Game 5 - Nets @ Cavaliers - Sunday, January 1, 6:00 p.m.

PrintThe Nets had their team New Years Eve party in a Cleveland hotel Saturday, then retired early to get ready for the first game of 2012 against a young Cavaliers team. The Cavs are officially rebuilding according to their owner, Dan Gilbert, and so far, so good.
On Draft Night, they took 6'3" Duke PG Kyrie Irving at #1, then 6'9" Texas PF Tristan Thompson three slots later. How young is young? Irving is 20; Thompson 19. Both are doing well, and the Cavs are 1-2 with a win over the Pistons and an overtime loss to the Pacers. The Cavs also traded for Omri Casspi, who mans the SF position.
For the Nets, the game is an opportunity to get their second win. After two poor games at home vs. the Hawks and away against the Magic, the team seemed to turn things around in Atlanta on Friday, but couldn't get the victory. While Irving and Thompson are among the rookie leaders in several categories, MarShon Brooks, taken at #25, is the NBA's top rookie scorer at 15.2 ppg.

Lets GO MarShon!!!!
I remember about the same time last year we were hoping for a line up of
Irving
sg
sf
Favors
Lopez
Now we have our hopes on
Deron
MarShon
SF
Dwight
Lopez
Atleast we are dreaming big this time around
BTW as of right now the Houston Rockets hold the 6th spot in the West
Mavs,Clippers and Memphis are still out of the top 8. 4 teams i think can slip up Goldenstate,Denver,NewOrleans and houston…hopefully Houston can stay around that 8th spot but i think everyteam i mentioned is better than the Rockets not including the Hornets
I like the Rockets over Golden State and possibly Denver
Fire Brian Schottenheimer.

Warriors have a lot of talent
And I think a upcoming coach.
by Zartan on Jan 1, 2012 10:12 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
golden state seems to be the only one that will slip up, maybe houston
Denver is built for the regular season. Lose K-mart and JR? welcome Big AL and Rudy. And they still get Chandler back in March.
New Orleans is still built around defense and though CP3 is gone they have more depth across the roster now then when he was there and Jack can carry that load versus the depleted roster Paul always had
With Houston and Golden State its like how long do you expect Dallas and Memphis to keep losing? and who seems poised to get more “lucky wins”: Golden State or the Clippers?

Okur starting is a good sign
Petro should stick to the bench
MarShon’s per 36 stats = 25-5-2
Marshon will be a great scorer for this team.
well obviously
Mehmet would get dominated by bigger and faster guys at the 4.

he said he thinks now that the roster they have is the one they will play with all season long.
hey guys what are your east playoff predictions? mine are...
1 bulls v 8 nets
2 heat v 7 sixers
3 celtics v 6 pacers
4 knicks v 5 magic

When Lopez comes back I hope for this starting lineup
Deron Williams
MarShon Brooks
DeShawn Stevenson
Kris Humphries
Brook Lopez
with
Mehmet Okur, Anthony Morrow, Damion James, Yatta Gaines, and Johan Petro off the bench in that order.
i agree with everything except petro
i like either williams better. Shawne or Sheldon. Once Lopez is back i would hope Petro gets to sit for a long time.

We have Sheldon and Jordan to back up center and PF. Maybe even Horner.
Send Petro down to the Armor.

1 heat
2 bulls
3 knicks
4 Hawks
5 Celtics
6 Magic
7 Pacers
8 Nets
Granted the 8th seed will be fought out by a few teams including the 76ers the Bucks the Nets and maybe even the Wizards

We’re not there yet, we need to jell as a team defensively and keep games close so we could have a chance towards the end game. Once they figure it out, we could eek into the 8th or at best 7th seed.

D-will
Ammo

Hump
Lopez
bench (in order)
SWAG
Memo
Yatta
Damion
Shawne
Sheldon

I know SWAG on bench isnt what people want, but
with Lopez back we will have a better lineup with a spot up guys like Ammo and Abe. Brooks would be our 6th man and come out lighting it up. No deferring to the better scorers at first. If he started with Brook and D-will he would be the 3rd option, which is nice in theory. The problem is he needs the ball

It like saying put Kobe on the bench to get a spark because Bynum and Gasol can score.

