PrintThe Nets have more road wins than the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Spurs and Celtics but have yet to reward the hometown fans with a win, going 0-4 at Prudential Center. On Wednesday, they go for No. 1 again vs. the Warriors, winners of two straight, including one Tuesday night in Cleveland.
For the Warriors, their win vs. the Cavaliers seemed like old home week for ex-Knicks. David Lee and Nate Robinson led Golden State with 29 and 17. The Warriors are coached, of course, by Mark Jackson, who traded the mic for the chalk board over the summer. Stephen Curry is questionable at best.
The Nets remain the walking wounded. D-League call-up Larry Owens arrived Tuesday night in New Jersey, his services needed because of nagging foot injuries to Damion James and Shawne Williams. He may get minutes vs. Golden State. The big problem continues to be replacing Brook Lopez's numbers while he heals from his foot injury. It hasn't been easy.

The realist keepin it real amongst the surrealists
I was in Baghdad before these little B.G.'s was in they daddy-bags.

first quarter we gotta give brooks the balls, first quarters have killed our games
we beat the clippers on monday in every quarter except for the first.
Winnable, but the Nets have to keep Lee off the boards and hope that Ellis is limited by his face injury
If they can catch fire and score, this is doable
agreed, winnable game
Hump should battle Lee, give Brooks 20 shots and DWill needs to be assertive.
in other news
Lopez is getting even stronger, which is a A+ since he already looked pretty strong in preseason
It's questionable how much muscle you want a big man to have
The more muscle they have on them, the more weight their legs have to carry
eh, he aint getting much more faster on his toes
might as well bulk him up into a brick wall

we really need a home win. only team in the league without one. Granted we only played three game at home but we should have at least one win.
by shethravi on Jan 18, 2012 7:57 AM EST via iPhone app reply actions
agreed
but funny how we have 3 road wins and not many other teams in the western conference do.
its only because we've played 10 road games already
the spurs are 0-5 on the road(but 9-0 at home)
the nuggets are 3-5 on the road
the thunder are 6-1 on the road
not sure about other teams in the west that have played 7 or more road games already

yup one of my dreams for the past 2 years ...
To have my son see at least one home win for the Nets… Going to Sunday game against CHarlotte… Git hooked up with tic from PJ Carlisemo… Hopefully its nice seats…

hopefully you son doesnt graduate from college before you fulfill that dream

exactly.... trying to get him to like the Nets... new generation of net fans..
But its hard when he says… Dad why do you like the nets?? They always lose!!!
by kupalski on Jan 18, 2012 8:33 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Probably doesn't matter where the seats are
Nets – Bobcats tip off at 6pm. Giants – 49ers NFC Championship game kicks off at 6:30pm. I have a feeling the Rock will be empty.
The Rock will not be rocking on Sunday. I’d expect the Bobcats game to be the lowest attended game of the season.

Sat vs OKC
hope you see a home win game!! We need new generation of Nets fans, even if we are moving to Brooklyn. I’m sure 5 years from now the Fanbase will be very different (especially if we do…or don’t…get Dwight).
I’m going to the game on Sat vs OKC. We’re probably not going to win that game but always good to see Durant. My cousin’s fiancee is actually doing marketting for the new Barclay’s center in brooklyn and hooked us up with tickets.
Let me guess how this game will turn out...
After one quarter, the Warriors will outplay the Nets and the score will be something like 28-17.
After that, the Nets will play better, but not too amazing, and will play catch up the entire game.
The Warriors will then go on a run with about 5 minutes left in the 4th to go ahead by double digits. The Warriors will win by double digits, will score over 100, and the Nets will not reach 90 points.
Oh and Deron Williams will shoot something like 4-16, have maybe 6 assists at most, at least 4 turnovers, and will have that disgruntled look on his face for the entire game.
Can you tell I’m a Nets fan with nothing better to do than actually watch our games?

