Nets' Comeback Falls Short Against Clippers

The Nets rebounded from another ugly start on Monday, but a big comeback fell short, as they finished their road trip at 1-3 with a 101-91 loss to the Clippers.

The Clippers took control with a 16-0 run midway through the first quarter, led by 13 at the half and by 11 at the end of the third. A 15-2 Nets run tied the game with 6:46 left to go in the game, but they came up short on their only chance to take the lead. The Clippers answered with a 6-1 run and Chauncey Billups hit the dagger with just over a minute to go.

The Nets shot 42 percent from the field and 8-for-24 from 3-point range. The difference in the game was rebounding, where the Clippers had a 46-35 advantage.

MarShon Brooks led the Nets with 19 points and eight rebounds. Four other Nets scored in double-figures, including Deron Williams, who made just five of his 14 shots. Shelden Williams fueled the fourth-quarter comeback and finished with eight points and eight boards. Blake Griffin led L.A. with 23 and 14.

horrible refs

we should have had this

Agreed

Those refs were so 1-sided. The Nets got cheap whistles while the Clips did whatever they wanted> All night Blake was knocking people around and about half the fouls that went against the NEts really belonged to BG

At least Farmar took control of the tempo unlike Deron

And that’s the main reason why Deron isnt on the level of Paul because Paul controls the flow of the game while Williams shoots hopeless bricks even at the free throw line smh pathetic and this is the man you want on a Max contract?

so erase the horrible start with a normal start

and they are winning and most likely walk out building with a W instead of trying to pin everything on the refs(although they receive some blame but when have NBA refs ever called a fair game)

sorry, cant come out flat and unprepared EVERY game and expect to erase 30 point deficits in 2 and a half quarters and win

yep it seems like every single game we go down 12+ in the first quarter and then make comebacks which always seem to fall short

except in Washington.

We beat the Raptors and Suns good.

Our opponents are better, they take the lead early, step off the gas when it gets big, we come back because of effort, then they beat is in the end because they are better. We aren’t unprepared, just untalented.

maybe just pass to Brooks every time we get that ball so he has a lot of experience. But really, why should we even bother watching this year if we’re all giving up on the season in this pursuit of Dwight?

Reasons why we lost the game:

1) Referees
2) D Will being awful in the clutch
3) Farmar being awful in the clutch
4) Avery not giving Morrow any mins when we desperately needed a bucket. Avery also didn’t go to Brooks ONCE in crunch time. Makes you wonder why he had Brooks out there in the first place.

Deron is closer to home and plays would resign there. We could ask for Westbrook and Harden in return and have a very good, young guard rotation.

I imagine, eLone, that most plays have multiple options and it’s up to Williams or Farmar to make the decision to give the ball to Brooks. They simply looked for their own shot first and didn’t even look to Brooks as a bail out option.

Should Avery have called plays specifically for Brooks? Yes, and he definitely didn’t. But Williams and Farmar didn’t actively look to get him involved so I put it on them as veteran leaders of this team.

i agree...

the rook needs to fall in line…but it’s the coaching staff’s fault for not developing more plays for him that puts him in position to score…he’s obviously the best scorer on the team right now.

Brooks is the one thing a rookie is never supposed to be, confident and authoritative. Farmar knows the kid is good and what’s worse, to Jordan, he is like Robinson Cano in that he looks like he’s showing you up because he sometimes does the most difficult thing and makes it look easy.

I don’t know either of those guys personally so I can’t comment on whether MarShon is a nie guy, but I think Farmar feels threatened by him. Tells you something about this team’s terrible chemistry, yet another strike against Avery Johnson

by mytoemytoe on Jan 16, 2012 6:40 PM EST up reply actions  

there was also a play...

out of a break where it appeared Marshon didn’t fulfill his assignment…Stevenson called a 20sec. time out halfway through the play. Avery and Stevenson were talking to MarShon on the sideline.

With that being said, I’m not sure what the benefit of doing the long developing back screens for DWill when he’s obviously not in tune with the game. Farmar was playing hard, but he is obviously excluding MarShon on certain plays…and taking bad shots.

