Nets Play Better, But Still Fall To Hawks Again

The Nets' offense finally showed some life on Friday in Atlanta, but it wasn't enough, as they fell to the Hawks for the second time in four days, 105-98. It was a game marked by a brilliant performance --and a rookie mistake-- by MarShon Brooks.
The Hawks took control when the Nets went almost five minutes without a score in the middle of the second quarter. The Nets were within one a couple of times in the third, but never got over the hump, and the Hawks led by as many as nine points early in the fourth.
The Nets got within one late in the game and had the ball down two twice in the final minutes, but Anthony Morrow and Deron Williams both missed on drives that would have tied the game. Joe Johnson then drove around Brooks to put the Hawks back up four.
After a timeout, Brooks couldn't find an open man on the the throw-in and called another timeout. Problem was the Nets didn't have any left, sealing the game for Atlanta.
Avery Johnson didn't blame Brooks, saying the coaching staff should have better prepared him, adding, "I saw all good with Marshon tonight." In fact, Williams said the lack of timeouts wasn't discussed in the earlier timeout. Brooks said Johnson took him aside afterwards and told him, "Don't worry about the decision I made. Just continue to play hard." Later Brooks himself tweeted, "dammit Rookie".
The Nets shot 46 percent from the field, their first game above 40% and hit nine of their 20 threes, three by Morrow. But Atlanta shot 48 percent and got to the line 38 times.
Williams had just four points and one assist at halftime, but came alive in the third quarter and finished with 23 points and six assists. Brooks finished with 21 points off the bench, giving him 55 in the last three; Mehmet Okur scored 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting; and Kris Humphries recorded his second double-double of the season. Jeff Teague led the Hawks with 22 points and six assists.

To those who want MarShon to start...
I think he’s better in the role he has now. Gaines has played some great energy and Morrow shot well. MarShon needs more time learning the game before he starts
That is so stupid starting gaines I like his energy and all that but he easily get in foul trouble and easier for the opponent to shoot over him. I understand what ur trying to say but no if anything morrow could start but brooks should start

That’s Frank ball. Don’t start the game with a mismatch if you don’t have to.

Guys aren't there with conditioning yet
“E” might be a good starter at sg, Swag off the bench isn’t bad, but i think Swag should start in the second.
Marshon Brooks got moves like Mamba
Let's use him like we did tonight for a few more games and see how he does
If he keeps this up then avery will have no choice but to put him in the starting lineup

Bro he already had 4 good games the first one he did good also but didn’t play enough minutes. He should start already if he starts We would avg 95 Or 96 a game but if he doesn’t then We will avg less because they limit his minutes

Nets found their "swag" in the second half & will hopefully carry it into cleveland for an easy win.
Terrific game. Great effort. Four seed team ain’t gunn a be mad we couldn’t finish.
My postgame thoughts
We’re getting there. Aside from his abundance of rookie mistakes, MarShon is really impressing. He’s so skinny that I hope he doesn’t get injured going forward. We need him on the court and as a potential trade asset. Damion James is the worst offensive player on the team aside from perhaps Dennis Horner, and that deficiency is really hurting the team at the outset of these games. The Hawks gave him the open jumper, and he couldn’t make them pay. In theory, he should only play as part of a defensive unit; it’s just that our SFs are not that good. Moreover, we don’t have many guys who can drive to the hole and draw a foul. Starting Damion really puts us at an offensive disadvantage.
Deron Williams dogged it pretty much in the first half aside from that drive before the half, but we kept the score close in spite of it all. There was a sequence where Deron turned the ball over on offense and then committed a silly foul on defense IIRC. Not a good look. Oh yeah, lucky half court heave by Marvin Williams – whatever. The defense was pretty good: Joe Johnson was kept in check, as was Al Horford. Mehmet Okur is starting to get into a groove shooting the ball, as well.
Second half: Josh Smith should’ve gotten a flagrant foul on Kris Humphries imo, because he was trying to physically retaliate for Humphries’ earlier play on him. Johan Petro really hurt us on a couple of plays – first fumbling a great interior dump off by Deron, and then showing mental weakness by pushing off on his defender in the high post (stupid play!). At least Deron showed up in the second half. I hope his ankle is ok. Shelden Williams had a surprisingly wicked Statue of Liberty jam. Why no replay, YES Network? Anyway, Shelden reminds me a bit of Jason Collins with the way he sacrifices his body for this team.
We really don’t have enough size right now or penetrators. We miss Brook Lopez. We gave up offensive rebounds left and right; no interior presence, no intimidation when the opponent drives the lane. Considering how deep we are, we would actually be a pretty decent team with a healthy Lopez.
Next game will be a win against the Cavaliers.

