The Hawks are 2-0, with an average margin of victory of 32 points. They haven't been behind in 96 minutes of play and exude a confidence that they can play with the big boys in the East. But their wins have come against the Nets and Wizards, two teams dealing with early struggles.
For the Nets, Friday night's contest will mean another back-to-back and their fourth game in five nights and third on the road. With so many of their players joining the team late --Kris Humphries, DeShawn Stevenson and Mehmet Okur not becoming Nets until the last few days before the season-- the Nets have barely had time to practice and virtually no time to adjust to the loss of Brook Lopez. Their only bright spots are the superb early play of Marshon Brooks and the realization that Deron Williams and Anthony Morrow won't play this badly the rest of the year.
Brooks will be playing before family and friends for the first time. Although born in New Jersey, the Nets third leading scorer played his high school ball in nearby Stone Mountain, winning a state championship at Tucker High School.

ATL won't be expecting much from Nets.
The element of Surprise is our best chance.

I don’t recall seeing him lately, yet we are having thousands of posts.

Has been home the last week without computer access. But never fear. He is on his way this very minute to Florida and for the next 3 weeks he will be burning it up 24/7 on NetsDaily!
Lol, don’t say I didn’t warn you…
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven"
It doesn't show in the box score, but most of the players (except for Hump and DJames) looked better with each game.
The Nets are deep with good bench players (3 at Center now). This will pay off with all the back to backs.
Except for Hump (who is a semi-Robot), no one played big minutes last night, so Nets should be much more prepared that Tuesday game, when Avery gave up in the 2nd half.
I still want the same starting lineup, but of course MarShon needs to come into the game sooner. Stevenson should be first off the bench at SF.
Man we suck
right now. If Dwill doesn’t drop 20-8 and and 3 turnovers we are done every game. He has to show up. Its that simple.
this
20 points from D-Will could have swung that orlando game in another direction.

No way dude
Gaines is not starting material . Brooks or Stevenson has to start at guard.
by Zartan on Dec 30, 2011 8:21 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
No one said he is starting material, but he is probably starting for now, until Marshon gets some more learning.
Stevenson needs to come off the bench for a Spark, at either SF or SG.
At SF or SG?
He is getting to be too valuable to risk getting into foul trouble early.
does it matter?
I just start Stevenson/Brooks and go for broke
James is awful. I dunno what happened between the washington game and last night but the dude stinks

I look at stevenson as a defender and a guy that will step up to hit a shot or two, not really a scorer.
Morrow is just giving us absolutely nothing. He’s had like one good qtr in 3 games so far.

I woke up to confirm that the Knicks got trounced again. Kobe enjoyed showing Melo who is the better player.
The Chuckster now says Knicks aren’t a very good team.
The addition of Chandler has its consequences. Knicks gave up a serviceable Center in Turiaf, lost their 3rd best player and team leader in Billups and with another 58 million in payroll, locked up any freedom in cap space.
Knicks can’t even trade for Steve Nash if they wanted to. Not even close.
i never though they will be a really good team but i still think they are decent though
baron Davis still hasnt played yet but i still think them giving chandler near max money was dumb and just ruined their flexibility completely
Does someone know whether Davis has a herniated disc or a bulging disc, and which disc?
Davis, 32, may miss eight to 10 weeks with a herniated disc in his back, the New York Post reported, citing Davis’s agent, Todd Ramasar.
Herniated disc is pretty serious for someone in their early 30s.
Any worsening and surgery could be necessary.
Physical Therapy doesn’t do much to address the problem.
If its only a bulging disc maybe Baron can finish the year.
Still, as Kenny Smith says, Baron hasn’t been his old self for 4-5 years.
It the same thing!
L.J had it , galinari had it (surgery !) and tayshaun Prince has it. I have it and you can give five good mins. Before you back gives out.
by Zartan on Dec 30, 2011 9:27 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Its not the same thing according to Radiologists.
They don’t usually do surgery for a Bulging disc, but Do for a herniated disc if it impinges on the nerve. Then surgery is recommended.
The media may not be properly understanding the risk involved.
Does anyone know if it is at the Lumbar Level of spine (less likely to recommend surgery than say Cervical region).?
So What
I agree that the Knicks will be a shell of what they thought they could be but right now we need to get our house together.
yep
Knicks can bounce back from 1-2. Nets don’t even look like an NBA team right now.

