Bondy: MarShon Brooks Fumes at Nets' Lack of Energy in Jazz Loss.
by Net Income on Jan 16, 2012 12:02 PM EST
Email
PrintIn a series of tweets late Monday morning, Stefan Bondy writes about how angry MarShon Brooks was following the Jazz game Saturday night.
"After the ugly Utah loss: MarShon Brooks sat in front of his locker and didn’t move. His teammates had already left for the bus, but Brooks was in full uniform, fuming.
"He told me, 'They’re not that good. ... We made them look a lot better than what they are. If we don’t come out and play with energy ... We’re not a good enough team to come out and play 60 percent. We’re not going to win games like that..
"Finally, he said, 'I'm not going to let myself get used to this.'

This kid has the right attitude
I’m tired of moral victories, people making excuses, or just checking out. Marshon is my favorite Net right now hands down.

yes
I actually find myself wanting to see him more..wanting to see the ball in his hands..

It was a terrible team display…I couldn’t watch the second half.
Brooks has every reason to be angry.
"Beware the Ides of March."
I think Deron has mentally checked out.
Has Deron even called a players meeting? Deron shows an alarming lack of leadership. He whines and tweets about being frustrated at the losing, but it is evident the team has a leadership vacuum.

If he did mentally checked out
Then we are better off if he is out of this team. Send him to a team that could give us a promising young PG or forward plus pick(s).

Dude, its not a lack of talent
Its all a lack of effort. I don’t know what’s wrong but Avery’s not fixing it. At what point is this team going to realize who their best scorer is? Deron should be getting his team good looks and setting the temp( which he kinda does :/ ) and get the ball to Brooks.
Losing is one thing but losing when you shouldn’t it sad. You guy see win loss and say our players suck and we’re bad but we have good players , their just playing against each other right now.
I don’t want to continue ranting but k want to see better effort, we all do . If we expected the team to be this bad then we wouldn’t have a problem with the losses. I’m sure most of you think we should have a better record so what wrong?
by Zartan on Jan 16, 2012 12:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
It's both but its more a lack of talent at the moment
We don’t even have a SF on the roster right now. Our best scorer is injured this team was built to be around Lopez. As much as we ragged on Lopez defensively he was a big dude who could block shots by accident, and we saw in the preseason he was ready to go. We have a lot of plodders at the moment with morrow okur etc. Even with the extra effort 3-4 wins is basically where this team should be. Utah just beat Denver last night and Denver beat Miami about a game before were not competing with that yet.

nah in this season with this truncated schedule
they should not be this bad. there have been all types of “head-scratching” wins and the nets should have more to their credit
we have seen multiple times where they go down and then erase a 15-25 point deficit in a quarter. why not play hard from the start and keep the game close the entire way?
they arent even trying to play defense. whether the schemes work or not, they arent even trying and it only takes one person to make everyone on defense look bad unless you have Dwight or Duncan or Yao or KG in their respective primes on the floor with you.
other teams that i see in this much disarray either have a new coach and new system or have a coach that has ran his course or players that are toxic together. Which one are the nets?

This team isn't good to play
50, 60 80 and even 90%. For them to have a chance to win a game it MUST be 101% every night! They should have 0 energy left after the game to celebrate victory.
Finally
I haven’t felt this good rooting for a player since Kenyon left. Looks like I finally have a favorite Net on the team.

Honestly I'm ready to rebuild the right way.
No more short cuts. If this last effort ditch for DH12 falls through lets go the OKC route Nd stop looking for the easy give up the farm and season for a superstar Approach. We have some promising players in brook brooks morrow and James. Got a long list of draft picks and a great trade asset in deron. We can really start to build something speciAl if the acquiring Dwight doesn’t work out. Change this teams image into a loyal franchise full of young athletic hard nosed team. Ala OKC of east. Maybe we find out durant in this years draft.
The problem is
We were on the right path, before we decided to speed up “the birth of a child”. We had young team featuring Lopez, Favors, Morrow, James, #3 pick. We needed to trade Deving for young PG (Teague – he wasn’t that good a year ago) and with all those picks we’d be 2-3 years away form contending.
Now, it’s all on Dwight. And I don’t even want to think if we miss on him…

maybe because he sees how DWill gives up
Its tough to see people who are supposed to lead not bring it like they should. Players make millions of dollars to play a game but still need to be pushed and motivated to perform at a high level every night. Personally I’m not shooting 3-15 when I go back to play to team that traded me. VC always had a good game in Toronto after being traded. If Deron can’t bring it and will his team to win on that night when will he?