It’s rare that anything can make me smile while we’re losing late in a game, but watching Brooks hit shots I just couldn’t stop smiling. It’s frustrating watching this team as a whole right now, but worst case scenario with Brooks and Brook long term, I have confidence in this team’s direction with or without Dwight.

The way he hits difficult shots with ease reminds me of Vince. To see this as a ROOKIE? I don’t want to overreact to four games, but I really believe in this kid. That being said, I’ve been fooled by Terrence, Sean, and even Marcus in recent years. Thank God his name isn’t MarShon Williams.

Imagine how much better this team would be right now if Lopez was playing? Lopez, Brooks and Williams…if all of them are firing on all cylinders, we could have won tonight and given the Magic a run for their money.

"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."
Mirotic has actually been a monster in euroleague.
I wouldn’t be laughing about that pick.
He'd better keep it up.
He’s not a great athlete. He’s probably a bench big in the NBA.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
If Lopez doesn't go down, we get AK47 with the money spent for Okur.
We would be one of the better teams in the East.
I wouldn't say what he says is 100% wrong
Lopez last year is better than Okur Now. If Lopez improved as he was suppose to that makes us better
MarShon makes us better
AK would of been a upgrade over any SF we have
Hump is good
And DWill even tho he had a nice game it’s still below his standards
Morrow hit shots but still not playing like he did last year.
I think that’s a easily a playoff team and maybe a 6 or 5 seed if it all worked out

here's how I see it, tell me if you agree
Orlando will now require MarSwag be included in any trade. I don’t want to part with this kid, and I hope BK doesn’t either. If Dwight really wants to come here, he will in free agency. Orlando already said they are taking offers from any team, a team that would use him as a rental. im not going to panic of he gets traded somewhere else because he can and I think will walk at seasons end anyway. buy guys, imagine a lineup with D-Will, Dwight, MarSwag, Lopez, Hump…maybe im overhyping MarShon but im just excited, and optimistic. but 55 points in 3 games as a rook is pretty good…anyone agree with what im trying to say? let Dwight come to us, ORL will want him in ANY trade.

The only thing I’m thinking about in regards to trades is that if Brooks is still on this roster after the trade deadline, I need to decide which color jersey to get. I suppose I could wait until the new Brooklyn jerseys are unveiled, but I’d like the novelty of having the Brooks NJ jersey.

beisdes after 12-70 does it matter? if anything maybe stern will rig the draft for us so we get Drummond and then pair him next to Dwight and then as the C’s fade milk the Nets/Knicks rivalry for as much as he can

I'm going to throw out what may not be a popular opinion
Let’s insert Anthony Morrow back into the starting lineup. First of all, no, I am not suggesting he’s better than Brooks. I am suggesting that it’s clear that both Deron and Brooks play better with the ball in their hands, and maybe they shouldn’t play a ton of minutes together. If Morrow has truly located his shot, he’s a good offensive player. If he was knocking down his 3s at anywhere remotely close to his usual rate, he’d be putting up somewhere around 14 ppg (before this game). I think our best chance to win is to have Brooks as the primary ballhandler with the second unit, he’s not really a catch and shoot guy, so playing him with Deron isn’t the best idea. He’s an iso scorer, I like him and Gaines playing together, while Deron and Morrow play together. Thoughts?

The hope is that the double leads to an open shot for somebody who can… well, shoot it. If guys are knocking down shots, it forces defenses to not double him. Point guard is the trickiest position to double. I forgot to add Stevenson in at SF. I’m guessing conditioning is the only thing keeping him out of the starting lineup at the moment.

