Nets Drop Fifth Straight To Pacers; Humphries To Undergo MRI

PrintUnable to hang with the improved Indiana Pacers without Kris Humphries (shoulder injury), the Nets dropped their fifth straight game on Monday, falling 108-94 at the Prudential Center. Indiana led from start to finish, scoring the first six points of the game and leading by as many as 19.
The Nets were within five early in the third quarter, but just couldn't stop the Pacers, who shot 53 percent from the field and 13-for-21 from 3-point range, making it two straight nights where the Nets allowed their opponent to shoot better than 60 percent from deep.
The Nets shot just 31 percent themselves, getting little beyond Deron Williams 22 points and MarShon Brooks' 21. Brooks came off the bench in the first quarter, but started the third, shooting 8-for-17 and also grabbing seven rebounds. Williams dished out eight assists.
Avery Johnson said Humphries would undergo an MRI Tuesday but said "it doesn't look good", that the Nets leading rebounder couldn't raise his left arm without pain. The Nets also got a scare in the second quarter when Deron Williams met Tyler Hansbrough in a mid-air collision and fell on his ribs.
Jordan Williams made his NBA debut but did not score in nearly three minutes.

Nets this entire year havent gone up by 10 and have fallen behind by 10 in EVERY SINGLE GAME, atleast last we were competive in all games..this year Morrow is horrible..shawne williams is horrible. WHenever we got close they would score

No one even tried to defend the 3
This team let go of the rope the end of the 3 quarter.
Interesting(or sad) Nets Stats
- The Nets are:
-29th in points per game
- 22nd in points allowed
- However, 29th in point differential. On average they are losing by 14 points.
- 29th in field goal percentage.
- 30th in allowing 3 pointers. Teams are almost shooting .500 from 3 point land.
- Nets are only 26th in turnovers though….. They need to work on that.
- Nets ended last season on a 5 game losing streak
- They continued by losing both preseason games
-The Nets are the first team to reach 5 losses this season. So they aren’t last in every category. You know…………. glass half full.

This is pretty much karma on the nets FO
Brook goes down, No Hump, Dwill is playing awful, Morrow isnt the morrow we’ve seen, team cant make OPEN shots
Instead of signing Nene or Chandler and whoever at the 2/3, we decide to go after Dwight. Instead of trying to build a championship like the mavs 1 superstar and very good pieces around him, no, we’re trying to become the Heat,Celtics,Knicks
As much as nobody liked Nene chandler Butler and so on, those guys with Brook and Dwill would have gotten the job done. Then the only thing we would have hoped for is Brooks becoming that 2nd superstar.
Just dont understand whats going on…

Farmar should be our backup pg, he can actually break down the D without dribbling out 20 seconds off the shot clock first unlike gaines.
Hump is hurt, wow, we really have zero athleticism with the bigs on this team

Elephant in the room... Nets need more offense
Say that D-Will gets 20 points and MarShon gets 20 points = 40 points.
We need more scoring. With Hump and Brook we’d normally get to 70 points before the bench and other players.
Right now we have no offense.

i respectfully disagree
i think this squad has more heart than our past teams.
imagine something extremely witty here
was at game and noticed
we were obviously completely undermanned w/o hump (and lopez of course) but showed some hustle and heart. guys are unfamiliar with each other. completely new roster, no practices the last two weeks. can’t judge this team until brook lopez comes back.
until then, marshon is growing (avery said the starting backcourt will be DWILL & Marshon soon), okur will get more comfortable and will be the first big off the bench (when hump and lopez return). shawne willaims and morrow will have to start hitting shots (because it can’t get any worse), deshawn and shelden will find niche hustle roles. not bad.
i learned tonight that to judge the team and the play on the floor now is not only futile, but unfair to the team.

i'm saying this current roster
with injuries to hump and lopez can’t win.
so it just about guys getting reps in and improving until we get our frontcourt back. we have absolutely no inside game right now and you can see the pressure that puts on every single one of our perimeter players.
w’s and l’s are irrelevant for now. the key is that the players keep their chins up and morale high

