Nets Can't Keep Up With Nuggets In High-Scoring Affair

PrintThe Nets played their best offensive game of the season on Wednesday in Denver, but their defense allowed their third straight opponent to shoot 50 percent or better, and they fell to the Nuggets 123-115.
With some hot shooting, the Nets held an early seven-point lead, but the Nuggets took control with a 20-6 run late in the first quarter. They had 68 points at halftime and led by 23 early in the third. They were up 23 again late in the period when Jordan Farmar led the Nets on a 15-0 run to cut the lead down to eight early in the fourth. But the Nuggets answered with a 12-2 run to hold the Nets off.
It's the most points the Nets scored in a game since March 30 of last year when they hit 116 in a loss to the Knicks.
The Nets shot 52 percent from the field and hit a franchise-record 20 3-pointers on 35 attempts, but the Nuggets shot 60 percent from the field, 11-for-18 from 3-point range, and attempted 18 more free throws than the Nets. It was the first time in NBA history that a team made 20 3-pointers in a game and lost.
Farmar hit six of his eight threes and led all scorers with 26 points. Anthony Morrow was among five other Nets in double figures with 19. Deron Williams scored 16 points and dished out 13 assists before suffering a minor sprain of his right ankle and then getting ejected with two straight technical fouls late in the fourth quarter.

I'm tired of "brightsides" or moral victories
Great we scored 115 points. Great we broke a franchise record with 20 3’s. Great Farmar was lethal tonight. All I care about is that we lost. Again. We were down by 20 points. Again. Same song and dance game in and game out and frankly I am sick of it.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
You don't have to tell me, I agree, but I've decided to take the night off

God, that was awful.
With the exception of the threes and Jordan Farmar, that was painful to watch. There was NO defense at all; NONE. And you can’t be happy with D-Will’s “body language”…
I watched the whole game, but I refuse to believe we only lost by 8. This was clearly a 23 point game.

Nene is more than just the stats.
His passing is excellent for a big man, that’s a huge plus that doesn’t regularly show up on the stats.
Nene's passing doesn't justify a max contract

My bad I thought you came to your senses lol
Even after they went head to head….
Hump scored more points and matched his rebound production.
For all the talk of Nene’s passing he had 6 turnovers to 4 assists while Hump had 1 turnover for 3 assists.
Stats don’t lie Nene is over hyped and overpaid.
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
We could then make a run at Nene and draft Marshon Brooks, who’s stock is skyrocketing in pre-draft workouts and measured in with a 7-1 wingspan.

Not sure why we are debating
Which mediocre player is slightly better

I didn’t see them matched up much, the one play I remember was with two minutes left Nene tried to go one on one with Hump, result? Nene was forced to throw a bad pass which resulted in a turnover. That is often the result of anyone going against Hump.

Losing is bad...
But D-Will and Dwight both know they aren’t winning a championship this year, even if Dwight is traded here. This season is meaningless to be honest, it’s all about next year. Dwight can look at this team and think were terrible but D-Will is getting doubled and thus others guys are forced to step up.
One think I don’t like is that D-Will quits to easily for me, numerous times he just gives up on plays and I think he’s just giving up until Dwight is dealt.

with Dwight and role players. It just seems this truncated schedule is going to play in the Magic’s hands because they thrive on defense and they will get a top 3 seed in the east and unless they have to go through Miami and Chicago should be a lock for the ECF

"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."
E', I didn't watch the game.
Anything notable with Deron’s ejection or was it just frustration?
I assume not, but anything important to take from the game?
Sure, he did this for ~7 seconds on the bench
Failed to hustle back on numerous occasions, usually on his OWN turnovers. So basically, a day after saying he has to change his body language, he made it worse.

