PrintThe Rockets are fighting hard for a playoff spot, 2 1/2 games behind the Grizzlies for the eighth spot in the west. At 38-35, they need every win. Their cause will be helped by the Nets' infirmary report: Deron Williams, Damion James, Sundiata Gaines and Quinton Ross are definitely out. Brandan Wright (sore knee) didn't practice Monday and is day-to-day. If they lose, it will be the 50th time this season.
Houston, which has won 12 of 16 while averaging 109.1 points, is led by Kevin Martin. They lost to the Heat on Sunday. "Now the challenge is responding in New Jersey," coach Rick Adelman told the Rockets' official website. "We gave what we could and came up short and now you've got to regroup and try to come back and get that game Tuesday and go from there."
Kyle Lowry is likely out. Terrence Williams, who hasn't played much since being traded in December, underwent minor abdominal surgery on March 15, but has been experiencing "post-operative issues" since, the Rockets official site reports.

TWill
If he weren’t a head case, he would have gotten major minutes this year, had he been kept in Newark. It is a shame wasting such talent. How long will it take, if ever, for TWill to get his act together? It’s a crying shame.
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
He's done in the NBA.......
And he has no one to blame but himself…..
i dont think hes done but it's ture
he has no one to blame but himself
Knicks 2, Nets 0. There's not much Prokhorov can do about it now. Maybe put up another billboard ~Mitch Lawrence
Yeah, about that... Don't ever doubt The Prokhorov.
I like where Houston is...
They can make the playoffs next season, but not have that high of a pick.. perfect.
Some playoff teams in the West could be out…
NOH – West injured, Paul in his contract year
Denver – a lot of free agents..inc. JR, Afflalfo, Gallo, Chandler, K.Mart
Memphis – Uncertainty with Randolph and Gasol, Conley is suspect as is their situation with Maoy. Also, for whatever reason, I can see Rudy Gay as chronically injured player. He doesn’t seem very strong and he plays rather fluid yet awkward at the same time.
And of those below them
Utah – as long as Harris is their PG, I wouldn’t worry about them.
Phoenix may trade Nash and they will be awful without him.
GSW – It’s GS.
LAC – They’re LAC, but if they have good karma for a season, and things go well, or too potential, hey can sneak in.
Next year’s draft should be nice.. though sadly I’m warming to some players in this one that I don’t think we’ll be able to get.
Portland could have a down year next year as well..
Depending on what they do about Roy and their lack of bigs and bloated payroll.

Also Knicks have a better team our team is flawed they should beat us, there pretty much down rebuilding we just started.

Knicks definitely didn’t deserve to win this game. That Howard loose ball foul was completely and utterly BS, he clearly had the ball over both Billups and STAT. And then Melo blatantly fouled J-Rich, which prompted J-Rich to retaliate, and then he gets called for the foul? I hope the Nets destroy these fools on Wednesday

Terrence Williams, who hasn’t played much since being traded in December, underwent minor abdominal surgery on March 15, but has been experiencing “post-operative issues” since
He will be out of the league in a couple years.

are these "post-operative issues" actually related to the surgery
or is T-will just having issues, and it just so happens to be after he had surgery
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
I wonder if it is from the same abdominal strain he had as a Net - injured from showing off during a pre-game warmup.
That injury ultimately cost him a position with the Nets.
i’m glad it wasnt just my personal bias and hatred towards the knicks that made me think that was the worse officiated NBA game i’ve seen this season. i mean seriously. how do you make that over the back call on a clean rebound for a 6TH FOUL! and then call J-Rich for tripping Melo 80 feet away from the play but conveniently ignore Melo tripping him first. dammit David Stern.
Yeah I'm glad people are calling it out that was blatantly horrible
"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."

still, the Knicks did play aggressive defense
you can’t say that they played soft in that game. If Orlando had played tougher they could have won.

maxy
you think we have enough money to scare away Philly and Denver (chandler), and SAC? We would have to trade Farmar and Petro though.
No.
Even getting rid of Farmar and Petro would only leave the Nets with 24 million in cap space.
6 million is devoted to Hump’s bird rights.
I don’t think 18 million would be enough to scare away all three teams and, even if it was, that would be really excessive.
With 18 million in cap, you could probably get 2 of the 3.
Williams/Gaines
Thornton/Morrow
Chandler or Young/James
Hump/Outlaw
Lopez/Pick?

