Power Rankings: ''Double D" Wins
That would be the combination of Devin Harris and DEE-Fense. As John Schuhmann and Marc Stein point out, if the Nets are going to win anything, they're will have to rely on both unless of course they get a Christmas present from Denver.
The Nets won two games this week, so they moved up a little, or at least didn't fade. Stein moves them up three places to #24, Schuhmann moves them up one, also to #24. John Hollinger keeps them at #25. How important is Harris to the Nets? Stein respondes, "New Jersey is 7-1 when Harris scores at least 21 ... and 1-19 when he doesn't."

Pick and roll with Brook...
…team went away from it…why, Avery?
do FO's take off holidays?
will people be working around the clock (throughout the holiday season) to improve this teams situation? i hope so, though i can’t expect it of them. NOR do i think any professional athlete wants to concern themselves with moving teams, cities and their families during a time of the year where many, if not all people, are travelling and spending time with their families
Devin should be looking to
score the basketball more, he looks timid at times. I would rather see Harris score 20 than Lopez score twenty.
from a Nets fan point of view?
or from someone who wants to watch good, exciting basketball being played well?
Brook’s scoring right now either comes in a flash and then fades, or is a 4-quarter struggle. Apparently Devin’s offense is a bigger game-changer. Until the coaches find a more efficient way to get these guys going, that’s the way it’s gotta be.

We need to play off of Devin until we can get some help in here
the record does not lie. When Harris is giving us offensive production, we’re a better team.
Brook needs less on his plate until he can get back to his old self. Plus, I think we need to just get him through this season any which way that we can so during the summer he can put in the work on his frame/game that he didn’t get to due to mono.

I think the 7-1 record with Harris demonstrates that stars matter
I bet the Knicks have a good record when Amare scores 30+. Same with any team and their respective star player. It’s a star’s league.

Sure it does, but that's not the point
You need a go-to scorer. Harris gets 20+ when he’s hot. When he’s hot, teams treat him like a star, and the rest of the team takes advantage of that.
I get it
Nowadays to be a “winner” you must put 2 or 3 stars together. Sure, that can work, but there are other ways to build a successful team. A team that can defend, own the glass, and execute their offense because they have chemistry.

This Assessment is Dead Wrong.
Devin is a defensive liability.
Even if he’s scoring, he gives away almost as many points in putrid D and to’s.
And when he’s not it’s even more glaring.
Look at the loss in Toronto(on him) OR the win last night(2nd unit won that game).
Brook’s falling apart(or lack of development) is also partly on Devin. He continues to give Brooke and the big men the rock too far from the hoop, in terrible spots, or just plain lousy entry passes.
Yes he can score. But that in itself is fool’s gold, especially on this type if unit.
by Jron on Dec 20, 2010 2:02 PM EST via mobile reply actions
second unit won that game…rightt
-So without Devin’s 22, 6, and 8 we wouldve won by 20?
And Brook posting up at the foul line is Devin’s fault too. And being the only player on our team that can create his own shot is fool’s gold? ??
by Mike LaMonica on Dec 20, 2010 2:08 PM EST up reply actions
He's not w/o faults
but being 7-1 when he has a productive night offensively tells me that we need him to produce out there.
I can blame Harris for being a subpar passer in regards to getting brook the ball, Sasha looks like the only Net that knows how to throw a proper entry pass, but with Lopez taking a step backwards this year we need Harris’ ability to score at the rim and in the mid range. He’s the only player on the team that can create his own shot.

All kidding aside, Outlaw can create his own shot. The injury has severely limited his game because it appears as if there’s a mental-hump he needs to get over (unless he’s not completely healthy).
Despite what we see game in and game out, Outlaw is extremely athletic. He can finish in the lane and when I say finish I mean he can FINISH. If he drove more he could get to the line and open up the perimeter game while also increasing his convinced. I think it’s a mental-thing with Outlaw, he’s a lot better than he’s shown.

