Led By Their Backcourt, Nets Finally Win At Home

PrintWith ball movement the best it's been all season, the Nets won their first home game Wednesday, led by Marshon Brooks' career high and double doubles from Deron Williams and Kris Humphries. The game went back and forth for three quarters before the Nets, fueled by their backcourt, broke it open in the fourth, winning 107-100.
Brooks, who had a great all around offensive game on offense, finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists, more than one of them nifty no-looks underneath.
Williams came close to a triple double, with 24 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds while Humphries had 15 rebounds to go with his 18 points. Hump also finished with four blocks.
Three other Nets finished in double figures. Mehmet Okur and Anthony Morrow each had 13 and Shelden Williams had a season-high 10. The Nets shot 50% for the game, 38% from deep and out-rebounded the Warriors, 45-25. Monta Ellis led Golden State with 30.
For all the punditry about how bad he's looked, Deron Williams over the last five games has averaged 20.8 points, 9.6 assists, 3.8 turnovers, shot 42% overall, 52% from deep and had three double-doubles. The Nets are 2-3 over that stretch.
Dmitry Razumov, Mikhail Prokhorov's No. 2 and the man who approves the Nets financial moves, was in from Moscow, sitting next to Brett Yormark in the first half and Billy King in the second.

Listen you don’t go into negotiations just saying yea we’ll give you w/e you want. Honestly, if Bynum keeps playing well Buss loves him and will probably not trade him. Esp if the lakers are looking really good. He could easily say I don’t wanna mess with this chemisty. Clippers are not trading Griffin for Howard and DeAndre can’t be traded this year. What can the Mavs give up. Nets fans have turned into the guy who grovels after that girl that doesn’t give him the light of day. Enough of this, we will be a good team.

Great things happen when he has the ball
Either he gets double teamed and finds the open man or he can hit tough shots. The guy can just flat out score the ball.
i'm leaning towards this
but i’m thinking this kid and lopez could end up blowing everyone elses offers out the water. AND the nets dont take back any bad contracts AND they keep their 2012 pick

Only for Dwight
At this point, i would ONLY accept a trade for marshon brooks if it’s Dwight Howard. I mean I"m sure there are other deals out there that are acceptable that I would say yes to besides Dwight but i’m talking realistic and possible deals here. I’m sure I’d say yes to getting Dwayne Wade and / or Lebron James for Brooks but that will never happen.
what a big win, didnt think this team could hang with the warriors, but they did and dare I say they were clutch down the stretch even with ellis beasting it, deron looked good, still too many turnovers, brooks was nailing his shot, and hump was the star of the game gotta give it to the guy tonight people he really battled and started off slow but finished 8/14 with 18 pts,15 rebs, and 4 blocks.

He most definitely is.
Just hasn’t been playing like one up to now. And there’s still the giant black cloud that spells “unpredictable” above him for the next games. Not something you’d want from your star PG. But the man has amazing skill, and he’ll work over it.

Do advanced stats show MarShon to be a better player than Deron Williams this season? Just wondering.

And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
Sample size is obviously too small, but...
This season, Deron Williams isn’t even in the top-100.
If we expand it to include the games he played with the Nets last season — granted: he was playing hurt — he’s still not in the top-100.
PER says it's pretty close (that's why PER is kind of a joke)
WP48 says it isn’t close at all.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
we GOTTA defend better.
i see it this way. theres offensive efficiency, and defensive efficiency. top 16 for both is good.
we were 17 before tonight, and WILL move up after that good of offense.
BUT WE NEED TO START DEFENDING. we were horrible in our defense. the offense is fine
No interior presence at Center and undersized at the 3 makes it tough to play good D the whole game through, imo

They'll pull the old Knickerbocker trick
Where you the get the star in exchange for 80% of your team. In this case, Lopez and MarShon. King needs to be ruthless, not bow at Orlando’s every desire. Another scorer like Brooks, at his age? Not a chance. Out of the two Brooks, last name Brooks is more valuable, and he needs to stay no matter what.

