Sloppy Nets Fall In Cleveland

PrintThe Nets couldn't maintain any momentum from their solid performance in Atlanta on Friday, falling to to the Cavaliers, 98-82, in a physical and sloppy game on Sunday.
It was the Nets' fourth straight loss.
The first half was close throughout and both teams held seven-point leads in the third quarter. But the Cavs caught fire from the perimeter, led by six heading into fourth and blew the game open in the final 12 minutes.
The teams combined for 44 turnovers, with Nets guards Deron Williams, Sundiata Gaines and Anthony Morrow accounting for 15 of them. The Nets got to the line 28 times, but shot just 38 percent from the field. Cleveland, on the other hand, shot 16-for-26 from 3-point range.
Williams led the Nets with 16 points, but made just six of his 16 shots. Five other Nets finished in double-figures, but MarShon Brooks went scoreless in 12 minutes.

Cause he has no offensive system
And dude rotations suck! Put out a real starting lineup, find your bench guys and give them the proper minutes.
For the first time I almost lost it. Felt like crawling in a fetal position and crying. Avery lost this game. I can’t understand the substation patterns, don’t think the players do ether . Let a unit get comfortable with each other for christ sake.
AWFUL.
Huge step back. I don’t want to hear the word “progress” from Avery after that game.
Brooks 11minutes?
And ENOUGH with Gaines at PG.
Why the heck did Gaines play 34 minutes???

pathetic,
"...but i never sat back feeling sorry for myself, if you don't give me heaven I'll raise hell..."
Though I hate when my compadres pile on to out insult the team …
this very winnable game was fairly disasterous … my head is hung low
the only thing left is to root for the Giants over the Cowboys!
We need to send a wave of tweets to BK
saying to make DERON WILLIAMS the POINT GUARD not SUDIANTE GAINES
oh and tag Deron in the tweet
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
We have played 6 games this season including post season
I dont want to hear excuses. This is the worst team in NBA. Has a coach who simply likes to have a PG who is inferior to him. James has no shooting skills or has forgotten that he can also shoot. Literally no marshon sighting, and czar has to defend something that he doesnt believe to be true.
One thing I am happy is I dont write the checks from the coaching staff to the GM to the players – people have all been taking a ride
I have never wanted to fire Avery
but after watching that game that’s all I can think right now. no excuse whatsoever for those lineups and Sundiata Gaines playing time.
"I just copped me an all-things, a professional ball team
Tell me I ain't the illest hustler ya'll seen"
Avery should get fired
This is sad and embarrassing he have no clue what he does when he sits Dwill what to run … I mean it’s sad and I’m embarrassed to be this teams fan I was biting my tongue but can’t anymore … Fire the damn coach…

no defensive effort whatsoever, why does everybody crowd the pain on defense??? why is damion james so scared to shoot the damn ball???
where is the player development in this organization. why is deron turning the ball over so much and wtf is wrong with morrow!!!
"...but i never sat back feeling sorry for myself, if you don't give me heaven I'll raise hell..."
Postgame thoughts
Disgusting loss and a step backward.
Deron is playing lackluster. I think having to guard opposing SGs and going up against SGs is tiring him out. A lot of his previous proficiency came from overpowering smaller PGs. Now that he’s matched up with bigger SGs, he no longer has that advantage, so he’s being neutralized. Whatever the case may be, he doesn’t look like a top-3 PG, that’s for sure. The experiment of using Deron as a SG needs to end.
WRT spacing on fast breaks: why are guys running in single file when they should be on opposite sides of the ball-handler and flaring to the 3-point line? Our transition offense is horrible and probably should be blamed on poor coaching. How do our guys still not understand how to run a fast break?
Our close-outs on 3-point shooters leaves a lot to be desired.
Damion James had a horrible three-play sequence with 5 mins left in the game: Bites on the Gibson pump fake, turns the ball over on a drive to the lane, and then doesn’t close out on a three-point shooter. Every game he’s a culprit.
Okur can’t rebound. Moreover, our team can’t seem to rebound. Funny, because Hump is still doing his thing, but it seems as if we miss Lopez’s rebounding. I don’t know how else to explain it.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the Lakers were still pretty decent without Bynum, but the Nets are terrible without Lopez. I never realized how impactful Lopez was until now.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.

by MrDollarBills on Jan 1, 2012 8:35 PM EST up reply actions
Absolutely pathetic performance
To get blown out by Cleveland is an utter embarrassment. I don’t understand what the hell Avery Johnson is doing out there but unfortunately, a coaching change is the furthest thing from the minds of the front office. I am embarrassed as a fan. They should be ashamed of themselves as players.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
I never agreed with the FIRE AVERY posters
but this game was terribly coached. Avery better have a legitimate excuse for not having MarShon play more than 12 minutes. And we need to get Deron at point, and have Gaines play his respectable 20 minutes a game, not 30 or whatever
Nets Mets Giants ALL DAY
he should have nutted up ad said best way to rebuild is slow
not let himsef be ordered to do all he can to get a superstar
This is one of those time where I wonder why I am a fan of this team.
I experience that feeling way too much.
I think it's fine.
can't wait
to do this again tomorrow brooks wasn’t his best tonight avery you didn’t even play him not avery has a good start to games deron plays like crap he stays in avery your a moron

We could have had Nene or Tyson, but we are all in for Dwight.
I'm pondering quitting the Nets
I was a fan for NJ.. I live in Philly (dont like the Sixers)
Ratner ruined the team.. passed the baton to Proky who has ruined it further
Avery is an idiot ( lets play a 2nd team all-nba pg at sg)
King should have said no to Proky and built the team the right way

Orlando's not trading him at the deadline
I’m starting to believe that. They’ll probably going to keep him, and they’ll think if they can make the playoffs and make some noise, he’ll resign. Meanwhile, the Nets will do pretty badly, hopefully get a top pick, get a stud, resign Deron, sign D12, resign Brook, fill in the holes, and win a championship in Brooklyn. I’m convinced that’s what King is thinking at this point.

this headcase may get Avery fired and call people out(petro, james, farmar) who play sloppy
its not a good solution at all but this team needs a shot of high grade dope or something. they play so lifeless and mentally weak. how do you commit so many turnovers against Cleveland?