MarShon wants to win and he’s playing hard. It’s time to have a few plays that gets him the ball in position to score when the Nets need buckets. Avery hasn’t figured it out…his old plays were for Brook (he’s injured), most plays now are for DWill playing off the ball (he’s having more bad games than good)…time to design some plays for Brooks.

disappointed in Avery and Deron after this game. Farmar is just a hard playing back-up PG…who has a low bbiq at times.

Spurs are winning without Manu

Warriors havent had Curry for several games and just plugged in Nate Robinson and Charles Jenkins and still beat teams like the heat and got their first road win yesterday

teams have had injuries all over. Nets just approached this the worst way possible hoping no one got hurt

The saddest part about all of this is the fact that most thought Deron was still gonna be a top flight PG

When in reality he isn’t “anymore” and probably never was!

The recipe was simple coming into this season, if this team was to get in a playoff race deron needed to play at an MVP level thus far that hasn’t happen and you folks need to stop making excuses for him! He’s not as good as advertised point blank! Even Rondo controls the flow of the game Billups did today as well, we have a scoring PG with a bad jumpshot!

If he still gets a max contract playing like this it will be a damn shame! I’d rather have Rondo who actually has a sense of efficiency and only at a 10mil range contract than Mr. Crossover oops I just broke my own ankles Williams!

Still and all Deron is a great passer but that’s about it right now especially since he clearly is being out performed by Brooks Nuff said!!!

I am officially done with

DISLIKED
1) Avery - Why did you bench Stevenson? Only guy besides Brooks and when SheWill stepped up, that clearly cared about this game. FIRE AVERY NOW!!!!!!

2) Dwill - Man I didnt want to listen to some of you guys on this board, but I really dont think Dwill can handle BROOKLYN. He clearly isnt the strong minded individual that I thought he was. TRADE HIM but I dont want westbrook because he is the same way. Another thing here is when BUTLER was acting a FOOL and HiTTING shots. DWILL you should have guarded him and made him eat CROW. That is a true LEADER. If this is YOUR TEAM, that is what you should have done.

2) BKING - I dont want Dwight. If Dwill is being this way, how is Dwight going to be since they are in cahoots. I dont want to lose anymore picks, I dont want to lose Brooks and Lopez. Yeah I know Dwight is the end all be all but I dont want to BABYs. I thought Dwight would be the overgrown baby and Dwill would put him in check, BUT it looks like they are BOTH BABIES.

WHAT I LIKED
1) Stevenson – Showed some really heart tonight. I want to guy to stay with Brooks.
2) Brooks 20XXXXXX- Stevenson clearly embarrassed him on national TV and what does the KID do. He hits his next shot and shows that he F"ED up but still maintained his SWAG.
3) TEAM EFFORT – We made a run to come back without DWILL.

ALL THAT SAID

I like Dwill’s game, but I am NO LONGER willing to LOSE anymore Assets for TWO BABIES. If Dwight wants to come here, WAIT UNTIL SUMMER. DO NOT TRADE ANY THING ELSE.

I AM DONE. TANK and DRAFT I AM BACK TO YOUTH MOVEMENT.

ALRIGHT guys the light has come to me. I am convinced...

We have to do everything we can to trade Deron now. It makes total sense. First of all, it’s not like he’s the reason we have a shot at getting Dwight or anything. We’ll still totally have a shot at getting Dwight after trading Deron… an even better shot actually. Howard won’t ever pass up on the opportunity of playing with Farmar. Second of all, there’s no point in waiting until Lopez gets healthy. It’s not like he’s in a slump or anything, he’s just a fake superstar and everything that we saw from him in the first six years of his career is a fluke. A sample size of less than a month is way more meaningful. Don’t even wait until the trade deadline. Who cares if he finds his shot and gets back on track, I WANT HIM TRADED NOW!!!

Jazz fans obviously hated on D-Will all the time from the terrible reception he got when he came back on Saturday.

The Jazz fans will put up with a surly, bad-attitude player if the team is winning but once the foundation started to crumble it’s clear they turned on Deron Williams just like the Nets are turning on him right now.

