Power Rankings: Little Change, Still Near the Bottom

PrintThree straight losses, one to the Kings, will not help you in the power rankings. John Schuhmann drops the Nets from #22 to #25 while Marc Stein, who already had them at #25 last week, demotes them one notch to #26.
Schuhmann notes that Devin Harris didn't get untracked after being tossed in the Clipper game, shooting 11 for 33 over the rest of the trip. He also notes that "the Nets have gone as Harris has: They're 3-1 with only a one-point loss to the Magic in games he's scored 20-plus."
Stein, meanwhile, notes what every Nets fan knows: "zero double-doubles for a presumed All-Star in Brook Lopez." Stein also notes that in games decided by five or fewer points, the Nets have five straight losses.
The captains' inconsistency is one of three things the Nets' Ben Couch says fans should watch for this week, along with Kris Humphries' ability to keep up his career numbers across the board and the health of Terrence Williams and Troy Murphy.

we're hanging around in these losses...
which is probably the best thing to take away from all of this. a few clutch performances at the right times, and some of these losses could be wins (and WILL be by the end of the season).
Official Member of the "MAKE CARMELO A NET" Movement
Yeah, clutch as in making layups and wide open shots
That’d be a nice start.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
I agree that execution down the stretch must improve(and I believe that it will)
But we’re not getting blown off of the floor. A loss is a loss but they’re fighting out there. I think the fact that we’re competitive is a positive sign despite the record. How many years in a row have we had to endure a Nets team that would, as Jason Kidd put it perfectly before he forced his way out of here, “let go of the rope” in the middle of games and lost miserably?
Not with this team.

if the whole team did a better job throughout the game then we wouldn't be in that position to begin with.
I agree he needed to finish that, but to base the whole game on that one moment is dumb.
Official Member of the "DO NOT TRADE DERRICK FAVORS" Movement
We can always say that if made 1 or 2 key plays that we could have won, but the other team can say the exact same thing.

i'm going out on a limb here...
but the successes and failures of this Nets season will not be found in the wins and losses columns. we might as well be an expansion team with such relative obscurity to the regular “goings on” of NBA life, (like winning, competing, making the playoffs). if this team can grow to trust one another, create an identity for itself, and possibly acquire a little more talent, i would consider this season a success.

Official Member of the "MAKE CARMELO A NET" Movement
Very nice point about the Nets being like an expansion team
That’s basically what they are after Ratner, although they do have more talent than the collection of cast-offs that make up the typical expansion team in any sport.
We were “close” in a lot of early games last season. in the end, a W is a W and a L is an L.
"(Lopez) wasn't as aggressive as he needed to be," Johnson said afterward when asked if he was encouraged by Lopez's 10 rebounds. "Again, (he had) 10 rebounds but the biggest one we didn't get, which was on the free throw."
are we seriously going to compare last year's mess to this year?
last year’s team that managed to hang tough in 8 straight losses was also injury riddled and the roster was atrocious.
If you’re just looking at wins and losses in this team’s case you’re seriously missing the bigger picture.
A team like Miami would have to worry about their record being bad because they have two superstars, an all star PF, and veteran players all brought in to win NOW. This is a team full of kids that are trying to figure things out and are nowhere ready for the big stage.

i beg to differ...
i think keeping a game close, even when we lose, (and ESPECIALLY against a team we have no business beating in the first place) is crucial to this team’s development. i’d rather have our young guys learning from their mistakes early on… playing through nail-biters, gutting a game out til the last second (regardless of outcome).
Official Member of the "MAKE CARMELO A NET" Movement
Well, thats all fine and dandy in theory, but they aren’t learning. The were “close” with the Magic but then get beat by the bottom of the barrel teams right after that. Some of these guys just need confidence in wins. Given all their tweets and such, losing takes a tole, obviously.

Can I compare the Knicks then?
They have also been close in a lot of games, I really don’t think that means much in the grand scheme of things. The objective is to win the game.
I would be more impressed if we could win in different ways. I want to see this team win big. We haven’t won easily in a long long time. I want to see us build a lead, and sustain it for an entire game.