Hey everyone, huge Marshon fan here obviously :P. Got to see him a ton over the last 4 years and have tried to watch as much Nets as I can to see him play.
Didn’t catch the game today, but sounds like Brooks didn’t get much time after some great scoring games. Was he that bad when he got on the court today (saw he was 0-3), or just not getting time for no apparent reason? Any chance he gets into the starting rotation?
with avery johnson coaching
that will never happen
10:30 a.m. on february 23, 2011 woke up with no hope.
12:30 p.m. on february 23, 2011 hope was born

you see friarblog
we have this idiot disguised as our head coach and he has no idea what the hell he’s doing. So after having 3 great games Brooks gets no playing time

I can see if it was because of his defense (since he wasn’t really taught to play any under our awful coach his last three seasons), but not sure how his offense can be kept off the court
neither can we

I agree with most of the frustration over the last hour, but just one thing.
There is a limit to which Deron should be criticized. There is no question he has been playing poorly. But I find it outrageous when I read all these ridiculous comparisons to Harris and claims that D-Will is somehow not a leader. And if that’s not enough, there are suggestions to trade the guy away. Newsflash: Deron is more than likely the only thing standing between us and a disaster that would be worse than the one before he came here. So he made a bad decision to have Avery play him away from the ball. If you guys honestly think that warrants some of the criticism he’s getting on here, then maybe you guys should be reminded of our situation through the Melodrama and before that.
deron is not the problem

he plays poorly, then stupidly decides to change his own position (presumably blaming his teammates for not converting his passes)— that’s the definition of “not a leader.”

They didn't spontaneously come up with the plan to have Deron play off the ball.
That has been the plan for several weeks now.
well, when you have an overwhelming talent like
Yatta, you have to accommodate him. But why did they only implement the plan when they found an actual SG?

Deron is playing sg for us. He rarely brings the ball up the court.
Gains is solid but their is no reason to be starting him at pg
Lopez is our second best player.
Without him, every bust big man can dominate in Nets’ paint.
Lopez’s injury is affecting this franchise’s future.
Deron might leave.
on the bright side
if Deron leaves, we might get more of his passes.

i didn’t think Avery would be a good coach at all when we hired him. yeah highest winning percentage ever… but he also had Dirk on his team who doesn’t need an offensive coach in the slightest. i’m upset but also a little pleased that i was correct about his suckage

considering he said he was gonna try and lose weight
Offer Petro and JWill. They really don't need Framar, but they'd be getting back 2 big bodies,
12 more fouls. Hopefully JWill plays tomorrow and shows something, then we can ship him to Sac with Petro
tweet bk about getting cousins.
no point in thinking about potential players to send to sac if he doesnt hear us.
I mean
Why Deron is gettin worse? Nets’ curse?
Why Avery is really bad at coaching now? Nets’ second curse?
Why Nets cannot make every shots? Nets’ third curse?
I don’t know why Morrow is gettin suk and every players can’t play well?
Why they did well at first half and fall down crazy at second half?
I know we didn’t have a time, but I don’t understand.
It cannot be worse like that even though we have Deron.
I think we have to make the NBA team before we get Dwight.

Heh.
As I said, I have no problem with the Nets losing — in fact, I think it’s in their best interest to do so — but Avery has to try to develop the team’s young players. MarShon Brooks shouldn’t be losing minutes to the likes of Gaines, Extra E and Stevenson. People think I’m being facetious when I say that Avery should be fired, but I am not. He is not helping this team; if anything, he’s a detriment.
Although, I’m not sure why everyone is panicking. Isn’t this what we expected? Think long-term; remember what’s at stake.
Well, first off: it won't happen.
However, I would be in favor of Jeff Van Gundy.

Official Member of the "Travis OutLOL Society". 5 years, 35 Million Dollars worth of lulz.
Uhh in what league are you averaging 20 and 10, deron? or is it 20 frowns and 10 turnovers a game?
Meanwhile, Williams said Nike — his only sneaker endorser in his career — "didn’t tell me anything" regarding free agency.
He said playing style is a factor in marketability, but ultimately it relies on something that’s eluded the Nets the last five years.
"Win. That’s the only thing I can think of," he said. "I’m already averaging 20 and 10."
One of the things i like about this guy is that he always says what he feels.
He’s basically saying the nets have not won and that at this point in his career that’s all that’s left for him, because he is already a great player. He has publicly said that he would stay if they put a winning team around him. The man has not lied or beat around the bush. IF YOU GET DWIGHT HE STAYS. Avery is probably sweating as we speak wondering if Deron will fire him so he needs to bucle up.
why would dwill be answering questions like that post loss
to cleveland? that is a joke that he is even making reference to these kind of things…..as much as i think he is a great player, these kind of things really rub me the wrong way!!!!

He's talking about money so it's obviously a huge factor. Would he really leave $25 million on the table?
I’m strongly in favor of The Nets not trading him no matter what and if he walks, making sure he doesn’t get that extra year and all that extra money. What would we really get for him in a trade? We’d have NO leverage in that situation so I’d rather destroy and rebuild while making sure to hurt his wallet as a final “goodbye”

"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
not even close
here’s the point. from the top down, the strategy has been to go for a superteam, starting with a superstar whose status will attract others to Brooklyn. That’s why they went for Melo, got D-Will and are now pursuing D12.
It’s high risk, high reward. You dont take chances on middle level players, you go for it all.
will it work? Not sure.

Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Lopez is a nice player, but moves too slowly and really hurts our team defense. We don’t have good enough defenders on the perimeter to counter that. This team wasn’t built. It is just a random assortment of below average players. This is really a terrible, terrible team.
That’s a pretty broad general statement with nothing to back it up. Especially when most teams who win the championship have a great defending big man, or overmatch their opponents because of size.
Did you see he blocked Melo one-on-one? He is huge, and has long arms.
And that’s help him in defense.
Your reasoning for why he is a good defender is that he blocked Melo one-on-one once? There are so many articles out there that specifically address how awful he is on D. And I’m not saying he can’t be a part of a team that wins a championship, just that we haven’t surrounded him at all with the type of personnel that can help hide his defensive woes.
Then please give me the stats that he is a bad defender?
Most big men he defended can not score so much. Or has the foul trouble.
Honestly, I’m too lazy right now to go looking through the internet to find the stuff, but here’s one at least that I remember:
http://netsarescorching.com/2011/06/02/a-word-on-brook-lopez-defense
And remember, I’m not saying he can’t win a championship…Dirk did, I’m saying this team wasn’t built at all to hide Lopez’ problems
Brook Lopez can abuse most centers and PFs in the league....When he is on the court..
Without Lopez, every bust big man like Zaza Pachulia can abuse Petro and Sheldon Williams…

for this team right now you guys need to be casual drinkers, not alcoholics
BK has set this up beautifully…..he has not overspent for mediocre talent (ala Nene), he has set us up with some wonderful expiring contracts (Okur) who will either serve to free up cap space or work as a bargaining chip in a trade, he has provided us with what could be a great young talent in Brooks, he has left us with tons of flexibility for the DH12 trade.
Best Case: Nets trade for DH12 for Lopez + Picks + possibly Marshon
Worst Case: Nets suck this season, go to brooklyn with DWill, Lopez, Marshon (who could turn out to be the truth) + a bunch of picks in a loaded draft + huge cap space.
Everyone needs to settle down – we just lost our only offensive weapon of the last 3 years and there was no training camp. Of course we suck right now, but thats what happens when you strip your roster thin to leave flexiblity to sign real talent.