Who doesn’t want to play here? Who has turned us down and said “no thanks, I don’t want to be a part of this team”.
Nobody. Butler wanted to get a contract quickly and not wait for the Nets. Nene got the word the Nets were getting Dwight (even though it eventually caved).

Saying all the right things
and I think he’s thinking all the right things too judging by his demeanor on court. But then anything from the media should be taken with a grain of salt… why release this now? What he said is absolutely right but how is that comment coming from a rookie received by other teammates? I’m not saying he was wrong to say that but you aint gotta be wrong to be hated.
Nonetheless, I hope we do keep this kid and his attitude catches on. Some kids become a pro to get paid, play with better players, whatever floats their boat, but this kids sounds like he became pro to be… well, PRO. That is how a professional should carry oneself.

Raja Bell had a little to do with that too
A rookie is just not going come in and shoot up a guy that has given Kobe fits.
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
I think the play of Marshon Brooks is going to help make Billy King’s job much easier when trying to persuade DWill to stay….I think a trio of DWill, Brooks and Lopez could be a very good team and something you can easily build around. Add to that a stud SF from this year’s draft and this is an exciting team to watch – and a top 6 seed in the East next year.
Brooks seems to have the mentality and game of a 20ppg SG in the NBA.
I keep forgetting about Lopez...

http://hoopshype.com/salaries/dallas.htm
even if they amnesty Heywood or Marion or move them they still dont have cap space to sign both. There’s only one way to do it, both D Will and D12 have to take paycuts. Knowing D Will i doubt it

but D Will D12 and Dirk will go over the cap with their contracts, who else going to play on that team beside them?

i’ll be impressed if Cuban will find a way to sign them both especialy weith this new CBA and like i said before both D Will and D12 still have to take a paycutt will they do it i dont know.

I'm pretty confident that they can't find money to sign all of those guys
1.Salary cap
2. Dirk makes like 20 plus
3. If Dwight was willing to take a pay-cut He would sign with the Nets (his 1st choice)
4.if Dwight goes to free agency there is no reason for Deron to leave
So basically .02% chance of that happening
What does everyone really expect
I agree, there needs to be more of a consistent effort, but look at the Nets schedule and the fact that they have lost Brook, and many others have missed games due to inuries.
Losses to Atl 3 times, Orlando, Miami, Indiana, Boston, Denver, Utah, Cleveland…
Cleveland is the team they should have beaten. Utah was a winnable game, but the rest? Boston’s record is misleading, but playing all those teams when your team is filled injuries up and down the roster, and thrown into a brutal schedule to start the season, did anyone expect this team to actually win??
Again, a better effort would make it manageable to watch, but even with that, this team would probably only have maybe 1 or 2 more wins if that. To expect more is just being delusional

we’re losing to teams we should be losing to, teams definitely better than us, so no one should be jumping off any bridges after games.
but truth is sometimes the effort really is that poor, and Saturday’s game was one of them

It's about coming ready to play every night.
If you play hard and consistently every night, you’ll win more than you lose in any professional sport, including the NBA. A team with Michael Jordan, Labron or Kobe can win 65 games in a season; a team which plays consistently hard, but has less talent, can win more than it loses in a season.
can't say they'll win more than they lose
playing hard and consistent only gets you so far. Still need talent to go along with that consistency.
by domininaldo1981 on Jan 16, 2012 1:26 PM EST up reply actions
All these guys are talented.
Every player in the NBA has talent, admittedly they’re not all Labron or Kobe, but they all have talent nonetheless. The biggest variable in winning is consistency. Superstars are ultra-consistent, bench players less so.
Teams which play consistently hard, will win more than they lose because they’ll usually beat inconsistent teams like the Nets, Kings, Raptors, etc.
One Play Tells All!!
There was one play in the 2nd half that told all anyone need to know about the Nets’ effort against the Jazz: Jazz on offense and a jumpshot is taken from about 18 feet. Al Jefferson is under the basket, surrounded by 3 Nets’ players, none of whom puts a body on him to block him out. When the shot clangs off the rim, Jefferson is the ONLY one of the 4 players under the basket to jump for the rebound. Of course, he puts back the rebound for 2 easy points – a total lack of effort on their parts, which cannot be explained by fatigue.
The 3 Nets didn’t try to box him out, didn’t jump for the rebound and didn’t foul him to prevent the easy 2-point basket -a total lack of effort, which cannot be explained by fatigue. Even when you’re tired, you can make a half-hearted effort to lean on a guy to prevent him from jumping for a rebound, if the will is there.
Now let's see him do something about it like
Score 35+ or else it’s just like alot of other rookies that come into the league and not used to losing….