I agree
I mean we suck, but I don’t think most people realize how much the lack of practice time has affected this team. The lack of defensive rotation and offensive plays screams a lack of familiarity with the team’s system. you can yell “fire avery!” all you want, but any coach would have trouble getting this group of talent (many of which were signed days before the season began) to gel with the lack of time and practices he’s had.
by sheepareevil on Jan 2, 2012 11:39 PM EST up reply actions
yeah it's silly, no coach wins with this lineup
without our bigs we can’t get easy buckets. you need easy buckets in the nba. if you have to grind out every possession you shoot sub 40% and lose.
imagine something extremely witty here
About to watch the game: they were competitive in the first half, what am I going to see in the second half when I hit resume on my DVR?
Regardless of what I see, what I know is that Brook Lopez isn’t here. Okur is actually allowing this team to be semi-competitive for a few quarters but they really need Lopez. I’m a Lopez criticizer but I’d rather have a real center than no center at all.
Without Brook or another post center (DMC but that’s a pipe dream), Morrow can’t contribute in a consistent fashion. Brook will be back in two months and Dwight won’t be traded before the trade deadline if he is traded at all. So I don’t think all hope is lost. There is still time to convince Howard that this team isn’t so awful, if anybody’s really worried about that. There is still time to convince Deron Williams this team isn’t so awful, too.
But yeah, wow, it’s going to suck watching these games. I’m not even sure I want to watch some of the stinkers versus teams like Cleveland, Washington.. can’t blame people if they don’t show up.
Although from what I saw on the TV the crowds weren’t too terrible.. can anyone at the game confirm that?

Anthony morrow is untouchable
Marshon Brooks got moves like Mamba
Ammo is not untouchable
He can not, pass, dribble, play defense and as of right now shoot. Sure u don’t dump him for nothing but in no way is he untouchable. Deron, Brook, Marshon and Hump’s hustle are the only legit pieces. Everyone else is hot garbage or mediocre at best. We need basketball players, not these no iq, non dribbling, stupid fouling, shot clanking, defensive liabily, constantly making the same stupid plays excuses that we have.

Honestly
You guys can keep thinking that Williams is going to stay here, just don’t cry foul when he doesn’t.
Deron’s take is basically ‘well….if they get dwight cool, if not i’ll just bolt down south’.
All that positive nonsense…dead it. There’s nothing positive about a team that doesn’t even look like it belongs on an NBA floor. King surrounded Deron with crap, and Deron isn’t even playing that great.
So…until some smart ass can explain to me why the Nets starting PG was in the locker room of the Dallas Mavericks last season after they won the title, getting tampered with, I call bollocks on the whole dwight thing, and this harebrained plan that the Nets have. Just like the Melo situation, all of this is a bunch of hot air to take attention away from the fact that no one wants to play for this garbage franchise

Gaines has actually given us more value than what his contract is worth
It’s not Gaines’ fault that he has been overplayed by a terrible coach. But Gaines has far exceeded what his contract is worth (which is really nothing), and has been more than a serviceable backup PG. He shouldn’t be a starter by any means, but that is down to Avery, not Gaines.
agreed completely
Gaines hustles, never dogs it, and shows up every night. not his fault he has poor court vision when he drives and gets played 30 minutes a night. we can only expect so much from a player on his contract.

No one on here (I guess besides NI) knows what Billy King and Prokhorov have planned out. Evidently this team isn’t too good, but for the 100th time, there is a plan in place. It’s just going to take time
by JerseysFinest. on Jan 2, 2012 11:57 PM EST up reply actions
and what makes you so sure
this “Plan” will work? It didnt work with Lebron, didnt work with Melo, what are we up to? Plan X?
Lemme break it down for you
LeBron, Dwyane, and CB4 reportedly had it planned since 2008 that they would join together in the summer of 2010 as free agents in Miami. Therefore, no team (the Nets, Knicks, Bulls, Mavericks, etc.) NEVER had a shot at getting him. Plus, the Nets came off a 12-70 season, I’m pretty sure one of the best NBA players isn’t hopping for joy to go there.
Carmelo had his eyes set on the Knicks since it was reported he wanted out. No one can blame the Nets for trying, they were desperate for a star, and it turns out that they lost. Oh well.
King gets Deron Williams, a top NBA point guard. A player that a lot of guys in the league would love to play next to. It’s not the same old Nets. Yes, their performance on court is poor, but unlike the recent past, they have a superstar, Brooklyn is visibly in sight, and Prokhorov hasn’t been shy about his spending. They have accumulated expiring deals that can either be useful in a trade, or will be useful when those contracts come off the books in the offseason. On top of all that Dwight Howard has requested a trade to the Nets. So to answer your question, I’m not sure if this plan works or not.
But I’m sick and tired of everyone on here looking at everything in such a negative outlook. The Nets know that their doing. The losing was expected with this group of guys, they aren’t exactly flowing with talent. The fact the Nets have even gone this far, and scrapped the “win-now” mentality that was rampant at the beginning of the offseason, should tell you something. There is a plan.

I still can’t get over “The Rat” Ratner dismantling the team that was PROUD to have “New Jersey” across their chests, all to save costs to make the Nets a real estate asset in the end. I always wonder what would have happened if the Jon Corzine group ended up with a winning bid for the team and having full intention to keep the team in NJ and continue with the championship caliber pieces in place.