As of now
Put him on the bench but play him more minutes. Get him used to Lopez being 1st option, Dwill 2nd and then him 3rd and then start him

Sorry but I hate scoring bigs
I like that they can score but I’d have them rebounding and defending the paint. Imo SGs should score , while the PG distribute(take open shots) SF doing cleanup an PF proving help(setting pick, REB. etc ).
I can't think of a team that won with such defined roles by position.
One scoring position is not going to be enough to make the playoffs let alone when a championship.

i bet billy king would be a lot of fun to hang out with
i get a work hard, play hard vibe
imagine something extremely witty here
Off topic, but I saw Richard Jefferson playing for the Spurs last night. I thought they amnestied him. Anybody know what’s up with that? Did anyone see Sean Williams on the Mavericks throw up courtside during the game?? Hilarious.
wondering what BK is cooking with the farmar deal???
The possibilities??
by Pure baller15 on Jan 1, 2012 10:20 AM EST via mobile reply actions
I don't think he will use much assets such as a first round pick that would be needed for Howard.
If he could get an expiring contract that could be traded, then it might be possible.
Right now I don’t believe they feel Shawne is quick enough to play anywhere other that PF.
Avery may want to see if Stevenson can get in better shape, but he still has confidence in the future of Damion James.
DJames and DeShawn are really the only 2 Nets who can play SF, and DeShawn is undersized.
It is possible if Nets get an expiring SF, he would only become a backup to DJames, so Nets fans shouldn’t get their hopes up.
Nets are still better at SF than last season with Outlaw and Graham, who took way more shots.
Center is the only position where Nets are worse than last season.
What about D. James makes you think he can play period?
He is having a lot trouble handling the ball and catching passes. He has had one outstanding effort in one statistical category in his starts so far. It is great that he can run the floor but if he fumbles the ball out of bounds— it doesn’t matter.
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
its going to take a three team deal because teams with an overflow of forwards already have established point guards
and he hasnt really lit it up outside of that triangle outside of Lakerland
although i wouldnt mind a farmar for barbosa swap right now
still hoping for Delfino though

He didn't play near his potential until the DWill trade last season.
Partly due to Mono (which also inhibited his strength training), maybe due to the pain from the calcium deposits in his arm and 3rd due to lack of leadership and motivation before DWill came.
This Nets team can do much better than last year’s team even with Brook. When he returns, Nets should have a chance for playoff run, even without out more trades.
Lopez was already showing that he was going to have his best season this year. Hope ORL gets to see that in early March.

Win this game and hopefully surprise the Pacers tomorrow, get even at 3-3 and go from there. Any of you guys going tomorrow? Tickets are crazy cheap on stubhub.

Avery also said his rotation is pretty well set, now, which means Jordan Farmar (DNP v. ATL) is out, for now.
Farmar must be getting traded
Or he’s stinkin up practice, or he’s sick, or he’s injured. I doubt he’s injured cuz then we woulda heard about it, same if he was sick. Why are they not playing him?

when he’s on the court with Dwill. I don’t like it

Why so sure?
The PG spot is not deep, after Deron and Gaines there`s just Farmar, what if, god forbid, an injure occurs?
Also Framar is a better distributor than Gaines and was a role player on a championship team… his time will come.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
He is trying to hard now.
So he is playing outside his role and taking bad shots on top of it.
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
If starting DJ and Gaines is a set rotation...
I guess Avery is really clueless right now…

Another call to start Brooks
With a Gaines-DWill backcourt, Avery’s taking away away DWill’s size advantage against most PGs and actually makes him an undersized SG.
Take out the 1st game where he played only 8 minutes, Marshon in the past 3 games has averaged 18 ppg on 50% FG (38% 3PT), 88% FT in 26 minutes. The kid can score, as we all know by now.
The Cavs game would be a good transition for Marshon to start as it’s ‘only’ Anthony Parker who’s their starting SG.
Do it, Avery.

