even more of Denver’s crappy contracts.

I don't think Ujiri sees it that way, about Melo.
What do you think about Nets bringing back Al Harrington for Outlaw as part of Melo trade?
(since Nets would have surplus as SF and deficit at PF)?
Everyone seems to write off Harrington for his age, but he seems to have a lot left in tank and Outlaw would wilt behind Melo.
Avery..still preaching fouling hard
Johnson will continue to encourage his players to commit hard fouls, when the situation arises. But he doesn’t want them to go over the line.
“… We don’t advocate that kind of foul — a flagrant foul,” Johnson said. “We’ve been talking about hard fouls but not one like that. You know, a guy drives down the middle and we put a guy on the deck. We go after him really hard. We wrap him up. It’s legal. It’s hard. It’s not flagrant. That’s what we’re talking about.”
"It was a ruby that she wore...On a chain around her neck"
"In the shape of a heart...In the shape of a heart"
All he is saying is that he doesn’t want players to get ticky-tack fouls, like pulling on a players jersey or just slapping blindly at people after they blow by them. I’m all for that.

I think the point is no shot make him earn it at the line.

Let's Go Nets!
Hope Bell is still out.
Weget the best announcers tonight, Ian & Spanarkel!!!

Don't enjoy Marv and Fratello duo
I could deal with Fratello with Ian, but Spanarkel-Ian Eagle is always a great listen.
by Jersey Sports Fan on Nov 17, 2010 5:54 PM EST up reply actions
I hate Marv.
He is mean. I used to think he was trying unsuccessfully to be funny, but now I am convinced he just genuinely hates the Czar.

OT: Did anyone else get the roadtrip offer from the Nets?
Free bus + 2 tickets to the game against Philly on the 27th?
I already planned on being in the city that weekend, so I’ll be at the game.
Anyone else going?

It would be fun to go with some friends
But looked it up and saw it was a 200 min train ride and another 9 miles to the arena. I’ll stick with the ATL game Tues… xD
~Hard Work
and Murphy is Inactive (not physically there, per Avery.)
BTW, TWill tweeted earlier –
“Gina use to look gooooood” (LOL)
Did you get that Jarkid?
LETS GO JAZZ
LOL JK Go Nets!!

Knicks are fortunate
First they get Orlando game postponed until mid March (just announced).
Then they give David Lee and infection so he will miss game against Knicks.
Knicks fortunate to have easy games against Clippers and Lee-less Warriors.
Tonight more than ever, no lead is big enough against Utah.
That means we can’t get excited unless ahead by 20+ points after 3 quarters.
