Game 16 - Nets @ 76ers - Saturday, November 27, 7:30

As Terrence Williams heads north--amid new details on his problems, the rest of the Nets head south along the Turnpike to their first of four meetings with the 76ers.  On arrival, the story line will shift from T-Will to homecoming.  Billy King, dumped by Philly in 2008, will be bringing his new team to the newly renamed Wells Fargo Center for the first time. Awaiting him, ironically enough, will be the guy who hired him in New Jersey, Rod Thorn, and the guy who replaced him in Philadelphia, Ed Stefanski. 

As for Williams, there are new reports of him being late for a team plane, a team bus, a game, and new spin about his demotion, uh, evaluation.  Look for Damion James, coming off a nice performance vs. the Celtics, to get more minutes in Williams' absence, along with Stephen Graham, who beat the Sixers with a buzzer beater in preseason.  Troy Murphy may also play.

The 76ers are a miserable 3-13, two and a half games behind the Nets in the Atlantic Division. They have other problems, too. Doug Collins, their new coach, has been troubled by vertigo.  They have the worst attendance in the NBA, rumors are swirling about an Andre Iguodala trade and just last night they returned home from a nine-point loss in Miami vs. the Heat, their third straight and eighth in their last nine games. Statisically, they're not particularly bad at anything, just mediocre at everything. Expect Thorn to be questioned about T-Will.  Don't expect him to say much.

We’ll take a buzzer beater by Graham, but I don’t see the game being that close this time. The Nets will win this one by 12 points.

I think we win this game...

but if we play the “right” way and lose, I will still be content.

If you haven’t noticed, Avery Johnson and Co. are trying to create a new mind set for this organization. Behave like professionals and play a system that stresses defense play first and foremost.

Once that these two objectives are achieved, we will land ourselves a “scorer” and a lot of these “close” losses will become wins !

Usually nothing of value worth having in life comes easy…

Lets Go Nets…

P.S. The T-Will demotion has been sad, but it might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened for him and ultimately the Nets…

Not to the sixers. We have to win this game. There are very few teams in the league that I can say are games we are suppose to win and this is one of them. A loss here is unacceptable.

"A loss here is unacceptable" ?

A loss here would not be enjoyable, but we still would have to accept it, then move forward.

Nets fans have to understand that we are playing other NBA teams who have the same goals we have. They also have talented coaches and players who want to win too.

We might be able to “steal” wins by letting our players"cut loose", but that win would defeat our long term plans. We must learn to play the “right” way even though it could cost us the win…

the nets are a better team than the sixers

Sure they have the same goals, that’s not the point. The point is that even the Nets wouldn’t be content losing to philly, regardless if they play the game “right.” You can’t lose to teams you’re supposed to beat. It already happened against Charlotte and it can’t happen again.

I understand your point and respect your idealism, but “crap” happens in real life.

You can’t send the whole team to D-League if we lose tonight.

I believe we beat Philly tonight, but if we don’t, we have to keep going forward with a positive approach.

More thoughts on the T-Will situation...

Over the holiday I was re-reading Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s “Notes From The Underground”, which by the way is a very funny book, and Dostoyevsky discusses at length the notion that “man” will always act with their best interests in mind, “man” will always do what’s best for themselves. He argues that this belief is not always the case. He even goes so far to say that “man” will deliberately screw things up for various reasons, one of those reasons being sheer boredom…

When I heard T-Will got demoted Friday I thought to myself, “Fyodor, you must be a Nets fan”…and “T-Will, you might just be bored”…Oh well…

"I have seen the NBA's future and its name is Derrick Favors"

by M I K E on Nov 27, 2010 9:38 AM EST reply actions  

as you know

we often have posters quoting Dostoyevsky to buttress their arguments. I recall one just the other day from jerry25. :-)

All kidding aside, I think what you say has some relevance, but claims of boredom are often used to mask anxiety. So is arrogance. It’s these type of things that a Director of Player Programs could address (not to mention a board psychologist). I hope the Nets do fill that position and I hope that whoever does get it has some psychological background. Cuban had a psychologist on staff at one point…along with a shooting coach. T-Will could have used both.

by Net Income on Nov 27, 2010 10:16 AM EST up reply actions  

An on staff psychologist is a good idea. Look at Ron Artest and the way he has channeled his anxiety in a positive manner. I believe at one time during the NBA finals his personal psychologists even traveled with him.