I have a question for everyone so vehemently defending dwill right now
why in hell don’t u have a problem with this teams leader and superstar not getting back on d, especially when its him who makes a bad play? its like running to 1st base, everyone can do it. derek jeter might miss a perfect pitch and hit a little grounder, but he hustles EVERY single time. no matter what. no matter the score. thats why he’s so respected as a player and as a leader.
why exactly is deron’s walking back ok?
Because Dwight Howard
who apparently shouldn’t care if DWill turns into crap

what?
If Avery starts Farmar over Deron, kiss this whole Dwight dream goodbye…DWill isn’t going to stick around and play for a coach who benches him for Farmar. Farmar is a good player, but not a starter…so don’t act like Deron leaving or getting traded wouldn’t be a huge loss.

it was more than that
Before the season the team gave Vince a new contract RAT thinking he was the big draw for the fans. More money than he was worth imo since the team was broke.
The team was bad and the owner was cheap giving away talent .
Kidd saw the writing on the wall and wanted out he’s a competitor that wanted a championship.
I’m glad he got one in Dallas.

Andrew Bynum was clutch in the end of OT for the Lakers with a tip in and block on a lay up that would have won the game for the Jazz.
on the bright side

Can't judge this team w/o Lopez
Just not enough talent besides DWill and Brooks, who’s developing. Whoever the other 3 are on the court wouldn’t get much run on a really good team.
Give up on this year, strike shortened anyway.
Hope Nets can still get Howard or keep DWill with Lopez and a lotto pick.
And who knows what Brooks and even Bojan will turn into, as themselves or as part of trade.
Have to accept this team will stink yet again this year.

Deron is being a baby. He’s getting payed and pampered by the Nets. Doing everything they can to make him happy, and this is what he gives back? No hustle, TO’s, and an ejection? You know what you got on my HIGH SCHOOL team if you pulled what Deron pulled? Benched the rest of the game an suspended for the next one, and he’s dong this in the NBA??

what's the point of farmar showing up until we're down 20 in the fourth
deron played like crap in the second half but we did not lose because of him
the entire team looked like a bunch of girls on defence, and yes, we lost because of our abominable defnece not deron scoring only 16 points and dishing out 13 assists along with 5 TO.
A trade needs to happen to get a big man because I don’t know if you guys noticed, but our bigs cant finish anything even layups
hump went on a tear last season because he had lopez by his side and could focus on catching the ball and finishing, now that he has d-league caliber bigs by him he can’t even get a decent shot off
anyone that can catch and finish easy shots will due…anyone
Why you so hate Deron? Yes he doesn't give out fantastic matches. But he plays normally.
I don't speak English
Deron does not play or act like a leader.

Get dwight; if not at deadline then at the end of the season. Leaving us with this sorry excuse of a team. What hes underthinking in his head: If we the fans can barely get through 10 games, HOW THE HELL IS DERON GOING TO get through 66 of them? He better hopes that guy doesnt ask for out, because if he does, then its going to be nuclear for this team and result in the loss of countless fans. I DEFINITELY cant take another 5- 8 years of rebuilding.
Derons a facilitator.
Jesus Freking Christ Couldnt facilitate for this roster.
It doesnt matter
Its not his play, its his hustle and crying like a baby. He looks like he has no heart.

Take the 08-09 season
all those experts were predicting we would end up dead last in the EC after we traded away JKidd & RJ.
Nobody believed in that team. Yet we ended up fighting for a playoff spot despite having Bobby Simmons and the great Yi as our starting Fs.
VC was a leader despite the fact that we gutted the team and were dumping contracts right and left, he made Devin an All Star, and that year Brook played with an aggressiveness I have yet to see again. Heck I even remember some games Devin missed and VC played the point and had career highs in assists at age 32.
Like Rod said his upbeat attitude had a great influence on the rest of the team. Like Frank said our youngsters would follow him anywhere.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for Deron. No excuses. Sorry.