no trade if brooks is involved
If the magic ask for marshon then the trade should be canceled dwight offense isn’t superior like marshon. No doubt they will get the better trade lopez and marshon combine will give u about 45-50 a night and both combined will get about 18 rebounds and behind that We giving up drafts _ this is giving me a headache talking about I believe king knows what he’s doing he won’t involve brooks hopefully

MarShon is good tonight.. but he was playing against Warriors…
he still has long way to go
Last time I check he scored 20 against the celtics. So its absurd that u said don’t jump on the bandwagon nobody is, is clear that he could score 20 points while shooting about 50 percent from the field.

We need better defense
Deron = almost a triple double
Marshon= close but not so close to a triple double
Hump= 18pts 15rebs 4 blks
and we were still in a very close game. We need more contributions from other players, and limit the turnovers. Ellis had 6 steals.
We can’t expect those numbers from our “Big 3” every night.

Yeah, this is kind of what I'm thinking
If they look like they’re contenders, they won’t trade him. If we could land him in FA without giving up any pieces? Oh hot damn
Playoff is not far fetched in this crazy season.
We had one of the worst schedules so far. We only have an upside, and we’re just 2.5 games back on Nix.
Nix play Jennings who’s been a killer and Denver back to back. 0-2 on their side would be a nice weekend.
Our defense is straight out terrible though
If we were capable of playing lockdown D, I would consider it but we are simply incapable. And our offense isn’t good enough to mask the defensive efficiencies. Offense is very inconsistent too, tonight it was on though.
Well look at it from this point.
Nice month with B-Lo would keep us close to scrub teams.
Then,hopefully D12 for the last 3rd of the season would be a big push to the playoffs.
Marshon actually played good D on Monta today
He was contesting most of the shots very well, but Monta was on tonight.
Bigs didn't step out well enough
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Yea I agreed.
I know everyone loves Hump around here but in all honestly, dude has been pretty awful defensively this season. He can come up with big blocks occasionally (had a couple today), but his rotation defense has been terrible.
but despite the win
this game shows NOTHING to me about improving going forward. we still dont guard anyone worst D in league
sadly me too

"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Marshon brooks will be a 25 ppg player at some point in this league...
Billy king will make sure he finds a 3rd team to give up a valuable piece to the magic.. We won’t have to give up marshon, I’m sure BK knows how real this dude is!
41 points in his last 2 games
Double figures in his last 9 he’s for real.

Don't get greedy.
If Marshon gets us Dwight Howard, then BK will trade him.
Not being greedy..
Everyone is so obsessed with the idea of getting Dwight but honestly I don’t believe Dwight is worth Lopez marshon and a 2012 1st round pick.. Lopez 20+ppg 8rpg potential, marshon 20+ 5 n 5 potential, and then a first round a 2012 1st round pick in a draft that is stacked.. I am definitely not sold on that trade, no way.
Defense?
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.

Neither Brook nor Marshon are good defenders… they aren’t bad. but not good either.
add Howard and that changes

I understand but..
Defense is 95% effort .. Pure Scoring is a skill that cannot be taught.
Plus marshon has the tools to become a great defender at some point in this league its just a matter of him wanting it.
If we are going to get Howard it should be the the first pick and either Lopez or brooks not both.. N ten ofcourse a piece from a third team
Exactly...
So y wouldn’t they be willing to find a 3rd team this time around to be able to keep the promising brooks?
The thing with brooks that has surprised me so much isn’t so much much his ability n skills, it’s the consistency of his play, it so hard to find, he’s been the most consistent player on the team hands down!
Thats actually a good trade
No bad contracts ! I ask thought, while Dwight’s a beast , will he and Deron be as fun to watch as MarShon?

Great game Brooks. You are exciting and I love to watch you play, but at the end of the day maybe you are just saving us a couple of draft picks (and that’s hopeful thinking!)
Fun game, bring on Dwight Howard.

