Nets Fumble Away Big Lead in Washington

PrintDeron Williams wasn't playing his best basketball since arriving in New Jersey, but the Nets clearly missed him Sunday afternoon in Washington, committing 22 turnovers as they blew a 17-point, first-half lead to the Wizards. The loss put them at 4-27 on the road.
The Nets came out hot and were up 56-39 late in the second quarter. They were up 13 at the half, but were outscored 28-12 in the third quarter, and Washington went up by as many as seven points early in the fourth. The Nets answered with a 9-0 run to take a brief lead, but quickly went down six with four minutes left. They came back again to tie the game, but couldn't answer a pair of John Wall jumpers in the final minutes.
Led by Wall's 26 points and eight assists, Washington shot 52 percent from the field. The Nets shot 44 percent and turned the ball over 22 times, their third highest total of the season. They were led by Brook Lopez, who finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds, his tenth straight 20-point game, a career high. Kris Humphries added 18 points and 17 boards and Jordan Farmar dished out a career-high 17 assists. Anthony Morrow scored 19 points, but injured his left hand/wrist on the game's final possession. It will be evaluated Monday.

Can’t believe we gave up RJ for that clown. Not going to be in the league in a year. Who’s he kidding pounding his chest.
"NETS GET DERON WILLIAMS!" Thats a sick joke, wait has nets daily been hacked. Is this real???- First reaction to Deron Williams trade.
We lost to the Wizards
"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 think that has to be stressed
Not only did we lose to the previously 16 win wizards, but we lost to them without arguably 2 of their top 3 scoring options/best players
and allowed them to still shoot 52%

It's not rocket science to realize
that putting Petro into the game and giving him the green light to shoot is not going to work.
It’s not rocket science to realize Outlaw sucks.
It’s not rocket science to see that Brandan Wright deserves some PT over guys like Stephen Graham..
How does our coach not see this?

Sasha was 1 for 8.
Outlaw did nothing at all period.
Farmar had a great 1st 1/2 but proved why he is a backup. He dribbled way too long on alot of possessions and his turnovers lost us the game. Still like him as a backup though.
Gaines had a bad game too.
We need athletic wings, I’ve been saying it all season. Very glaring need.
Chandler Jr smith or Afflalo. Poach Denver!
Sasha is really started to piss me off
his shooting percentage is TERRIBLE.
When he is off, he is WAY off.
Thaddeus Young is pretty athletic too. I really like Afflalo and Chandler too.

He has gang ties in the NJ area though. That can't end well.

JR Smith being a headcase isn't only off the court
But on the court as well. He can produce a lot of points, and shoot you into a game. But next game, he’ll shoot you out of it because he’s still thinking he’ll shoot you into the game
hey isnt that what our teams does already
pretty sure sasha, petro, farmar, and outlaw do that every game. and JR is way better than them he doesnt need to make empty 30 ppg average promises
he would fit in perfectly. and all those players were headcases on the court whether it be flagrant fouls or rasheed leading the league in technical fouls

Nets have been a good offensive team since Deron came on
But have been a pretty bad defensive team.
Not to mention we also still have these long long stretches where we can’t score.
This is what people say when they say the Nets need another star, not just a good role player/Luol Deng type guy. Perhaps Brook IS our Luol Deng type guy
Its the tempo
Deron likes to run more so we up the tempo therefore allowing more points and scoring more points

Really. I can't believe anyone watched this game.
You are true diehard fans. That’s the optimistic interpretation.
Or completely insane.
At least James looked good...

no he didnt
he was afraid to shoot, Mo Evans had his best game of the year and the guy he was traded for looked good.
he's a rookie, with limited range, not even the 4th option
also when you have chuckers like sasha and petro adn a coach that puts young players on a short leash like avery. what do you expect?

I watch every minute of every game all season
And this was the first game that I just had no desire to watch. I recorded the first half and watched the 4th quarter only. It just goes to show that after the loss against the Bucks, we are finished for this season. Everyone can complain but it really does not matter, winning this game would not have got us anywhere and what do u expect with no Deron Williams. it’s like in the past not having Harris and Favors. But the one positive from this one was Humphries. I was hesitant about a month ago to say Hump should be the starting PF next year, but now i can definitively say Hump needs to be the starter next year so we can use the money on a scorer. Imagine Hump combined with Big Baby. Tough matchups for opposing teams.

Were you and your friend wearing a Brook and Deron jersey? If so, I was the guy who unzipped my jacket to reveal a Nets jersey to you in front of the arena.
I went to the Nets/Wiz game in DC last year in April and was the guy who was chosen for the blindfolded “egg hunt”. In reality they just hid all the eggs and the entire crowd laughed at me while I crawled around. Then they booed me as I yelled at the crowd. Good times.