Lots of teams are going to struggle early
lockout, limited training camps and preseason, plus a torrid schedule. It will be a lost season for many teams this year
We win this game
Morrow will be playing at home also. His shot will come back.
Okur looked more comfortable out there last nite.
Marshon gonna have an off game due too jitters. I expect a good game from Deron Hump Morrow Okur and Stevenson.
Stevenson on Joe Johnson early please!
jitters?
that kid is playing with more balls right now than Deron Williams and Anthony Morrow put together.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 30, 2011 8:08 AM EST up reply actions
He's pressing. Marshon is clearly more talented and will take is job quickly
but its no excuse. Ammo is a good shooter. I don’t know why he’s hesitating.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 30, 2011 8:15 AM EST up reply actions
No i think
its just simply will take time for him to get his shot. Brooks and Morrow can start.
It's Horner time
Morrow = doghouse
Petro = timeout
Gaines = watch and learn from the great Farmar

DeShawn – Brooks
James – Williams
Hump – Horner
Okur – Williams

the only good thing that he did last night was he attempted to penetrate but his ability to pass is so piss poor that he missed open looks for his teammates.

Where are all the Brook Lopez haters now?
without him nothing is going right……and like do our playerss even practice besides brooks everyone has been missing wide open shotttsss and even deron but i have good feeling that this game deron will hit 40 pointss watch out and brooks 20 or wise versaaa
How many games we win with him ?
He’ll get his points and we’d still lose by 20. Lopez is no Dwight Howard.
Don’t know about you but I want to win games, not look good losing.
by Zartan on Dec 30, 2011 9:32 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
This will be a 16 point loss
sorry guys, just don’t see this bunch winning games until D-Will plays like he gives a damn
Kenny Smith and Chuck said last night that you’re all in or you’re not and the way D-Will is playing says that he’s not all in and the Lopez injury may have just killed everything(in terms of Deron playing hard).
Deron’s mindset very well may be “the hell should i play hard for…this team stinks.”
Sorry, but when we have a kid as our leading scorer and our superstar PG not being able to buy a basket or take care of the ball apparently, we’re not winning any games against playoff caliber opponents anytime soon. If it wasn’t for Marshon, the Nets would have been totally unwatchable last night.
To me this is a excuse for him, your a superstar player, he should give a dam. Its not billy fault, if he knew brook was going down, he would have signed Nene. He should be happy he isn’t playing with outlaw or graham or any scrubs. He’s actually playing with good roles players. Starting to believe, billy should have just kept favors and that 3rd pick

the guy is my favorite player on the team right now because he, a frickin KID, is going out there and playing like a man while veteran players around him are not leading by example.
It’s honestly pretty shameful that this guy plays harder than everyone else.

certain players on this team looks so out of game shape
how many passes are you going to fumble from DERON WILLIAMS?! Deron’s getting 6 turnovers a game and at least 4 of them has been caused by players not being able to catch the ball. I’ll be frustrated too, regardless of whether i shot good that night or not
NO Sir
2 maybe but he isn’t doing what he needs and can do to make this team better.
yeah
i can’t pin all of the TOs on the bums. He is an elite PG who is being reckless as all hell with the ball
by MrDollarBills on Dec 30, 2011 8:19 AM EST up reply actions
uhhh wasnt he taking it to the paint against howard on multiple possessions trying to find someone who can make a score?
I dont see this Deron negativity when i see him, i think he’s trying to find someone on the roster who can put the ball in the hole and not fumble a pass, he was in the paint too many times to be considered ‘not trying.’ Add that with the lockout and the huge void of a post presence, something Deron has had throughout whole career, is a recipe for disaster.
eh I agree to a point
but the carelessness with the ball and the shot leave a lot to be desired.

playing hard also means getting it done even when your shot isn’t falling and taking care of the ball. Williams is not playing to his full capability clearly and he may not care

its unfair to compare, but take Kidd for instance. If Kidd’s shot wasn’t falling, like it rarely did back when he played for us, he’d do other things to get the team over the hump

he just goes out there and jacks up jumpers and doesn’t take care of the ball, I understand the talent around him is brutal but he isn’t playing hard enough to set the tone.

