PrintThe lockout is over. Free agency is over. Preseason is over. Christmas is over. Time for Nets Basketball! The Nets traveled to Washington on Christmas night to get ready for Monday's much delayed and much anticipated Opening Night of the 2011-12 season...the Nets' last in New Jersey.
The Nets are still a work in progress. Brook Lopez is out for a month, having gone down last week. His replacement, Mehmet Okur, has gone through one full practice and may or may not start. He will play. Several other rotation players have had fewer than a week's worth of practices to get ready, including Kris Humphries, Shawne Williams and DeShawn Stevenson. But the Nets do have Deron Williams who of all the NBA's superstars has played the most competitive basketball since the lockout.
The Wizards are in the second year of their rebuilding, with few changes since the end of last season. John Wall claims he's grown an inch. He's that young. Big men JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche are back as well. The newest additions are rookies Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton and veterans Roger Mason Jr. and Ronny Turiaf, both ex-Knicks. The game will be broadcast on YES.

We're going to have to win a lot for Brook it looks like
But I think this team can be better than many people realize
D-Will > Carmela
What a christmas gift!
First, the lakers remove themselves fr the race for Dwight, then the nets get to open their season against the wizards!
Don't believe that Lakers aren't still the favorite place as far as ORL is concerned.
Hopefully a “bum” knee will take the Lakers off that list as soon as Bynum returns from his suspension for being a Bully and a Bad Sport.
I can't get over the fact that some of you guys are so sure that D12 is a sure thing.
Haven’t we learned anything from LeBron and Melo? They were sure things too.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

The only difference is....
We were never Bron’s or Melo’s 1st choice.
Howard has put us 1st. He want to be here. It’s just a matter of time before he is.

don't put too much on this game
guys haven’t played together. Gonna be sloppy.
JJ for 3!
I'm not too optimistic about a win tbh
especially w/ these first few games. Hump, Okur, & Stevenson have had no time really so who knows how many minutes they’ll get. Lot of question marks.
Right now I just want t o see us be competitive and not get blown out.
And Shawne to that list.
That is 4 important players and Nets need good games from both Hump and Okur.
Where is the scoring going to come from if Nets hope to get 100 pts. in a victory some day?
Lots of shooters
Ammo
SwWill
Okur
Farmar
Brook
Few rebounders

no clue
we have no established scorer.
People will be BEGGING for Brook Lopez back after a few weeks imo. Not because the team will be necessarily bad, but our offense will be brutal with no post offense and a lack of scoring off of the dribble.

the thread we have all been waiting for! it's great to have Nets basketball back (yes,even if some wish there weren't a season)
we could pull this win off…I hope.
Gonna be a good one
With a young core or Wall, Young, Crawford, McGee and Blatche they look pretty formidable. But on paper looks like we match up pretty well. We just need to take the ball off nof Wall’s hands to disrupt the offensive flow and we’ll prob do alot of drive and kick out to our shooters to neutralize the interior defense of the Wizards.
Can’t wait for the Nets season to start! Gooooooooo Nets!!!!!
by Pinoy Nets on Dec 26, 2011 9:10 AM EST via mobile reply actions
hmm....
we pretty much know that what we saw in the two preseason games is not our current team, but they will need time to gel and develop chemistry.
Nets lose by 6.
and
also don’t forget we have guys that need to get into bball shape or learn the system

Tomorrow is gonna be really sloppy no matter what
Nets lack time together, Washington has a general lack of talent.
The Nets can win this if they can get Washington to settle for bad shots. Wall can be lured into jump shots, Blatche too, Crawford and Nick Young too. They can be a really really inefficient team if you don’t let them get out and run
ohhh

This is kind of an indication of what your expectations for the Nets should be
Don’t even start to talk about the playoffs when you’re not really sure you can beat Washington.
imo
regardless of what we don’t have on offense, the Nets need to make an 100% commitment on defense.
That is where points will come from, defensive pressure, creating turnovers, Williams getting the ball and pushing up the floor setting up open looks.

I think the Nets should use the fullcourt press with 3 pgs in game shape

Agree
Defense win a lot of games. Perimeter D is our core strength at this point, especially with Brook out, the only shot blocker we have is Petro, Hump and SheWill.
If we knock down our shots from deep and contain Wall we’ll be in great shape for a win tonight.

If anyone wants a little perspective...
Here was the Nets’ starting lineup the last time they played a regular season game:
PG: Farmar
SG: Graham
SF: Vujacic
PF: Gadzuric
C: Lopez
NetsDaily.com
Glad that BK didn't go the Gadz route after Lopez went down.
Okur may or may not have cost us AK47 (for now), but Center position is too important, and I am counting on DJames to be a decent SF.

Hey Guys, I went over to the Wizards site to see what they thought about this game, and I saw this.
First of all, the article is interesting. Besides that, the comments are what I’d like to point out. I was reading them and shaking my head and I realized that is probably how we sound to people from other teams – ridiculous.
For example
Now that would be a roster.
Our roster of misfit toys would become a roster of pretty good role players. Probably dump Crawford, Ndyie, and Seraphin.
Wall
Gordon or NY/ Lamb
Vesley/ Singleton
Love/ Blatche
DHoward
Another shooter or two, which could come from the 3 2nd round picks, or even package all of that and buy another 1st round pick out two.
I’d just like to keep it in perspective that we are the Nets before anyone takes anything for granted about the future of the team and how the national media views us.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.