Definitely not sold on Brooks being a future all star.
He’s got a nose for the ball and the rim but he’s also a poor team player and has trouble creating space from a more athletic defender. Good 1 on 1 defender but a lot of dumb decisions trying to be heroic.
You could hope he’ll get better but his attitude is that he wants to be the hero on offense and defense and that could hurt him a lot.
I don't see how

dude you are being harsh on a kid that was the 25th pick
BE HAPPY WE GOT HIM. Obviously if you expect him to become a superstar you will more than likely be disappointed however, HE IS SCORING WITH EASY AGAINST NBA PROS/VETERANS.
he does make ROOKIE mistakes which is expected from a ROOKIE although he is a 4 year college player, a ROOKIE is a rookie, college ball is not the NBA, especially that team in providence.

Billy King sucks. I could blame Avery all day but I know the Nets don’t have the talent to compete. If you give Avery some good players he will still probably make us all crazy but the team will win some games.
Instead we are wasting money on Farmar, Shawne Williams, Petro, nearly 9 million that could be used to sign a player like Andrei Kirilenko.
farmar and petro was Thorn's mistake
Shawne is a 5 mill in 2 years. hardly cap breaker.
Billy is after the BIG price, yes this team SUCKS, especially with injuries to IMPORTANT players and Avery using Dwill as a SG, BUT Billy king has set up this beautifully. We all knew that even with Nene + Ak or whoever we would at best the 3rd best team in the east, which is RESPECTABLE but not enough for our aspirations.
We want Howard AND Deron TOGETHER. Howard ALONE makes you a contender, and if you add Dwill the the equation you can legitimately compete for a championship for the next 5-7 years in Brooklyn. THAT IS THE PLAN.
Of course now everything seems a mess but everything to make that happen is STILL in place.
Gotta have faith and patience!

what are we sacrificing though?
Worse case scenario we go back to rebuilding and they can honestly tell us “WE TRIED GUYS! WE TRIED TO GET DH12/DWILL TOGETHER BUT IT JUST DIDN’T HAPPEN!”
At that point we go back to rebuilding which is fine by me. I guess what I am saying is that the chance to have the best big man in the game + a top 3 PG DOES NOT come very often.. extremely rare. WE have a chance to pull this off, even with everything going WRONG.
I am down with this strategy 110%, although all this bad luck with injuries, players playing like moiso and bad coaching DOES get me down.. but I keep the big picture in mind.
If our attempt at greatness fails, then we’d still have Brook Lopez, MarShon Brooks, a VERY good possibly 1st pick in 2012, another mid range pick, tons of cap space + a brand new arena + move to Brooklyn and whatever pieces we can get by trading Deron if come March he asks out.
Sucks to be 1-5 but it ain’t the end of the world.

BK is just following orders from up top. risky yes, but when considering the plan he’s following, he did exactly what he was supposed to do this offseason. there weren’t better players to be had with the flexibility we were trying to maintain.
If it happens he’ll be redeemed but I think anyone with a brain can do what Billy King is doing. Take a call from Kevin O’Connor and say “sure, I’ll take Deron Williams” and try to convince Dwight Howard through Williams and back channel talk with his ‘people’ that he should come to the Nets.
We’ll see.. he wasn’t very good in Philadelphia which is why I was never a fan of the hiring.
Forget the price
its the Quality here, not the Quantity. These players are pretty bad and you can never compete with them whether there contract is good or not. Why do we have a rich owner again?

MarShon Brooks almost started on Monday night.
Nets coach Avery Johnson heavily considered starting his rookie shooting guard alongside point guard Deron Williams, but assistant P.J. Carlesimo talked him out of it.
is that true?
i believe it.
When Brooks was taken out of the game in the 4th…everyone gave him a hand (coaches and players) minus PJ.
I thought PJ was cool, but he’s a moiso..