1) Someone or something to get this team pumped
2) Avery needs to get MarShon more involved (unless there was a legit excuse for him not to play)
3) Deron should be playing Point guard, not shooting guard. Forget what he said about playing more off the ball, he needs to be our PG
4) Gaines should not be playing more than 22 minutes a game
5) Lopez needs to recover and play again

If the teams sucks this bad, then avery might as well start both rookies and start developing them...
It’s not like we are pushing for the playoffs
Don't you guys think DWill knew fully well that this team would suck without Brook?
I’m more worried about Bynum beasting this season than how badly the nets are doing, as far as the future is concerned.
You know what I say?
Moiso Dwight, get a SF who can get this team pumped and can ball, draft some nice players this draft and we’re set.

Proky doesn't give a hoot either.
This whole team is a hobby to him and billy king and Avery will get to screw around for a while. And then one day, they will get taken care of Russian style. Both will be fired and then we start again. I imagine that might be when the Brooklyn nets have an abysmal inaugural first year. We don’t get Dwight. Deron leaves. Ryan Anderson,Derrick favors, and enes kantor average double doubles and brook demands a trade to Orlando this summer. Btw, marshons body doesn’t hold up to NBA physicality. And we chose Marcus Williams over Kyle Lowry. This team is definitely cursed.

One loss to Cleveland and everyone thinks D-Will is gone (although Dwight hasn’t been traded, so that doesn’t make sense). D-Will could care less about this team, he knows we don’t have Lopez, so why does it matter? If we get Dwight he stays if not…look what I said above…it’s a win/win

Cause he wants the ball in his hands too much
He’s a rookie and was 0-3, and he’s trying to go ISO on everybody on the floor. He’s waving Sundiata Gaines off, although he is good, he’s not some Kobe Bryant-like talent. He’s still a rookie and you can’t let this get to his head that he’s an all-star already
but but
just a few days ago Avery was saying how he wants MarShon to be aggressive and even to take bad shots. Maybe Avery is going to bench himself.

I was fine with this team rebuilding around Favors and Lopez, with draft picks and Brooklyn…but if they are going to go the other way, you actually have to build a team. You don’t acquire a superstar (even though he hasn’t played like one) and surround him with Morrow/Gaines/Hump/Petro/Farmar/James with no strategy on how to make the team better.
And if the strategy is to hope that Dwight Howard signs here…fine, I can deal with that, but right now, and looking toward the future, this team looks like garbage.

They traded for Deron without really thinking it through on a whim. Utah probably knew this guy had plans to go to DAL and got a king’s ransom for him.

Any way you slice it things are going to get better. Maybe not today, maybe not this season, but I will still be excited for Brooklyn and I will continue to be a NETS fan.

Okay , I've figured it out......
The problem is not DWill , Not Lopez….Not Outlaw leaving…..nor Graham leaving…..but…..Everyone that comes to play for the Nets comes here expecting to lose and they are happy with that…..There is No Winning Mentality here……..Except JKIDD who was a special player…..
if JKidd was playing with these scrubs, Avery coaching and with Lopez hurt
what would be our record?
yeah JKidd at his prime
with a slumping Morrow, stone hands James, Hump, has-been Okur
say JKidd playing SG while Gaines starts at PG
what would be our record?
I wouldn't mind
I’m thinking about stop watching bball and stick to the yanks.
The sad thing is that most of us are really NETS fans we really love this team and want them to do well but they always letting us down. I cannot see myself rooting for another team so this losing needs to change ASAP

so let’s try to maybe rationalize Avery’s game plan tonight?
Perhaps he wanted to force the Cavs to shoot threes while having Gaines and others attack the basket and we were victimized by lucky 3 point shots?
I don’t know, feel free to pick that apart. I’m searching for reasons why Avery coached the way he coached

Czar was talking about Marshon on the broadcast, which I only watched bits and pieces of. He said that the Cavs had done their HW on Brooks and were doing a good job denying him the ability to handle the ball. Any truth to that?
he also said that Brooks didnt seem to know where he should be
and he looked over at Avery to ask where he should be. Coaches not crazy about that.

I think you’re underestimating the effect although I also think you are over-exaggerating my own view-point.
I’m not trying to say every free agent is going to want to play in Brooklyn but it definitely could be intriguing to some players, especially guys who grew up in the Northeast. It’s certainly more intriguing than playing 41 of your home game in Newark New Jersey
I'm with toe
Cities such as La, Chicago, Boston, NY will always be attractive, not saying its the magic bullet, but it helps recruiting players over there
I guess I'll just point you guys to another team with a brand new arena in NYC
the new york mets, who nobody ever wants to play for. like i said the giants and jets play in EAST RUTHERFORD, the swamp. the arena location isn’t such a big deal. even when they get to BK most guys will probably stay in jersey anyway. i mean, reading the puff piece articles here on NetsDaily you would think everyone will be lining up to play there, but time will tell I guess. reading the articles here you’d also think we had lebron, dwight, and carmelo in the bag,

I never believed any of that stuff.
Your Mets position I think is a bit misguided. The Mets haven’t had any money to offer free agents in the past few years but when they made their initial push to become more like the Yankees in the early 2000’s they were able to ink Pedro, Glavine, Beltran, etc. Baseball players almost always follow the money so I think it’s a bit strange to compare it to basketball.

As you said, the Nets, if they don’t get Dwight, have done the same to themselves by slowing their own rebuilding process.
It doesn't take much to make a team respectable
Pedro’s signing, for what it was worth, legitimized the Mets as a team that would spend money and wanted to win. Paired that with two great young players and the Mets had some good years. It of course came crashing down, but what’s to say the Nets cant be a legit NY team?

But he seems so stiff and one dimensional to me.
Is Avery serious?
"We continue to evaluate our starting lineup," Johnson said. "We know, as we move forward, it’s going to be pretty difficult to start both of our point guards, because, Deron, it takes an enormous amount of energy when he’s battling with those twos. We’ll continue to work with it. It’s only five games into the season. We’ve got work to do."

maybe he's trying to market himself as a derrik rose type to make himself more marketable
I’m starting to think he doesn’t really care about the season as lon Dwight is here.
that's just my read
since it was clear that DWill was getting frustrated with the poor shooting, meaning no assists, etc. So he would want to be in a position to score more and save some effort bringing the ball up and covering 1s. I don’t doubt that Avery immediately acquiesced, just to keep DWill happy. It’s very rare for a coach to make a radical change like this early in the season, plus he must know that the loser in all this will be Brooks. And he must know that Brooks is now Dwight-bait, so raising his value is important. Most importantly, you don’t jerk your “franchise player” around— he has to want a move like this. The last coach with the stones to do that was… OK, I can’t think of anybody. It’s got to be the star’s decision.