And you guys better hope
that the Nets aren’t too hung over to show up against Cleveland on sunday because looking at the schedule that may be our last chance to get a win in awhile, and imo I think the Cavs can beat us.
Poscards from the edge...
The only 3 "players" out there tonight: (Okur, Stevenson, Brooks)
The problem: (Old, Crazy, Rookie) – So unlikely to get consistency there.
Morrow is NOT a starter in this league (And b/c of his "style" might not be much of a bench guy either – no energy; no-defense)
Deron Williams has hands like Rocks, is a Turnover machine, and Seems to be a Chucker.
Not for 1 game should ANYONE…EVER make me miss Devin Harris…

Oh I agree...I hate Harris's "game"
But to make me think of him for one night, means Deron Williams is either dialing it in and or sending a message. It’s like he had a Kidd-“migraine.”
He has played 8 out of 10 Quarters like a clown so far.
And I thought he was the guy who was in tip top shape from Turkey ball this fall, hmmmm…

he’s played horribly.

like seriously?
by MrDollarBills on Dec 30, 2011 8:41 AM EST up reply actions
No way is Harris better, but
Deron did not seem to be at the top (or middle) of his game against Atlanta. Last night he was running more, pushing the pace more, getting into the paint, but the TOs and poor shooting were killing us. He is making a lot of $. He’s got to be a professional, go out there, and play at the level he’s capable of playing at.
Harris looked better at this point last year
I think it’s more just a knock on Deron’s level of play when people are saying Harris played better. He needs to get it together, and fast.
No excuses. He should be in more shape than anyone else on the team because of Turkey.

And for the most part, only when served things on dinner plates, will he produce.

Morrow is part of the reason
why this team sucks. The dude cannot buy a bucket and when he is playing like that he is a liability on the court because he does not provide anything else.

He was never a starter. That was clear last year. He is along the lines of Korver, Capono, house and posey. Guys with the primary role of setting themselves up behind the 3pt line and just shooting. That is it.

There is no rhythm at all to this team, and he feeds off the rhythm of the team. DWIll made some sweet moves last night but couldn’t even get that floater to drop when he was 12 inches from the rim.
DWill
Stevenson
James
Hump
Okur
I know a lot of you are down on James, but he’s a second year guy and was hurt most of last year.
He scored our first bucket because he can actually hit a mid-j but doesn’t take bad shots. It’s no just him who’s missed passes from DWill.
We need DWill at the point creating, stevenson playing D and shooting open shots with conifdence.
James and Hump give up hustle, D, and fninshers.
Okur is beginning to get comfortable.
Bring Gaines, Brooks Shawne and Sheldon off the bench.
We can win. And we will.
oh wow you just reminded me of
that one move that he had last night where he split the defense at the foul line and made the sick lay up at the basket

lets face facts: this team is bad. We aren’t going to win with a roster this unbalanced.
These guys need wide open looks to be effective and they’re not getting them.
I also put a lot of this at Avery’s feet because his offensive philosphy is just as bad if not not worse than Lawrence Frank’s
its crazy how Mark Jackson has his boy in GS running hard. We can’t even find guys that can be bothered to catch a ball

I think you guys are really
unerestimating the fact that we’ve only practiced for a week before the season, and it was all centered around Brook.
No team has had the kind of turnover and loss of a player we have. It will take time to figure out how to fix it.
I’m glad Avery’s being proactive. I thought last nights lineup, was a good move, it just didn’t work that well.
Doesn’t mean he won’t find the right mix.
This team is built to wait for Dwight

The losing culture here is viral
Expectations of losses, injuries and baffling performances by elite athletes. I don’t know what it is about the Nets that makes players generally worse when they put on the uniform, but we have to rid ourselves of that.
Kidd did it for us, he was a true leader and everybody responded. Deron has to be that, but I don’t think he gives 2 damns about this roster. He wants a real team and Dwight is the only thing that will make that happen.
His teammates know it, the fans chant it, the GM is telling everyone you are only here temporarily and I’ll trade you on a whim for anything that gets us Dwight.
I get the plan, but it’s pushing this losing culture every day. It’s a virus that spreads and a looming cancer to the players.
Nothing we can do but hope for Dwight because if he doesn’t come, this is going to be an awful period for Nets fans.