I'll be honest
Over the past few months, despite all the hype seen on this board, I’ve been tempering my expectations for MarShon Brooks as a defense mechanism against the kind of letdown we’re used to seeing with draft picks (mostly of the Williams variety).
But after only 4 games I want to go out and buy a MarShon Brooks jersey. this guy is exciting to watch and was the only one keeping us in the game for a while there. you gotta do what you gotta do to get Howard, but I really hope we end up with Brooks long term, it’d be nice to have a Jersey product going into Brooklyn (sidenote: he and I were born 3 months apart at the same hospital. represent!)
Ky advice is to hold off buying any jersey until after the trade deadline.

Thats Basketball 101. there are a lot of different time outs in basketball and it’s the coaches responsibility to let his players know how many are left. When you call your last time out before the players go back on to the floor the coach MUST tell his players that they are out of time outs.
I couldn’t believe all the Marshon bashers. The kid played his heart out and gets the finger pointed at him like he screwed up. Everyone should know that the timeouts are handled by the coaching staff. I always remembered my coach in high school telling us when we were out of time outs towards the end of games. Avery screwed up BIG time.

It would be epic if
after the all-star game, Dwight publicly stated he will not sign an extension w/ anyone but the Nets, and would rather play out the season in Orlando than go anywhere else. Nets would have all the leverage and could possibly force Brooks to not be included.
If that were to happen...
A lineup potentially can be…
Dwill
Brooks
____
Lopez
Howard
A decent small forward that can shoot from deep and this would be a sick starting 5
if Portland doesn't sign him during the season he should be option 1

If Dwight goes to LA, it’ll be Westbrook, MarShon Brooks, and Brook Lopez in Brooklyn.
If that happens, they should pick up Jeremy Lin haha

Now I have to know why Marshon Brooks had so little interest coming out of Providence and was taken at 25.
Dude has elite offensive skill, did the other teams foresee these kinds of mental mistakes or did they really think he couldn’t score in the pros?
There was no mental mistake
He assumed we had a timeout left. I would have too. NBA teams never run out.

All players should know those things.

Not sure what you mean.
I let go after every game.
Take that as you will :)
Also, what did everyone think of James tonight?
It seems obvious to me that he and Hump can’t be on the floor at the same time since they do such similar things. He’s also obviously a terrible black hole on offense.
He doesn’t SUCK, I see potential for him to become more effective but he shouldn’t be a starter until he can knock down an open shot.
LOL, he needs to get more creative when he drives
he can’t shoot for his life, and his drives are predictable.

no they went through a stretch where he refused to put brooks and d-will together
and let Joe Johnson constantly post up Gaines
but he had Petro on a short leash thank goodness. Petro took one bad jumper came out almost immediately for a good stretch and when he came back started playing under the basket like a real center

Shawne Williams looks like he doesnt trust his jumpshot anymore, and him trying to drive is not a good thing since basically he stinks at it

Only chance of keeping himm is DH12 signing with us as free agent. Would’ve been nice though.

with a lineup that mostly had Okur, Hump, Brooks, Morrow and D-Will on the floor.
Cant be too upset with that.

I pulled up the MarShon draft thread to see what I said about him and I saw that I quotes this DX article.
It is pretty interesting.
An extremely potent scorer who used a ton of possessions as a senior, Marshon Brooks created a staggering amount of his own offense, with an incredible 29.5% of his possessions coming in isolation. Despite playing the shooting guard position in his team’s offense, Brooks plays with the ball in his hands as often as many point guards, and has no conscience about creating his own shot at any point during the shot clock from anywhere within 30 feet of the basket.
Brooks’ scoring skill set is very advanced, as he’s capable of scoring inside and out in a variety of ways, having extreme confidence in virtually every aspect of his scoring game. Brooks relies on contested pull-up jumpers for the majority of his offense, and he’s capable of knocking down very high difficulty shots of this variety. Unfortunately, he’s also highly prone to taking ill-advised shots early in the shot clock, showing very questionable decision-making in that regard.
An interesting thing to note about Brooks’ scoring offense is that in spite of his absurd amount of isolations and propensity for difficult shots, he still posted very strong efficiency numbers as a senior, a hard feat to pull off given the style he plays. Brooks’ 1.01 points per possession ranks in the 88th percentile of NCAA players according to Synergy and his 58% True Shooting Percentage ranks 6th of the 24 shooting guards in our top-100 rankings. His team, Providence, was one of the fastest tempo teams in college basketball, which may have helped in that regard.
While stylistically he may play like most inefficient volume shooters, he actually was able to post very strong efficiency numbers overall at the college level. Looking to the NBA, the story will likely be quite different, as there are very few All-Stars who play the kind of dominant offensive role Brooks played in college, so a role adjustment is inevitable under any circumstances.
Doing the majority of his damage offensively with this perimeter jump shot, Brooks is highly capable both off the dribble and spotting up, though he’s far more consistent with the latter. When spotting up, Brooks has outstanding form, boasting a high and quick release along with excellent balance, though these opportunities are rare given the role he plays in his team’s offense. Of the 234 jump shots Brooks took in the half court setting according to Synergy this season, just 27 were of the unguarded, catch-and-shoot variety, but he scored a lethal 1.7 points per shot on those attempts.
http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Finding-a-Niche-For-Marshon-Brooks-3756/
Also, in that thread I was apparently some kind of soothsayer as I talked about Shawne Williams, DeShawn Stevenson going to the Nets and CP3 going to the Clippers.