Any chance we jump in on a possible Iggy trade?

I think he would be a good addition to our starting lineup. He would really solidify some things defensively.

He’s not the superstar we’re starved for or anything, but he seems like he could be an Avery Johnson kind of guy. The 2004 Champion Pistons team didn’t have a superstar. They played very good team defense and worked very well as one cohesive unit.

Latest on TWill being late for Atlanta game is now posted under TWill sent to Springfield.

http://www.northjersey.com/sports/pro_sports/basketball/nets/110898329_Williams_farmed_to_D-League.html

TWill said that he was pulled over by police (as reason for being late to Atlanta game).
TWill had just been warned on West Coast trip about being late.

Funny, I didn’t think being pulled over takes more than 10 minutes and he should be able to produce a ticket or warning to prove it. Maybe TWill should plan on being 30 minutes early so that he can get much needed work in.

Avery also said that lately TWill had been taking more 3 pointers lately than free throws!

 I think he dissed either his teammates or coaches something by itself either cannot be divulged so the minor offenses are being labeled.
Point is he is a useful piece but that means nothing if he cannot be a teamplayer in a team sport
Team would like him to channel his anger energy in a positive way for his sake he better get it otherwise his career will end pretty quickly

Don’t cast Terrence aside just yet. He has a chance at redeeming himself. I for one hope that is what happens. When he’s playing to his strengths he is an invaluable asset to this team.
This stint in the D-League may just be what it takes for him to get serious. Time will tell, the ball is in his court now, it’s up to him.

TWill with a better head on his shoulder can be as good as Rudy

different but as good. When I see TWill in ISo he gets tothe basket easier than anyone else on our team. He sees the court well and plays good D. he just doesn’t do what he will succeed at. TWill taking the ball to the basket can average 18 easily.But he doesn’t use that part of his game so Dnt understand why net fans been so high on him

He was banned from NetDaily with his first and only comment...LMAO

He waited 24 hours to comment and was so happy and anxious, then zap NetsDaily bans him. All his older brothers were ROFL. I though maybe he cussed the Nets fans and the comment was deleted. I said “Jeffrey, what the heck did you post when I wasn’t looking?”.

He’s scared to post now. I’m probably going to watch the game tonight with him and his 3 brothers. There all Knicks fans but do keep their eyes on the Nets…I’m buying the Pizza so I’m hoping for some support from these guys !

That is probably the reason he got banned. Tell him that I thought he was adorable and not to give up on posting. NetsDaily always needs new points of view especially from the youth.

J E F F's older brother 22...

went to UCONN and couldn’t make the Men’s team, but he’s was a good player and such a sweet kid, so the women’s UCONN’s team had him practice against them. UCONN"s women’s team is so good because they practice against men…

found this...Popovich on Johnson

“If he has trouble with a player or if there is somebody who doesn’t buy in, it’s because the guy doesn’t have the character and mental toughness to persevere and understand that things don’t come easy,” added Popovich. “If somebody is not willing to put in the time and the effort, that guy is not going to play for Avery. He’s looking for men.”

TRADE:
Murphy to a veteran team in exchange for a young player. Use him for a while and if he isn’t used for Melo, send him to a Celtic kind of team and i gurantee they will be willing to give up a young guy, if Murph is even playing decent.

For example,
Murphy for Terrence Williams

Brook

Brook should (key word being should) have a great game against the height challenged 76ers tonight. If Devin can put up 20-25 points, and one of Morrow or Outlaw has a good game, I see this being a solid (5-10) point win for the Nets.