On Wednesday, the Knicks will be coming off of a gutty win, while the Nets are on the tail end of a back to back. Several of our rotation players are hurt, and we don’t even know for sure if DWill’s playing.
What a game to be nationally televised. I can just see the Nets hater comments coming.
yea great win
…NOT. They had to go to overtime vs. an Orlando team without Jameer Nelson playing. Not to mention Orlando is basically stuck at the 4 spot, winning and losing games for them now are just to improve and get ready for the playoffs. Knicks needs this one 10x more than Orlando, and Orlando almost had the game.

that was the first game in 9 days
that the Knicks played defense. Melo put the team on his back last night and carried them to a win. Stoudemire was totally frozen out of the offense but he also looked like he was running on fumes. He was getting worked on the defensive end by Dwight.
But if that’s what they have to do to win every night, they will be torn apart in the 1st rd. Very sloppy, but gutsy win. I give them credit.
I wish we were healthy when we were playing them. I think with our full squad intact we’d beat them.

What? That was just a stupid patch. Its not like the whole uni had domino look.
If you want to make fun of a uniform, look up the Mercury Mets.

the game was horribly officiated
There is no reason for a ref to miss something like that. That should have been at the LEAST a double foul, or a double technical. Tripping each other like little girls has no place in basketball.

Get well soon Terrence
The season is almost over. I hope that he takes time to reflect on his career thus far. It’s not too late for him to make the changes that need to be made for him to suceed.
The ball is literally in his court; but the shot clock is running out…

Is James playing on Wed?
That Knick game was atrocious and Knick fans have the nerve to think they did something. Also Nelson wasnt playing and he always kills the Knicks. Gilbert Arenas is god awful, Otis Smith should have kept the original team.
I hope the Nets bring the energy to the garden. That win would shut Knick fans up until they crawl into the playoffs.

because humphries is the only dude that lifts and takes cares of his body
lifting weights, cardio, fat burning, etc just doesnt make you stronger but it makes you more resilient to injuries and your body is more durable. frail guys like devin and wright you can tell never lift weights. a guy like durant actually tries to bulk up and take care of his body and he has seldon git hurt save for a couple of twisted ankles

Anyone know any cheaper places to park near the Rock?
Tobias Harris has entered the draft.
I would pick him if available.

doubt he’ll be available though.
@Al_Iannazzone: BREAKING NEWS: Nets are close to acquiring Deron WIlliams from Utah, sources told The Record.

I’ve been hyping up Tobias all year, he went to school in my district. Spoke to him once, seems like a good kid. Great work ethic by all accounts.
On June 29th, 2001, the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a trade involving Stephon Marbury and Jason Kidd.
On February 23rd, 2011, the New Jersey Nets and the Utah Jazz agreed to a trade involving Devin Harris and Deron Williams.
A new beginning. LETS GO NETS!

Just read through the comments and saw that somebody else already posted that…

Read this piece on Ammo by colin stephenson
D-will apparently likes him, he’s a keeper surely now……
"I’ve only played with one other shooter similar to him and that’s Kyle Korver, a guy that’s just a dead-eye 3-point shooter," Nets point guard Deron Williams said. "Guys like that are a point guard’s dream, because you’re pretty much mad when they miss."

I just read it too.
One thing is for sure, in the Kidd era we didnt have this type of marksman. I would be a mistake to trade this guy unless it is for Dwight Howard. Morrow coming off the bench and hitting 3s would be the best thing for this team.

with a little hard work on his part, he should be starting on this team
he needs to improve his defense and conditioning, but a shooter needs shots, and he needs to be out there to get his shot
I miss the days when America was only morally bankrupt...
is Terrence Williams making the trip with the team?
i’m intrigued by some sort of on-court reunion before the game… don’t know if that will happen

Free Tix for tonight against Rockets
Still unable to make these games – Damn! If any huge Nets fan – who promises to cheer loudly – wants them, just let me know. email cynthia7100@comcast.net