DWill, Marshon, DJ, Hump, Lopez
is absolutely a playoff team if we had them all together. Then you’ve got Gaines, Morrow, Shawne, Shelden, and Okur off the bench. That’s actually a pretty nice team.
Dr. J~Super Buck~Draz~JKidd~Deron
Yes that's def a playoff team.
Yes we’re 1-5, but when your best Center is Sheldon and Petro……
If we started DWILL Marshon James Hump and Lopez that’s def a playoff team.
I'd guess a 10th seed
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?" - Al Iannazzone
Sadly i think a 10th seed is the most realistic team
even with Lopez. If we get Howard, just shows you how much more talent we need.
it's actually not a pretty nice team
We’re losing each game by double digits, and when the final score is close, it’s usually pity points. I would say we’re absolutely not a playoff team period, even with a healthy squad. Sorry.
Not the team envisioned to be...
I’m sorry Nets fans. I am a D-Will fan so i guess I will support the Nets (win or lose). I guess we have a great plan before the start of the season, with a great chance to land DH12. I think we are a borderline playoff team before Brook broke his foot. It’s just a series of unfortunate events. It is just a complete BAD LUCK. My gut feel about DH12, he will not be traded to the Nets. It’s unfair to D-Will as well. He is a pass first PG. He is very good at what he do. But how can he be a pass first guy, if there’s no one to pass to?? Morrow, sucks. DJames, sucks. Whoelse? Petro? To satisfy the Nets condition (of having a depleted lineup), he is forced to change his game. He is not a Westbrook-type player. Yeah, for Nets sake, and D-Will’s sake as well, trade him straight up for Westbrook.
FYI, Wesbrook through 6 games is averaging 16 ppg on 38% FG (10% 3PT), 4.8 assists
And that’s on a Thunder team that’s fully healthy.
As he won’t have Durant and Harden/Ibaka/Perkins to lean on but will be playing with our scrubs, Westbrook on the Nets will be doubled as well. That should make things fun for career 42% shooter Westbrook, won’t it.
Now....
try to trade for Cousins. Stinks Dallas signed Yi, we could of taken him for Humps replacment.
Jersey Strong, Brooklyn Ready
The Mavs are looking for all the ex nets out there.
No big Yi is an awful player.

Why keep Farmar in the doghouse coach?
He ain’t a backup PG of a championship team for nothing.. He played well for us last year backing up DH, even started some games when DH went down and he played even better. Since you’ve already restorted to experimenting with strange lineups at this point (starting Gaines at PG, putting D-Will at SG, Holding back on giving Brooks major minutes), why not give Farmar some minutes? Heck, give him Morrow and Petro’s minutes. I wouldn’t mind at all.
I hear alot of y'all talk about wanting Westbrook in the event the nets have to trade D-Will
But I’d much rather have Rondo over Westbrook… Plain and simple Rondo is probably a top 3 PG and with his contract it would put us in a lovely position…. Enough with the Westbrook rubbish he is Devin Harris on steroids and won’t make this team better…. IMO that is

You seriously overestimate the team we have right now.

You bring up John Stockton as if he was known to carry the Jazz without Malone haha!
You had a better debate using Thomas or KJ haha! Most “experts” would pencil the nets in as a playoff team if we had Rose/Rondo/Paul but you really disregard the fact that D-Will picked these ingredients as our GM in training and he played with our “scrubs” like Okur. In actuality so far in this season the only teams really getting off to a good start are the teams had been together for a while.
Yes this team is better than their record and will improve but it’s like I said D-Will has to play at an MVP level almost like Kidd did when he was here for us to be competitive. The fact is if D-Will can’t do that then he should be traded because he wouldn’t be worth 20mil a year compared to the value we would get with rondo’s contract and skill set because rondo would be great with this team.
I really do hope D-Will continues to improve moving forward but I’m not fooled like most people here into thinking he’s truly a top 3 PG this year just yet. We can agree to disagree but if we have to trade D-Will the best PG to get would be Rondo and I know Ainge wouldn’t hesitate on accepting that….
The jury is still out on if D-Will will sustain a high level because I can assure you he won’t get a pass from the media especially if Brooks averages near 20ppg by years end which is very likely…..

We need to get Cousins.
He’s a headcase, but he’s demanded a trade and he doesn’t have a big salary. It’s basically Farmar’s (and they’re actually a little light at the PG position.)
We have no bigs left. We need him to just be competitive.
According to the Kings, he's not available.
And even if he was, there are 28 other teams that can offer a better package than we can. NOBODY wants anybody on our team outside of DWill and probably Marshon. Just sit back, don’t waste money on going to the games and “wait for next year”. If our GM is comfortable doing that, something must be brewing.

Agree but
Regardless whether he’s playing PG, SG, or C – guys need to MAKE SHOTS! He got the bigs a bunch of good looks near the rim, and neither “Landlock” or “French Pastry” (aliases borrowed from another board) could finish. Same with the 3 point looks, we missed a bunch of wide open threes (while Indy made their wide open 3’s).
Guys need to make shots, especially the 3 point shooters when they’re wide open.
Would you make this trade at the deadline?
We trade:
Damion James
MarShon Brooks
Okur
We get
Rudy Gay
that gives us:
Dwill (assuming he stays)
morrow
gay

Lopez
Memphis is 1-3.. I assume they will get better… but if they are having a bad season.. maybe they decide gay isnt best for their chemistry?

Everyone is down on Avery, but is he even driving the ship anymore?
Think about it:
-Gaines is Deron’s buddy from Utah (Deron brought him in). That could explain Farmar’s absence.
- Deron was saying before the season that he would like to play the 2. Now he is playing the 2.

