Game 13 - Nets @ Jazz - Saturday, January 14, 9:00 p.m.

Deron Williams' return to Utah promises to be an emotional evening. Williams, traded last February, has never uttered a bad word about his time in Salt Lake City, saying on his personal blog ("Road to Brooklyn") Saturday morning, "I have nothing but love for the community there, for the fans there."

And it will be emotional for a number of others on the court as well. Mehmet Okur played longer in Utah than Williams and he left only a month ago. He hopes he won't get booed. Sundiata Gaines, Kris Humphries and DeShawn Stevenson all got their NBA start there. On the other side of the court, Devin Harris and Derrick Favors will be looking to remind the Nets of what they can --and will-- do.

But beyond the emotions of the evening is the test of what is becoming the new run-and-gun Nets, a team built around Williams and, at least until Brook Lopez returns, the three point shot and running. Over the last three games, the Nets have averaged 110.3 points per game, hitting a league-leading 46 three pointers on 50.5% shooting from deep. The Nets will be short-handed at small forward with both Damion James and Shawne Williams out. Stevenson is available, but MarShon Brooks is likely to start again at the three.

true, also mentioned his ability to exploit angles

Like Kobe and Jordan.. i mean they didnt make a direct comparison but mentioned his ability to theirs… pretty cool.

by Nets! on Jan 14, 2012 7:38 AM EST up reply actions  

if he keeps playing like he has

ROY is his. Because Rubio (already hitting an offensive-efficiency wall) will regress some IMO. Rubio is great, im not hating, but I think he might have some 1-7 shooting or 8 turnover type games that will hurt his case. Also, advanced stats will be in Marshons favor (hopefully).

Irving might be his main competition at the end of the day… Especially if the Cavs can stay at .500 (i.e. make the playoffs). Wolves seem like they are playing better, and with purpose and energy, but will ultimately have a similar record to the Clippers last year.

by alexcontreras on Jan 14, 2012 8:21 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Rubio was part of 2009s draft class

And as someone recently mentioned (ford?), if Rubio wins ROY then he will be the third player from 2009s draft class to win ROY. Evans in 2009, Griffin in 2010, Rubio(?) in 2011

Rubio and Irving are in the running IMO

Irving is number one on his team, so he will have better overall numbers

at the end of the season

if the Wolves are way below .500 Rubio wont make ROY, especially if his efficiency declines.

I think Rubio is like Jennings— (not in playing style!) in the way that they electrified their teams early their rookie years but someone else ended up with ROY at the end of the day.

IMO, it will be between Irving and Brooks.

by Nets! on Jan 14, 2012 8:45 AM EST up reply actions  

55 more games to go

its hard to imagine Brooks winning its from now. Al ot can and usually does happen. Irving looks like the most likely candidate though. And Rubio got his first start last night, expect something like 12-10 for his season average.

Seems like Byron Scott is making a conscious effort to keep Irving under 30 minutes per night. They like Sessions quite a bit and play them in tandom. And Rubio is now a starter and the leash is off so he should be getting big minutes. (44 the other night I think).

Minutes advantage probably goes to Rubio.

Then Rubio has Love to work with , and D.Will to lob to for highlights. That makes them a fun team to watch in comparison to Cleveland. Jamison is no Love , and Casspi is no D.Will.

Rubio is fun to watch

And the love for him could sustain till the end regardless of the Wolves record…

Or, it could burn out like Jennings’ love did his rookie year. Either way, all three are somewhat in the discussion. Im bias towards the Nets rook obviously. Rubio might be the best player at the end of the day though.. and the Cavs might have the playoff card to get Irving votes… Youre probably gonna end up being right with picking Rubio, but I think its too early to say just yet.

by -Seiti- on Jan 14, 2012 7:42 AM EST up reply actions  

yea I think if two things happen we can keep Brooks

and maybe even Lopez.

1) if Dwight comes to the Nets via free agency

or

2) if Bynum has his yearly injury around the same time Magic is trying to make a trade. It would deflate their leverage and asking price.