I just started my new year
with a Jets and Nets lost. It’s gonna be a loooooong season
Brooklyn we go hard...
It's all starting to clear up now....the smoke has settled......
We failed at obtaining Melo….made most of our players look like idiots…..we turned around and made a “great” trade….obtained Deron Williams….clearly our FO didnt think things through. They were merely trying to get that superstar to head into brooklyn with, not knowing that superstar would want another superstar just to even consider going into brooklyn with us. With that being said, we’ve offered up our entire roster for Dwight, had it turned down, then decided to sign whatever misfits we could……granted with no training camp and no practices it’s hard to gel all these new players, but let’s just look at our starting lineup(the one that opened the season, not the one that features sundiata freaking gaines)
Dwill – greatly underperforming
Morrow – clearly suffering from lack of Lopez, the attention Lopez garnered allowed him more spotup opportunities
Djames – STONEHANDS…great hustle guy, but that’s it, will never be a starting 3 in this league
Hump – is what he is, a solid rebounder who is overmatched on defense very often, he too suffers from lopez being out
Okur – definitely an upgrade over Johan, but a year older and coming off major surgery
With all that being said, AVERY FREAKING JOHNSON MAKES THINGS WORSE BY NOT HAVING A FREAKING LINEUP…..sundiata gaines at the point?? moving your “star” pg to shooting guard?? having him chase around 2 guards and sometimes sf’s?? does this make any sense? Marshon Brooks probably the only guy who can score 1 on 1 besides dwill, gets his playing time reduces?? he doesnt know the plays? well have him iso and clear out!!!!! Dwill goes to the bench like 3 times a half, what the hell is that? what star player does that???? give him a straight 4 minute rest, then back at it!!!!!
Let me tell you how this movie ends……We go all in for dwight later on, we get turned down……we panic and trade our draft picks for second tier all stars and almost stars, in a last ditch effort to appease dwill…..deron leaves us at years end, and not only have we lost our picks, but we’ve strapped ourselves with terrible contracts!!!! We match any offer for lopez, and he is never the same after his injury!!!!
And we as longtime loyal fans of the NEW JERSEY NETS, get the worst of it, a giant band of second rate players who would be the 8th or 9th man on a solid playoff team…..they’ve crapped on us yet again…trying to get superstars for brooklyn and basically not giving a crap about us in our last season in NJ, do we matter to them? Not at all!!! Well karma is a giant b**ch, and it’s gonna bite them going into their Taj Mahal…..enjoy

I guess I sometimes don’t realize that a lot of posters here are too young to even remember the two finals appearances, which is funny because I still consider something of a kid even though I’m almost at the quarter century mark.
I guess that bought a lot of good will from me and that’s why I’m so patient. I saw how terrible the Knicks were for years- all teams go through it unless they’re the Lakers. While I think Avery is a pretty bad coach, while I’m very suspicious of Billy King’s ability as a GM, I remember that the New Jersey fans didn’t show up to watch teams that were really good.
I guess that’s why I’m excited for Brooklyn. I think that when the team eventually becomes good, either via the draft or via trade or free agency, fans will come to Brooklyn to support them.
I'm 32
Which makes me old enough to remember the finals runs but also the garbage before…this team is cursed. Every time something great seems to come up things turn worse…case in point my favorite net of all time drazen petrovic dies of a car accident…..that guy brought so much life to the game and poof just like that….god do I miss the original petro

why couldnt we just sign Nene and Marcus Thronton
and just go out and win games instead of this BS?
Magic are looking like the 3rd best team in the league, Nets look like the 3rd worst. Lopez finally gets injured, Bynum is beasting
why is deron playing the 2? Why is Brooks getting punished for his tunnel vision? its not like he’s the 10th best player on the roster. Why does this team turn the ball over so GD much.
times are desperate and we may need to do something radical like trade Lopez for Cousins and start winning now before Deron officially checks out. Besides we know the Magic would take Cousins(they love hotheaded bigmen with potential). and then swing Farmar and James for Mayo or Beasley
D-will/Gaines
Morrow/Brooks
Beasley/Stevenson
Hump/Shelden
Cousins/Okur
hey i mean they we’re willing to go through 12-70, they gave away RA for nothing, they thought they could get Lebron and Bosh, they offered Tyrus and Boozer big money, they got dragged through the mud during melo-drama, they traded the promising(via patience) future for renting D-will, they blew off this offseason for Dwight. Why stop now with the radical moves and think logically?
please. this is the endgame. the Nets FO is tight-roping the abyss of death and they are losing balance

We need some teeth- we need some of that 2004 Pistons Bad Boys Kool-Aid. Beasley is our guy. Cousins maybe a little bit too crazy for me though….but I like that idea anyways.
I agree with the Thorton/Nene part but not the Cousins for Lopez thing
and the beasley thing makes no sense either.
Dwill/Gaines
Thorton/Brooks/Stevenson
Beasley/Stonehands
Nene/Hump/Jwill
Lopez/Shelden//Petro
That’s a top 5 team in the east.
We have two draft picks that could be very good so even if we lose D-Will and Dwight
I think that we’re still in good position, and that’s why I like the gamble that Billy took.
I’m pretty sure we’ll be in good position to get Dwight even if we have to give up brooks plus he wants to be here so it’s a good gamble.
This team is not going to get any worse and our draft pick will be attractive.
D-Will’s best option is to wait for free agency because he will be able to go to the Mavs (or stay here if Dwight is a Net) who don’t have any assets to trade for him so he won’t demand a trade.
Hopefully Billy reads his mind well enough and trades him if he seems like he won’t stay no matter what in the event that Dwight or bust fails.
If Avery lays off the pipe for a while this team can be competitive but we’re going to have to be patient because it seems like their experimenting to see what comes out.
I’m always going to be a Net fan so I have no choince but to buckle up and watch the paint dry.

LETS GO NETS!
Well, Avery did chose
to play TWill at the 2, when he was much better at the 3 and a little better at the 1. Still, you don’t move the star you’re desperate to re-sign unless it’s his idea.

I don’t think T-will was the answer (not like he’s burning it up in Houston) but he DID give 35 million to Outlaw and he can’t craft a line-up for beans.
Twill was rookie of the month in April, posted triple doubles etc.
HE HAS TALENT. All I am saying is that instead of avery trying to work with Twill to get his moiso together he chose to pay outlaw 35 mill.
Avery sucks.
Definitely, but Rookie of the Month in April means so very little when you are playing so many meaningless games.
hey he showed up when the team was 9-60
and honestly, where do you think he would be on the depth chart right now if he stayed at the 3?