no he didnt, he "took his time" with plenty of those injuries he had

On the bright side...
There are 32 games left until the Trade Deadline…we play.
Bobcats, Raptors, Pistons and Cavs 9 times….
I’d like to think we’re better than those 4 teams, so 28% of our schedule we play teams beneath us….PLUS in the week after the deadline we play the Cavs, Wizards and Bobcats. 12 of the next 38 games are against the four teams (32%). And we should have Lopez for some of the Februrary games. I think alot of you are forgetting the types of teams we have played….AND Damion James, Stevenson and Okur have been out numerous games. We’ve yet to play where EVERYONE on our team (besides Lopez) is healthy and in shape….
Playoff teams..
Atlanta x3, Orlando, Denver, Miami, Indiana…all playoff teams and all doing well this season. So before everyone panics, remember we have the FOURTH easiest schedule in the NBA, and one of the hardest in the first 20 games. Which means our next 46 games are MUCH easier…this is the toughest part of the season
Better than the Raptors?

and also his passing has been atrocious this year
u say u understand the turnovers, but that he has to pass to petro. well when he’s turning it over, the BALL IS NEVER GETTING to those players anyway!!!! thats why its called a TURNOVER!!! his passes have been awful all year…i don’t know what team you’re watching

he doesn't do it on every play
And I bet if we won tonight no one would be brining this up, we lost so we all need a scapegoat when really it was the whole team’s fault!!!!! Deron is not Jesus ok?

I agree
The bigs are pathetic, but DWillz just has to stay strong as the captain of the ship, and try to make lemonade out of lemons.
With all this losing I really hope D12 is coming.
Bk I know you see this madness and nothing is being done about it. D12 has to be coming, if not then what the hell is Proky paying you for? Speaking of Proky where the hell is he and why isn’t he addressing these issue?
Dre Day all day
If we do need to trade Deron, then maybe we can get Rondo and other assets in a 3 team deal
Rondo
Brooks
Gallinari/Wallace/Chandler
Davis
Lopez
would be better then Dwill leaving and us getting nothing.
Boston will have tons of capspace next year.
If they trade Rondo+Bass+a couple 1sts to us they can get both Howard and Dwill.
Bass is a terrible fit on this team
And their firsts aren’t worth much.
Follow me on Twitter @R0nito
i was thinking this
dwill for teague + jsmith. downgrade at pg for us (debatable w/ dwill’s current play) but big upgrade in athleticism and defense at sg. front line of hump, smith, lopez would be pretty solid plus brooks and teague in the back. would be a strong interior team on o/d.

No way they give up Teague
He lit up Deron already. They can draft Teague’s brother on Kentucky.

The younger brother is ok
I’d rather draft a big with the top pick how else will they get one?
If they want a point guard Ashton Gibbs will be there later in the draft.

Skeptical of rookie point guards going pro
Look at John Wall for example.
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
yeah, but looking at the big picture it could work
Rondo/Farmar
Brooks/Morrow
Gallinari/James
Davis/Bass
Lopez/Okur
if not gallinari, then Wallace or Chandler.
sign him as a free agent.
we will have tons of capspace so we can give a big offer.
if Denver matches, then go after Wallace or Chandler.
Maybe we could even find a way to draft Gilchrist by using a combination of the Rockets pick and Bostons picks.
what about trying to
get a young pg like augustine??
i think him + brooks + brook
would b a good young talent to build around
instead of Rondo?
maybe teague from the ATL
maybe westbrook from OKC.
maybe Evans from SAC.
maybe Curry from GSW
my point is, if we know Dwill isn’t going to re-sign, get some value back.
Add that to a core of Brooks, Lopez, and our top 5 pick.
i like curry but i think gsw would trade ellis b4 curry, wouldn’t mind westbrook but could he co-exist with brook n brooks?
curry has played like 2 games this season
wstbrook is post off being on okc a contender you think he would be happy on the nets