Also, even if Bynum is healthy and the Lakers are in discussions for Dwight, we could still viably keep Brooks and still have the better package. Especially depending on 3+ team trades. Brooks I think just guarantees that we have the best trade package. Kid is serious.

by Nets! on Jan 14, 2012 7:52 AM EST up reply actions  

Lopez and Brooks are two of the most offensively gifted players in the NBA

at their positions. And I cant wrap my head around Brooks ceiling yet either. Lopez either for that matter. I really think his best years are yet to come. Cant wait for him to get back healthy and play outstanding ball. I really hope we get Dwight Howard in free agency.

by Nets! on Jan 14, 2012 7:57 AM EST up reply actions  

this is why having another young player like Mayo can help us keep Brooks

Orlando wants more than Lopez, so they’ll want Brooks but if we can get Mayo, turn him back into a promising young player alongside DWill, then maybe we could send him instead of Brooks.

Probably not, I’d be surprised if he’s even making an effort to stay in shape if he does get the call. Kind of an Iverson situation where he’s too old to really help a young team without taking away minutes from a developing player and not worth the hassle and just not good enough for a good team.

Representatives for Nicolas Batum, met with Blazers’ management in San Antonio on Friday.

A source close to the negotiations said the Blazers made a "low-ball offer" to Nicolas Batum and that sides are "very far apart" and “no progress was made.”

Bouna Ndiaye, Batum’s agent, said that the sides would meet Friday for their second negotiation session and would be back at it for their third session after the Blazers’ 6-game road trip.

However, the same source has said things have changed and that Batum’s camp will not request another meeting if the Blazers don’t move up from their number by Jan. 23.

Great quote from Deron's blog.

Haven’t had a leader on this team since Kidd. Wonder how differently things would have gone with TWill if Deron was there when he was a rook. Maybe not though. TWill is a bonehead.

He and I are developing some good chemistry when we’re out there together. But we haven’t had any practice, so it’s all kind of been on the fly. It’ll come with time. I’m always talking to him and he’s a willing listener. He wants to get better, you can tell that. So I’m always giving him little pointers here and there.

The Stevenson interview~!!!!!

That is a must read! Gives you some insight into whats going on behind the scenes. He knows Dwight is coming and sees the BK blueprint. He just won a ring but is sold on BK. He also LOVES Marshon.

"I see the big picture. Hopefully we get Dwight here. D-Will can stay here," he said. "I think if we get a couple pieces here, we’ll be good. I think Avery sees the big picture, I think everybody sees the big picture. We just have to get over this hump where we’re at right now. …All that’s a big if, but if we do get good pieces, I’ll think we’ll be a good team."

"I’ve made a chunk of change. I’ve done a lot of things. Me, right now, I’ve never said it, but being a veteran right now, I just see the big picture. …It took me being on certain teams and being around other veteran players for me to come like that," he said. "What motivates me is a guy like D-Will. D-Will wants to win."

"When I signed, no (I didn’t see myself wanting to re-sign). But after playing on the team and being with D-Will and playing with the guys, I would like to come back and kind of be like a veteran leader. I’ve won a championship, and I can do different things now like help MarShon."

Wow. Dude is a leader.
Stevenson can often be spotted dropping knowledge on Brooks in the locker room or in games, explaining the ins and outs of the league, detailing ways to handle different defenses. It wasn’t like that for him as rookie in Utah, where he played alongside an aging Karl Malone, John Stockton, Byron Russell and John Starks.

"When I came in the league, people didn’t tell me stuff because I was fighting for their position," Stevenson said. "When I look at MarShon, we play the same position, but I look at it like, I’ve made my money, I’m probably going to be in the league for three more years, and he has a lifetime. So why not tell him about the game and what he needs to know.

"Most veteran guys wouldn’t do that, but I don’t look at it like that. I don’t look at it like (Damion James) is trying to get my spot, or MarShon – I look at it like I’m trying to help people out and get to the next level."

Neither Okur nor Johnson believes Williams’ situation has been a distraction.

"Hopefully," Okur said, "he stays here and I’ll be able to play with him a long time. We’ll see what happens this summer."

Said Johnson: "No, no, not at all. We want him to opt out. It’s the best thing for him and his family.