Sure d12 is top 3 player in nba, but just watching marshons play style reminds me just of Kobe. Kid is gonna be special and I don’t want to watch him grow into an incredible scorer on the magic.

I honestly wouldn't mind
Deron Williams
Marshon Brooks
Gerald Wallace
Andre Drummond
Brook Lopez
some of you might say, there is no way Dwill stays if we don’t get Dwight. However, if Dwight gets traded to the Lakers and signs there, then what’s more attractive to Dwill? A bad Mavs team with only Dirk, or this lineup?
I wouldn't mind that either
But if Deron didn’t bother recruiting Nene and a SF this year , then he’s probably not going to talk Wallace into opting out of a good situation in Portland. And our pick probably won’t be high enough to get Drummond.

if Dwight resigns with the lakers, then it's not happening.
that’s why I think Dwight will ultimately end up a net.
the Magic aren’t going to just let him walk.
Dallas doesn’t have the assets to swing a deal
If Dwight goes to LA, he won’t play with Dwill.
Dwight and Dwill are the only 2 stars that can team up right now, so they will take this opportunity. The nets give them the best opportunity to do so, especially since Dwill is already on the Nets.
I can't say anything right now
I didn’t think the Knicks could get Melo yet they did lol. I’ll wait to see how this plays out, because I am NOT ruling out the Mavericks or Lakers yet.

we could of had Nene and Butler this year but we went all in for Dwight.
if we get a top 10 pick, we could use the Rockets pick and maybe morrow and james to move up some spots. If not Drummond, then Sullinger or Davis could work too in that lineup. If not Wallace then Gallo or Chandler would work too.
I know we're all in for Dwight , but you proposed a scenario without Dwight
Can’t see Deron being too thrilled with Sullinger and one of those wings. I would think it would have to be someone as good as Wallace at least – A veteran beast.

Avery worst at managing his timeouts

Overcoach
I think you’re the first to mention this. The Nets got a long rebound down 2 with about 35 seconds left. The Hawks were going for the offensive rebound and we had a good shot at a transition basket, but dum-dum Avery calls timeout. At least push it past half-court and you can call time if the Hawks get back. This team should be playing loose and pushing it to catch teams before they can set their defense because we don’t have a lot of offensive firepower.
But NOOOOOOOO, Avery calls the timeout, the play he draws up fails, the Hawks score, and then the Nets use their last timeout and then the next one. Ball game. I can’t blame Avery for the loss, but his late game idiocy did not help.
63-3

A Few Thoughts
- I thought Shelden Williams looked great tonight! Lived his jumper and his pick&roll slam. I wish he were the first backup center off the bench.
- There were at least 3 instances in which Shawne Williams had an open 3 but didn’t shoot. Ended up in a missed shot / turnover a lot… except for one time when it ended up in Morrow’s hands accidentally and he hit a 3. Shawne is a shooter and needs to shoot.
- I’m thrilled Memo is starting to get comfy – I think he’s going to play like he did tonight all season.
- This was a great game for the Nets. BROOKS IS A STUD. Nets will be fine!