Not the first time I've heard that charge here in ND
but there’s no evidence at all Deron is also playing coach, as much as he’s known to be playing GM.
In one of his most recent interviews, he expressed some sense of confusion with current rotations and line-ups but chalked that up to Avery still figuring what works. Then was it Deron, not Avery, who decided to start Marshon in the 2nd half? If he’s really playing coach too as alleged, then credit that to him, right?
I think they’re letting him play assistant GM because he has a key role in recruiting Howard, the centerpiece of our future plans. But to say he’s also coached himself to give up his starting PG spot and be an undersized SG is still baseless from what I can tell.
Someone mentioned a good point the other day. Maybe this is by design.
Think about D-Wade pre-trio season. Him and bunch of scrubs were just going through the motions ….maybe that is the case now till we get to the promise land.
you don't design to have your starting center get injured
especially if you’re trying to sell him to get the league’s best center

Any chance we could trade DWill for Rubio and Derrick Williams? Then fire Avery and get a coach that likes to play young guys? At least that would be fun.
there is zero chance of that happening

Morrow for Millsap
if Hump is out for an extended period
Morrow still has the reputation of being a good shooter and Utah can be sold on the Morrow is one of the best shooters of all time blah blah who will open up things for Favors/Jefferson/Kanter. It will also be a move that would allow Favors to start full-time.
Millsap is a good rebounder, although not as good as Hump, but he’s much more skilled, with an inside-outside game. He gives us that quality big man with the right skill-set to play the pick-and-roll with Deron.
Millsap could later complement Lopez or Howard. When Lopez and Hump come back, we would be deep on bigs. Or, Millsap is also a veteran Orlando might like later.
Brooks has only played a few games.
So he hasn’t got super trade value or anything. Anyway I wouldn’t do that, nets aren’t competing right now no matter what. While Millsap is decent and a reasonable deal if I remember right. What pick would we use certianly don’t want anything from 2012. The only value Millsap has to this team is in a Dwight Deal, next year perhaps we’ll need another big right now hang on to Brooks his trade value will likely rise.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
not saying we should do it
just pointing out that Milsap has more value that Morrow. Morrow’s value is likely quite limited.
Was hoping Morrow's rep as a shooter
could bring in Millsap.
Looked at the Jazz roster and they have bigs, PGs and wings, but they don’t have that specialist jump shooter we thought we had in Morrow. Millsap is also in the way of Favors starting now.
utah would never do that
even if they want to clear space for favors, they can get much more for milisap than ‘i can’t do the one thing i’m in the league for’ morrow.

Here's a serious question: Is Deron Williams good enough to be given the keys to a franchise in this capacity?
Pseudo GM duties, scouting, recruiting AND carrying the team on the court? I don’t think he can do it all, though I don’t know many that could. I’m not saying trade the man. He’s not that transcendental talent that can will us into an upper echelon like Lebron or Kidd in his hay-day. He just needs help. If we continue to lose and he continues to fail and doing it all, could it leave a sour taste in his mouth? That’s what worries me.
thats a bit of an exaggeration
he isn’t the ultimate decision maker in any of those roles (scouting??)
and if he is indeed part of the process, then he bears some responsibility for what took place.
but the ultimate responsibility is Prokhorov’s. It should be clear that he believes in the superteam strategy. There are plenty of indications that he does.

Like? I haven’t sense much of his presence on this team at all.
i really dont have time
to enumerate them, but remember this, when LeBron, DWade and Bush joined the Miami Heat, he sent a letter to the editor of USA Today congratulating them for deciding among themselves to join together in a superteam.
And he is still paying the bills. The Nets now have NINE scouts to cover everything from pro teams to colleges to international teams to the D-League. They have a D-League operation which because of the lockout has not yet shown its full value. They have six assistant coaches. They have a team chef, a team psychiatrist, two strength and conditioning coaches, etc., etc.

Not saying he's not paying the bills...
but rather he’s not very much involved in the day-to-day operations and probably not involved at all from a player personnel perspective given his more pressing responsibilities with business and politics in The Mother Land.

I admit, listing scouting in his player duties is an exaggeration.
But he carries a lot of this franchises weight on his shoulders. —A whole lot. I fear we’re asking too much out of the guy and he may become burnt out on the franchise. That’s all.
Also, Prokhorov believed in the superteam strategy when he cared about this team. The meat he’s piled high on his plate seems to make the Nets look like small potatoes. Concerning if you ask me.
he wants it.

There has to be a theory behind the madness !!!
Mos of the stuff we’re seeing makes no sense, but at the same time we are not seeing the full picture.
It seems like everyone is comfortable despite all that’s happening. They must know something we do not.
My opinion is that they both, D-Will and D12, know that they will be starting their new Era in Brooklyn. What happens between now and then is insignificant.
The only way to have such inside info is via D-Will. That info grants him whatever calls he needs to make till then …. as long as they preserve the flexibility for the big picture.
please
the theory should be quite obvious. They believe they will get Dwight Howard and everything is directed at that.
If they fail, then they will have more cap space than any other team…as they enter Brooklyn.