I was REALLY down going the rebuilding way.. you know Brook Lopez/Favors/Brooks + Kemba/Knight or someone else + we could have used our 2012 GS pick on someone like Gilchrist + our own 2012 pick which will definitely be a lotto pick + a possible midround pick from the rockets… I REALLY LIKED THAT.
BUT
I understand what Proky/Nets FO are trying to do, they are trying to eventually dethrone the Knicks as NY’s #1 team and you CAN’T do that with a bunch of young unknown talent. I GET IT.
BUT
It’s really a huge gamble if you ask me, we really handed the Jazz a big chunk of our future with the Dwill trade, and the ONLY way that trade is worth it for me is if we get SUPERMAN.
For Deron ALONE, IT IS NOT WORTH IT.
You guys can kill me for this all you want, but I HATE Deron’s attitude/mentality… I had hoped he would be our Jkidd version 2.0… boy was I wrong. I still love Dwill’s game and think Avery using him as a SG is diminishes his value as a player but his attitude STINKS.
Although we are 1-4 after 5 games and things look really bad right now, I am hopeful that Billy King can ACTUALLY pull this DH12 thing out… that is the only thing keeping me here still.
If Deron bolts and we get nothing back, it WILL BE REALLY HARD FOR ME TO CONTINUE BEING A FAN OF THE NETS.
My .02.
One of the things that makes me mad about Prokhorov’s ownership group is that they are so focused on “dethroning” the Knicks, just like the Jets are so bent on “dethroning” the Giants.
New York has clearly shown, just like LA this season, that it can support at least two successful teams in a sport.
true, the inferiority complex screws these guys
like the Jets covering the Giants superbowl murals….. scoff…. THEY put that “lil brother” thing in their own player’s heads. it’s bush league.

I agree but the NBA is more about stars compared to other sports
for me? I would have gone the rebuilding way but us loyal nets fans are very few so they are trying to get stars in order for BK to be a hit… but I think if they would have stuck with the rebuilding plan BK would have supported them regardless.. BK is a proud borough you know

I know the loss of Brook has taken its toll on our game plans, but, all the more reason to get the ball in Marshon's hands to create shots!
In addition, I have no problem with Gaines as the backup point guard, but, that is what he is a backup point guard! Deron Williams is a top 3 point guard, keep him in his natural position. If they were not confident with Morrow or Marshon starting, then we should have made an offer to Marcus Thornton to start at the shooting guard position.
LETS GO NETS!
Marshon should start
he has been our best player in 3 out of 5 games.
Dwill should NOT play SG
give him the damn ball
Fire Avery
Avery sucks..Bottom line.
Im now on that wagon. Gaines 34 mins? Marshon 11? I was watching some of the game and it looked like we were in control. WTH happened!!!!
The Dwill at SG experiment has got to stop!! We have a real SG on our team whos dying to be unleashed. This is a game i thought we were going to win then i look at the score and see we lost by double digits?

It's not just that the team sucks, or that Avery sucks
It’s that by the end of this year we will have had 2 years of anxiety about landing and signing superstars. Two years of rooting for players who were basically chum. Two years of not seeing our young players develop. Two years of frustratingly bad coaching. Two years of sky-high expectations, with nothing to really show for it. Two years waiting to move. And a year-and-a-half of kowtowing to the whims and managerial fantasies of highly athletic jerks.
This whole situation has been as unpleasant as possible. 12-70 was a comparative joy ride— the team was terrible, but we knew it, and they never gave up.
It’s no wonder everyone is angry.

OK, I’ll rec that. But my expectations were pretty low after 12-70, I knew no one wanted to play here, especially not in Newark.
Unreasonable expectations fuel some of it. We weren’t promised John Wall. But there is a lot of truth to what you say. Billy King has been a notorious ‘name chaser’. Avery has no idea how to coach.
12-70 was the most unpleasant thing I’ll ever experience as a fan, I don’t care how hard they tried. It was pitiful watching the team lose every game by 20.
BINGO!
I yearn for the days of watching fun competitve basketball, like we had only for a brief time between 2001-2005.

Marshon has been the most exciting piece for Nets fans to root for and watch. He also was has been the most consistent scoring option for us, so what do we do? Play him 11 minutes. Brilliant.
If I have to see Morrow try to dribble drive off his leg one more time, my tv might not make it through the new year! Morrow is a bonafide spot up shooter, especailly when he gets wide open looks. Keep to the strength of your game and that is not dribbling.

I had to record the game, so I just got
done watching it.
It legit made me want to cry.
You could tell how bad the Cavs are, but the Nets were horrendous at guarding the perimeter and made it so easy on them. It’s like the one thing thing they can decently do is shoot open 3s and that’s what we gave them.
Also, the Nets offense was horrendous – just fumbling the ball and turnover after turnover. It was pretty pathetic.
Finally, Avery’s rotation was atrocious tonight. How did Stevenson and Shawne and Morrow warrant more playing time than MarShon, when the Nets were in desperate need of scoring? Avery has to find the rook some minutes, b/c they desperately need him to score some baskets.
Tonight’s loss was a result of horrible perimeter defense and horrible coaching rotations from Avery. I’m really disappointed in this loss. It was acceptable to be overwhelmed by good or even decent teams. It is not acceptable to be overwhelmed by a very bad team like the Cavs. The Nets were completely dominated in the second half by a very bad team as a result of pure carelessness and inability to score (due to the wrong the personnel being on the floor). That cannot happen.
At one point stevenson and Morrow were running point lmao
at this point i just felt that avery was payed by Dallas to sabotage the season so D-Will does not stay…I should be a Net with this bunch and that’s just how bad they looked.
Positive Spins
I guess worse case scenario for Brooklyn is we have Lopez+Swag+ a REALLY good lotto pick and a solid 15-25 pick from the rockets + maybe we can trade dwill somewhere if its clear the DH12 won’t happen…
Ok, lets try this again!
Until Brook gets back, the starting lineup should be…..
Deron
Marshon
?(maybe Damion or Stevenson)
Hump
Okur

we should trade Farmar and James for starting SF otherwise we hit
by Aidar Berlinbayev on Jan 2, 2012 12:46 AM EST up reply actions
Forgetting how to shoot and being a poor ball handler is another good way to kill your value. Avery is giving James a chance and he’s not following through.
Farmar was bad at running the offense although Deron at the 1 and Farmar at the 2 was successful at times last season.
Well King pulled Okur deal and his coming along to play
but Killer B’s better help this team right now b/c we HIIIIIIIIIITTTTT. Need a SF who can put 15-20 ppg every night

I feel I should mention this, as much as I was willing to support the youth movement with Derrick Favors, Lopez, and more picks, there was a very good chance that would have been a terrible team to open Brooklyn with. I would have been willing to be patient but clearly Prokhorov wasn’t.
Demarcus Cousins?
Sure he seems like a loose cannon but he has talent and we need another big man. Maybe we can get him on the cheap. Dood’s been averaging a double double this year so far
I agree but
I would think this would lower his value and the Kings would probably want to trade him to the Eastern Conference. Not sure what it would take but Maybe we could do a package with a draft pick and Farmar and throw in some other young talent?
If only they would take Petro with 2 rounder
Well i hoped we would draft him 2 time loseing him wont hurt that much i hope