-Brooks was SWAGGING all game long and played Kobesque until the last play of the game where he pulled a Webber aka called a timeout when we didn’t have one. Avery and Dwill already said it wasn’t his fault.
- Dwill had a bad 1st half but played like a top 10 star played in the 2nd making amazing plays.
- Morrow was crap in the first half like Dwill, but nailed many shots in the 2nd half.
- Okur was pretty good on O, but still sucked rebounding and playing D, got destroyed by Horford
- Hump was hump, solid double double + a mini fight with JSmoove
-Gaines was solid once again although he got destroyed by teague, I MEAN DESTROYED.
-Farmar had a DNP. coaches decision
- James played limited minutes today, and was invisible. Definitely not a starter yet.
- Extra E was awful. Could not shoot or defend
- Shelden Williams was pretty good today.
-Petro was Petro, but Avery only gave him 5 minutes.
-Stevenson didn’t look as good as he did against ORL.. did not hit his shots and didn’t play much

There has to be a scenario here either brooks or brook stays...
If marshon happens to get te starting spot, we are around .500, and he is avg 18 ppg when Lopez gets back… Along with that Lopez gets back late February, has a good month before the deadline and we start to win and compete with some good teams… Wouldn’t that raise te trade value of each player? I suppose it would because some players have high trade value because they are pieces on winning teams, right? If so, this might allow us to get away with no having to give up both brooks and brook assuming the lakers aren’t going to give up both gasol and Bynum…
Yes a lot has to go our way for this to happen but it’s definitely possible

I said that before
but we will need Dwights help. he needs to learn from the Melo situation and give all the leverage to the nets so they don’t have to trade their whole team. If Dwight says the Nets are the only team he will sign with, we can make Brooks untouchable. If a team chooses to rent him and he comes as an FA, that’s even better for us.
Deron
Brooks
Gilchrist
Lopez
Howard
omg becky, look at …….
Well if history is any indication
Once Bynum returns he will have one of his many ailments occur (I will give him 6 games) keeping him off the court for 40% of the season. And the Magic might finally see what the rest of the world sees— Bynum is injury prone.
Either way, its very possible the Magic dont trade Howard, and then he walks. Its not likely, but its possible. And so therefor it would be possibly to obtain BOTH Brooks and Brook while getting Howard in the offseason as a free agent.
That would be sick.
remember this type of condensed season is horrible
for an injury prone player (Bynum). Esp a center who will be relied on heavily as soon as he returns since the Lakers are stinking it up so far.
For those, who are interested in AK47
It was posted on official CSKA Moscow site today, that AK47 decided to stay with the team and play in EuroLeague. So no chance of him this season.
eh no biggie.
He and Dwill dont get along well. He is injury prone and this condensed season would be difficult for him to stay healthy during. Also the Nets are at the cap and couldn’t offer him a real deal anyway…
Marshon Brooks is the player... he will be a big part to play with Deron & Howard.....

As a life long Nets fan (40 years young ones!) you take each season with a grain of salt. If we can build something I’m happy. We barely won 15 a couple of years back. We were better last year, and we are a better team (if not a better record) then a year ago. Marshon Brooks is the jolt of energy this team needs. King can draft. He’s proven it over and over. The season is young but how many GM’s are all ready kicking themselves for passing on Brooks who is a ROY candidate all ready. He’ll be starting with 5 to 10 games, max. He softens the blow from Lopez’ injury. Clearly we’re barely assembled and can’t weather the blow of this kind of injury. We’re obviously not deep. But with D-Will, Marshon, Hump and Lopez, and probably a great first rounder or two we finally have some solid pieces to build on. Remember it was just a few years ago we were stuck with aging Kidd, VC, and RJ.
People need to tweet nice things to DWill.
He played a heck of a 2nd half.
We don’t want DWill to think Nets have bad fans, who turn on their star if he misses a shot.
I'm sorry but D-Will
needs to stop pouting and sulking, and start putting together two halves of solid basketball per night. His body language has been beyond horrible and while all of it isn’t his fault he needs to actually be a superstar, make others around him better(which he did in the 2nd half), and try to win games. I wonder what caused the light to go off in his head last night?
I like the guy, I think he’s a great player when he’s “all in”, but I’ve grown tired of that crap already, sorry. yeah your teammates suck, but when a rookie goes out there and shows balls while you pout, it doesn’t send the right message.
Last night’s game was VERY winnable. Maybe if Williams played as aggressively in the 1st half as he did in the 2nd, we could have been in a better position to win. It is what it is, but I’d hope to see the D-Will of last night’s 2nd half a lot more than the pouting brick layer that we’ve seen for most of these games so far.

