Very Disappointed in the D-Will bashing

it’s just hard to support a guy who looks like he’s going through the motions and doesn’t want to be here. he should be going all out to will this team to victory, yet he doesn’t seem to even be trying.

its ridiculous. Yes he is playing crap and he needs to play better and if you want to bash him here on this site that fine, thats what this site is for, we’re like support group. but theres no need to go to his twitter and start bashing him. You don’t know what hes going through. do you really think he wants to play like crap? when he shows emotion, you say hes showing up his teamates when he doesn’t show his emotions then he doesn’t care. ..
its frustrating i get it but its not all his fault.

hes forced to shoot the ball more than hes comfortable with because nobody else can score and hes forced to be in possesion of the ball more cause half the team can’t even handle the basektball. TO can be a very overrated Stat. you know who is in the top 10 for TOs in the league? Rondo, Lebron, Kobe, Westbrook, Durant, Curry, Ellis and even Nash. do they all suck too?

all players go through slumps as well, its been only 12 games. We as fans need patience and support our star player., Nets by all means are far from a finished product but will be by next season IMO..

is Deron being put on a pedastol? what has he done for this franchise that he is beyond reproach. the guy is playing bad point blank period!!! His body language has been horrible and he is not giving maximum effort. we’re supposed to cheer for this guy when half the time he looks like he doesnt want to be there? He’s not a leader and that is obvious. He constantly reminds us that we need better players to keep him, which i imagine isnt something the guy in the locker next to him likes to hear. It’s ok for him to feel that way but it doesnt make sense for him to say that publically..

It’s one thing to voice your displeasure with how he has played on here or the forums, but harassing him on Twitter is beyond disrespectulful. Not to mention that it’s not going to make him play better or want to be here. Look what the guy has to play with currently. He is a facilitator first and foremost, yet he has no one to facilitate the ball to. He is playing with scrubs and not having Brook makes this all the more obvious to everyone who watches us play. He has no one who he can throw an alley-up to, no one to slash to the basket that he can hit for an easy layup or dunk, and no one besides MarShon who is capable of even dribbling the ball for more than 4 seconds without turning it over. Give the guy a break.

and to all those who keep saying I don’t care he’s paid max contract, dance Deron Dance! Do your 35 and 14 per game or you suck or are “Doggin it” or etc.

Honestly…it’s embarrassing reading all those. It’s why i stopped commenting on the forum for a few days. In fact it’s honestly why I haven’t visited this site anymore in the last week. They have every right to post what they want and their opinions, but they sound more like little children whining. They whine and complain more than Dwill does or more than they say Dwill does.

Lastly it is apparently evident that those that do criticize him to no end (not the ones that DISLIKE HIS PLAY, or are disappointed with him) do not have a high basketball IQ. Most of the comments I see are “I want a product I can be proud of and I’ll take it out on Deron because he’s our max contract guy…”.If you really understood basketball on any rationale level you would understand that the situation is not ideal for him to score or perform to what he’s used to. If you want to say he’s not a superstar then go ahead but please, stop with the twitter posts to Dwill. You want to sound like Knick Fans or Orlando Fans to Dwight right now? Is that really how you are? I’ve always known that new jersey is generally filled with ignorant idiots but please, don’t lead me to believe that this site is also filled with them.

Grow up, be mature, be respectful is what I want to say to those people who are just straight Dwill haters.

i do not hate dwill he is a great player but he could be better if he stopped blaming his teammates. If he just shut his mouth and sucked it up he could start to actually help this team. These players seemed just fine when devin harris was here but now all the sudden they suck. Who does dwill want MJ? All im trying to say is that deron williams needs to put this team on his back and suck it up.

he was averaging 15.2 FGA/game with Utah last year. He’s averaging 15.8 this year. If that is a significant difference in your mind….okay.

The big difference is he got 1.4 points per shot then and only 1.14 this season.

I’ve been a fan since the days of Gminski, Sugar Ray and other old stars. But I kind of understand where the frustration is coming from. Net fans rightfully expect good, if not dominate performances from one of the so-called top 2 PGs in the league. But so far, his performance has been less than stellar. I took a look at a handful of prior boxscores and the thing that really jumps out is this. Deron has to pretty much dominate his position for the Nets to have a shot at winning. Unfortunately, Deron has been outplayed by many of his matchups this year. Guys who are not in the conversation of top PGs. Billups torched us and he must be 90. Teague abused us badly twice. Chambers arguably had a better night statistically than Deron when Miami beat us. The fact is that when Deron doesn’t widely outperform the opposition’s PG(s) we lose. Now that we’re running that set with 4 players on one side of the floor, freeing Deron to take his guy one-on-one, he should be putting up an efficient 20ppg easy. That’s of course assuming he’s a top-2 PG. I’ll forgive Deron somewhat for the turnovers, because Sheldon and Petrocious couldn’t catch a STD from a well-traveled “professional.”

I’m not sure why you think that these two things are equivalent, especially since you specify tweets sent to DWill’s account. I agree that attacking him in correspondence with him is rude and counter-productive. But if DWill is reading all 2500 comments in the threads for each game (and nobody thinks he is), then he has to put up with some things he might not want to read.

And if you think you can pressure us not to voice our honest opinions on this board, you are deluded. There are rules about posting concerning language and respect that we all adhere to, and that’s it. The rest is up to us, including and especially our opinions. If you don’t like what people are saying, you are free to rebut them. If you don’t have a rebuttal, too bad. But “you shouldn’t say that” is not an option.

Net Income is the cop here, and we respect the man and the job. We don’t need a nagging nanny on the side.

You can absolutely voice your displeasure on Nets Daily but not by directly sending him messages on twitter.
There are only a handful of Nets fans compared to Mavericks fans, Knicks fans, etc.
So those few of you who are sending him those comments, you aren’t helping the cause.
You are more likely making him to continue playing like this & then leaving than making him play better (which is unlikely with what he’s surrounded with).

And YES, D-Will (& D12) does control our future. I do not want to go into another rebuilding phase (How did the rebuilding after Kidd turn out = TWill, Lee, Yi, etc.).

And by the way, if DWill does leave, we’d be going into Brooklyn with Brooks, a max contract Brook Lopez, a questionable top 5 pick and a bunch of garbage.

Before he asks for trade.

Dwill not doing good. Many proboble reasons: 1. Trying too hard. 2. Is he a combo guard or purely a shooting guard?. The way he passes the ball is miles away from JKidd. He kicks it to a 3-point shooter whose chance of making it at best is 40% at any level. He tries to do spectacular passes which most of the time results in a turnover. The way I see it Marshon has a lot more promise as a combo guard than this guy. Defensivley, I could see his size is an advantage. But Marshon deceptive arm lenghts is something else. 3. How is his wrist. Could he have been running out of gas having played In Turkey in th off-season. Bottom line: Trading him with equal talent is not a bad idea if this keeps going on. Keep all the prime draft picks that the team has and startall over again.

In the first place, the Nets wants Melo right?? If you don’t like D-Will, then trade him straight up with Melo. D-Will’s career is pretty messed up with this kind of line up. It makes more sense to both party. D-Will-Amare-Chandler pick and Roll. Melo… errrr.., NJ originally wants him right??

The problem with you NJ fans, you don’t appreciate the man. It is not his fault to play the way he is right now. Your line up sucks in the first place. Im not a NJ fan, but im sucking it up because of D-Will. Can you guys be just supportive of your team? That’s maybe the reason why players don’t want to play here? You bash your own players!