"He’ll get more money that way. Just opt out and, hopefully, re-sign with us the minute after July 1. Don’t go on any recruiting trips."

On the defensive end ABSOLUTELY

Both are below average defenders. But i think they both have above average offensive games. Okur’s 3 point ability stretches the floor and changes the aspect of the game for us. Brook’s inside offensive ability as well. I can definitely see how their lack of defense can be viewed as a liability but outscoring the other team gets you the win. This is a debatable topic.

I don't see them being a different team

If they make moves for Dwight. They already have a dominating Front court with Bynum and Gasol. What they need is better wings to play with Kobe. Meta World Peace is garbage. Also they need a PG.

I see them making moves for a PG before anything else.

i agree

kobe/dwight move is better long term

kobe/pau/drew with a better core is championship team now.

I can see them taking themselves out of the Dwightmsre

But trading Gasol for a couple more pieces they think they can win a chip… Namely a defensive PG.

What is it that Houston was offering for Pau? I’m sure the situation has changed since the plan was to pair up Pau with Nene, but if I’m the Lakers I’d explore that Martin and Scola deal the Rockets were looking at.

Pau trades are hard to make...

maybe Pau for Josh Smith? Atlanta would do it in a second… not sure about the Lakers

Pau for Igoudala and Thad Young? Philly MIGHT do that. Same with Lakers… Kobe has always wanted to play alongside Igoudala and Thad Young could be a very good replacement for Odom?

Pau for David West, Paul George? Doesn’t make lakers better this year.

Pau for Bosh? Doubt contenders wanna do business with another. Might actually be a good deal for both teams though.

Pau for Biendrins and Ellis? Warriors probably wouldn’t do this with Stephons injuries.. Lakers probably wouldn’t do this either… But Biendrins isn’t a scrub by any means. And Ellis would be good next to Kobe.

Pau for Al Jeff and Paul Millsap? Id do that in a second if I were the Lakers.. Utah would probably only give up one of them, and give a young player perhaps too? Or Devin Harris?

Pau for Amare? eh…

Pau for Nene and Affalo? Both are playing poorly after signing huge deals.. so I doubt the Lakers would do this, but the Nuggs might. Pau would fit their uptempo offense well.

so you're hoping Odom's leg is right under his foot after he lands from a rebound?

or Kobe gets decked and flails right into the back of his leg?

two events that are basically uncontrollable in the nature of the game? I guess we havent learned our lesson yet:

Brook Lopez: foot surgery
Damion James: re-aggravated foot injury
Stevenson: knee injury
Okur: back spasms
Shawne: Flu and leg fracture
D-will: Rib Injury and near horrible ankle sprain
Horner: strained whatever

so now i’m just waiting for Morrow to tear a hamstring or Marshon to fracture his hand. Or maybe Shelden will get decked and hump, in the process of collecting his 21st rebound will come right down on sheldens leg

The NFL is bad because they made all of these rule changes and the refs don’t know how to interpret them, or they throw a flag immediatly after a violent hit regardless if the player was taken down cleanly or not.

The NBA is the worst because they officiate the games based on a player’s stature. IMO, that makes most of the stuff out there on the court fraudulent.

MarShon Brooks scored 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds, one assist, three steals, and one block in 35 minutes on Friday.
Brooks will not face any threats to his playing time, barring the occasional extra rest or teaching moment from Avery Johnson. In the vast majority of situations, Johnson is going to ride Brooks because Brooks gives him his only chance to win. The Nets know what they’ll get from Deron Williams every night scoring the ball, and Brooks is the only other constant. Jan. 14 – 2:31 am et

I never mess with them fantasy geeks...
Sell High:

Ryan Anderson, PF, Magic
Anderson has taken a huge leap in production from 10.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 2010 to 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds this season. He could definitely continue to play at a high level, but if Dwight Howard is traded that would dramatically change the way teams defend Anderson on the perimeter. Anderson has been a great addition off the waiver wire in many leagues, but now is the time to shop him around.