Deron always had help in Utah.
Deron doesn’t have a post presence to take the pressure off. Until Lopez returns…He needs to take the ball inside himself and challenge the defense….then dish it out to his shooters.
He was more aggressive in the second half…with some nice layups.
They should use Damion James at the post more often.

and when that 1-2
turns into 1-5 by next week, what will we say then?
The slippery slope is right there. This team has only showed up to play 2 and a half qtrs out of 10.
Teams with actual NBA talent, like the Knicks and Mavs can survive a bad start.
a team that has a 20ppg center sitting at home with his foot in a boot reading comic books and sipping warm cocoa, a superstar PG that may have already mentally checked out until he gets what he wants, and a d-league level supporting cast cannot survive a horrific start.

We aren’t losing games by 5 points NI. We are getting run out of the building. The losing culture can absolutely effect the way players play the game, and my point is that that needs to change through Deron’s leadership.

i wouldn’t be. too risky. i’d be looking to trade dwill, i think after 66 games with this bunch he’ll be running out the door. plus, he turns the ball over a lot since avery took the sloan’s reigns off of him
well, the Nets are doing better than the Mavs and Celtics
and making crazy assessments about Deron Williams and Anthony Morrow, who are known quantities in this league, is ridiculous.
If Brook Lopez didn’t go down, the Nets could very well be 2-1.

I don't see the value in evaluating our team's status
So early ino a season when we all know that the effects of the lock out are being felt across the board. Some players fell out of shape over the long summer lay off. Some players haven’t gotten back into their groove, or back up to the pace of NBA basketball due to a shortened preseason and a high turnover rate in the personnel department.
As far as long term aspirations are concerned, I don’t think anything has changed since the season started
this is kind of dishonest imo NI

I agree with Josh Robbins here (for once)
A potential Nets-Magic deal in the future hit a major roadblock after Lopez suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and underwent surgery to correct the problem. The Magic already preferred Andrew Bynum to Lopez anyway, and Lopez’ foot problem is now a significant red flag to Magic officials.
The Nets simply have no other assets of note aside from Williams himself, and Williams appears to want to lure another superstar to join him on the Nets or sign a free-agent deal with the Mavericks over the summer.
Free agency is our hope if Magic don’t want to rebuild. Lopez will be totally out of game shape when he gets back, our draft pick might be great but Magic want vets, and we’ll see where Marshon stands.

Sure we can
If Dwight goes to free agency, I think he’ll be a Brooklyn Net 100%. The quoted post is in regards to a trade.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!

If we take Dwight as a Net as a given condition
Then mentioning deron Williams going to any other team is moot. I still don’t believe that without Dwight, deron is gone. But I may be in the minority with that opinion.

this wouldn't be the team he would be committing to play with long term
Deron told Stephenson this week there are other players we can get other than Dwight for him to re-sign.
I believe it. If Lopez comes back and gives what we expect,
Marshon becomes that 20 pt scorer (close already), we could try signing a stud SF or PF.
The ends will justify the means

Dallas has no chance at getting either via trade, just free agency and if we are their first option where does that leave them?
Definitely BK over Dallas in free agency

So yes, even if we miss out on Dwight I’m willing to bet Deron would choose us over Dallas.

we never made an attempt to rebuild
they lost Kenyon in 04 and instead they pulled off the VC trade to guarantee multiple 42 win seasons and first/second round exits.
then when its time to pay up they dump Kidd and instead of blowing it up right there and selling VC while his value is high they give him a ridiculous extension. then after that backfires they sell both RJ and VC for scraps.
then they finally tank for three years and land high lottery picks and then trade it all away for Deron. There’s a possibility the nets could have had a Lopez/Favors/Kanter frontcourt and not only have their own 2012 pick but have Golden States and Houstons this year as well

We wouldn't know his name
F he wasn’t sharing the court with K.Durant. Let’s be serious. Westbrooks assists are purely a product of Durante ability to score at will
so we going to act like
he didn’t contribute to the win? Funny when Devin Harris was doing the same thing people loved it.

That is false by all means
Westbrook and Rose are both good PG’s because they can score at will and are play makers. The only problem with have a combo guard is decision making, which really determines how good the player really is. I can’t bash neither since my PG is getting out played by a rookie.