Great night for Nets fans as Knicks lose to Phoenix, ORL loses which should upset DH after his great game.
Just need Dallas to lose later on, to make the Mavs less attractive.
nice win Nets great games from Deron MarShon and Hump!
nice to see what can happen when the teammates play well thus resulting in a good game from Deron. just imagine when we get Brook back and have an inside presence on offense and defense!
Great win boys! a few observations
1. Mark Jackson was definately crying!
2. Monta Ellis looked like he got beat up or something…his face was swollen like he got stung by a bunch of bees
3. Deshawn Stevenson…i like you dude but do you ever take it to the hole? ever? I mean all you do is seriously chuck up 3s….more slashing and defense man
and Brooks is the truth. ROY

That would actually be super interesting. I don’t see a bad scenario for the Nets.
We are going to Brooklyn. We either know we aren’t getting Dwight and trade Deron, trade for Dwight and have Dwight Howard and Deron (who knows what will happen) or sign Dwight in the off-season and have an awesome team.
Marshon Brooks
the thing i love about Brooks is that avery can play him for 48 minutes and the dude won’t get drained. he is soo good at conserving energy while at the same time trashing other teams.
the suns commentator mentioned this
and they were uber impressed
yeah, he kinda looks to play at slow pace, but with high tecnique in every move.

Great interview on NBATV.
He and Morrow are a lot smarter than their tweets would indicate.
The thing is with Marshon, there should be no reason why we should trade him for Dwight.
He was not part of that original deal, so why should he be FORCED to now. All because the kid turned out to be better than expected does not mean that we are forced to give him up, it just means we got a better player than expected. Another thing is, Orlando’s time to make the best trade possible was before the Season. It isnt going to be at the deadline. The closer we are to the deadline, the more leverage we get, not the magic and there should be absolutely no reason that he should be part of a deal. He won’t be a deal breaker because we already made a deal so why do we have to improve it as we get closer to the deadline where the leverage shifts to us.

I really just want the Magic to keep Dwight and sign him in the summer
I hope the Magic get into the playoffs and get bounced quick. But I hope they WIN now.
Our schedule has been BRUTAL so far and we are only 2.5 out of the playoffs.. with no Lopez.
We just need to keep WINNING against bad teams and competing against good ones.
So far we’ve played mostly playoffs teams that are better than us especially w/o BLo so as unlikely as this sounds, if we continue hovering around the 8th spot, in a month when Brook comes back we MIGHT just steal it.

ESPN Trade Machine is a JOKE
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7gayzxx
We will lose 9 more games if we acquire OJ, Randolph, and Tony Allen, and give away Okur, Farmar, Petro, Gaines, and Jordan Williams. JOKE!
First I did OJ and Farmar straight up
and it had us losing 4 more games… so I was experimenting with that trade. NO I don’t think that trade will ever happen unless we have a gun to Memphis. Actually, even then David Stern might veto it.
remember before the season started Knicks are contenders lmfaoo
even i though they would do better then they are doing i though they will be at 6th seat at least
great win tonight
dwill and marshon played great
what happened to morrows hot streak? he went 1-6 from three
but overall it was a great game and good win

Declown had a good game.
But he was a turnover machine…again.
I frankly think that there is something wrong with him.
He has played to his level in no more than 2.5 to 3 total games in the first 15.
Despite the turnovers, if he played like he did tonight, which he should, even 2/3 of these games, we would be over .500.

Dwight Howard trade
Nets get: Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu
Nets give: Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, Mehmet Okur, Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar, 2012 1st
Magic get: Brook Lopez, OJ Mayo, Kris Humphries, Mehmet Okur, 2012 first
Magic give: Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu
Grizzlies get: Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar
Grizzlies give: OJ Mayo
This gives the Magic 3 potential starters and a high lottery pick. They are getting back a lot of young talent.
As for the Nets:
Use the Rockets pick to draft Arnett Moultrie. If that pick isn’t a first this year, use it in a sign and trade for Michael Beasley this offseason.
Deron Williams
Marshon Brooks
Hedo Turkoglu
Micheal Beasley/Arnett Moultrie