If we don’t get Dwight Howard, Deron Williams won’t have to leave because the fans are going to pack his bags for him.

I think I’d rather have Marshon Brooks and Anthony Davis going forward than Deron Williams and a supporting cast without Dwight Howard.

agree about the attitude...

the lack of effort at times is inexcusable. I’m disappointed right now by Dwill’s willingness to back down from adversity.

However, I actually think he’s going to turn it around soon…I also think if Avery figures out how good a scorer MarShon can really be…the offense might start flowing a lot better, and Brooks won’t get turned away on certain plays.

There are some fighters on this team, which is refreshing…disappointed Deron isn’t showing he’s one of them.

Dwight was trying to be nice to Orlando...

when he requested a trade in the offseason…there were multiple reports and even Orlando admitted the Nets were the top choice. Orlando could have dumped massive amounts of salary and picked up a few key pieces + draft picks. But they said NO.

Dwight thought the deal was done during training camp…now, I really don’t see the benefit of him trying to get traded to the Nets at the deadline other than the 5th year on his contract. The cap space the Nets will have this summer plus multiple picks could build a contender from DAy 1.

I'd like to add...

The Knicks are very inflexible after the move for Chandler. If this fails and the team continues to be horrible defensively and fall way short of championships, while Deron and Dwight are in Brooklyn, it’s going to be especially hard for Brooklyn residents who are proud of their origins to not be Nets fans.

if Dwight is traded…there’s still a chance he joins the Nets in the offseason. He will opt out of his contract even if he’s traded to the lakers. I wouldn’t be surprised if the team requires him to pick up his 1 year option similar to CP3 if they trade for him…but doesn’t look like Dwight will go that route.

The Lakers won't trade Bynum to Orlando

Deron (superstar) Williams. I really hope this guy turns it around because this is just becoming sickening. I actually sigh* when he puts up a shot. Plain and simple explanation, the Netw won’t be worth a damn as long as Deron is playing this way and string minutes. Don’t tell me. Orbit about Petro,Shawne,Okur,Morrow…. No one, because they were.

But most of the people, just like most of the people who were going to Nets game (when I played for the Knicks) are Knicks fans. So they’re going to have their work cut out for them to try to change the culture.”

So as time goes by and losses pile up, the old adage of PERCEPTION = REALITY comes up

I’ve used that line when referring to our beloved nets a few times on this site only to be told I’m not a psychoanaylst and therefore shouldnt try and dissect what people are thinking. But i can state how i perceive things can’t I? Well OK. My perception is that this team absolutely stinks! That stench carries over wayyyyyyy west to cali, way down towards texas and especially south towards florida! Unfortunately, people don’t look at our situation the way that we do, i.e. loads of capspace, excellent draft picks, marshon brooks, lopez top young center, brooklyn, moneybags owner, etc etc etc……What they (meaning the media, other GMS, other players, agents, fans) see, is our putrid play and effort. They see Dwill’s body language and lack of hustle and in turn think that guy doesnt wanna be there, he’s outta there as soon as the year is up, he’s already checked out And while this may not be the truth, everyone except for those of us here, believe all of it. They think that NJ tag will be carried well into brooklyn. Save for a few years of joyous basketball featuring jkidd/kmart/RJ/VC we’ve had nothing but heartbreak, bad move after bad move, being left at the altar by top flight free agents, bad draft after bad draft (not including brooks)……that perception is becoming a reality, thanks largely to the fact that everyone outside of our little NJ Nets fans community thinks we absolutely suck, are a joke and will always be a joke…..Players are affected by this. Noone wants to willingly come play for a loser, and in there eyes we are and will always will be just that a loser!

basically the team is built around Lopez

without him, the others have to step up more and some players become less effective.

Dallas Clark was a beast when he didnt have to block because Peyton Manning was so good making good quick reads and delivering the ball ASAP and on point. Deron can set up teammates as long as they are threats to score(like Lopez) but when he has shoulder the load and be a score-first player with no help, he has failed big time.