How bad DWill plays
has nothing to do w/ how good or bad Rose and Westbrick are.
And Rose is insanely talented, and a pretty good player, but I don’t like score-first point guards. He needs something else (defense, maybe).
I never liked score first PG's either
but when you have PG’s looking like Carter and Kobe out there, you have to except the fact that its getting harder and harder to guard them. Rose is a great player and good PG but he also has his flaws which is the same for every player in the league. As I said, its the decision making which makes Westbrook looks bad because he shoots to much, but KD would never discourage him because he knows that teams needs another guy to reek havoc with.

When people see a player
of Deron status struggle the way he does they think two things.
1. He has either checked out or not giving his all

I watched that, and after I thought about it I agreed
even with the shot not falling, deron could be playing better
he isn’t taking care of the ball, that’s number 1
by MrDollarBills on Dec 30, 2011 9:35 AM EST up reply actions
Disagree.
He looks more lost or doesn’t know how to play with the team to be the most effective than he looks like he’s checked out.
I'll agree if this is game 10 in the season and he's still playing the same way.
3 games under our belt is not “checking” out in my opinion. If we’re well into the season and Deron is still playing like this then I’d agree he checked out.
I will say though, I think playing DWill at the 2 so he can score offense is a mistake. I feel although he has to play even more physical when he plays the 1, that’s where his assists and scoring comes into play. Putting him at the 2 doesn’t seem to be as effective as we want, Dwill is not a pure “shooter” as far as I’m concerned and even if he was, he’d probably be shooting as much as Ammo right now because we still have no down low presence to spread the floor and allow open looks.
Lastly, although the magic did defeat us, we had a 2 for 12 Deron, 1 for a million Ammo, against Magic and no Lopez. If lopez was in the game I actually believe we definitely could’ve won. I didn’t assume marshon brooks would be scoring effective but so far he is and I’m liking it. This is a definite positive plus.

Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
I think 34 is around correct
Here is what Brooks said about the transition last night…
"It was tough at first," admits Brooks. "But coach is working me in slowly. He did a really good job of working me in slowly and letting me into practices. I just got to pay attention, because he’s been helping me as well with the plays, just putting the plays on my iPad."

I sort of hate that this season is more about Howard than it is about trying to win the games on the current schedule.
It’s what the front office has deemed we need to do to win championships in the future. I know, I know. It just makes me sad.
when we get Howard all will be forgotten
the price is that while waiting, AND with Lopez out, we can only beat the bad teams and likely to lose to the fully healthy good ones.
we have no choice
if the team was staying in NJ I would have preferred to build slowly via the draft instead of this extreme gamble, but we’re here now.

An abridged season, a confident kid, a lame duck season in NJ.
Tis the season for an early starting lineup nod for a talented rookie.
First I have to say
Okur needs to shoot the damn ball and stop pump faking so does Morrow.
Deron shots will start falling and Avert needs to start Brooks and Stevenson and let DWill play the point I don’t like when he’s playing the SG position
I don't think he's checked out but
I do think there is a losing culture cancer that can take over this team unless Deron finds a way to lead his team to victories (or at least close losses instead of blowouts).
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Deron seems to be playing harder than he has last year
I do t remember him attacking the basket like this last year. Fact is If deron shot starts falling every one will change their tone like they always do. It’s the same thing every year
Also if our stopped pump faking the damn ball along with morrow DWill would of ha double digit assist
The team just isn’t playing well. DWill is such a competitor I can’t see him checking out after 3 games.
it's a possibility
that’s all we’re saying.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 30, 2011 9:44 AM EST up reply actions
I didn't put much thought into the fact that we aren't practicing
Players like Okur, Stevenson, and Petro have no idea whats going on out there. They haven’t practiced at all and this kind of eases my mind understanding that there is a valid excuse for our horrible play.
Yes they are professionals but unless you have a grasp for the offense/defensive scemes and have that chemistry you won’t win games. The Nets look disfunctional, confused, slow and too hesitant on both sides of the court. I’m hopeful that in time they can mesh a little bit and start producing.
The teams that havent changed players much are proof to this. The Thunder and Spurs are looking great, their rosters havent changed much at all.
I went back and forth with Andreas on Brooks back in April. This kid is a stud.
I have been very high on Brooks for a while.
I think he could be the best wing player in this draft. He is a proven scorer and has the potential to be a GREAT, not good, defender. He can block shots, gets steals, and rebounds extremely well for a guard. he is good in transition and is a very good iso player. I think he is also a hard worker since he got better every year in college and will keep that chip on his shoulder because he went so late.
He is ready to play now being a senior and dont be surprised if he is the starter opening day because he is that good.