I hope he at least tries
Cousins is the type of player this team needs. Even if he is a knucklehead. A frontcourt of Cousins and Lopez would be nice to build around even if we don’t get Dwight. I’m not sold on DWill either…We could trade him for Westbrook. That would be a nice young core of players with those 3 and Brooks.
Definitely agree..
Except for the dwill for Westbrook part.. I like pass first point guards, the problem is dwill is less effective right now because he doesn’t have many quality players around him.. Picking up cousins would a great moves for us for now and the future.
I will be patient with the players (except Petro), and even with Avery. I will try to stop automatically recommending any comment that says “Fire Avery.”
Yikes, C.A.T., when did you write this?
100 years ago
or maybe 14 hours ago. And I haven’t recommended any “Fire Avery” comments all day!
The only player I’m down on is DWill the coach and GM, which really isn’t a player.

Oh, I've been down on Avery since about last November
But the tsunami of Avery-hate is hitting this board right about now. I’m not going to say that it’s wrong— I just accept that we’ve got him for at least the remainder of the season, so let’s hope he’s not in a position to mess up too badly. I was kind of hoping that DWill would intelligently run the offense,and Avery could motivate or whatever. But the hope that DWill is up to it has faded rapidly this week. It’s weird, the first 2 weeks with the team, he meshed magnificently. Was that all due to Brook? That seems impossible….

The only good thing I see about this is that if Deron wanted to play SG they are just doing what he wants
and that deron is trying to become a better player by exploring the different ways he could play. In Utah his game was held back by a strict playing style. It does not look like he is not trying…in fact I like his effort…but he is just not playing to his strengths. Than again maybe I’m just crazy. I was hoping to see an all-star point guard not a wannabe Derrick Rose.
But the hall thing about it he's not D Rose pr Westbrook who can put 30 in a heart beat
He’s less athletic than them and way slower
by Aidar Berlinbayev on Jan 2, 2012 12:56 AM EST up reply actions
That's not even the problem
The proble is that he can score but he is not a scorer because he at least has J-Kidd speed.
I just hope he is doing this to get better or something…he needs a floater…both Rose and Paul developed that and that will make things easier for him.
Yeah D Will is a SYSTEM PLAYER
i can see it right now. He’s not I.Thomas, AI or D Rose who just take ball and score, D Will is set up player if he cant get peaple in their places he gets lost and forces jumpers and as of right now they not falling

Kobe and MJ
both improved as team players when they were made to use the triangle, the ultimate strict playing style. Sloan was a smart, tough, and very successful coach.

Only difference between phill's triangle and sloans style is that Kobe was allowed to do what he wanted
Sloan didn’t allow D-Will to do that.
Well, the flex relies on the PG to look for cutters. In the triangle, the PG has no particular role, just another wing player like the SG. Deron in the triangle might score more than now by essentially playing like Kobe. But he was masterful in the flex, and I don’t think he’s nearly as elite as a scorer.

I am checking out early
I have been emotionally invested in this team for 20+ yrs and I am sick of us being a joke. We add FA and they immediately come here and lose all skills that made them attractive. Our rookies are either headcases or soft. We havent had a star rookie since Kenyon and that was due to Kidd. We routinely lose to abysmal teams and nothing changes! Someone fight somebody or talk crap in the post game. Show some heart!
We are not getting Dwight and Deron will leave.
Prepare yourselves for rebuilding. Look to the draft.
Ryan Anderson is balling by the way. Dude would have been great on this team but we moved him for courtney Lee!!!!
I will watch the games from afar.
players don't play well fr the nets for some reason
the best thing that could’ve happened to him is to go to Orlando.hahahaha.
Poor Marshon
The team is losing by 10 to the Cavs and he still cant get run. He has to sit and watch Morrow turn over the balll and jack up bricks. I like Morrow but he is severely limited.
Please dont lose that swagger rookie! You would be ROY on another team.
I doubt it...
I think this might motivate him be even better…he did look a little lost so now he may start watching more film and do the little things…

it either blows up in march, or in the summer. This garbage is not going to make it to the all star break, I’m telling you that right now. They will have only won 5 games by February, if that much.

the offense is garbage
if you drafted him to score, put him in a position where he can maximize his talents. I would be running plays for him, the situation is that bad and he’s the only net aside from williams that can put the ball in the hoop. If Brook’s is productive, that will draw the attention of the defense creating opportunities for others. It’s a small sample size, but from what we’ve seen so far when he is given the looks, he makes the best out of them. I was not upset that he was 0-3.
At least he’s aggressive, while the other pansies stand around and pass up open shots because they’re afraid that they’ll miss. We’ll never get anywhere with these kinds of players and this mentality.

We got a first rounder and sasha for T-Will and he wasn't that high of a pick
Cousins is a high pick and he has shown more than T-will so I can see them getting a little more than we did, but if we could get him for farmar and a future fist rounder that would be cool cuz i think Petro would only make the trade worst…we are not giving up none of our two picks this year.
Cousins could be a nice trade chip also
you never know we have Billy “the trade ninja” King on our side
I really want Cousins
And the Kings could use a backup PG. Farmar for Cousins works. Throw in a pick if necessary.
DO IT BILLY.
And to anyone claiming this is all Avery’s fault, any coach would probably look bad — our players are subpar.

Patience (or is it patients)
Our power positions could be Lopez, Favors, Anderson, and Kanter. We keep going for the quick fix. We have no patience and regularly make desperation trades and draft choices (TWill, SWill). So OJ Mayo is going to fix us? A head case like Cousins? Please. I missed tonight’s debacle thank God but is it really a surprise? We have had more fringe NBA players on our roster than just about anybody and that has been the case for years now.
As for the coaching, playing Gaines is ridiculous. I’d guess it is a DWill thing which is another desperation move. If Kobe ran the Lakers, they wouldn’t have won their last two championship because we would have had Bynum. And the offense appears to be focused around staying outside of the 3 point line. On defense, we don’t challenge there. And our marginally talented players are regularly getting beaten on hustle plays? Insane.
62-4
My outlook hasn't changed. I didn't expect a victory.
With Lopez , I thought they would be a 10th seed. – slightly better than Toronto , Detroit , Cleveland with Washington being the worst probably.
Without him , I thought they would be one of the worst teams in the league.
It’s going to be a down year overall with ups and downs for all the players like Gaines , Morrow , James , Brooks , etc with varying amounts of minutes played from game to game. I expect Avery to fly by the seat of his pants because of the players on the roster and how they produce (or don’t produce).
And lets be honest , just about everyone has a different idea of who should start and who should play …… and I suspect Avery and his staff are in the same boat under these circumstances. I’d want to start Stevenson at the 2 myself. They really can’t win or please everyone at the same time.
It’s up to all of them to battle through it , learn the system , learn to play together , and get some level of consistency as best they can. The strong will survive and be a part of the future bench.