Andrew Bynum, C, Lakers
We always knew Bynum was capable of outstanding production if he could stay healthy, and this year he is averaging 18.8 points and 15.7 rebounds, which is four points and five rebounds better than his previous career highs. But the key with Bynum is health, as he has missed at least 17 games each of the past four seasons. Hopefully he can stay healthy all year, but if the right offer presents itself then you should take it to be safe.

the offense as a whole has too much reliance on kobe imo

Drew had 15-11
Pau had 19-10

yet they can’t close games out. when kobe is on the floor (even if he misses shots, he gets his teammates in favorable situations because he’s a defenses #1 target)

so pau/drew have 1 0n 1 situations for easy layin or dunks

Important to note from Deron's blog:
As for me, I know I’m not playing very well right now. I’m not shooting well, I’m turning the ball over and I just don’t have any rhythm. For whatever reason, I haven’t gotten comfortable yet. I feel like every shot I’ve taken this season, I’ve had to work hard just to get it off. I’m just trying to get going, some way, somehow.

I’d say it’s definitely wearing on me, both mentally and physically. I’m not a person that takes losing well, nor do I take playing poorly well. I lose sleep over it. But I’m doing my best to work through it. This is a situation I’ve never been in. I’ve never been on a losing team. Every time I laced up, I felt like, no matter who the opponent was, we could win the game. I don’t like doubting myself, or my team, so I’m trying to find ways to get through that.

For those that are remarking on William’s body language: remember, he’s a competitor; he’s always been used to winning and this is new ground for him. He’s trying to refine how he reacts to it, but he’s an emotional guy — give him some time.

that's very good to read

him and dwight if surrounded with good role players could win championships. no denying that.

if we're still bad by this time next season?

he won’t be here. I’m happy that he went off last night but if we don’t bring in Howard, he’s not staying.

by MrDollarBills on Jan 14, 2012 12:08 PM EST up reply actions  

that's cool

but remember, he’s not sitting through a rebuild, he said that when he first got here and I don’t believe that stance has changed. He’s not going to waste the prime of his career waiting for MarShon and whoever our 2012 1st rder would be if we don’t trade them for Dwight to develop.

by MrDollarBills on Jan 14, 2012 12:11 PM EST up reply actions  

if we dont get dwight meaning he extends in orlando or goes to the lakers

I have a feeling in order to appease d-will that bk sends draft picks and whatever else we have to bring in another star type player here to entice d-will, not saying it will be someone on par with dwight but it will be someone to make d-will think twice, hes not gonna stand pat and use our picks in the draft if he knows that a rebuilding process wont keep d-will here.

yeah

but going through the list, I don’t see anything that screams “stay with us and lose instead of going to play with Dirk”

Depends of our W/L record. If we are in a goodp ositio to get one of the top 2 picks, BK would be crazy to deal it.

I like AD

don’t think that’ll keep D-Will. I wouldn’t be mad if you told me that we’ll lose deron, but we’ll have a Lopez/Brooks/Davis core to build with.

Like Chad FOrd said: AD is a Rose/Griffin type of talent. You can’t deny that the kid s amazing.
If we don’t get the number one pick,Kidd-Gilchrist is very very young (septeber 1993), has a ton of upside+ is a winner. Would take him over Sullinger or Barnes.

Davis is an amazing shot blocker (5/game) imagin him next to Brook. The perfect complement to his game.

by valdu08 on Jan 14, 2012 12:15 PM EST up reply actions  

That's why I wouldn't get choked up

if we land the #1 pick and deron hauls to where the grass is greener. I’ll take Brook, AD, Brooks, and whatever else King can put together.

I also shake my head...

when I read comments like these.

Wasn’t that exactly what people said about Dirk before last season?
Just because you don’t win a title your whole carrer doesn’t make you a loser. K.G had to team up with Ray and Pierce to get his, Kidd only made it as a role player on a veteran Mavs team.

Even Kobe only got his rings with Shaq and Paul.

Before Dirk won, yeah he was soft but he carried his team to two trips to the Finals.

I just dont understand the VC LOVE.

Carter and KG in the same sentence.

That's a debate you don't want to have with me, honestly

and Brooks would be lucky to finish his career with Carters numbers, yet alone lead a franchise. Its not as easy as it seems, just ask the Raptors since he’s left. Hell, even ask the 12-70 Nets.