Seriously though, he has looked good at times. Good. Not Great. Just good. And that was in maybe 4 or 5 of 28 games. I’m sorry but for me that doesn’t really warrant more than 7 or 8 mins a game. And with the time he is getting, he should be showing that he can indeed get to the rim and FINISH as you say, instead of ‘creating’ his own 25 foot jump shots. That isn’t going to get him back into the rotation. We need a guy that can consistently get to the rack. BRING VINCE BACK!

You’re being facetious, right? Vince could score thirty a game if he wanted to, but he didn’t like the pounding he took by penetrating so he thrived off fade-aways.
If Outlaw drove more he could really open up his game. He hast the athleticism to finish, like I said.

I admire your optimism
but nothing I’ve seen from him has shown he can drive to the basket with consistency without losing the ball. I believe he can shoot and create his own shot, but he just doesnt appear to be a good ball-handler, which I don’t think is mental as getting shots to go down.

Avery and mono are the reasons for Brooke’s regression. Devin and Brook used to have great chemistry, Harris always knew where Brook wanted the ball and where. Now Brooke can’t get any alleys and completely forgot what a pick-n-roll was.

If he indeed told the Nuggets it's Knicks or nobody
Then there’s nothing about that statement that contradicts his request. It just means “wherever” = New York.
The fact that he said he would sign it wherever he goes, and then asked even with the Nets, and he says “I don’t know”.

Lopez has sucked while getting his 19
but he’s young and coming off a bad off season so keep him around
He should be great at doing it
I mean stinks the floor and still score 19 points per game…..
Official Member of the "DO NOT TRADE DERRICK FAVORS" Movement
He’s shooting over 44% from the field. That’s not really that bad. It may not look pretty but his game isn’t about looking pretty.
He may be coming along slowly on the defensive end, but you can’t say he’s not improving, albeit slower than we’d hope.
44% from the field as a big man isn't that bad? That would be not bad for a guard, not someone who plays inside
He only averaged 7 boards a game in college. Teams weren’t expecting him to grab 15 rebounds a game at the next level.
I can go with that,
But if the Nets are going to keep him, we need a rebounding machine next to him.
I’m not saying he’s going to carry this franchise, but look at other big men crumbling around the league. In the age of Bynum, Yao and Oden, we have a very young 7 footer who hasn’t missed a game yet! Give him time.
Yeah
but Brook Lopez is not a citizen of the People’s Republic of China and won’t be forced to play basketball year round, destroying his body in the process.

Not only this
but I think we’re seeing the end of the super huge centers. I think this game has reached a turning point where you can just be too big and lumbering for your own good. Brook is a giant human being and Yao has a good six inches of height and 50 lbs. of mass over him. Most of the centers with constant injuries are the guys who are built like traditional 7’2", 300 lbs centers. I think Shaq is probably going to be the last of his kind.
Yeah but unfortunately 4th quarters are played, defense is played
and double teams exist. This year it seems like all brook is good for is scoring 20 points in 3 quarters than he become a complete liability
How many fouth Q points he scored?
Can somebody find that stat….

He said Harris needs to SHOOT. I’m getting sick of him bricking 3’s. Harris needs to ATTACK THE RIM is more like it. I never thought I’d say it but… We need a little more dribble drive offense from Devin. We have shooters in Sasha and Outlaw (sorta). Drive and kick, Devin.

he did get hurt
thats why we didnt make the playoffs that year
I don't see why everyone rags on Harris as a playmaker
His assist rate isn’t very far from Deron Williams, and is better than Russell Westbrook or Derrick Rose. Yet, no one gives Rose a hard time even if he’s a lackluster distributor when it’s not a kickout situation
well
Rose is a better player and leads his team.

Again...
I said Harris was half responsible. Avery owns the other half if messing w/Brooke’s fragile game and head.
But if you really watched last night’s game:
Any of the 5,6 and 10 pt leads that were built last night, were built when Devin was not on the floor(save a portion of the 4th). Those leads were built when Machine and Farmar were on the floor. What many mistook during those ‘defect’ portions, was Devin shooting well enough to maintain or stay within 6 or 8. The point: a real point guard doesn’t cause a team to go 1-20 on the nights he can’t get his shot to go down.