a few of us went to watch him in New York
when he scored 48 after not having picked up the ball since the draft.
Stefan Bondy was there as well and what he said resonates the first three games…that he would have no problem getting his shot in the NBA.
The kid had star quality that night. It was obvious.

YUP I was there
That quality is something the Nets needed someone who would make noise and get mad like Marshon did last night going into halftime.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
I wonder what we could get for Anthony Morrow and Jordan Farmar.
It’s a package of $8M, with some spirited young players. I really think they could help many a team out there. I just don’t think they’re what we need right now.
Morrow is a 1 Dimentional Player whose 1 dimention is terrible now.
Not sure you are selling high on him.
I'm not thinking we could get Monta Ellis or Danny Granger or anything.
I just want someone that can run the floor with D-Will, jump and be over 6 foot 5 tall.
Can't see Farmar having that much value around the league
He has not played well and wants to start. What would the Lakers trade?
Is it possible that the Deron is playing bad to increase the value of our pick?
It isn’t too far fetched to think Deron is dogging it to make the quality of our pick better so we have a better offer to Orlando. He really wants Dwight and will do anything to get him.
If he wanted out, it doesn’t benefit him to wait. He will lose money and a guaranteed extra year on his contract.
The other explanation is that he is a jerk.
Is it also possible that the other guy dwight wants to play with is dogging it also?
Think about it. If Morrow plays like this, he becomes less desirable to Orlando and they won’t demand him in a trade. Plus, again, it increases the value of the pick.
NetsDaily

I’m sorry but if you lose your best scorer four days before the season opener, sign or trade for three rotation players within five days before the season starts and have another rotation player out for a week before the opener with the flu, what do you expect?

I think the main problem here is this:
We as Nets fans have heard that Deron doesn’t like losing, he gets grumpy, he will haul ass on us if we can’t do such and such, etc.
Yet right now, even though its three games, Deron isn’t doing much to help the team win.
So Deron really has no place to say anything about this team if he isn’t out there busting his ass. He’s not. And that’s why people are looking at this situation and are thinking ‘hmmm…he might be dogging it’
I think that the guys is off with his shot, but that does not explain his piss poor amount of TOs.
does he get 'credited' with the TO for passes his teammates can't catch?
he’s been stripped too a few times but just wondering about the above

Look, just getting tried of the garbage that comes out of this guys mouth. If he wants to win so bad, should have told BK to sign nene/Crawford/butler.

If we start Brooks, Deron will be OK
Teams are trapping Deron on every play because no one else in the starting lineup can take the ball to the hole. By getting the ball out of DWill’s hands we arent getting into our offense until 12 sec on the play clock which is going to lead to alot of 3pt heaves.
When Brooks is in the game, teams cant press Dwill as much.

it's true that Ammo has been playing like crap
but I don’t think we should trade him.
the reason why he is shooting so bad is because there is no one in the post who can score, so other teams can focus on defending the perimeters.
I believe once Brook comes back, or if we trade for Dwight, Marrow will be playing like the way he did last year. Shooting his 3s at a high percentage. It’s too early to talk about trading him.