A rough day that ended nicely....
At 845 this morning, the meat wagon brought my 87 year old Mom to the emergency room with a fractured hip. Spent all day and half the night in the hospital with her. But I pray that she will recover. Came home and had two shots of Taquila, and then listened to the fourth quarter on WFAN. Ended my lousy day, and her lousy day, with a win against a talented team. Add Brook Lopez to this team, and we aren’t half bad. Surgery for my Mom tomorrow to repair her hip. Hopefully, she will be back to shooting free throws a month from now. She shoots at a better percentage than Dwight. GO NETS. KEEP MARSHON.

Marshon shoots over 50% again, and Deron nearly had a triple double.
The Nets have a pretty legit back court, combining for 16 assist, 16 rebounds, and 46 pts and only 5 turn overs credit Marshon for only 1 turn over.

Lots of thoughts, please read for insight
Today was my first Nets game going to since we had Vince Carter. I had told myself I wouldn’t go to games anymore and we gave up our season tickets as the price was ridiculous (225 per ticket) and the team was dwindling. I am as big a fan as all of you, as you know from my past posts which have received great reception. The Rock is a nice arena for basketball, though I’ve been to Devils games there before.
My thoughts: MarShon, besides for Vince, is the best Pure scorer the nets have had since I can remember (which dates back to the Cassel days). The guy is just a pure scorer, something the nets have always lacked. He has IT.
I was actually very impressed with Shelden Williams, thought he gave some very quality minutes out there tonight. Morrow is also the streakiest shooter I’ve seen in quite some time in the uniform, he either has it or doesn’t.
Overall I was happy to see some of the stuff the same at the arena as it was at CAA, some of the music. I liked the new announcer, but at the same time missed JAAAASSSSON KIDD and Gary Sussman on the mic with VC3. Sad to see the dancers not named power and motion anymore and it is a very different feel to be at a game at the Rock that CAA/IZod.
I was very surprised with the amount of GS fans at the game, didn’t know they had such a big following, probably helped with Lee and Nate on the team. Overall the fate of this team still hinges on Dwight. I won’t panic till game 1 next year, and if he is on the roster or not. I’d really like to see “Swag” here. Deron/MarShon/Harrison Barnes/Humph/D12 is a nice team with some nice bench pieces as well.
As always, Go Nets. Stay positive boys. Good to get the w tonight

Back from the game
Great win, crowd was into it. Someone tweeted me about some “overrated” chants. I didn’t hear them personally, although I did hear a few chants that I couldn’t make out. Given where I was sitting, I wouldn’t be too worried, although that’s pretty despicable. I was also sitting near L&P and didn’t hear much from them at all – pretty sure that area is kind of defunct unless we organize it together as a union.
Billy was sitting with the Russians tonight, laughing it up.
NetsKing and I at one point were near Marshon’s family and rocked it out with them as we rooted on the best player on the floor.

Story of a Nets fan in Westchester: watched the game at the bar with the Knicks game on 3 different TVs and the Nets game on by my request right above our table.
Not a peep in there as the Knicks embarrassed themselves, meanwhile I’m getting animated and FEELING a game for the first time this year.
Maybe the shoot-around at the Rock really got something going. All I know is that this was the first time you felt like they really gave a good effort.
The sound wasn’t on for the Deron Williams interview but he looked happier than he has since he was traded to the Nets.

Yeah Farmar was in
He was on the bench before the timeout just shaking his head and talking to Stephenson. He looked so mad and so upset about everything or maybe just something. He clearly was mad the refs weren’t calling fouls, but he also seemed like he was just upset in general.
Who knows, I didn’t pay it much mind. But at the next timeout, he didn’t join the team at all in the huddle. For the entire timeout. He just sat there while EVERYONE (including Damion James in street clothes) was in the huddle as a team.
After the timeout, everyone joined him back on the bench except for those playing in the game.