Yeah, what's with the "ad libbing" on offence?
Can’t these guys learn a few set plays?
BTW, has anyone noticed the good results when Brook does sucesfully post up, passes out of the double team and then re-posts (ala Stockton and Malone)? He always gets closer to the basket on the re-post and either gets a good shot off or finds the cutter now that he has every defender’s attention.

A lot of the stuff that I’m seeing from Brook this year can easily be corrected with proper practice and film study. Last year combined with the bout with mono may have done more damage than we’ve thought. Brook CLEARLY has developed some bad habits that can be fixed.

Of course
but not dumb shots from 30 feet out, his 3ptFG% has dipped from like 39% to 29% in like the last 10 games.
I prefer
that Harris keep the shooting to the mid range area, preferably when he does his patent pending ankle snapping crossover into pull up J. That is his bread and butter. Use it.

If we had to pick between having 1 SF and 3 PF (one is not getting playing time) which one would you pick? Murphy off the Bench and Favors starting (getting near that time,41st game)
Lopez/Petro
Favors/Murphy
Howard or Thornton or Hill/Outlaw
Morrow/Vujacic
Harris/Farmar
That’s a nice 8th seed.
You could chalk up Brook's struggles all up to mono
if not for the fact that his problems this year aren’t all physical. Sure he lost out on a ton of time, but how did that affect his passing awareness or his shot selection? These are concepts that don’t have to come with a new system, these are things you have intrinsically. You could possibly chalk it up to Avery as to why Brook is playing so far from the basket, but it isn’t the weight loss or system that tells him to try and put a shot up when double teamed even if it’s a completely terrible shot.

His rebounding is fundamentally wrong and he lacks the strength to get two hands up to get after the ball. This could have something to do with the summer he had to throw away. While most players were working on their game, a la Richard Jefferson nailing down the fundamentals, he was recovering from mono.
His shot selection is bad. That’s just youth. He’s young, remember? Hump had a bad shot selection until he was 25. he then “shortened” his game and look how his career and his numbers have taken off.
Unlike Hump, Brook has regressed, not improved
2009: 5.5 attempts at the rim
2010: 6.6 attempts at the rim
2011: 3.4 attempts at the rim
point is though
he’s young. Things like this can be improved upon.
If he was 25-26 years old regressing like this, then I’d be worried

I also think Avery got a little too excited and asked too much of Lopez early on this year. After talking him up and trying to give him confidence all off-season, suddenly and drastically shortening his leash may do bad things to the kid.
something has to give
he’s doing a lot of fundamentally flawed things out there that need to be corrected. Either he’s mentally cut out for this job or he’s not.

Here are Brook's comparables
NBA players in their 3rd year and below, 22 years old and below, 7’0" tall and above, who have a total rebounding percentage of 10.5% and below, a FG% of 45% and below, and points per 36 minutes of 19.6 and below. Hello Andrea Bargnani and Dirk Nowitzki
It is little deceiving
Yes Brook has the highest FG% but he is a Center and Andrea Bargnani and Dirk Nowitzki are PF shooting from the perimeter. Brook has regressed this season but he is not as bad as many think and definitely should not be traded no matter what. He will bounce back soon.
Official Member of the "DO NOT TRADE DERRICK FAVORS" Movement
But that's the thing
Brook may be a center, but he’s playing like a three point shooting PF, ergo the similarly low fg% and rebounding percentage
Good point
Is there a coincidence between his sudden change in play, and the former coach of Dirk becoming his head coach??