dwill won't demand a trade even if he wants to be traded
His best bet is to hit free agency and be able to sighn with Dallas because if he requests a trade and he wants to go to Dallas there is no way BK will trade him their because all they have is senior citizens.
Orlando does not have any pieces either so they’re out of the question.
Then there is OKC but I don’t see Deron wanting to go there or Durant allowing Westbrook to be traded.
Actually best thing that could happen to Deron is that we trade for Howard or sighn him in FA because he gets his extra year and a chance to win. So either way not getting traded is his best bet.
Having said this it doesn’t make any sence for him to not give his best effort because there is a possibility of him staying here and he can’t afford to turn people off.
He is just struggling and i expect him to change his tune in the coming games.
u could see him in a dallas jersey...then again..i could see him in a sixers jersey or even memphis
speculations are worthless….i wouldn’t waste my time worrying
officiating is rigged, but.....
stern is rigging it in the Nets favor to facilitate a trade by increasing the value of our pick. stern wants howard in a big market just as much as d12 wants to be. more jersey sales, more merch, more money. stern, dwill, d12, bk all know they will be in bkln. stern directs refs to rig games to ensure nets pick has high value to facilitate trade at the deadline. might even be something magic ownership has worked out w/stern; “secure us a good pick and we’ll make the trade go thru”. as we saw w/cp3, league can control where players go and league wants d12 in bkln but needs to play ball w/magic ownership. this is my working hypothesis.

don’t forget the other side of NO deal: LA (big market) gets another super team. super teams in big markets = more viewership = more money. stern is beholden to his big market owners because they gots the $$$

but he’s getting frustraded at himself constantly throughout the game and that’s not helping him or the team.
I actually think this team can win if lets the game come to him instead of trying to carry the team, but right now he just looks uncomfortable out there and it’s mostly because this team is terrible.
At times it looks like he’s saying what’s the point with this team that can’t win anyway subconsciously and focusing on dwight.
Point is he’s capable of playing better even with this awful team and I think he will eventually hopefully sooner rather than later.

So, I need to start thinking positive thoughts again. Because win or lose, players don’t care about records. Dwight knows if he comes here, the Nets would be undefeated.
I’ll start with this thought: there’s going to be another super team, and it’ll be Brooklyn’s finest.

the dude is a piss poor leader, he has a bad attitude, and clearly cannot assert himself unless surrounded by guys like the Jazz had when they were in the playoffs.

I’m saying, the team is bad, but if Deron were playing at the top of his game he’d make people around him better
when kidd had buford, padgett, etc in 2004 it was bad but he still played at a higher level than Williams is now. Granted, he had VC, but still, Kidd’s level of play never dropped off prior to the trade.

unless we have Deron. Every team first needs to get a star, and then other ones will come.
Knicks got Amare, then got Melo. They could’ve got CP3, too.
Heat had Wade…he recruited Bosh and LeBron.
We have Deron, and that’s the primary reason Dwight wants to come here.
Follow me on Twitter @R0nito
he wanted to go there
the point is, you need one star to get another. You guys really think Dwight would want to come here if his supporting cast would be worse than what we have right now?
we’d have to gut the whole team just to trade him and he wouldn’t sign long-term. at least dwight wants to sign long-term here…when was the last time a top 3 NBA player asked for a trade to the nets

i think brooks was taken with the mavericks first round pick
and cantor would have been with our first round
it was the celtics'
we had the 27th pick and asked the celtics to take brooks for us and we’d take who they want. for whatever reason, they agreed.
(that’s what Doc Rivers said, at least).

when we traded kidd to dallas, they gave us there first round pick in 2011 which was the 27th pick
and we would have had our own the 3rd pick
we had 2 first round picks
that was jordan crawford which was traded for damion james

Boston picked Marshon with the 25th pick, we picked JaJuan Johnson with the 27th pick and then we swapped. That 27th pick had nothing to do with the 2011 lottery pick we traded to Utah or the 2012 lottery pick (via GSW) we traded them. So yes, we could’ve had Marshon, Favors + a 2011 lottery pick (which didn’t necessarily have to be Kanter) and TWO lottery picks this year (probably both in the top 10).

I want to see us play with Brook before I go too crazy with these loses.
Hump was getting 18 and 18 while playing with Brook and last year. Hump was able to get better looks when the focus was on defending Brook inside. We will be much improved when Brook gets back healthy. Especially, with Marshon’s creativity and all these three point specialists on the team.
LETS GO NETS!
We may not get many more chances to see Brook in a Nets uniform
If all goes according to plan at least
The loss of Brook
has been just as devastating as I thought it would be.
Adding Okur hasn’t softened the blow one bit.
We’ll have to endure 4 more weeks of this before we can think about winning again.