It just sorta sucks as Nets fans.
Though we’re lucky as hell to have Deron, we’ve been told to wait, next month is our big month, next season is our big season. It was John Wall, it was Lebron, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard.
Through all the rumors, we continue to march the same mess out onto the court season after season. I expect to see Bobby Simmons and Jarvis Hayes waking up to the scorers table. It’s a lame duck season, for a lame duck fanbase in NJ. I understand that. It just sucks.
How do they know that???
All I’m saying is that if they know anything about getting D12, for sure, it has to come via D-Will. Hence the freedom he has.
And I agree that if all fails they will have the cap, and unlike in NJ, the cap will be worthy in Brooklyn. People will be coming to play there, you better believe that.
Like I said before, Brooklyn will be bigger than any ONE player.
In about 5 yrs, all these dudes will be old, and Brooklyn will be shining for any up and coming star.
Your question really now is whether kicking Deron out of BK's couch
will make him play better? Make him feel better perhaps? And will doing so miraculously heal Lopez now (and while at it, banish whatever has started ailing Hump), because that’s the biggest thing that could really improve this team pronto.
I'm happy to have Deron
but also like honest assessment
1) At best, Deron is the 3rd best PG in the NBA. Derrick Rose has a MVP. Chris Paul has more all-nba selections (3 vs 2) and more player of the month selections (5 vs 1). One could argue Rondo is better than Williams as well (better playoff stats, 3 time all-nba defense selection)
2) Why has Deron played so poorly with the nets? Last season was the wrist injury excuse. I realize our team stinks.. but his ppg, assists, minutes, and shhoting percentage are all down. Is it Avery or Deron or the team in general?
uh, the Nets are awful
TRULY awful.

coming from you
then it truly must be Awful.
This stinks NI. King/DWill made their beds together. This is on their shoulders, isn’t it? And sadly, DWill can easily just walk away from the mess he’s helped to create.
Time after time...
Sheldon Williams and Johan Petro are wide open under the basket. D-Will finds them and they can’t catch the ball. Deron can only do so much.
he's forcing way more than he should
he was never molded into being the shoot first, first offensive option type guy. he was cool spoon-feeding Boozer and hitting Okur and AK on the perimeter on drives through the lane after Boozer pick and roll
with morrow’s shot off, who would you seriously guard on defense, half the guys would drop the wide open pass and the ones that do catch them shoot 1-10 every game and the ones that dont fall in either are either injured or out of shape and cant play heavy minutes

And “deep down not an NY area guy” is the flimsiest bash on Deron I’ve heard/read yet.

It almost seems as if last year he played WAY better even with the wrist injury that had him shooting horribly
In MY opinion, it all comes down to Brook. Watching this Nets team and you can’t help but wonder what the hell they are doing out there sometimes, passing the ball around the top of the key until someone decides to shoot, then it just dawns on you, Brook is one of if not the biggest part of this offense, when you can’t buy a bucket, feed the big man and at the very least he gets fouled. We miss Brook BADLY and it is definitely showing. I would go as far as saying we could be 4-2 if we had Brook.

Uh, Phatman, have you watched the last two seasons? The Nets offense in general consists of dribbling until someone decides to shoot.
Without Brook that's ALL they can do though. Morrow can't dribble worth a damn
James gives up any open look he ever sees. Okhur hesitates after just about every look, Sundiata tries his hardest but dude is just not very good. No words can describe Petro.

any flaws Deron might have
are glaring when he doesn’t have a supporting cast. For me, the no look pass to Okur who then hit a three is indicative of what he can do with good shooters and familiarity. Noe the pressure is on him to score, create his own shot and somehow make the team better. He would need a small miracle to do all this, especially with the entire other team in his face.

You’re tripping..
I don’t like D-Will’s attitude or body language and I’m sure it has contributed to his sloppy play but it’s hard to blame him.
You think you’re bored watching these games? How bored do you think Deron is PLAYING with these bums?
fine than we should trade him
he doesnt want to “rebuild” and clearly we are rebuilding
let him take his talent elsewhere.
Um.. what about Dwight Howard? What reason do you have to think that 5 games have convinced Dwight Howard to change his mind about wanting to come to the Nets?
why even pretend at fairness, orangeater?
Deron definitely has his flaws but you seem to just want him out no matter what.
We’re trying to rebuild with Deron and the Dwight project. If you don’t like that plan, then alright, but don’t pretend you’ve never head of that plan.
It is a risky plan
Sure it may work.. but it also may not. Dwight is a fickle guy.. He may not want to join the Nets after we have such a bad year
In addition, maybe Deron gets sick of the NY media and decides he wants Dallas or another small market.
If the plan works, great! But I also remember having a plan to get lebron and melo
General question I guess
but does Dallas qualify as a small market? I not sure how the media dynamic is down there but there would certainly be national media involved
by cprash on Jan 3, 2012 11:37 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
probably not.. I may have misspoken
But Deron has gone out of his way to say how high taxes are here and the cost of living is higher. . in that regard, Dallas is “small market-like”
Free pass? Everybody's pointed that out, including himself
That needs to improve definitely but he’s not getting a free pass there.
36%‘s bad? Everybody’s favorite Westbrook is shooting an amazing 37-38% with a full-strength Thunder and they still want to trade for him as if he won’t be doubled here too with our current line-up.
36% is HORRIBLE
westbrook is mentioned because he is a young player we can conceivably get in exchange for williams
broken wrist?