Lopez going to get his regardless of Deron, Deron just helps him be more efficient. But Deron is not even as close to being effective without Lopez

The former Jazz and current Nets are WAY different

How do you think Deron was scoring? Was he flying over the defense and scoring (which is what guys are expecting here)?

He had Boozer, AK-47, Millsap among others to take the load off his shoulders. Deron would get open shots and hit them. He was occasionally isolate his man and score easily.

Here, everyone just shoots 3 pointers. Deron is not that take-over type of scorer. He’s a team player.

The game came down to two things

1) The refs didn’t allow us to be as physical in the 1st half. Anytime we tried to match their physicality, the whistle came out. It dug us into a hole. Meanwhile, they roughed us up inside at will with no calls.

2) In the run where we came back, we moved the ball…made the extra pass. After we tied it, D-Will and Farmar pounded the air out of the ball.

by Anthony Perez on Jan 16, 2012 8:23 PM EST reply actions  

I dont understand why Avery keeps running dwill off the ball..he has farmer or marshon dribbling the ball on top of the arc for 10 seconds to watch deron run a back screen only to come back up to the arc to catch the ball then run the play…at this point there is 10 or less seconds on the clock
There is so much wrong with this team…all i know, BK better not trade MarShon he has so much potential…

About Deron's body language

He’s biding time. He’s waiting till Dwight gets here. He doesn’t want to kill himself with this squad.

That may not be an agreeable attitude, but it certainly seems like that’s the attitude.

Playing with Dwight wouldn’t make him a better defender because he’d still have problems contesting shots, going up for rebounds etc.

Deron Williams

I’m not one to pile on, but come on already!

Dude is -19 in 36 minutes. MarShon Brooks is +4 in 42 minutes. Jordan Farmar was +14.
Nets -10 in 48 minutes.

That means in the 6 minutes of this game MarShon Brooks didn’t play we were -14 points. That is atrocious! That means Deron Williams got outplayed by a rookie by a 23 point margin, playing less time than a rookie. That is atrocious. This dude is supposed to be a Superstar. This dude is supposed to be the leader of the team. For a ROOKIE, even this ROOKIE to just outplay him. That’s beyond explanation to me.

Look I’m not one of the crazy dudes, who thinks we sell Deron to the highest bidder. I believe in a Nets team built around him. But, this guy isn’t playing the part of a professional right now. This guy isn’t doing his part to help this team win games. Now Dwight Howard is talking Clippers? Deron Williams, it’s time you start looking in the mirror and asking yourself, why a ROOKIE is outplaying you! It’s time to take the lead on this team, and be the man.

If the rook keeps doing his thing, and you step up and do yours, we can be in a position to make a run when we get Lopez back. If Howard makes it to Free Agency, which is looking increasingly likely, that means we can make a last ditch run to the playoffs, make some noise.

I like the idea of Anthony Davis, Lopez/Howard, Brooks, some other pick, and Deron, just fine. But, I want to know what this team can do, if our superstar plays like he’s one of the 5 best players in the league, instead of one of the 75 best.

OT but the large expiring contract (and body) of Diaw is available
The Bobcats have made Boris Diaw available in a trade, according to beat writer Rick Bonnell.
Diaw’s work habits and lethargic play on the floor have him in coach Paul Silas’ doghouse. It’s also the reason he’s unlikely to attract much attention on the trade market. The rebuilding Bobcats won’t take back a bad contract either, meaning Diaw will only be attractive to teams interested in his $9 million expiring contract. Bonnell suggests the Suns as a possible landing spot, but their front-court is already jammed. Diaw has come off the bench in two straight games, playing behind the likes of Tyrus Thomas, D.J. White and Derrick Brown. Source: Rick Bonnell on Twitter/Rotoworld.com

Interesting...