I don't know why u guys are so mad
Offence is getting better and better.
Now Nets can focus on defence.
Do you guys think Nuggets is so bad team, so we can beat these guys?
In this month, if we get 5 wins, it’s success. :|
We have to expect to get loses now.
But team is getting better in my sight. Wait guys.

4 - K. Humphries / S. Williams / J. Williams / D. Horner
5 - M. Okur / J. Petro / B. Lopez
I agree with you but this team is getting worse on defence by the game
they were actually playing interior defence before and I saw the effort, but today they looked like they wanted to play overseas on a crappy defensive team.
Our defence is just bad
It is not getting worse and worse. They were bad and are still bad.
In other side, opposite teams are not well at the beginning of the season.
But our worse problem was offence, so Nets should focus on offence right now.
We can’t play well on the defence. Our guys met less than a week before the season starts.
It’s really really short time to make a teamwork.
Now we can focus on d.

Look this guy is not bad but I prefer shelden Williams defensively. Humphries don’t do much but steal teammates rebound. He gets no blocks everytime nets face a team he always get shitted on by the opponent he guarding. Ok sure shelden offense is suicidal to watch but Atleast he backs it up with defense. When he started because of Humphries injury he had like 13 rebounds and like 4 blocks Humphries should come off the bench but should put shelden back when We struggling on defense.

It is noticeable that Hump has slipped defensively this year. He has been completely lost on the rotations at times on the defensive end. I do not remember this happening to him this often last year. It could be the fact that Brook isn’t on the floor now so he is a bit more exposed on that end. I don’t know.
exactly we harped Brook because he was the biggest enforcer
but all-in-all its a collection of lack of defensive talent

PF: Anthony Davis/ Kris Humphries/ S. Williams/ Jordan Williams
C: Brook Lopez/ Mehmet Okur/ Draft prospect?
I think that’s a fairly conservative expectation as to what we can reasonably expect to see in Brooklyn under those circumstances. IMO This team would compete at a very high level. I see them as a 5th seed out the gate. Give them time to develop chemistry and they’ll leapfrog the Knicks, Boston will be rebuilding at this point, and it comes down to us or The Bulls for the #2 seed most years. Comments? Critiques?

Просто когда я узнал о травме Лопеса я сразу же понял что мы будем проигрывать. Дерон играет нормально, да он совершает много потерь и в прошлых матчах плохо бросал, но нужно смотреть на это с другой стороны. У нас на главных позициях SF и С нет игроков. Посмотри когда мы имеем на площадке Хамфа у нас все нормально. У него +33 полезность в сезоне, а следующий Джеймс имеет -28. Петро и Окур на двоих набирают 10 очков и 9 подборов + 2 потери. Я понимаю будь они хороши в защите, но там они вообще не помогают. Вы видели что у нас твориться в краске?

If CP3/Rondo/Westbrook was on this Lopez-less team and DWill was with Blake and company or Durant and company or KG/Pierce/Allen
Who would have the better numbers and wins do you think?
DWill’s been mediocre for a good part so far, he needs to step it up, but you really can’t set aside the current situation of Lopez out and all the other injuries with this already mediocre team.
With Lopez
We are a .500 team. Still not great, but we would at least be winning games. I know it’s tough but we have to understand that our starting Center is out. A starting Center that scores 20 PPG. That makes a HUGE difference. Lets keep our heads up and look forward to FEB. when Brook gets back.
Also the Deron haters…. I’m pretty sure the Nets read this website. I personally don’t appreciate all the haters bashing him for his bad play. The man has no team around him, i would be frustrated too. You can be mad about his body language and the turn overs all you want….