yes you may criticize him, orangeater
isn’t that what you’re doing now
D-Will never asked to be his team’s leading scorer. He is over-compensating because no one else on this team can do anything for themselves.
Of course he is going to shoot badly.
So Deron is basically useless without a good team?

He needs the role players on this team to do what they do best and hit some threes.
Once this happens his game will open up and it’ll become easier for him to score.

Okur probably our 3rd, but I’m wary to even call him ‘3rd best’ as he’s not even that good. Serviceable but not good. Hopefully he gets better to become at least good.
I can't some believe people are down on Marshon Brooks.
He is the one bright spot of the season so far.
I’m not DOWN on him. He’s just not our second best player yet, not when he makes the stupid kind of mistakes that cost us a game the other night.
that one was def a team error
no one seemed to know they were out of timeouts and the coaches didnt remind them at t he earlier timeout. id rather see Marshon brick a bad shot once or twice a quarter than see Sundiata constantly getting smacked around driving to the hoop.

In that ATL game
I forgot who said it maybe it was the Czar, but I am paraphrasing this
“Does He[Brooks] realize he is going up against Joe Johnson?” That statement says a lot to me. This kid has a lot of confidence and we need to admire this and not use the rookie rules on him. Dont forget that he had 0 points last game. you would think that would hurt his confidence let alone get benched the rest of the game. But he came out and score 20+ points.

To tell you the truth, I'm not really worried
I just don’t see how it can get worse..
1. Lopez is out. Hopefully now, he will get some respect. He was our only low post option and a great one. It’s a completely different game when you can run your offense from the inside out.
2. Hump, Stevenson, Shawne all playing themselves into shape.
3. Deron, Morrow and Shawne and the team as a whole cannot continue to shoot so pathetically. And Deron in generally is not going to continue to be as bad as he has been.
4. MarShon Brooks has looked so much better and so soon.
5. Okur is starting to warm up and D.James is finding his niche.
6. I like our defense. It’s been consistent and the effort has been there most of the time. We’re very active on the defensive end and competitive on the boards.
Defense is very suspect
We have our spurts, but a defense that gives up the most 3pts cant be likable
The defense is actually the worst part...
We’ve been absolutely abused inside and out.
- Lots of open, uncontested threes
- Not getting around screens
- Poor help side D and poor team D (case in point: Brooks on JJ vs. ATL)
- No interior D (case in point: absolutely abused by Teague getting in the lane)
Defense is where it should all start and we’re doing an absolutely terrible job.

an average PG and Lebron at SF
Chris Paul and our current roster (no DWilll)

Devin Harris and our current roster (no Dwill)
my guess:
Lebron- 32-34

Paul 14- 52
Rose 20-44
Harris 12-54
Nice, I’d love to see the highly advanced mathematical statistics you used to come up with your guess/projection
pass what you smoking Brah ....
must be good s&&t
Lebron- 24 – 40 – ranked him lower because he would have zoned out and given up
Deron- 12 – 54 – already zoning out and giving up; weak leadership
Paul- 14 – 52 – probably do a little better moving the ball around, better shooting
Rose- 26 – 38 – wouldn’t quit; would probably will a handful of wins singlehandedly
Harris- 10 – 54 – …
If Lebron is here, we win at least 30 games

Like I said...
He’d will a handful of games and his overall leadership and attitude would put us in a better position.
Deron is showing absolutely no leadership right now and has played without heart for long stretches of every game so far.
2006-7 Lakers?
42-40 Kobe .199 win shares, 1st team all-nba, all star, all star game MVP
It seems Kobe helped win some games
Possibility?
King has figured out that our rookie Brooks is the real deal; I think we all can agree on that much. Now if Dwill really knows that D12 is coming as a FA after a short season then here is the plan.
Lopez gets hurt and is out long enough for the team to amass enough loses to help us get the number 1 pick in the draft. Hump’s getting hurt only helps that cause.
We end up keeping Lopez and having Brooks aka Swag, Dwill and D12 going into BK. Through in Okur, Hump, James, and Morrow for our bench. Dwill may not like the losing, but if thats the plan it could be well worth it if the plan works.