After what folks posted about me this evening, I will not comment on this picture above, but...
I will defend Williams on this, he actually gave Brooks a brief, but intense nod of commendation in his post game inty w/ JT.
And followed it with a smile that clearly revealed that he was impressed by Marshon
D-Will has never played with a scorer like Brooks.
Williams has always been the top dog on his team and used to taking the big shots. For him to have success with this team, he and Marshon have to develop a chemistry to where they trust each other and their teammates to hit big shots.
This was the first time we saw it tonight. That smile from Deron Williams tells you he finally saw the potential.
DWill and Marshon have chemistry
It’s the losing that’s got Deron sick & tired.

But Lebron doesn’t go up to espn and tell them to talk about him all day every day..so you can’t really blame him for that. Same with Tebow, Griffin, Brady, etc.

LOL, I keep seeing Marshon's name and Jamal Crawford's name together
I’m sorry, I just don’t see it. People are comparing Marshon to Crawford because they both have smooth jumpers, but that’s where the comparisons end IMO.
He has far more potential than Crawford based almost on length alone. He doesn’t seem as selfish as Crawford has been throughout his career.
Crawford is much more of a streetballer relying heavily on handle to create separation and pull up (Nick Young is similar in that way too).
Marshon leans into dudes and drives on them, and uses his length and touch to hit from unblockable angles.

Speaking of Hump, awesome effort tonight! Some of those blocks were great, and his hustle is much needed!
He is gaining chemistry with Marshon and it is fun to see him get easy looks around the basket.

Hopefully, we can keep him long term for maybe about 5 million a year.
I feel like he has grown as a player with us. Almost like he is one of our rookies that has developed.

I really liked that Marshon played a full game and got 41 minutes. The shortened rotation is starting to payoff. We finally have a flow offensively.

Greatest garbage man of all time
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
I’ve been surprised by his consistency too. His FG% never ends up low and whenever his jumper is off, he ends up by the rim getting layups or at the FT line to get himself going. I don’t see him slowing down unless teams start doubling. He played the same way in college, so its not like this is uncharacteristic. With Morrow backing him up and Avery willing to play 2 PGs, his leash isn’t incredibly long and he’ll get put on the bench if he’s in the middle of a Shumpert like 5-21 night.
That Clippers defensive series was HORRIBLE!

One thing to note about Marshon
5th best rebounding guard in the NBA right now in terms of rebound rate
1. Evan Turner 12.6%
2. Daniel Green 12%
3. Rodrigue Beaubois 10.9%
4. Kyle Lowry 10.5%
5. Marshon Brooks 9.9%

This is the biggest thing for him
He’s really been better than expected, he’s not some Jamal Crawford/Nick Young player since he’s an efficient scorer and he’s not one dimensional like Nick Young (whose career high in assists is 5)
my expected ceiling for him honestly
was Jamal Crawford. great for points which we needed, but didn’t expect such a leader on the court, and a contributer in all aspects. his defense is sure to improve as well, you don’t learn NBA defense overnight.

If Kevin Love doesn’t sign the extension with the T-Wolves this year i’m hearing the Lakers are in play for him. Love is from SoCal and has rooted for the Lakers his entire life and would love to strap on the Purple and Gold. The Lakers are said to be putting a package together of Luke Walton, Steve Blake and Ron Artest that the Wolves are likely to accept because they don’t want to lose him for nothing.
Where will Kyrie Irving sign in 2016? There’s a lot of mutual interest between him and the Lakers right now. Rumor has it that Kyrie likes the Lakers because he’s from Australia and the Lakers are the closest franchise to his homeland.
What about Kevin Durant when his extension is up? My sources tell me the Lakers look like the front runner. They tell me Hollywood intrigues him because he sat through a movie at least once in his life and he really enjoyed it.
Dwight Howard? Lakers.