I've seen several comments on here
that fall right into that category. Lets not act like we’re above that stuff.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 26, 2011 12:14 PM EST up reply actions
Eh I don't see the point.
Howard isn’t interested in the wizards and they have no one on the roster woth anything except Wall. I don’t see how this is indicative of people view nets or nets fans. Except for the occasional person that think Grnager or J Smith can be had for nothing we tend to be fairly realistic.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
They wonder why Howard would want to come here, etc.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
Perhpas but we have the best point in the nba imo
And everyone views as top 3. We are also reportred as the top desitnation for Howard. We have Brooklyn the nets get hard time in the national media but there is a world of difference between how Wizards and nets would be viewed in Howard chase. There is a reason Wizards are not mentioned. Even so this is just an insane fan dream team with no bearing in reailty and would be just as insane from a nets fan. Not really an indication of anything imo.

Deron is 6 in the league imo
He’s also the only top 20 player in the game. I’m not sure where I would place Wall I’d have to evaluate that carefully but he isn’t top 20 in any case.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Not at this point for sure...
I want to be optimistic and maybe this team will surprise us!
I remember a top 10 player named Jason Kidd going up against a much heralded unproven rookie named Jason Williams on the Bulls…The kid went off for is 1st (and last I believe) triple double.
Point being, lets hope this is not the start of Walls ascention into the top 20 players!!!!!
in our first game...
Our dream point guard from years ago in wall goes up against our dream point guard of today. This will be a good game starting with the point guard matchup

Should be able to pull out a win even if the Wiz did beat us last year. I know we haven’t played together but the wizard are an awful team.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
nets have been pretty awful themselves
last year’s last visit to washington was a travesty of epic proportion
Williams not healthy etc.
Some roster upgrades, some time for Williams to get to know some players. Even with Brook out the nets have the talent but maybe not the chemistrey to win. The nets won more games last year and whats more they have better (not saying much) players.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
AMMO better find hid shot
If he isnt making his shot he
-Cant dribble
-Cant fast break (lopez is still faster then him with a broken foot)
- Cant Dunk

the last pre season game
it was clear from the knicks there focus early on the defensive end was bottling up anthony morrow. Take him out of the game early which makes everything a lot tougher on the other guys offensively
Morrow had a lot of open looks
and they didnt go down.
Guys, stop worrying about AMMO. He’ll be fine!!
yeah he had a lot of open looks as the game went on
but they played him physical early on which took him out of his game and gave him no chance to getting his rhythm.
I think for the first time we are playing withOut Lopez in three seasons... We will win.
There will be toughness defense strong mental game no pouting a winning spirit. Brook was the last member of that 12 win group. We have to let those days go and bring a new era in Nets basketball.
The 11-12 season will be one for the ages. “a jersey tale”.
The starting lineup is:
Deron
Morrow
James
She. Williams
Petro
is that the starting lineup?
Hump should start over Sheldon Williams
And if Morrow doesn’t hit his shot early, he will come out for Brooks or Stevenson.
Avery says that Shawne and DeShawn aren’t ready for big minutes.
Must Win!
I know it is the first game of a screwed up season, but this is still a must win for us.
WHY?
Washington Stinks. Our best player will cover their best player. We need to set the tone for the entire year tonight. We must win games versus teams that we SHOULD BEAT. Because we won’t win too many games against the playoff bound teams. Look for THE HUMPH to show us how pissed off he is. Look for 25 points from DWILL and ten assists. We beat them by ten tonight. GO NETS!

Knowing Avery, he will give significant minutes to Farmar, including PT with DWill and limited minutes for Brooks.
Will DWill be covering Wall, regardless?
I think Stevenson will
But I think no matter who we put on him, Wall will carve them up. Maybe James’ length and size can do something about him though, the same way Paul George did with Rose
I don't like how Avery doesn't give rookies a chance
Brooks barely played in the preseason. Its like we need Ammo to get hurt to see a good amount of Swag.

even the coaches and teammates know its going to happen. I like RA but i have never seen him play so aggressive like he wants to be a big name. think he is trying to boost his trade value while he can and get out of dodge
the rest of the guys aside from Dwight make Lebrons 07 and 08 Cavs teams look like the 80’s celtics and the magic would be more than fortunate to be able to “dump” any of them

The commercial is incredible
I really like the quality of NBA commercials now. They are much better than they used to be.

How about some predictions for the season?
I’m predicting Nets finish 33-33 7th or 8th in the East.

expensive?
cheapest tickets are like 5 bucks good sir.
looking at the pic up top just reminds me
too many teams are wearing red, white and blue lately.
waited too late
i guess i waited too late.. all the good tickets are kind of expensive considering that I am going with my whole family. wanted to see if there was an alternative to stubhub were I could still find a much cheaper tickets. thank you for responding though
Well, let this final season in NJ..
begin.. :( Hopefully they can somehow sneak into the playoffs and end the NJ era on a positive note.