So you’re saying there are varying levels of difficulty which apply to sitting at a computer (or a cell phone) and typing insults about a player from a relatively untouchable (and anonymous) position?

by Dopeness on Jan 16, 2012 9:28 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes

Because, say, if one hates the Nets’ current strategy to chase after star players at all costs (e.g. Melo, Dwight), then one should aim their vindictive at Mikhail Prokhorov, who by all accounts has put that strategy in place. But too often people blame Billy King for that strategy when he is just following orders. What I’m saying is it’s easy to say Fire King or even more to the point, Fire Avery (as if anything substantial would change right now if that were to happen), but it’s more difficult to publicly hope and pray for new majority ownership because Prokhorov is still mostly revered here; such a post would likely spawn a backlash.

I mean, Travis Outlaw was an easy target because it was difficult to argue in favor of him. But clearly he was not the problem relative to the extent that the fans focused on him last year, because this team is actually worse this year than last year.

Of course, it goes without saying I’m ok with the star chasing strategy. Once we got Deron, the Dwight or Bust pursuit was the natural next step. But if people are fed up with this franchise, at least they are now targeting the team’s best player and hopefully will soon target the man who refused to build the team organically — Prokhorov.

I like Stevenson

Avery shouldn’t have taken him out for good after that reactionary timeout. it was inappropriate for a player to waste a timeout like that, but it at least showed he cared about how his team was playing, and it spread to Marshon and Shelden (unfortunately not D-Will, but that’s been covered here).

I wish DeShawn could bring more on offense besides wide open threes, but he brings it every night on D and is a good presence in the locker room. that I respect.

Starbury vs. JKidd

I had hope that D. William was the “second coming” of J Kidd for this organization…but so far he seems to be a second coming of Stephon Marbury:
1. Statistically both can put up deceivingly good 20/10 type of numbers
2. Average to subpar defender or better yet appalling lack of effort
3. Talks winning but plays like a loser and ready to blame everyone but the man in the mirror
4. Pounds the ball too much to the detriment of the team
5. More scorer point guard than a control the tempo of the game and pass point guard
6. Arguably all the above traits showing in Deron William is more of result of this season with little to no other supporting cast and Lopez injury. However, what scares me is his attitude is inexcusably too similar to selfish, punkish, immaturish Starbury……again hopefully this not the “real” D. Will or else……

IF Knicks make Amare available...

…what would you give up from Nets to get him? Anyone? Or pass?

I think as the season goes on, the Knicks(if not already) will know their squad is far from a championship contender. Stat is really their only real piece they can trade. And yes I do think there’s a team willing to take a risk on Stat’s uninsurable contract.

i think its obvious avery is not the coach for this team

the offense is pathetic. they have like 2 plays. a pick and pop for memo, or d-will iso until the shot clock runs down and he dishes to someone who has to put up a bad shot. avery just lets this happen game after game. avery is known for his defense, well they don’t play defense either. stevenson was right to bug out and call that timeout today. i think they need to hire the czar, he constantly makes sense when pointing out what they’re doing wrong during the broadcasts.

honestly I didn't think Avery was all that to blame tonight

the defensive rotations were better in the 2nd half, and the offense looked good for a bit until they stopped getting Marshon the ball, and it’s hard to tell if that’s to blame on the sets or Deron and Farmar being ballhogs.

I’m never one to heap all the blame on the coach though. let’s not forget the Czar had several losing seasons in both Atlanta and Memphis. a coach can only do so much with what he has

And BG is NOT a scorer whatsoever. IMO, that would require some sort of one-on-one skill. The guy is a high-flyer, period. He has nothing else to offer on the offensive side of the ball at this point in his career.

I’m really starting to not like Blake Griffin. part of it is due to the non-stop hype machine surrounding “Lob City”, but he just plays like such a “fugazy”. he pushes and pulls all night, but if things don’t go his way, he whines for a whistle.

the worst was when he and Shelden were fighting for the board, Griffin flopped back and a jump ball was called, then he tried to act tough and taunt “u mad” to Shelden for taking it out on him, when Blake was the one who exaggerated the contact and flew his body to the ground.

I’m with Bill Simmons on this one. Griffin so far is nothing more than a more athletic Kris Humphries.

Rip is one of the few players in history to win both an NCAA Championship and NBA championship—that doesn’t hurt his case. Esp considering he wasn’t just a Derrick Fisher on those teams—he WAS the UConn team that won, and he was (IMO) the most valuable piece to the Pistons win in the NBA.