Hump had a monster game. Playing his position and really being the garbage man. Had some great blocks too.
Deron had a great stretch of games and is starting to heat up. I know that game against the Jazz had us jumping on him but he can lead my team any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Once Lopez comes back, as MarShon said in his interview, those double teams get our shooters more looks it will be a complete team.
We need to tighten up our Defense but a win is a win no matter how it looks.
interesting stat
Nets are 4-2 against teams under .500. 0-9 against teams over .500.
it sucks that we have to face OKC coming off an embarrassing loss to the Wizards. They are going to really want to take it out on the Nets.
that stat isn't surprising
we need to play more garbage teams to pad our record
great win btw, I didn’t see it because of a family emergency but I’m pleased with the box score. MarShon continues to be the best player on the team I assume?
I probably won’t be able to watch the replay either…hell.
and I agree with whoever said the comment up above: I don’t include this kid in any trades
- Orlando should not get more for dragging this to the deadline and screwing us over. We could have already had the Dwight/MarShon/Deron trifecta popping but noooo. Brooks wasn’t apart of the original deal that Otis allegedly signed off on, so he shouldn’t be apart of anything after that. The topic is kind of pissing me off the more and more this kid shines.
- We’re going to need a wing scorer anyway
I’m hoping he comes here in free agency tbh.

ugh my head is messed up
I put two ones lol
Keep the backcourt intact. I think that Brooks will be an elite SG by the time he turns 25. Yeah yeah small sample size but this kid has hit the ground running and he improves from week to week. Its a crime that he isn’t getting any national press because of the state of the team, but maybe its better this way.

lmao
just watched the interview, Brooks always seems nervous in interviews.
glad that he’s here, King is a wizard when it comes to the draft
pfft…if we end up kicking our 1st rounder, he’ll probably draft an all star
Honestly nexts years draft will be easy for any bone head gm
almost every team will have a really good player and be happy. Being able to find talent in a weak draft class is harder and if you can find them on a consistent basis then you are a good gm.
We are in another atmosphere. You're just in the Troposhere we in the Exospere. In other words the JETS are higher than you!

Why we can't trade MarShon:
He’s carving out more and more of a role as the season progresses, so let’s just focus on his past five games as a sign of what’s to come. His numbers over that period: 15.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 3s per game, with 48 percent shooting from the floor. It’s taking him 35.6 minutes per game to get those numbers, so there might not be a ton of room for them to improve, but it’s clear that Brooks already is an efficient scorer and a pretty good all-around contributor. Most amazing to me is that he already has the sixth-best PER among shooting guards; he’s ahead of guys like Jason Terry, Joe Johnson and Ray Allen.
There just aren’t any good shooting guards in the league,. It’s even thinner than Center. Let’s look who’s above him:
Twilight of their career: Kobe, Manu
In their prime: Wade
Young star in the making: Harden
Role player: Daniel Green
This sums it up better: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7323610/the-third-day-nba-christmas
You basically have 9 SG’s under 30 with star/above average potential: Harden, Gordon, Monte, Wes Matthews, Affalo, Mayo, Derozon, Brooks, and KMart. I’d pass on Monte and KMart as they have no desire to ever play D. Mayo is crazy. Derozon can’t make a 3 to save his life. Do not trade this man.
This guy will become an elite SG imo
Giving up him, Lopez, and the #1 would be a mistake. Our #1 could be a legitimate stud player.
Lopez and either the #1 or MarShon. Not both. Yeah its Dwight, but Orlando approved a package that did not include Brooks before. No need to throw him in now.

I'm with the folks saying it's either Lopez OR Marshon for Howard at this point.
Giving up both would be a shame. There’s no harm in liking the players you have and having a bit of continuity from season to season. We shouldn’t be afraid of that. Chicago wouldn’t give up Joakim Noah for Howard. Their stud likes their players and the organization likes them too. I like that.
That said, If you’re Howard, wouldn’t you want to play with Brooks and Lopez? —-ESPECIALLY when that option is on the table.
Marshon Brooks makes me feel like I'm a 10 year old hoops fan again.
He is by far my favorite player. It’s very refreshing to have a favorite player you love to watch play basketball.