Brook is fine
He’s just not a leader. But a very good player at Center.
I'll pass
Dwight doesn’t shoot or defend outside of 10 feet from the basket. We need wings. We have a top 3 center and a double double pf. Not giving that AND picks for Hollywood shuffling Dwight.
If we don’t get wings Howard will be in quick foul trouble trying to defend when our wings are CONSTANTLY getting beat. And on offense if we don’t have enough shooters and shot makers other teams will just pack the paint. And though Howard is good he is no Kareem on Offense actually not even a Brook LopeZ.

Messina plans to accept an invitation from San Antonio to spend eight days with the Spurs — and his former star at Bologna, Manu Ginobili — later this month.

Oh Avery… Nets cut garbage player, then garbage comes back to beat our new team with bench scrubs.
You need to be FAHYAHD!
That was a clutch steal and 2 FT.
Locker room interview, Brooks just repeats he didn’t now to win or improve.
Wiz needed a stop and Yi gave them one and 2 pts.
didnt know win or improve?
yi was pretty mediocre until that point of the game though
He had 9 and 4 in 35 mins
He is just a bigger cheaper Travis Outlaw.
Sounds about right.
Taller and Cheaper Outlaw.. not a bad thing.

Nets fans dont jump off a bridge now lets all relax
Nets Fans i knew everyone was going crazy with the playoff talk. Dont get me Wrong talking playoffs and seeing if your team makes it is a nice thing but what we all should have been talking about is Finishing the Season Strong and adding the right pieces in the offseason to make this team alot better for next season. Then when we have a solid team next season we can expect 48 wins and of course the playoffs. When i would come here and go on facebook all i would see is playoffs playoffs playoffs!! everyone’s expectations were crazy after we got Dwill, We all got to remember we still had Morrow Outlaw Petro lopez Humps Farmar Sasha etc etc guys who won 17 games before Dwill its not like we had 35 games and we needed one piece to put us on top
we all needed to look in the mirror and say we still need alot more talent on this team to put us on top, its only happening next season so lets finish good and add the pieces to make this team stronger

To me the simple way to fix this team is
King has a choose of Morrow or Sasha (YOU CAN NOT BRING BACK BOTH) one can be the backup and the other see ya
Sign a good starting SG
James could be a solid backup so go find a Starting SF who can score
As much as people love Humps here he should ne be starting he should get the max 4 mill and put him on the bench and go find a Starting PF who can play
and i know we have llike 20 million in cap and this isnt 2k11 but we have to be smart in the money we have and we have to find winners to put around lopez and dwill

Humphries is almost averaging a double-double. How does he only deserve 4 million?
Also, would the slight upgrade presented in the case of upgrading the PF be worth the cap space wasted in such a situation?
Wouldn’t you rather use that cap space to seriously upgrade the SF or SG instead of marginally upgrading the PF?

Yi makes more than that. I was in church and missed the game. But dude puts up 18/17/3 and you say he needs to come off the bench and make 4 mil. Lol. Hillarious. Also the second most popular Net to DWILL 7/17 today so not as efficient. But dude will average a double double. Do me a favor (I’ll wait while you do). Name the other players averaging double and tell me which one would accept 4 mil per year now.
We need a scoring defending wing. Someone who can average 15-18 ppg play solid D. And on a day like today can put up 25 for us when needed.

Like i said before
Outlaw and Farmar for Marvin Williams. Williams isn’t some great player, but he’s more useful than Outlaw. Plus, his deal is 1 year shorter than Outlaw’s while being only slightly more expensive per year.
nobody is taking outlaw's contract, period
unless he gets shipped out with multiple picks

It would come with a nice PG upgrade for Atlanta
And Outlaw’s contract isn’t much different from Williams’
And Outlaw would be too if he was picked 2nd
You’re trading Outlaw and Farmar for him. That’s got to be an upgrade over outlaw
Outlaw's contract per year is cheaper than Williams'
It’s just that it’s 1 year longer. If you add in a sweeter like Farmar, they might think about it
yeah marvin williams is trash
he should have went late first round earliest for a team reaching.
outlaw at least had a positive rep before this season. marv has been a bust all his career

so does outlaw
it’s worth it to get out from 1 year of that joke of a deal. talent wise it’s a wash. i wouldn’t care about losing farmar with gaines signed and uzoh available.

Nobody's counting on him to improve
If he can be better than Outlaw, who you can’t get rid of anyway, why not? How many takers for Outlaw could there be?
so marvin sucks on a good team
and you want to see him play on a bad team? i’d rather take josh childress. he at least looked good until this season

Best I can see is musical chairs situation with Denver and Phoenix
Involving Outlaw,Harrington and Childress. All three have similar contracts and are underachieving. I figure that we can just rotate them until someone catches on. By that time all thier contracts should be more palpable. Lol. I think right now Harrington would fit the best. Be a REAL stretch 4 who can still score and would be coming home. Maybe the fact that Outlaw is younger will work for Denver.

Avery was born with that face.

Neither was Brown.
And why is your signature “Deron Williams is better than Kyrie Irving”?
Fire Johnson and hire Brown - I'm telling you Thorn was smoking somethin' when he let Brown slip away in the night.