Once again people here are calling for Doomsday
People need to relax just a little bit.
Yesterday’s game was in reach. Here is my problem with this team.
1) Avery – a) stop the old school BS. If winning is important, put out the best starting lineup out there. Brooks needs to start. b) the DWill at SG experiment should be over. I dont care whta Dwill wants. Avery needs to stop this Harris type offense, NOW!!!! We have too many SGs to have Dwill playing SG. c) Where are the Morrow playing off screen plays? d) Where are the Pick and roll plays that Dwill used in Utah? Hump and Okur should be able to do them. e) Gaines is Dwill’s back up that is it. Stop the Gaines / Dwill back court. Gaines is the back up to Dwill. Farmar is the combo guard. That is it. f) Avery why do you keep picking guys and changing the way they play? T-Will – SG not SF Now clearly Avery has giving DJames a different role. Why is DJames deferring around the paint? Why is he hesitant to take shots? There was one shot to took that was perfect.
2) DWill – HEY BUDDY you are not a SG. Back to Playing Passing first PG. I know other players arent stepping up, but I really think it is because of this playing SG issues. Everyone is trying to make extra efforts to rebound ala James 14 rb game. Now that Dwill’s shots arent going down players are confused.
3) Morrow – Buddy stop thinking and just shoot. Stop trying to pump fake and drive. You get the ball just shoot. I would rather you take contested shots and miss then traveling when trying to drive by defenders. Sorry you have to go back to the bench. You are good for a few minute hit a few shots after that you are a liability on the other end. Love you though and hope you stay.
4) DJames – Play your game. Attack the basket. When you go the open shot, Take it. Stop deferring. You get the ball go up strong. Get to the FT line. Stop passing the ball around the basket. Just attack. That is it.
5) Did ShaWill get any playing time at 4? He needs to stretch the defense.
That are just some things on my mind.
If this continues I might have to start the FIRE AVERY Posts.

Thorn is was such a terrible drafter and its the main reason this franchise has been set back so far.

T-Will, CD-R, RA, C. Lee, plus draft pick from 2011

Right on, again. Avery had Okur posted up a few times but why?! He’s a high-post kind of player. I didn’t see any real pick-and-roll run for him and DWill. Okur also passes up too many shots, hopefully he’s gained in confidence.
I don't feel like
Morrow is fast or strong enough in his legs to power through multiple screens and get open and ready to shoot.
I disagree
Avery called a screen play for Morrow and it worked. Morrow hit the shot. He can do it especially if he is coming off the bench. Run a few of those then sit him back on the bench.

and considering
that DeShawn Stevenson admitted last night that he is still getting in shape and that Mehmet Okur has had ONE practice with the team…ONE…it’s going to take some time.
GMs usually wait one third of the season before they make moves, figuring that it takes that long to get a good read on what they have and what they need. This year, that is complicated because the NBA had 130 free agents who can’t be traded til March….plus the rookie contracts.

Thank you DWill for "maning-up"; got to take care of the basketball!!
Williams said he’s "frustrated," and is rushing through the offense.
"I’m a person that relies on knowing where my teammates are and getting them involved and getting my confidence off getting assists. And I’m not doing that. I’m turning the ball over," said Williams who had six turnovers last night for a three-game total of 14. "So I’m just frustrated right now. I’ve got to do a better job of taking care of the ball, just relaxing and just playing basketball — not overthinking."

He's passing it to morrow who's struggling, if it was JJ reddick I would understand

yea morrow is struggling haaaard...
he definitely needs to come of the bench & maybe play against the other teams backups (inferior competition) instead of the starters to find his shot again!!

This is what I was waiting for.
Now Avery do your job change the lineup to what it should be:
DWill, Brooks, Stevenson, Hump, Okur
Gaines/Farmar, Morrow, DJ, ShaWill, Petro/SheWill
That is the rotation. Stop the BS Avery or you will get my OPIE WRATH.
Against the Hawks though, who have big wings
Stevenson at SG could be a better match-up to start against Joe Johnson.
James at SF against Marvin Willams.
Avery should run more Utah-style pick-and-roll with DWill and Okur to start.
Marshon the first SG off the bench. Morrow in some stretches like Kerr/Korver.
Shawne as SF back-up.
ah
well I applaud D-Will, he is reacting as a man should.
Now just do it on the court

did not think this was real...
Can you guys believe that deron Williams is number 3 in the top ten for turnovers??? Thought he was one of the top PG’s in the league… This is almost as embarrassing as having the same record as the NYK…..

Not really considering they're supposed to be competing for a title
but its embarrassing that we can’t score `80 points in a game and that we’ve been blown out in both our loses

Deron won't turn the ball over that much for the season
Book it, Deron won’t average 5.3 TOs.
Just as Westbrook won’t average 6.2 TOs the rest of the way either.
To add
Here’s the Top 5 in TOs so far.
1. Westbrook – 6.2
2. Rondo – 5.3
3. DWill – 5.3
4. Wall – 5
5. Nash -5
It’s the first few games. Should put things in context.
Is that league leaders? or just PG's?