Deron Williams = Stephon Marbury
Steph was a superstar when we traded for him… Great scorer, plenty of assists. It was BIG news, every Nets fan was excited back then.
Then we found out that a superstar doesn’t mean jack when the guy doesn’t lead.
And we traded him for Kidd.
Maybe we can trade Deron for a leader like Kidd this time around too.
In fact...
…Stephon was traded from the Wolves because he had disagreements with the coach about the way the offense was run and demanded a trade.
…Deron’s disagreements with Sloan about the way the offense was run in Utah contributed to Sloan’s retirement and his own trade to the Nets.
I mean, its not exactly identical in circumstances but the parallels are there.
If Shaquille O Neal had a pact with Marbury
And demanded a trade to the Nets, I’d say getting Marbury was the best move the Nets could’ve made.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Starbury was one of the best scorers in his days...
…and was actually able to carry the offense in scoring, unlike DWill.
He was a cancer and wasn’t helping us in wins, and made the same complaints as DWill about how his teammates are crap. But on a bad team, Marbury was the better player.
He was a cancer
end of story.

Speaking Objectively
It’s not yet known whether or not the same could be given the same label. He’s not exactly a locker room leader.
Exactly...
…DWill has been hurting as with his poor shooting, league-leading #s of turnovers, bad body language, lack of leadership, etc. His negative attitude feeds into the whole atmosphere of the team, and his bad temper doesn’t help.
Granted, he hasn’t thrown all of his teammates under the bus like Marbury has thus far, but he’s a malign tumor waiting to explode.

Watching the game last night...
It looked like the two teams met up before the game, agreed that NO ONE would play defense so long as the nuggets won the game
Deshawn
What’s up with Stevenson? I know he’s out with an injury, but what’s the status? Haven’t seen much on this.
I keep forgetting Brook Lopez isnt playing
No one here should ever doubt Brook’s value to this team. He is our max player and the Nets offering him anything less than the max would be an insult. Brook has not had a good team around him since being drafted and the criticism of him may be warranted but his value is beyond his shortcomings. You can’t find 10 centers in the league that mean more to their team than Brook. Deron BK and AJ should be kissing his rear end to make him happy. Enough coddling Dwill. PGs are dime a dozen right now. There 10 pgs playing better than Dwill right now. I like the guy but he hasn’t shown he’s the best pg in the L and he hasn’t shown any leadership thus far.

the losses have screwed with our brains and now we want to screw ourselves some more and also forget about Dwight. That’d be perfect.

We just have to hold on another two months, hope Lopez comes back by then, and then see what happens. By March 15th or sooner, we should have a better idea of where we’re at… and where we’re going…

Excuse that I write in Russian. Who can translate, please. I want that you have understood my words.
Вы ведете себя как последние нытики. Дерону нужна ваша поддержка, а вместо этого вы поливаете его грязью. Поставь на его место любого другого разыгрывающего (Пол, Рондо, Уэстбрук, Харрис) и не чего бы не поменялось. Вы посмотрите на наш состав, из Больших парней у нас только Хамфрис (Который сильно ограничен в атаке) все остальные это игроки глубокого запаса. Маленького форварда играл Морроу который также кроме трех очковых больше не чего не может. У этого состава нет возможности играть в защите. Брукс, Морроу, Петро на площадке о какой защите может идти речь? У нас явно не хватает игроков старта. Сколько раз в этом сезоне вы видели Alley-oop в нашем исполнении? Сколько видели Pick-n-roll, а для хорошего разыгрывающего без этого не куда, Дерону не кого заигрывать? Мы играем в Европейский баскетбол. Я очень сильно жду возвращения Лопеса.

You behave like the past whiners. Deron needs your support, but instead you are watering it with dirt. Put in its place any other point guard (Paul, Rondo, Westbrook, Harris), and which would not have changed. You look at our part of the big guys, we just Humphreys (Which is very limited in the attack), all other players is a deep reserve. Small forward who also played Morrow but three glasses is no longer what can not. This composition is not possible to play defense. Brooks, Morrow, Petro at the site of what protection is all about? We obviously do not have the players start. How many times have you seen this season, Alley-oop in our performance? How many saw the Pick-n-roll, and for a good point guard without it no where, no one Deron flirt? We play in European basketball. I very much look forward to return Lopez.