Players didn't want to come here
not because Avery but because our roster and our record last year. Now we have D-Will, a great owner and a lot of money. And Brooklyn in 2012, we have to be patient for the remaining of this season.

Some of this is unreal. Killa said you never hear people say that about Avery. I was just saying that D-Will said something similar at his intro press conference.

That's true, but this is not the same roster that the Nets will have next season.
Avery at least deserves a shot with a quality roster, no?

Avery proving himself to be a bad coach again
Terrible rotations and not utilizing Brook during the 3rd quarter meltdown was what lost us this game. I’ve been saying this for a long time, Avery sucks at using Brook in offensive sets. When Brook is not even struggling (shooting well over 50% for the last 10 games or so), why not go to him in the paint for pts when the rest of the team can’t shoot?
Get off of Avery.
Outlaw played 15 minutes and Petro played 12. You expect him to play the starters for 48 minutes a night. We were missing our star, starters need time to rest. It may look easy for everyone who sits at home on the couch to work the rotations, but for a coach its alot different.
by The Big Russian on Mar 20, 2011 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions
we have zero depth on this roster
d-will- all-star
lopez – few improvements from being an all-star
hump – best 6th man in the league
morrow – best shooter but lack of defense makes him a bench player
james – unpolished rookie that should be coming off the bench
then it gets ugly
farmar – inconsistent backup PG
gaines – 12th-15th man
chucker 1 – 10th – 15th man
chucker 2 – should not be on a roster
gadz – should not be on a roster
wright 12th-15th man
graham – should not be on a roster
outlaw- 8th-10th man
and avery’s system does nothing but expose these flaws to us every game

It’s going to get better. Nets will improve the roster and put a more competitive product on the court.
People like to deny it, but Outlaw is somewhat useful, he was key to wins in London and he can put together stretches of good possessions on occasion. I’m not trying to justify how much he gets payed, but he’s not as bad as people make him out to be. Wright can be very good, and peopl will be added to the team to make it better

He was good when he was younger can't run and jump like he used to so now he just fouls a lot
"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 wouldn't say good but he used to block shots rebound catch opps but can't anymore.

no you have watched him two games this season
i watch other teams and other players and didnt base these judgements on this year alone.
not every player that racks up DNP-CD’s is the next drazen. some players just suck and arent worthy of playing time
high energy? yeah right. dude looked like a rec lague bum out there. couldnt even get PT in golden state. thats like a point guard that cant get PT in miami. just straight trash

Didn’t get to watch the game because I was at work, but the stats say that Hump and Lopez were completely ineffective on defense, with Evans and McGee shooting ridiculous percentages? Am I reading that right?
Not to put the blame for thye game completely on their shoulders. Seems like, A) they had no answer for Wall with Deron out, and B) Vujacic and Gaines didn’t do jack
mcgee had some nice offensive post moves but defense lopez had on him was decent , not bad or good
vujacic and gaines did nothing, brook didnt post up much in 2nd half and wright got no burn again, plus turnovers galore
Like I said earlier when people were laughing at them
The Nets are the Bucks in that game.

They got Morrow shots and they went up big. In the second half they got him about 2 shots and were stagnant on offense. Happens almost every game. Time to draw up plays for Morrow.

Avery does not know how to utilize his players talents
You have Morrow shooting hot, but you don’t get him the ball, also he cannot use Lopez, he should get him teh ball in the post

Morrow also has to do a better job
"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 agree.
He needs to move more away from the ball. But if you look at the plays, even when Morrow is in, the plays are run to the opposite side of the court that Morrow is on and get guys like Vujacic and Outlaw shots from 3 and that is unacceptable that those same plays aren’t run for Morrow.
Outlaw – 29.9% 3P%
Vujacic – 35.9% 3P%
Morrow – 43.8% 3P%
i like avery
But I have to admit worst coaching o ever seen…he didn’t even call timeouts when he should have…he’s usually good at doing that at least…embarrassing add game

terrible job by avery today
why didnt lopez get any post ups ? terrible job by avery today,
play brandan wright! i dont care about his value going up!
get a sg who can drive to basket , dump vujacic and get a backup pf if wright has no future here
Knicks let Delfino
Score 30. Didnt they see what he did to us? Guess they didnt care.

we are supposed to be better defensively, maybe delfino is just on a good run this week
Disgusting
That’s all that I can say. What has happened to Sasha? He shot us out of this game. AND where was DJAMES in the second half? AND Outlaw was invisable. Just an awful loss against a team we should have beaten soundly. UGH

Hmm.. that's bad
If we won Bucks and tonight game, I can see Nets are getting improve.
But they keep falling after Celts game.
So it feels like Nets have never changed or improved.
Now I’m a lttile comfused what is good way to change the Nets.
Well, this feeling is not the first one to me for a long time.
Especially I don’t know why Nets are so bad team if they are an away team.
Do we need to support and cheer them more?