It will be worse if he continues to turn the baall over and play like crap. The Nets gave up a lot for him and catered to his every request. The true test of a leader is what they do when the chips are down. Are you gonna show up or are you the first one off the titanic?
Watching this Magic game
you see the importance of having guys that can hit the three point shot. D12 draws some much attention down in the low post, therefore its really vital to have perimeter shooters. Maybe it would be smart to keep Ammo.

Looks pretty dead but Mayo
would be nearly as good of a shooter and far better overall player. Besides, avg sharp shooter aren’t THAT hard to find.

He visited the Barclay’s Center unofficially last summer and tweeted pictures of the building as he passed by.

Dwight stuff
we keep giving weight to ‘D12 want to play with DWill’, or ‘Dwight won’t want to follow in Shaq’s footsteps’ or ‘Dwight won’t want to play with an aging Dirk’.
I think it’s really as simple as which team between Dallas, NJ, and LA gets creative enough to come up with a package that Orlando likes.
Dallas and LA are in play because Dwight knows each of these teams always try to put a winner on the floor. Period. Don’t matter who’s there now or later…he and his agent have that faith in both those teams. Do i know this as fact? No. But it’s not as outlandish as to say he won’t go to Dallas or LA cuz of Shaq’s shadow or Dirk’s age. Both Dallas and LA are on his list of teams for a reason.
As for NJ, our draw is and has always been DWill + Brooklyn.
So again, at the end of the day, the team with the best package will get Dwight. And what we do know is Dallas, NJ, and LA are in play and he likely has already given assurances to all 3 GMz that he’ll sign on the dotted line so as long as they get him in a trade.
If LA offers both Bynum and Gasol
They’ll get Dwight.

Yes. And I would. If, by some miracle, Dwight agreed to sign an extension.
Rather build around Dwight than Deron. Getting a chance to see Deron this season, he’s not even close to the same level as Paul or Rose. He’s inefficient, pouty, and rushes everything. With the exception of PHX, DWill has not played like a star at all.

CDR was having a lot of success early that season
And started sulking in the locker room after losses frustrated w the teams effort, especially during the 0-18 stretch.. I have no problem w what brooks is saying, I’m just hoping this doesn’t get negative like CDR became.. CDR was a gym rat as well for the record

Yea, Butler is the guy we really need to shut down
only way we win, is by out scoring them, which means we have to put up 100+

And playing a sub-replacement level player like Stevenson just to “stop” someone like Butler is just silly talk.

I think this entire trade for oj is to send him in the Howard deal to protect from being traded.
Dre Day all day
ORL will demand Marshon as they should
Howard is a top 3 player in the league. They can pick and choose whoever they want from the Nets outside Deron.

So youre disregarding a players entire career over a quarter of a season.
Gotcha.
Fact is THUS FAR, Deron has played really poorly. And THUS FAR, Shumpert has been way overhyped by knicks fans and has played very poorly over the past few games.
Can both of them turn it around? Of course. But Knicks fans need to relax with the D Wade comparisons.

why trade for Dwight?
If Im Dwill trading for Dwight hurts the team long term. Nets arent winning anything this year whether Dwight comes or not…hopefully the real deal is Dwight signs with the Nets in the offseason thus allowing the team to keep al of its assets as well as a top pick in this years stacked draft. Best case scenario at this point though risky but at this point why not. I assume the big issue would be Dwight gets more $ if traded to Nets and signs.

Hold up now- the Hornets weren’t a BAD team by any means, and they certainly weren’t a lot worse than the Jazz.
I've watched the Hornets played a lot since the B-Diddy days
Paul’s play made that team look a lot better than they were. Even this season, he’s looks like the same star I saw years ago before he had that terrible injury.

I met Marshon over the summer and was really impressed. He just doesn’t stop building on it. This kid has so much potential and has the heart a player needs to succeed. He is mature beyond a rookie and I’m happy to see that something is finally going in the Nets favor.