Deron Williams behaves like a petulant child
keep telling me that he sees “the bigger picture”, I might believe you one day.
well I’m good with whatever happens. We either get Dwight and he stops acting like he’s 6 years old when he’s at these games, or we fail and he leaves. whatever. We’re a joke and he isn’t helping. Acting like this while he is apart of the problem does not score him any points, it makes him look like a ho.
Kidd may be a wife beating philanderer, but at least he wasn’t carrying on like this in public.
Like yeah you say nice things and then what happens? he gets kicked out of a game. Nets kiss this dude’s behind like lap dogs and he embarrasses the franchise. It looks BAD when he goes out there with the awful body language. It says “I don’t want to be here”. People see that and believe what they see. This is why you have stories nonstop about him going to Dallas, he FUELS the stuff!! The fact that he had to be TOLD about this stuff speaks volumes to me.
Instead of acting like a wuss, Deron Williams needs to suck it up. This is what he wanted in order to get Dwight. Get in there and gut it out. Shooting 35% from the field and looking every night like you have the worst existence on this planet is part of the reason why this Nets team is not fit to be broadcast on TV. No one wants to see him brick shots, turn the ball over, and then act like a PISSING CRYING BRATTY LITTLE BABY.
Lordy, I wish I was paid 17 million dollars or whatever to show up to work with a horrific attitude, surly disposition, and perform in an utterly sub par standard.
It is sad that a rookie has shown more grit, maturity, and determination over the course of this short season so far than this dude. We heard about how mature he was and all of that but I have yet to see it. Just someone with a serious sense of entitlement huffing and puffing because things aren’t going his way yet.
If he and Dwight are in cahoots, he should just play hard, if we lose screw it, he knows that better days are ahead. His attitude makes me suspicious of how SURE he is that this will happen. I’d probably feel more comfortable with him being nonchalant because at least that would say to me “eh…better days ahead” instead of “omg get me the hell out of here!”.
Get mad if you all want, but it needs to be said. He’s played like garbage for the most part(his assists have been picking up, i will say that) so really I find his actions to be out of line. If he was playing like christ in a cape and was sulking he would find a sympathizer with me, but he’s not.

unfortunately thats not his character
he is so used to playing with a winning team that when he has to play with the Nets with any reliable source of offense (besides brooks and sometimes morrow) he gets frustrated and we get blown out, its not like the Jazz where he had people to dish the ball too and score, i really haven’t been paying attention to his"body language" i just watch what he does on offense and defense and not in transition because i am watching the other guys. To me personally, i would be upset too if i were him and its hard not to show it when your teammates miss open 3s, your big men suck and you have to score the majority of the points on your team which you aren’t used to. ALSO, when you are on a team that can’t play freaking defense and doesn’t know how to rotate so we have guys like corey brewer lighting us up and everytime a guy comes in the paint Petrawful or Okur must foul them, its annoying, so maybe he should play “harder” but he isn’t used to being on a one man team, and you can bet behind closed doors and at practices he chews them out and lets them know that if he is going to be a leader, they are going to have to give him something to lead

“body language” is how a player just moves himself on the floor or presents himself, like how Deron might walk back on defense, or complain to the refs, or just act like he doesn’t wanna play (bad passes, blown assignments, laziness) but i don’t see this from him, maybe im blind? i guess