Long story short, I used that criteria to find out who Brook has been playing similarly to this season
Why would you only use this season?
Coming into the year, Brook’s statistical comps included guys like Pau Gasol and Al Jefferson.
And even with his low FG% and terrible shot selection, Brook has still been productive. He just hasn’t been the Nets best player like last year. Harris has played very well.
Official Member of The Ancient Mystic Society of No Melo
It means he's having a down year... so far... less than 30 games into the season.
It’s just that we have 164 other games that say we should expect better. It’s very likely that we’ll get it at some point.
So, I don’t really see the point of looking a statistical comps based on 30 games and not 194 games… unless your point is to be disingenuous.

Oh and did modify this since then
Went with rebound percentage (percentage of all available rebounds grabbed) rather than per game

These may be better comparables for Brook showing overall talent:
Height 6’10" (two inches doesn’t make a difference)
Simply seasons 22 years or younger.
TS% .56 (last year’s total)
USG% 20.3 (lowest career number)
Points: 16
TRB%:13.5
Sorted by PER
The question is: Is Avery trying to bring out this kind of player, or simply a Dirk who is not a Dirk?
Brook is NOT Dirk
Avery would be a fool if he didn’t realize this. Dirk doesn’t play like a 7 footer, Brook absolutely does as seen in some of his faults, especially ball handling and speed, and doesn’t when he should, i.e. mediocre rebounding and crouching down really low when he does post. Brook will never have that smooth turnaround or spot up shooting that Dirk does, but Dirk has never had as many post moves as Brook has and is capable of learning.
Honestly though I don’t think Avery is trying to get him to shoot outside instead of post-up, I just think Brook often has trouble getting the ball down low, so if he is on that part of the court when he receives the ball, he’s confident enough and effective enough to take the 18-footer. This isn’t Avery’s doing, I’m sure Avery realizes Brook is most dangerous when he receives the ball in or right outside the paint.

There are specific things that can be done to get a center the ball deep in the post. These things are not being done for most of the game.

Oh oh oh
Here’s a guy we could add to improve our team:
Alonzo Gee
He’s looking like the odd man out in Washington with them needing a PG more. Quite some potential there
Sheridan seems to be backing off the guarantee that it'll only be the Knicks
Hi Chris, All the conventional wisdom (so to speak) has Melo eventually accepting his fate as an NJ Net. This obviously goes against what you reported. Are you still sure he only signs with NYK?
Chris Sheridan (2:35 PM)
The Nets still think they can get in his ear and convince him to sign the extension with them, and though I’m sure M.Prokhorov and Jay-Z can make a strong pitch (and B.King can make the best offer), I still give them and the other 27 teams only a 5 percent chance of getting ‘Melo. I’ve still got it at Knicks, 75 percent; Nuggets, 20 percent; rest of NBA: 5 percent.
From the Nuggets’ point of view, how much worse is the Knicks’ offer than the Nets’? Favors, Harris and picks sounds alot better than Landry Fields, Gallo and picks…
Chris Sheridan (2:51 PM)
Favors and three No. 1s trumps anything the Knicks can/will offer, and that will continue to be the case until the deal does or doesn’t go down. (other piece would be T.Murphy, not D.Harris, if it is a straight two-team deal). What matters most is whether Anthony will remain steadfast in his opposition to agreeing to sign an extension with anyone other than New York if he is traded. And if the Nets get shut out, they are well positioned to build a decent young team through the draft over the next two years and have a ton of cap space for the summer of 2012 free agent class.
So much for “trust me”
Nothing unreasonable there
His “Open Letter” was a travesty to unbiased journalism, but he’s not saying anything inappropriate in the above quotes.
He was told what he was told. Berger was told it too, from a source as close to Melo as you can get (I’m assuming his agent).
I disagree with his belief that the Knicks are 75% going to get him. I’d put there number around 25% because Denver doesn’t want to deal with them. Denver can now call Melo’s bluff about testing free agency, and force them to come an agreement on how to work this out.
If Denver refuses to deal with New York, and Melo refuses to sign with the Nets – they are at a standstill.

I’ve still got it at Knicks, 75 percent; Nuggets, 20 percent; rest of NBA: 5 percent.