You forgot the fact that D-Will is the shooting guard for our team.
How could you possibly predict that?
If he was playing point tonight (even though he’s still not completely comfortable with the players) we would have won easily.
Sucking isn’t so bad considering the sircumstances but they are not putting the best team out there.
The man is a superstar, he can carry the team by distributing the rock, but he wants to be the scorer smh.
I didn't predict it , but look at what happened
Morrow has played poorly
Brooks is a rook
Stevenson got to the team late
Farmar has Farflopped or he might be there instead.
Gaines has played tough at least and he was with the team last year , so it is what it is. Partially deserved , partially circumstance of the other guards and Lopez going down and D.Will ok with trying it for awhile.

SF- Damion James/ Terrence Williams
PF- Ryan Anderson /Derrick Favors/ Kris Humphries
C- Brook Lopez/ Enas Kanter
I mean, the PG and SF postions needs an upgrade but I think this would have been a nice young team going into Brooklyn. Sure theres no superstar, but theres a clear bright future with this squad compare to the uncertainty we’re going to facing in a few months.

This is basically a past nonsuperstar Net all-star team
because some of the players on this team would have never been acquired if it was not for the other players which aren’t listed
Nets have had teams way better then this before, and still have been mocked, they need to gamble and get themselves a new Image
D-Will\ Dwight the amazing NYC duo
Yes you should deron

na its the healthy wrist
when he had an injured wrist last year he knew he had to be a pass first creater for teamates shots and didnt force everything. Are guys serious?? Its obvious dwill is struggeling because he goes into every game knowing unless he can light it up for 25+ points and have btwn 10-12 assists, we cant win. That is making him force things and play with too much pressure. A healthy lopez and consistent shooters would go a long way. Till then, root for power outages in the newark area.

Cousins is offically on the block
Is there any chance the Nets can trade for him hoping to add him to a D12 package? I know he’s a headcase, but I can’t say that I blame him too much, having to play alongside basketball blackholes in Evens, Thornton, and Jimmer in Sactown.
And I would have to think that Cousins/ Lopez offer would look much better than a Pau/Bynum offer, especially if D-Will can build some chemistry with Cousins and help keep him in line.
If the Nets acquired him, could he even be dealt before the deadline?
what exactly do we have to give for him????
Nothing that’s what!!

but we have enough for Howard??
use logic please not emotion
you can't subtract anything from what could be offered for Dwight
for example, we could try throwing in Morrow and 3 late picks for Cousins but that would detract from our trade offer package for Orlando, so we can’t take that risk

Otis Smith makes Travis Outlaw look like Avery Johnson
lol @ Cousins
Guys Cousins has maturity issues and could handle being in Sacremento so what would happen when u bring him to a big city? On top of that Avery couldn’t stand T-Will so how is he going to handle Cousins?
Fyi with PJ on staff you know he will be choked by Cousins

i feel like brooks wasnt even given the chance to work himself into the game
he only took one shot in the game, his other two shots was because of effort off the offensive boards. Dont like it.
Besides the crappy 3 , didn’t he have a drive and mid-range on the right side that missed with Hump open underneath the hoop (he missed the tip-in)? Or did I misremember and that was a different game.
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?" - Al Iannazzone
You what it is avery was always bad at dealing with rookies. Like the time he had Harris on the team the kid never really developed until he came with us. I think because of avery marshon might get traded because he just don’t work well with rookies

NETS MANAGEMENT
Let’s face it folks – you win when you have TOP MANAGEMENT.
This team is run by a bunch of SECOND RATERS.
PROKHOROV has yet to prove himself.
KING and JOHNSON are not exactly MENSA candidates.
Be prepared for a long and awful season as we limp into Brooklyn.
blah blah blah
Nets management is working to get us Dwight Howard, and as much as people hate or dont want to admit, they have put together a decent squad on the floor to allow us to still have the upper hand on Dwight, this is not going to be pretty but it is gambling, and thats what the nets need to take to get themselves out of the gutter. We have tried to do it evey other way and look at where we still are.
This has nothing to do with Management
BKing has done a very good job.
I am NOW focusing all my OPIE FORCE towards AVERY.
FIRE AVERY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why? this is still training camp for avery too
unlike a basketball player who works on his game and knows what he has, Avery needs to figure out how to make it all work. Avery has had less time to get his line ups together then these players have had to improve their game
Dont be fooled
with the nonsense.
ALL of us could see that starting Gaines and DWill was a mistake.
NO training camp is not an excuse for that especially if you are not going to play F’EN FARMAR.
Stop AVERY is an IDIOT along the lines of Lawrence “OPIE” Frank.
trust me I am not fooled, I am just not thinking with my emotions.
Gaines and DWill was a great starting line up, brought energy into the starting line up. Marshon was having a bad game, wasn’t getting calls or hitting shots. He is still figuring out what he is going to run, since we all here wanted him to take Morrow out of the starting line up. Who else would he put in? Stevenson cant last a whole game right now, he would be winded by the second half.
so your saying Avery did a great coaching job and this team rightfully should be blown out by Cavs in 2nd half???
kool-aid
DWill oop to D12
Otis Smith makes Travis Outlaw look like Avery Johnson
so coaching wins games??
I thought it was Daniel Gibson, Gee, and Jamison lighting it up in the second half, ooo and Deron and Hump not showing up until the second half
It was never a great starting lineup
it was stupid experiment.
I could understand if farmar was getting PT but he isnt. With Morrow, Stevenson, and Brooks on this team it doesnt make sense to have both your PGs in the starting lineup.
Actually even Frank is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than Avery.
Fire Johnson and hire Van Gundy - I'm telling you Thorn was smoking something when he let Van Gundy slip away in the night.