Lets just throw the towel in on this season. Worse case scenario is that DWill leaves and we dont get Dwight. We will still be OK. This years draft is filled with difference makers. How did the Clippers future look before they got Blake Griffin? Now they are set for the forseeable future. There are 4 true franchise type of players in this years draft.

1. Anthony Davis PF – Franchise player. Has the skillset to be the defensive player of the year. As a Senior in HS he averaged 32 pts 22 rebounds 7 blocks a game. He is averaging 13 pts 10 boards 4.6 blocks at Kentucky right now. I cant think of a more perfect compliment to Lopez then Davis.

2. Andre Drummond PF – Amare clone, pre injuries. This kid would also be a good fit because he can really play inside. Has an NBA body right now. Very athlethic and explosive.

3. Perry Jones SF/PF – This kid is a freak. 6’11" athletic phenom. Has Durant upside. He has been called a taller Tracy McGrady, pre injuries of course.Seem that he is a boom/bust type because he hasnt overwelmed in college but his game is better suited for the NBA.

4. Harrison Barnes SF – Does everything well on a basketball court. Has lockdown defensive skills, can be a great scorer, smart player, hard worker. Barnes at SF and Brooks at SG would give us the best young wing tandem in the NBA.

Outside of these four you have players like Lamb, Kidd Gilchrist, Beal and Sullinger are also possible franchise type talents. Lopez will be 24 when next season starts, Brooks will be 23. Bogdanvic will also be coming over in the next year or two and he is one of the top scorers in Europe. We can put together a great young nucleus and build around them.

Lopez- Top 5 Center
A Davis- Superstar potential. Defensive Monster
Bogdanvic – Good scorer
Brooks – Potential All Star in the next 2 years
Felton – FA signing

He has a 7-1 wingspan and averaged 7.1 rebounds in the Big East. He will be one of the top players when we look back on this draft 3 years from now. DWILL-of-the-GODZ June 3, 2011

Rebuttal:

The Lakers are only 3 wins off last season’s pace to this point in the season with a bench that makes last season’s bench look like that of the Nets’ first Finals team. With any of the other coaches available last summer (other than Adelman) they’d be at least 5 wins off last season’s pace to this point in the season.

He hates to lose. He can score from anywhere on the court. He’s got good defensive instincts and long arms. He’s getting better and more NBA savvy every game. This kid IS a star in the making.

I hope Orlando doesn’t trade Dwight this season, b/c I don’t want the Nets to be put in the position of having to decide whether to trade this kid to get a deal done or not.

obviously I’m still holding out hope for Dwight. but honestly, if Deron leaves because we don’t get Dwight, good riddance, because he never gave a 100% for us. Marshon does, has a good attitude, tons of potential, and we’ve been watching him from the beginning.

not to mention I love Brook Lopez

by sheepareevil on Jan 17, 2012 1:45 AM EST up reply actions  

Is it just me or is our best chance of winning right now is letting Brooks get 20 to 25 shots per game.

I have more confidence in his contested shot going in then open shots from anyone else. I dont care if he is a rookie or not. It seems the team resents Brooks because of his pedigree, 25th pick, but its obvious that he is the best scoring option on the team.

Deron said it himself, losing Lopez was devastating

But his attitude has been pretty moiso-y, or at least seemed like it.

I think he can do better, but I don’t agree with MrDB, he’s not doing this:

i find that hard to believe
Many here cannot accept how important Lopez is to the offense because they have invested so much in their belief that he is overrated. It’s a fact.

We dont have any post presence…none of our bigs play the post. It so frustrating…anyone who watches can point this out. Lopez is desperately needed.

Deron is being asked to carry too much of the offense. That's why his numbers are down and he is unhappy.

Marson might be a rookie but he will be 23 in a week which is how old Lopez was when he carried our offense last year. Brooks’s game is better suited to play with our offense since he is good at making bad shots. Until Lopez comes back we should be running the offensive through Brooks.