He did it last year in Utah
Sloan couldn’t take it and ultimately neither could management. We shouldn’t expect any change until we put a better team around him. Sad but true.
63-3
Imagine when Lopez gets back
The looks Marshon and Dwill are going to get off of kick outs and vice versa. Marshon penetrating and passing to Lopez for the finish. I def see Iverson in him, dude plays hard. Game of Nick Young Heart of AI.
Lopez Hump Brooks Deron will win us plenty of games. If Morrow can hit his jumper and Djames just play defense and hustle we will be decent. maybe .500.
Oh yeah Okur as a backup C is going to be damn good.
sigh
now here I am hoping that The Magic are so delusional that they keep Dwight past the deadline.
We stand a better chance at building a contender with an outright signing instead of a trade.
Howard/Lopez
Brooks/Williams
that would be nearly unstoppable. Just toss an SF in that can defend and hit threes and you have a near flawless 5 that can bump heads with the Bulls and Heat.
well, lets see what happens, but damn. I want to have our cake and eat it too
The reason I didnt want a season. Exact reason. And we would have had our 1st rounders for the coming draft.
Deron
Brooks
Barnes/Lamb/T jones
Howard
Lopez
Or trade the picks for a Nba sf such as Batum or Wallace. SMFH!!!!
smgdh
exactly…damn.
perfect mix of youth and veteran play

The other thing is
the way Miami is playing why waste a year trying to beat them when next year we would have full training camp and a full season to beat up on teams.
Dwill
Brooks
Defensive SF / Top Pick
Lopez
Howard
WoW!!!!
Deron wise up and see the potential.
Dwight sorry you will make back that $25+ mill in endorsements.
so....
if Marshon is a top 3 rookie by the deadline, and Dwight makes it clear that he’s only resigning with us(which I doubt…he would have made this a lot easier had he done that) like Melo did with NY, would you be mad if King told Otis “well you can have Lopez and either Marshon or our 1st rder…but you can’t have both.” ? XD
as someone else pointed out, is Dwight smart enough to learn from what Melo did with NY? If you want to come here and build something, actually give us some leverage eh?
But, at the end of the day, getting Dwight and Deron together is first and foremost, everything else is secondary.
I think if Marshon keeps playing like this he goes off the table. King has an affinity for prolific SG AI/Lou williams.
Marshon is HIS pick. He got him from Boston, if the kid is that good King wont let him go.
If Brooks goes we once again have only 1 person on the floor that can create his own shot or penetrate. If Turk comes back he can somewhat create/penetrate but not like MArshon and Deron.
Lopez filler and a pick. If Dwight wants to come here he will get here. I’d let Morrow go and bring Bogs over to fill that backup Sg spot.
Also Dwight would be a fool to not want to play with that backcourt. He would never be able to be double teamed.
This is all projecting that Brooks stays this course. 17ppg puts him in Derozan/Curry/Ginobili territory. You keep that!
i dunno
I dunno what King will do. I can’t say that he would do that(hold onto him). Beggars cannot be choosers you know
check the rookie stat board:
its only 4 games, but I’m baffled as to how this kid dropped that far.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 6:31 AM EST up reply actions
this kid is shooting at a 49% clip. I don’t expect that to stay that way, but so far he is a productive player and he’s got balls of steel
I was floored when I saw him wave Williams away so that he could take Johnson 1 on 1.
hahah…and this guy was NERVOUS during his first piece of NBA action.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 9:21 AM EST up reply actions
Why he dropped
1. He played on a bad team…so his stats could be dismissed as those of a greedy volume shooter.
2. He had one great season. Before his senior year, he wasn’t on anyone’s draft board.
3. He turns 23 next month. He was one of the oldest kids in the draft.
4. The Pacers basically told him they were going take him at #17, but then George Hill, Indianapolis native, became available and they traded their pick to San Antonio.
5. This is the big reason: there were unfounded rumors that he is a “bad kid”. ESPN even reported that they had heard that. Both the Pacers and Nets did extensive background checks on him and found nothing.

Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
Marshon is #1
Also, any rookie that has broken double digits for their average PPG has had more time than Brooks… And he’s STILL scored more than them.
#hypemachine
LOL King won't have the balls to do any of that...
“Lopez? Of course he’s still available! And our 1st rounder? Ok! Hey, did you see Marshon, he’s really good, take him too! Want an old Outlaw jersey too? Here’s my car keys!”

What if Deron
says
When I was in Utah they didnt keep Brewer, Matthews and Korver, If Magic want Lopez, they can have him but KEEP MarSHON on this team. I WANT HIM HERE. I will tell Dwight sorry sign with us as a FA.
Realistically speaking, BK will not trade both Lopez and Brooks for Dwight. Would BK make that trade? Only after he’s tried everything else he can possibly think of.
(which includes things nobody knows) Not saying King would turn Otis down on a Swag + Lopez trade, but this is Billy King we’re talking about, he’d find another way.
Imma just sit back and laugh while the hopelessly depressed posters on this board make everyone believe Marshon is going to the Magic. 4 games in and thats the call from the “realist” contingent, smh.
Marshon Brooks got moves like Mamba
wats kinda scary about Brooks right now is that it looks so effortless
like last game when he got the breakaway dunk, he just came back to the ground and WALKED back to the other side of the court. lol
Big Loss?
Dwills body language was a little more positive
MarShon looked more comfortable
Ammo got a little hot
Hump needs to be booed more to keep him motivated
Okur needs to at least try to play inside and rebound
I thought that for the most part
Memo played pretty decent. I’m not expecting the world from him.
Shawne Williams and Damion James are ABYSMAL. I cannot stand watching either of them on the court anymore. I dunno what happened to DJ but he’s giving the Nets absolutely nothing, and Williams is stealing money right now. I don’t wanna hear that stuff about “he missed a week with the flu”. You don’t forget how to shoot a basketball in a week’s time.
King made a mistake imo, but he’s a one year merc anyway.

FIRE AVERY - No TO's w/under 2 minutes!?!?!? ANd u didn't telll anyone?!??!?
Stefan Bondy @NYDNInterNets
Deron said nobody told MarShon there was no timeouts remaining on critical play in 4th quarter. "I really wasn’t aware of it either."
you can tell
because if I recall, Deron started to walk off of the floor towards the bench until he realized that the ref had just called a tech
That was Avery’s fault, clearly, and Avery took the blame. IMO its a non issue, we lost that game on when Horford climbed over Hump’s back after deron missed that lay up anyway. On to the next contest
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 9:10 AM EST up reply actions
Enough with all this talk about Brooks to the Magic and fire Avery!
The only way Brooks goes to the magic considering their logjam at SG is if they dump Richardson or JJ on us point blank! Chicken Little is an understatement describing some of you individuals….

if this kid continues to play well
for the next two months, are you really going to believe that orlando would not ask for him?
ah actually..who knows. Those dudes are beyond incompetent. I hope they DON’T ask for him.

sorry Redick is a shooter on a de-escalating contract that becomes partially guaranteed in its final years
almost every team would line up to trade a bench player for him