i actually wrote in Petro when i voted

Mark Jackson
I just love Mark Jackson. I was a big Knick fan when he was playing for them. Since we are going to lose almost every game we play, I might as well root for GS tonight. What’s the difference anyway…..3-11 might as well be 3-63. We are disgusting, except for MarShon.
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
this can't be good
from the Jarrod Rudolph reports(tweets)
Howard will let the Magic play out trade scenarios and won’t push the situation one way or another. Howard’s objective is to concentrate on playing basketball.
This report does not sound like Dwight is pushing his way to the Nets. IF D12 is not going to push his way to any one team then LA is the true frontrunner based on Bynum being the centerpiece of any deal with L.A.
well
whatever happens, happens
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
yeah...basically.
And when you think about how the Knicks stripped their team just to get Melo, imagine this if Walsh got his way and did not trade everything for Melo and stayed patient. Knicks could be starting Felton, Shumpert, WChandler, Stat, TChandler and their bench could be Douglas, Fields, Gallo, Harrelson and Mozgov. That’s a pretty good and deep team.
So when we think about BK giving up a bunch of assets…maybe losing out on DWight isn’t the worse thing. DWill may be will to play for a team that consists of Lopez, Hump, MarShon and whoever we can sign in the offseason.
if dwight is meant to be on the nets
he will be on the Nets
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
What more do you want than asking out, not even Melo said that publicly, and we all know what that meant.
He is not gonna say I want Nets or nothing as he will look a specialorder douche!!!
Or
Howard figures he’ll play out the season & postseason with the Magic, and then sign on to a Nets roster that’s not depleted of talent.
Unless we go on a little run & get within striking distance of the playoffs, Howard will be in no rush to push a trade.
No, this is good
We don’t want Orlando to trade Dwight, which I’m beginning to think they won’t. They are playing well and have a shot to go deep in the playoffs. They also have $24m reasons for Dwight to stay.. but he won’t.
by Jack Handy Jr on Jan 18, 2012 10:11 AM EST up reply actions
Yeah, we're not winning.
But I do wanna see this high-flyer, Larry Owens. HAHA
I'm worried about this game.
It’s a trap game. Bad teams rarely do well first game back home after a long road trip, regardless of whether they’re playing an equally bad team or not. This has the makings of another disappointment, but hopefully I’m proven wrong. I wish the Nets were playing a good team like the Bulls rather than the Warriors, because if we’re going to lose a trap game, I’d rather do it against a team that we’d probably not defeat regardless of the circumstances rather than one we could potentially beat if we were fresh and ready.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
Tough matchup for Nets
The boys just gotta stay in the game for the first half at least. After that, Nets can wear them down since they’re coming off a game last night.
we need to contain Lee
can’t let him pull a griffen
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
agreed….it a tough match up.
Anyone on the Warriors can score….they’ve always been known for their offense.

if the 3 ball is falling for us...
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
basically. aren't they all trap games?

the east is wide open!
There’s no doubt that if we had Lopez we would be on the playoffs.
by brickznujerz on Jan 18, 2012 9:02 AM EST via mobile reply actions
It would definitely be fun to make the playoffs on the last NJ season, but at the end of the day it means nothing!!
If we get D12 it would be fun, even if we got swept!
If we don’t get D12, I would rather have a high pick. Not saying we getting 1st, but high pick is value on this loaded draft.
honestly all I want is to make the playoffs this year
I want to enjoy at least one playoff game in jersey

D-WILL ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 things
1. yea lopez will have to come back healthy and play very well, dwill will have to just dominate and play well, brooks will need to continue shooting well and maybe we get oj mayo to help out
2. i love your signature, i remember i was in class (before i discovered netsdaily) and i went on espn because i was bored..and i freaked out when i saw the news best day of my life in like 5 years haha

After like 5 years of lottery...
it means the world getting at chance to play at the top stage once again, all the tension, emotion, passion, excitement…
There’s nothing special in getting a top pick in a draft, no matter what class. I kind of undervalued it greatly after picking our “star” players with picks 11 and 25 respectively.

In addition to Curry’s injuries, Monta get hurt at the end of last game. Not sure how it’ll effect his status
Fire Brian Schottenheimer.

Yeah, took an elbow to the face from Varejao. I believe he didn’t return
Fire Brian Schottenheimer.

he had bruised nose, didnt return because it happened with 30 seconds left and warriors up 11
its not close to being broken and he didnt show concussion symptoms so he will be playing tonight

We should get this
No Curry
2nd night of a back to back for GS
The only players that can hurt us are Ellis (put Stevenson on him) and Lee (put Hump and Shelden on him), otherwise force the role players to step up.
And in other news.. Houston is on fire, at .500, and 1 game out of 8th in the West.
Nets have some momentum...
going into tonight’s game. One win in three games, new found offense, effort, resilience, hoping they capitalize on it at last.
Go Nets!
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
and their role players have stepped up
their bench had almost 50 points last night.
Nate Rob and Charles Jenkins are going to look like all-stars compared to Farmar.
Dorell Wright and Klay and Rush will be hitting open threes unless the nets figure out how to play defense
and Biedrens and Udoh are going to wreak havoc on Petro and Shelden with their length

if he doesn't break 30 within the next 10 games ill be shocked
More MarShon Please

I'm calling this one - Nets 92 GSW - 88
We win this game tonight. They are off a back to back I believe and don’t have their PG. As long as Dwill steps up and actually shows up tonight on the shooting floor we’ll be fine. Marshon hopefully continues doing what he does best, score efficiently. I was afraid he’d be a chucker in the NBA but he’s clearly not. Hump and (Insert Name)Williams will need to make sure Lee isn’t going to destroy us. We also need to play good D on Ellis.
Go Nets! Let’s get this Win.
GSW is a good fast break team they plat much faster then use and i can see deron turning the ball over a good amount
we have to by fundamental basketball like we did against the clippers in 3rd BOX OUT
More MarShon Please

Brooks vs Thompson tonight!!!!
by KillaHoose on Jan 18, 2012 11:37 AM EST via Android app reply actions
NI
Has the team been able to have any practices?
I want to know if Avery has had some time to implement some new offensive plays with the emergence of Brooks.
I also want to know if he has pull the plug on Dwill at SG and pulled back the reigns on Farmar and Gaines.