He has a 7-1 wingspan and averaged 7.1 rebounds in the Big East. He will be one of the top players when we look back on this draft 3 years from now. DWILL-of-the-GODZ June 3, 2011

ridiculous re ages

When Brooks turns 23, he will have played fewer than 20 games.

When Lopez turned 23, he had already played 240 games.

You know there is a difference.

Is there NI? Brooks is creating his own offense. Its not like he is the recipiant of open looks

What we are doing now has gotten us 3 wins which are in large part due to the play of Brooks. Deron is shooting horribly being asked to be the lead dog. His 35/14 game came against a Nash-less Phoenix team. If we took the names off of the back of the jerseys and asked who is the best player on the team right now most people would say #9.

Brooks is chucking and making

Hes not exactly dribble driving and soaring to the lane after crossing over his defender. The kid gets buckets but he requires a clear out and holds the ball too long.

He’s got a lot of confidence, shooting ability, and BBIQ… but hes no Lopez.

I do think they should’ve gone to him in the 4th, especially after he made that long 2.

Brooks's game is comparable to Melo's, He is an Iso player.

With the team we have now I would Iso 2-3 players(Morrow, DWill, Okur) on the weakside 3 point line and leave Hump underneat to crash the O boards. This would be getting the best use of our starters

The only reason you dont think Brooks can carry the offense is because you havent seen it.

Good Decisions come from Experience and Experience comes from bad Decisions.

What we are currently doing isnt working. Deron needs a capable big who can run pick and roll/pop to be effective. He has gotten plenty of open shots for Hump, Sheldon, James and Shawne and they simply cant knock them down consistantly. Deron isnt the type of player who can be successful shooting 16 shots a game which he currently leads the team in.

Brooks however has been a high volume shooter and is better at getting his own shot then Williams without turning the ball over.

Im not saying Brooks should be featured over Lopez when he comes back but in the meantime Avery should be making a conserted effort to get Brooks close to 20 shots a game. What do we have to lose? It might sound like a bad decision because of Brooks lack of experience but to this point he has produced.

The grumpiness and the misery he’s putting us through is an elaborate ploy to make people think he and Dwight don’t have anything planned and thus haven’t done anything against the rules. Don’t worry, they’ve really HAVE planned everything and probably broke a whole bunch of rules.

If we are saying Deron is turnin the ball over and shooting a horrible percentage because of brook that's fine

But if that is true then the guy is a Superstar like we claim. I want to believe he’s just in a slump (mental) but if he plays like this because he’s missing Lopez then dnt call him a Superstar. I seen him miss wide open shots over and over again I seen him get to the basket and miss make able layups and we seen him turn the ball over with out double teams constantly just from trying to dribble the ball to get wows. Sure Lopez would elevates any PG play but he’s not going to make a bad PG into a Superstar . So again I hope it’s a Mental slump but if it really is Lopez like all of you claim than dude is not a superstar

by nwkiddnj on Jan 16, 2012 11:12 PM EST reply actions  

Stop using this ambiguous word ‘super star’.
What does it mean?

Deron Williams is an All-Star point guard. That’s it. The Nets don’t have any other All Stars, although MarShon might be one in the making. Lopez has never made an All Star game.

He’s in a mental slump, simple as that. He doesn’t believe in his teammates and he’s doing the worst thing you can possibly do, letting his frustration show. When your teammates see you are frustrated, it distracts them and they can’t perform to their fullest either. Hopefully the Nets can quickly upgrade this squad.

Deron Williams IS a superstar

he is an elite level passer, he has a high basketball IQ, he can shoot from anywhere, you name it, he can do it all. BUT, he has never in his career had to do what he is being asked to do now on the Nets, which is score more. He is not used to this at all. With Lopez down, it worsens the situation. And the fact that the people around him outside of MarShon are bonafide scrubs. He has to be frustrated right now, this isn’t his element.