In three games
"It's as sweet as it ever was, I'll tell you. Now, hopefully, we started something and we can win some more championships, but we're going to enjoy this one right now. Have a little champagne." --Julius Erving, May 12, 1976, ABA champion Nets locker room.
as unpopular as it may be, i'm an avery johnson fan but
sometimes i wonder if he’s in the category of NBA coaches who have the ‘college’ coach mentality. a little too controlling with the X’s & O’s and not remembering the NBA is players league. put the best guys on the floor, get your subsitution rotations set and let the guys play as opposed to over think.
then again, in his defense, he’s had consistently poor rosters since taking over….
imagine something extremely witty here
Avery knows what he is doing except picking players in free agency.
BK and DWill handled that job this year, with Howard in mind.
He has been successful getting his 12 member rotation of players into game shape and then learning to work with DWill and learn the Nets plays. In every game there has been noticeable improvement.
DWill is frustrated with himself. He said so. Last season he was getting way more assists with less talent.
Everything will be alright.
And people forget we are without Brook Lopez.
True definition of putting that D on someone.

That's because Bobcats figure it out to late XD
This is literally how you use your head to stop a player. And have you see She Willz head? Dude can stop traffic with that thing.

who cares
He is a punk. Great basketball player but a punk

Why is it that our team
is practically being kept from extreme blowouts because of a ROOKIE. Our rookie seems to be the only one who doesn’t quit when we’re losing. I like that attitude. Knowing the little I know about MarShon, I’m hoping that his attitude and as well as DJ Hustle/Stonehands spreads through the team and the crowd. We need something to get this team going, whether its the fans at the game or the players, but the players gotta start winning before they expect people to buy tickets when they know theres a chance of getting blown out at home. Deron needs to step and be the Top 10 player that he is, Morrow’s gotta find his shooting touch back, and everyone else has got to do there part and atleast hit the open jumpers.

It’s one thing to say that he’s off to a really bad start this season, but it’s another to undermine his value to us last year.
I'm not worried about, and no one should be
he’s just in a slump

Still doesnt change the reality
Morrow isnt a starting SG. He is a very good role player coming off the bench, but NO WHERE near a starting SG.
That's fine, I'd like him in a Kyle Korver role too.
But people are criticizing him like he’s a worthless player. They’re coming to terms with that reality now, as if it wasn’t something that was know last year.
He's worthless if he's not making his shots
because that’s all he can do. Not handle the ball, pass, drive, defend, or any other thing.
Korver or Kerr or any of the great specialist jump shooters would be pretty useless too if they’re not making shots.
Yeah, Morrow should come around but he’s an off-the-bench guy for sure.
Again, I'm not arguing that he shouldn't be coming off the bench.
All I’m saying is give it a few more games. After all, he’s not the only one whose shots aren’t going down. The players weren’t all prepared for the abrupt end to the lockout, and a condensed training camp still leaves room for sloppy play.
some of those guys back in the day could at least play defense if shot is not working
ala: Bruce Bowen from the spurs(career .393% from 3) can knock down at three on the reg. & play defense or Shane Battier now!!
That’s why I’m hoping D.Stevenson gets into shape asap!!

that's why we got Stevenson
as our D-and-3 guy
Morrow as our no-D or anything else jump shooter
and Brooks, the rookie wildcard
Should be
D will
Brooks
Stevenson
Hump
Okur

against the Hawks
I’d start Stevenson at SG against Joe Johnson
and keep James at SF against Marvin Williams
Marshon as our Crawford 6th man, first SG off the bench
Morrow as our Korver
+1

The way D-Will has been playing I don't even care if he leaves.
He needs to step it up and prove he is worth what we traded for him.

I'm tired of everyone giving this guy a pass because they are scared he will leave.
He needs to step up and play like the player everyone says he is.

I think Shawne Williams is starting to get his groove back a little but he should be used as a stetch 4
He looks a legit 6’9 out there with long arms, but is still not in the shape he was in last year.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Deron Williams is not a leader
D-Will is one heck of a point guard but he ain’t a guy who can lead in the locker room. IMO

we need some vets on this team. proven leader.
Prince or Billups would have been awesome. we should have gotten one of em