Official Member of the "DO NOT TRADE DERRICK FAVORS" Movement
it's absolutely ridiculous
OMGGG HOW DARE THIS TEAM GO 1-3 ON A WEST COAST TRIP!?!?
The Nets took one of the best teams in the league to the LIMIT on their home floor. But none of that matters. Kris Humpries playing great basketball, especially against Blake Griffin one of the league’s monster PF’s, means nothing either.
There’s a reason why I said that the Nets would go 1-3 on that trip. This team is wet behind the ears, and while some look at it as an excuse, I look at it as the reality of the situation. The expectations on this team from some fans are irrational and unrealistic.
I do agree though that Lopez’s soft play is inexcusable and he needs to get it in gear.
I also agree with some of the criticism about Avery’s offense and lineups. There is no reason to have Williams/James/Murphy in streetclothes when we need those players to perform for us.
But all in all, there are reasons to be positive about this team.

We’d be winning these games if Lopez could really play in the post like a true Center and not shoot 9-21 to score 20 points. This bad summer with mono has really affected him. He looks weaker, slower and with no stamina. Last year he would get so many alley oops but now he can’t even catch them. Like I said earlier, I really don’t think it’s fair to judge Lopez THIS SEASON, BUT at the same time we know what he is. He is a post player, who can blocks shots and is average rebounder for a big man. He is getting better at reading double teams and passing but he still has long ways to go. If you look at most of our losses, we are always in striking distance but we can’t execute. Our defense is top 10 now which is an ENORMOUS improvement from last year, but Harris is always a no-show for big games, and the big disney has been struggling this season. I still believe we should keep this team intact unless the trade is “the right trade”. Lopez/Favors will be fine and we will start seeing good things from then next year when Lopez regains his health and hits the gym while Favors gains experience/confidence. From there we have a bunch solid piece role players which can really add something to a winning team. Our goal should be becoming a 50+ win team with a chance at a title once we are in BK. These 2 years should be used for having good drafts and developing our players… Rome wasn’t build in one day you know.
I really like Melo but I don’t know if he makes THAT much of a difference today with the Lakers, Celtics and the rest around… the way I see it there are two viable options:
1) Go for Melo, Give up Lopez or Favors and get bounced in the first or second round and get mediocre picks. Hope for good cheap vets.
2) Continue rebuilding with young players, flexibility and draft picks. Give more time to Brook and Favors and keep our key role players: Farmar, Morrow and Hump. Get solid draft picks and once we are ready to go to BK, either make a play for a big time player, or just keep the players we already have depending on how much they’ve improved.
Personally I like option 2 a bit more mostly become we MUST give up Lopez or Favors for Melo, but if anyone else is involved then I am all for it.
Outlaw+Murphy+Twill+lots of picks for Melo. According to reports though, the Nets are dead set on getting Melo, in that case I would offer Lopez+Murphy+one or two draft picks.
PS- I hope the Melo rumors go away soon because it’s really annoying and repetitive.

Enough of Melo I really realllllllly want to see James get over or atleast 20 minutes
I feel like we know what morrow is/gonna be and we know what ouse can do. T-Will and James really need to play heavier minutes I kno twill was hurt but let’s get him 25+ and get James in there why is Graham playing?
DJames not playng is the biggest mystery of season.
And if there were to be a Melo trade, Nets need to know soon, where they stand with DJames.
Can he play some PF? Will he become better than Outlaw, thus making Travis expendable?
And if Nets don’t think DJames will be part of Nets future, then they should show him off to Nuggets – he could be the extra young piece that Nuggets want.
In any case, DJames must play. Get him out of the Doghouse.
(Can someone find a Big Doghouse?)
For the record, TWill said he was already back to 100%. when he was inactive on Friday.
TWill asked Bondy to ask Avery to find out why he wasn’t playing (per Bond on Saturday).
TWill tried to play very cautiously Saturday, by passing up shots.
He even passed out (to Petro for a 3 point attempt) on a drive to basket.
That is a sign that TWill was too scared to upset Avery.
TWill looked the most serious I have ever seen him, on Saturday.
He was really trying to Focus, which will be good, once he gets back “in” with Avery.
Maybe Nets should all watch “The Karate (Kung Fu) Kid”. Jackie Chan keeps saying “Focus, Focus”.
Avery Johnson is "breaking" T-Will..
Breaking him down, to then build him back up, his way!
The Marines Corps does it all the time….
"People asking questions, lost in confusion

I agree.
They already wiped that Big Smile off of his face.