Not sure why Avery
feels satisfied with the starting line up. He’s going to end up having to put marshon in early in games ANYWAY because we can’t score when he’s not on the floor
Happy New Year my comrades.
He is putting Marshon in earlier each game.
But Avery is like most coaches, who like their rookies to learn from the bench and pay their dues before starting.
This season, there shouldn’t be much emphasis on starting, but rather total minutes, especially in Q4/
and yeah
why is Deron playing off the ball when he’s in with Sundiata??
That’s stupid imo. KEEP THE BALL IN HIS HANDS, LET HIM CREATE THE OFFENSE
god
No.
He’s given us exactly what we’ve needed from him, if not more. No reason to let go of him just because he’s been given the wrong role.
he should play deron with Okur, Morrow, Stevenson, and Hump
that way deron and hump get the much needed floor spacing to work the lane
Yatta and Brooks should play with James in a speed unit and let them gun it. Gaines seems more comfortable looking for his own and Brooks has no problem bailing out possessions. James will be there to run on the break and clean up on the glass(likely with Shelden)

Struck gold with Marshon so far...
Maybe AJ is feeling lucky ?
We sure could use some help up front.
Maybe Jordan plays well…
We have a lot of guys that can play some PF behind Hump, but so far no one to write home about.
I like (and so does Avery I think) Sheldon ahead of Petro at Center.
Shawne will get time at PF, but only if he starts hitting 3s. He is too slow right now to play SF.
There is too much of a need at SF to give DJames minutes at PF.
Jordan Williams may be what is needed at backup PF.
For now being the keywords
until Petro putrifies our team again with his next appearance
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
Maybe Jordan was a big hit at the Nets New Year Party last night ?

he didn't make the weight requirement
too many pixels would be required to create an accurate character model of him

Hilariously disturbing
OUTLAW > BROOK'S SHOE
Buying tickets for a March game
think Brook will be good then?
Wagers of the day
1)How many points will Marshon Brooks score today?
2)How many assists will Deron have today?
3)How many points will Damion James score today?
I say 18, 8, and 4
1) 19
2) 11
3) 5
D-WIll + D12 = NETS 2012 Champs (with lots of luck)

A good guess would be
20, 10, and -6
Dwight or Bust
Nets lose 33+ games this season.

I expect us to win 2 out of our next four games
@Cleveland
vs. Indiana
@ Boston
@ Toronto

Toronto and Cleveland r a lock...
but we should def try to beat indiana cause i think we can do it….
by devinharris34 on Jan 1, 2012 12:23 PM EST up reply actions
indiana shoots poorly
but they have more talent than we do
lets not consider any game a sure bet win. Not with this bunch.

if cant beat cleveland and toronto
then we know we r in lottery and maybe like 12th seed team….

there are no locks to win with the nets
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
by BEB on Jan 1, 2012 12:52 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
no games are locks
our team doesnt have chemistry or an identity to say lock in games
Every game will be tough, but we need our players to show up, Okur / Stevenson / Sha. Williams in addition to Deron and Marshon.
Also it would be nice for Morrow to hit threes EARLY
We need Morrow to be our version of Ben Gordon

Dilemma
I really want a MarShon Brooks jersey but am afraid it will be a waste of money if/when Orlando demands to have him in a trade
D-WIll + D12 = NETS 2012 Champs (with lots of luck)
by corky_romano4life on Jan 1, 2012 1:04 PM EST reply actions
look i understand your concern
YES i love Swag as well, but you are talking about Dwight Howard….
You give up anything Orlando wants if they pick up the phone and call.
Otis: I want Lopez / Swag / Memhet / Humphries and your 2 first rounder for Dwight and Hedo
BK: Ok send the paper work
trust me i am huge Marshon Homer
but to get Dwight? One of the best Cs to play the game? You do it. That talent and athleticism doesnt come along all the time.
And Dwight is just about to hit his prime.
the way I see rumors i dont see magic askin for swag
from what i see they want proven vetern guys like bynum,gasol,horford or even lopez……swag is still a rookie and has a long way to go….so i think we might keep swag in a d12 trade….our big three for 2012 is d-will,d12 and SWAG
he def is proven
but not a veteran…..which is what i think magic is lookin for a proven veteran..
by devinharris34 on Jan 1, 2012 1:34 PM EST up reply actions
oh man i thought you were joking
Swag is destined for HOF. didnt you see his first 3 games?

From a cavalier fan
We have to be favored in this one. I will be shocked if Deron Williams stays in NJ. That roster is terrible.
I agree
Kidd made the same misgtake by staying too ;-)

Okur
Gaines, Morrow, James, Shawne, Shelden off the bench

both these teams suck...
only nets and cavalier fans are going to watch this game…I get a kick out of either side’s fans saying “we definitely are going to win against this team” Both these teams would have a shot of winning the championship in the NBA Development League. to quote Chuck, you are what your record is…1-3 sucks…1-2 isn’t much better
Deron is probably just pissed he has to waste his knees to play in this scrub match…