Thoughts
Deron- Slow start again but turned it on in the second half for a good game, some nice drives, made some shots and good passing. Needs to turn it up on D esp on Teague even though Gaines was on him a lot early.
Brooks: Ok he is really making a believer out of me and should be starting a head of Gaines, people can’t use the it was aginst reserves excuse this time, he made some great plays against the Hawks starters esp a good defender in Joe Johnson. The Hawks are solid if not pretty good playoff team so that impresive. He also plays much more D then Morrow, loved that block on T Mac. Expect to see him start soon uless AJ wants his offense off the bench. Took too long to put him in the second half.
James/ Shawne W: Eh not a lot to say James made a few bonehead moves and a few ok ones don’t remember seeing him the second half like last time. Morrow played a lot of the fourth. He needs to work on his shot badly because I think it could be decent a lot of his shot are rimming in and out. Williams had one or two ok plays and made some errors don’t think he affected the team much or hurt. Porbably not in shape yet.
Hump: was Hump which is to say he was wolid at the 4, played good/decent physical D. Gobbled up the boards, and contributed a little on the offensive end with dunks, putback and the odd jumper solid and we can continue to expect this from him. Got off to a shaky start when Williams found him and he missed up two easy ones. Team needs to look out for him too esp on the break Gaines pissed me off in the third when Hump was calling for the ball and then was wide open for the easy slam. It was an easier pass then what he did giving it Stevenson for the open 3. Williams would have found Hump. This stuff hapened a few times.
Okur looked very good and his shot was falling. He looked like himself with Utah not great on D but at least smarter then Petro and can give you some quality points on O as well as some rebouding and box outs. Hopefully he keeps up this plays the nets need it to have a chance in games.
Gaines: Was solid decent scrappy D, decent on offense with drives shots and drawing fouls. I say decent because Teague blew by him too much but he’s a good backup for the money hes on.
Farmar: not time, trade him for whatever and give us the cap Gaines will do just fine.
Morrow: Rough start but looked like himself in the second half the threes made a few mistakes but if he can get back to hitting his shots he’s a great player for us off the bench.
Stevenson nothing to say barely played.
Petro: god help us was Petro which is to say awful he bundled three easy shots that D Will set him up for. His only good move was that 3 point plays he bundled. Really not a smart player to, lots of mistakes. Sh Williams was solid enough he gave tiny bit on of and can play some D. Can’t wait for the return of Brook so Okur Hump and Lopez can take the lions share of the minutes and Williams can have whatevers left so we never see Petro again.
I think that covers everyone Finals thoughs very pleased nets played hard and are showing good progress has a team esp impressive given they played last night. Need to play like this against bad team so we can tread water untill the return of Brook, if Brooks can continue to play well and considering the team is only gelling when Lopez comes back we can be a solid team. Good to se Deron play better too and Okur as well. This should be fun a team to watch.

Yeah. Great job not to foul there.
Was happy considering T Macwas running his mouth. I also though T Mac fouled him before he got that late score with a push off but maybe he didn’t connect hard to see.

Brooks gets fouled a lot and the refs swallow the whistle
but it doesn’t stop him.

One more thing.
I was watching the Hawks broadcast and Willkins continued to point the nets had no help D all night long which was big contiributor to Teague’s big night and Johson’s score late. Hump can be ok on help sometime but not last night. We know Okur won’t offer much, WIlliams wasn’t in for long and Petro is just a travisty. I hope people apreciate Brook while he may not be Dwight Howard or even a good help defender nor is he the quickest center in the league laterally he does provide some help when he plays. You know there would have been a seven foot tall Lopez waiting to at least contest some shots as much as people rag on him for d.
Also no issue with Brooks mistake, his teamtes should have got themselves open. He shouldn’t be inbounding unless it was a set play for him to take a shot or attract attention. It also sound like the coaches mistake anyway. But he made more than up for it over the ingith team would have at least lost by double digits without him. Start the kid.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
great point
there were several instances when Teague just waltzed to the hoop and dudes stood around flat footed watching. YES, that includes Kris Humphries.
Avery needs to nip that in the bud, but overall the team played hard.
by MrDollarBills on Dec 31, 2011 9:33 AM EST up reply actions
Really with the roster we have to work with now...
Shelden Williams needs to get 20 minutes behind Okur so we can get some stops. It was the only stretch of the game where we made them take bad shots because they couldn’t get to the rim. Why they had to play Teague so close is beyond me as well. Sure he has hit a few threes to start they year but if you play up on him and get no help, then you are giving him easy layups and they did all night. No way he should get 19 points in the paint and not one of them was a floater.
Damion James did nothing like Petro and I can’t see a reason to play either one AT ALL now. James didn’t even defend well last night…. inexcusable.
Bad as you guys bang on Morrow at least he gives the team SOMETHING. With minutes he should get the midrange and short range shots back that he hit last year with regularity.

Willkins very impressed with Brooks