Well Golllliee Sargeant Carter:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JAA2Unb0B4
Maybe Aunt B could explain things to TWill. Gomer Pyle was well before TWill’s time.
If Avery makes him and doesn’t break him. That is my concern, also T-Will is used to tough coaching. Rick Pitino is a strict coach and Terrence still holds him in the highest regard.
"You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain

Actually, Brook fits the Gomer Pyle role better.
As ZZone writes in new story, Avery is tough on Brook.
I knew it would be that way, and that was one of the reasons I wanted Nets to hire Avery.
I sent this Gomer Pyle video to TWill:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3LpriSmxM&NR=1
Hope he has a laugh and shares with Brook and teammates.
Hopefully Avery remembers Gomer Pyle – Knucklehead.
TWill was just serving Thanksgiving Dinner (per his tweet) and deserves a Pet on head.
T-Will will be a better basketball player...

Avery cares about
his players on and off the court. T-Will just wants to play, maybe he is worried about someone taking his minutes.
Jerry have you ever seen the movie “No Time for Sergeants” with Andy Griffith? The whole story plot is similar to Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.

good to see
that Avery held him out because he knew Terrence was not ready physically.
Firm, but fair

Agree jerry25
Those were some of the best shows. I still love to watch the reruns. It would be interesting to see the statistics on the ages of the posters on Netsdaily. I’m guessing the majority are age 25 or younger.

LOL
I doubt T-Will has a clue who Gomer Pyle is dude

He will now, at least he will be curious for 1 minute if he clicks on his tweets.
But I’m sure Brook has been compared to Gomer before.
Maybe Avery will have a special showing for the team – Knuckleheads.
hmph
maybe that’s a good sign if he doesn’t want to upset Avery. that’s a sign of respect.
Growing pains, sigh….he’ll get it.

Brook dunks so easily at times. He had one reverse 2 handed dunk in Nugget game.
We’ve seen him many times make a move from 12 feet from the basket and somehow finish with a Dunk.
Other times he’s just a Knucklehead.

Oh no…

What a tragic story. I feel so sorry for the family.

our co captains
If Dev and Brooklyn turned in more games like their better games – if they had been playing the way we really expect – we’d have a much better record. If these guys are going to be the NBA players we hope, they need to play their A game and turn in A performances at least 80% of the time. Right now it’s 20% and 0%.
These 2 didn’t just join the team. I want them to be the bedrock.
I agree
Harris lost some of his intensity after the Clippers game and Brook has been soft.
Both need to step up, play hard, and lead by example
this team lacks leadership on the floor. Devin is the oldest so he needs to be a leader. Brook is 22 but he has to play with some fire, some toughness. If he can give us 2/3rds of what The Hump brings every night emotionally he would be cracking skulls out there
Glad to hear Avery is not taking Brook’s crap. He needs to push him until he’s had enough of a 5’11 man kicking his teeth in and goes out on the court and fights back.
Stop being a coward Lopez. He’s played with more heart and desire in the past two years than he has after the first ORL game.

Agree, that Orlando game done something to Brook. He has not been the same since.

maybe he needs to speak with a sports psychologist?
Seriously, it’s like he’s a totally different person. He showed some fire in our 2nd game against them but afterwards he’s just regressed.
I want the surly, angry Brook back that wasn’t afraid to play with his back to the basket and get to the line for some much needed FTA’s. This guy who is posing as him is an absolute kitten

Maybe he has
some personal things he’s dealing with? For sure something isn’t right. Brook should really be starting to come into his own, with this being his third season ,instead he looks like a rookie.