is it really too much to ask for him to get back on D and not act like this is the last place he wants to be? Really? he’s a professional basketball player for chrissake
It was always a problem with Deron. Even Jazz fans warned us that he gets whiny.
What do we take from all this…Dwill cant take the pressure of being the man. He’s not a Durant, Rose, or a Lebron type that will put everything on their shoulders. Dwill lacks the attitude, leadership and possibly the talent.
Vince Carter turned this franchise around when things were ugly. Kidd obviously did it as well.
Dwill was always surrounded by talent in Utah.
"Beware the Ides of March."
I agree with everything you say.
I took a look at the heat clipper game and watched some CP3.
Granted you cant compare this Nets team with the clipper team but one thing jumps out at me.
CP3 as good offensively he is, he isnt coming off screens and playing SG. Billups seems to be in that role. While watching the game, I didnt see CP3 not have the ball in his hand most of the possessions. CP3 orchestrated the plays and of course he passed the ball this his teammates. Yes I know most of you will say that Clippers starting lineup is better. I will not argue that, but clearly we have seen that the role players on the Nets have picked up their game of late. Not to where we would like it to be. Most of the NBA has been slow to get up to speed unless your team made little moves this off season.
My point is that whoever has decided to have Dwill play more off the ball needs to re-evaluted that. Dwill needs to keep the ball in his hands and break down the defense and either finish, get fouled or kick the ball out. What also needs to happen is players need to pick spots and stay there. IMO only two players should be driving the ball, Dwill and Swag. Everyone else pick spots depending on how the defense reacts and wait for the ball. IF AVERY is the one that decided to do this, did he not learn from TWILL?
Another thing is it me or are Farmar and Gaines not passing the ball to the Rookie. Yeah Farmar had a good game but at one point i thought Farmar was doing too much. You got the defense’s attention give the ball to someone else and now they have to decide to guard you or SWAG.
Another thing. I dont get the DWILL, MORROW, SWAG lineup. DWILL, SWAG, ShaWill makes mores sense to me. Morrow and Swag are just too small. Galo was too much for them early.
Tired of the excuse made for DWill
Deron keeps talking about “the big picture”. Enough of that BS. Just an excuse to dog it every night. The energy Farmar displayed in that fourth quarter was something we were used to with Kidd. And if you noticed when Farmar got the lead down to 8, then Avery put in DWill, you could almost sense the team on the floor got deflated all of a sudden. It was weird man. Like his own teammates are getting tired of his antics.
And enough of the bad attitude with the reporters. When he said that he has a bad temper and they have to get used to it. Guess what pal…get used the questions too.
And every time he tells a reporter he won’t answer questions about a certain subject and the local media leaves him alone…I’m so tired of this too. Lebron answered every single question thrown at him all year last season when he was heavily criticized from the Decision to what he wears in the morning. c’mon man.
That's who he is and always has been
That’s who he was in Utah and that’s who he’ll be here with or without Dwight.
His body language and leadership have been terrible thus far, and he comes across like a cranky child – but that’s who we traded for. It’s not like we got a shining glimmering sunbeam of a player.
He’s a big time star, but he needs other players. He could’ve HAD other players if he had asked Billy for it, but he wanted Dwight. Ok, so we’re going after Dwight.

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
This.
I don’t know how many times I’ve had to address the horrible roster comments from my roommates. The fact of the matter is that we’re not built to be marginally more competitive than we were last season (via expensive FA acquisitions). We have no chemistry due to the shortened preseason. On top of that, we’re injured. On top of THAT, half our roster knows that they could be playing for Orlando at a moment’s notice.
Our play is reflecting this, and Deron isn’t the Mr. Happy Go Lucky we want him to be through all of this. The upside is that he wants Dwight, and that’s what we’ve mortgaged our season on.

i have to disagree with you both
just cuz he gets away with being who he is doesn’t mean it’s right. Before Miami’s big 3, DWade lived through a couple bad seasons and still got that horrible roster they had to 25 to 30 wins. AND DWade brought it every night if he wasn’t injured.
Then there’s Lebron….we all saw how truly bad the Cleveland roster was he had to play with but he made that awful roster into a 60 win team!
No excuses man. DWill more VC then he is CP3. Simple.

I didn't say it was right, just tried to give it some context.
Obviously I would prefer him to be more of a leader.
Miami had one bad season with 15 wins in 2007-2008. It was the only sub-500 season they had in the last 8 seasons. But before that they had won their division the past three seasons, and won the finals in 2005-2006. Pretty different scenario.