Kim Kardashian IS a superstar too, doesn't mean she's not completely worthless

I’m not a part of the “I hate Deron Williams Bandwagon” but being a superstar isn’t always a deserving title.Once you become one it’s pretty hard to relinquish that moniker

Wilson Chandler anyone?
Added Aldridge: “The Nuggets are hopeful they’ll be able to keep Gallinari around just as they’ve inked Nene and guard Arron Afflalo to long-term deals in the last few weeks. Denver wasn’t able to surround Carmelo Anthony with enough star talent to keep him happy, so the team has pivoted to a new approach — call it Knicks West — with Gallinari seemingly replacing Wilson Chandler, who’s playing in China this season and will be difficult to re-sign once the Nuggets get Gallinari extended.”

We need to trade Farmar and Morrow, hopefully petro too but that’s wishfull thinking. Chandler would be a great addition long term at SF.

Lopez

Just for his development. EIther way, as these losses rack up, we’re going to get a REALLY good draft pick along with a lot space in cap. It’s upsetting but atleast we’re getting value out of these losses.

by jsalkin1 on Jan 17, 2012 12:23 AM EST up reply actions  

if this is the case

the deal is going down either this week or next week. King and everyone who follows the NBA knows Farmar and a draft pick/Morrow for O.J. Mayo is a good and necessary deal for the Nets. King would be a fool to pass up a talent like that for such a low price. I hope the theory that the Nets want to do deals while their at home is true.

We'll Be Fine.

by JerseysFinest. on Jan 17, 2012 12:22 AM EST up reply actions  

I am not completely sold on the idea that this deal is simply waiting for the Nets to pull the trigger.

When it was first reported they said the Grizzlies had soured on the deal I think. That makes more sense too because I believe Mayo would be a Net already if Memphis was agreeable to it. It makes a lot more sense for us than it does for them. I wouldn’t blame them for hesitating to take Farmar and a 2nd rounder

by NuttinBut on Jan 17, 2012 12:33 AM EST up reply actions  

I don't remember reading that in the MCA

it said they have two deals on the table, and the ball was in the Grizzlies’ court. Kerber and NI have said that the Nets have the choice. I believe the Nets could be waiting to return from the West Coast trip before doing a trade, or maybe King wants to speak with Deron first. And the deal helps Memphis save money btw, and Farmar/Morrow are much better fits for them than Mayo.

We'll Be Fine.

More SWAG and why we should be running the offense through him.

http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Finding-a-Niche-For-Marshon-Brooks-3756#.Tfte1SPvk4M;twitter

An interesting thing to note about Brooks’ scoring offense is that in spite of his absurd amount of isolations and propensity for difficult shots, he still posted very strong efficiency numbers as a senior, a hard feat to pull off given the style he plays. Brooks’ 1.01 points per possession ranks in the 88th percentile of NCAA players according to Synergy and his 58% True Shooting Percentage ranks 6th of the 24 shooting guards in our top-100 rankings.
Of the 234 jump shots Brooks took in the half court setting according to Synergy this season, just 27 were of the unguarded, catch-and-shoot variety, but he scored a lethal 1.7 points per shot on those attempts.

He has a 7-1 wingspan and averaged 7.1 rebounds in the Big East. He will be one of the top players when we look back on this draft 3 years from now. DWILL-of-the-GODZ June 3, 2011

So when Karl Malone left The Jazz to try and win a ring with the Lakers, what would the perception be had he succeeded?

The man is Jazz till the day he dies. KG was the face of Minnesota for many years. The two were synonymous. I’ll always look back at him as a T-wolve. The Jason Kidd that won the ring in Dallas was a fraction of his former self. His best years were with us and that can never be taken away. I’m sure his name will hang from the rafters in Brooklyn and Dallas both.

1. Don’t listen to extraneous people. All know that Nets don’t love.
2. In Nets only 2 players of a starting lineup of Deron and Brooks. Still Lopez. 2 sound player Morrow and Hump. It is not enough of it.
3. At us the worst forward line in league. The hump the good supplementing player, but it can’t be the leader.
4. What does Stevenson bring to us on a platform? It the good defender? I it don’t see.
5. Okur and Petro the worst tandem of the center. You look as they play to protection.
6. We can’t do conclusions now. It is necessary to wait Lopez’s returnings. We will look at game of Deron after that.