HUH?
Excuse me – but Avery Johnson is part of MANAGEMENT.
Prokhorov is a wildcard and the verdict is still out on King.
As for all of them being considered Top Management …
I’m from Missouri – show me.
When AVERY GETS FIRED
we will see if he was really part of the management.
If Dwill says FIRE AVERY, I want PJ. We shall see if you are right.
FIRE AVERY NOW!!!!!!
Loved Avery as a hire but now I am convinced he is not the coach for this team.
SMH!!!! It was obvious to him that since he wont be using FARMAR starting Dwill and Gaines was a mistake. SMFH!!!!!!!
I know the rookie is still young but clearly the rookie should have been in this game. WE LOST ANYWAY. Play the F’en ROOKIE.
I know Petro isnt the best player on this team. Why all of a sudden is Petro out of the rotation. SMH!!!!!!
Clearly Avery has a problem with young players – Twill should never had been penciled in as a SG like some mentioned earlier. DJ clearly has a better game then what he is being used out there for. I know a lot of you think DJ isnt that good but that makes two games where clearly DJ has more to his game then just garbage points and running the floor the guy has a decent jump shot. NOW BROOKS. Come on AVERY why are you holding this kid back for. Ok the rumor is he broke plays but clearly your plays arent working because your startiing SUPER STAR PG seems to think the offense sucks. So all those forced drives to the basket by Gaines were plays YOU CALLED OUT AVERY? COME ON. I dont care if the rookie scores 17 but has a bunch of TO. The VETERANS are not playing that well either. PLAY THE ROOKIE. F THAT START THE ROOKIE.
I dont know about everyone else, but Gaines really surprised me last night.
He is like a little Tasmanian devil out there
That is the problem though
He shouldnt be on the court with Dwill. He is limiting the play of Dwill by having the ball in his hand all the time. Dwill should be the ONLY PG on the floor. This DWILL as SG project should Officially be OVER. NO MORE DWILL AT SG. I see Devon Harris all over again.
WoW!!!!! I SEE OPIE ON THE SIDELINES AGAIN. I am going crazy here.
they were going back and forth, the fact that we have two players who can play the point and sg is not a bad thing
and like I said he had no other option. We all decided Ammo wasnt a starter. Stevenson is to out of shape to play more than 20 mins. Brooks is still a rook.
Disgusted with the team right now.
To lose like that to the Cavs. People talking about playoffs, forget it this team is headed straight for the lottery. There better be Howard at the end of the rainbow because if Deron’s out so am I.

"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Trying to get Dwight has NOTHING to do with Avery insisting on a Gaines-DWill backcourt or not playing a rising Marshon enough
With or without Dwight or Lopez, Avery can make better choices now.
Finally please Fire Avery Johnson.
I’m serious this guy can’t coach. He built his rep on D, the team has done nothing on D for the last year and change. He starts 6’1 Gaines beside Williams 6’3 Williams and expects good D. He make D Will play lots of 2 his all star PG while his D Leauge pg runs the offense.
He never gives minutes to plays that can contribute, signs garbage and insists on gving them minutes because there Avery Type players. And he doesn’t have a clue how to run an offense.
I don’t understand how this guy got a reputation as a defensive coach. He coach the Mavs whos biggest weakness was DEFENSE. The mavs only played good offense because the system was already established by Nelson on O before Avery arrived on top of which he had hall of fame and All Star offensive players. FIRE HIM!
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
We also didn't get to shut up the homer Cavs boradcaster.
Talking about the nets hanging around and how great the Cavs are.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
BILLY KING
Expect Brooks to be playing in Orlando …
Along with Billy King’s FIRST BORN to get Howard.
If this team moves to Brooklyn without Howard …
Nets MARKETING will have a $#%^ FIT.
DWill \ Ammo= not good enough for us, Ammo has not much other than shooting
DWill\ Stevenson= Stevenson dead by 20 mins, to out of shape
DWill\ Brooks= Two players who need the ball in their hand to be more effective,one who definitely needs it, plus is inconsistent on defense and is a rookie.
DWill\Gaines= two pgs who can play off the ball, alot of driving in the lane, great defense. Energy
Stevenson. He’d be the first guy to sub out to get a small dose of Deron/Marshon together before Marshon takes over the 2nd unit when Deron goes out.
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?" - Al Iannazzone
Stevenson on Anthony Parker , then Marshon on Parker / Gibson.
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?" - Al Iannazzone
Hmm whos you and Quick? Can you think of anyone MarShon?
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Your'e kidding?
Gaines took the ball out of D Will hands all night.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Correct.
Gaines with the ball in his hanbds it ends with a turnover or contested miss, Brooks it might end up in the basket. But the nets obviously think the point of basketball is turn the ball over more than the other team.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
I said that where?
I’m suggesting play Deron pg and somone else at SG. I haven’t said Deron played well but he might play better at his position. But Gaines is obviously not the answer and nor ir playing D Will at the 2. Yatta is ok as a backup PG thats what he should be playing.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
and I am saying Avery didnt have any options. and Dwill like playing the 2
Did it a lot in turkey. But I am going to stop this bickering because we just disagree with eachother, you have your logic I have mine
0-0'
I didn’t consider it bicker but discussing hoops. Anyway the other 3 options are fyi.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Thats some carefully chosen words.
Heres what it should say for
DWill/Gaines 6’3, 6’1 combination just so their isn’t an illusion of defense in the backcourt and Williams can be tired out. Play the All star PG off the ball and the let D League point guard run the offense. Have a guy who can Drive but not finish in Gaines at the one, he can draw fouls though!!!Oh Wait he’s an awful foul shooter.
Any combo but this one.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
But backcourt D isn't important because the nets don't play help defense
Wait theres something wrong there.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Any combination thats
sees the All star PG play pg and isn’t as undersized as this one is better. The only one this combo is better then is D Will Morrow and only if Morrow isn’t hitting his shots.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
It still take the ball out of D Will hands though so if its better is debateable.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Deron Williams is shooting 35.4% from the field this season. And Avery Johson wants him to play SG.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
How long did it take for him to start James over Outlaw about that long. Hes a stubborn little troll.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Ben1 your opinion is your right and you are entitled to it
but when i say “netsfans” im taking into account what i’ve read from 95% of the posters on this site, and the collective groans i heard at the atlanta game last week losing by 36, and the groans i will most likely feel walking out of that building toinight when we play the pacers. I see what you are saying about brooks not knowing the offense, and needing the ball in his hands…..however, we can all agree, that the kid needs to play, and there need to be some iso plays for him, whether it’s with the second or first unit.
Gaines and Dwill is a bad idea playing side by side for many reasons…..not the least of which is Dwill is chasing around the other teams 2 guard, and sometimes their 3!! That is not what we pay him to do….He is an all world point guard, Sundiata Gaines is little more than a 15 minute off the bench energy guy who can give your team a spark…a scrappy guy who’ll play D and push the ball and make some wild shots….that’s all he though, he is not the starting point guard on a team with any aspirations!

And I don't care how good the kid plays in game
Your starters need to start and finish games or their not starters.
We are better than this, Avery is just not defining the roles on the team.
I now officially think they are...
tanking this season… There are too many reasons and perks of tanking this season. Its also possible that nets and magic made a secret pack to increase the value of our picks. If not, then Nets keep their picks, their sharpshooters, stud rookies, and sign DH12 in offseason. Those are all the perks of loosing this season. I DWill is that close with management then he knows this too… If I were him I would be ok loosing this 66 game season.