i didnt expect to win we dont have lopez or hump
But our close outs are terrible also i consider this year to be damion james rookie year as well.
Our bigs are so sad its unfair to even expect anything from them watch the game and see how many passes are bigs get down low to end up with a terrible attempt
When its all said and done defense wise were a better team than that

Shelden Williams
Needs to stop taking turnaround fadeways, hook shots, layups – in fact, he should only dunk because every time he goes to make a shot, he always airballs by like 3 ft. It’s straight up embarrassing.
yea at this point all we got is petro and shelden
And it get ugly when they try to do things down there
Okur is what he is nothing more on him
by Pure baller15 on Jan 3, 2012 12:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
SheWill should be banned on shooting, period.
Unless he can potentially dunk the ball, he should not be allowed to look at the basket when he has the ball.
yeah...
He had a lot of good hustle plays yesterday. Really good at bouncing the ball off of people
Yep he actually looks good when he hustles, blocks, etc.
But as soon as he shoots like he’s Brook Lopez …. it makes you forget all the good he did. He should not shoot, period.
They were blocking shots like crazy though last night lol

Hope everyone who was "ALL IN" for the dwight or bust plan is happy!!!!!
The FO has basically said, who cares about our last year in NJ and the fans who’ve been coming year in and year out even though besides a 4 year run we sucked!!!!!
It’s all in on dwight, and if we dont get him the thinking is “meh, so what, we’ve got alot of capspace and some great picks”
Well that’s fools gold!!!! The draft pick rarely works out, even if we get the #1 pick it’s never a sure thing, and the capspace is for what and who to come here…..dwill will bolt if we dont get howard, and then what’s the draw? Brooklyn? Yea thats nice and all but players want to play for a winner, not come to a team because their lockers are made from the finest wood.
just 3 weeks ago i was screaming for Nene and a sf like butler or ak!!!!! Now look at us, the plan of we dont want a consistent 4 or 5 seed, we want to be a champion…..well guess what, we should have looked at it from the opposite side of the spectrum, would we rather be a consistent 4 or 5 seed or a perrenial loser constantly in rebuild mode??? Cause that’s whats coming ladies and gentlemen!!!
Dwill/Farmar/Gaines
Brooks/Morrow
Butler/Djames/Shawne
Nene/Hump
Brook/Lopez/Sheldon
even with all the injuries right now our lineup woulda been
dwill/brooks/butler/nene/sheldon as opposed to what now may be dwill/brooks/djames/sheldon/petro(with hump possibly out)
Chew on that for a second if you will!!!!

Dwight would be nice, sure. But i am excited to see D-Will, Brook, Marshon actually get a chance to meld.
And i am a fan of watching Rookies come in and grow. If Billy picks another as well as he did with Marshon, then cool by me.
The franchise is not any worse off than it was last year. Injuries aside, we have definitely improved.
Brook-Brooks-Brooklyn
LET'S DO THIS!
Dude wake up!!!
Brooklyn if a way different animal compared to NJ, it’s a fact as much as I hate it.
There will ball games there regardless of what happens. As far as draft stuff ….Proky is not building from scratch, he just wont. D12 and Dwill is almost a certainty considering how calm our approach is, but even if that does not happen, cap space is gold when we get to Brooklyn.
Again, Brooklyn is not Swamp. We’ll be balling once we get there.
The sad and stinky part is that us fans are being screwed till then. And NO I would not want to be a consistent 5th place and 1st round exit team year after year.
I would rather win one championship and suck for 5 or more years if I have to .
We should've had Lopez
If we had Lopez, we’d be 4-2. He was such a big cog in the machine in terms of how this team runs.
We haven’t really practiced together.

I'm glad we took this risk
This franchise just is flat out unlucky.
In order to change the mentality of this franchise the only thing left to do is to be aggressive and force it to be successful.
Not to mention the the reward far outwaighs what we would lose.
Worst case scenario would Lopez, 2 very good picks in a good draft, Brooks, and a ton of cap room with a decent free agent class plus an attractive new building in brooklyn.
Not to mention that if we woul’ve gotten NENE or whatever he would probably play poorly for this franchise, people tend to forget how to play when they come here lol.
But in the end this just my humble opinion.
Boston???
I don’t care what the record is. Not happening. (OTOH, I do remember beating Boston that time during the 12 win season…)

it also helps those teams are fielding competent rosters
with little to no changes that affect chemistry/play style
nets have 5 new guys who have instantly been thrown into the heart of the rotation, most were acquired 2-3 days before the season started in a lockout offseason
and if you want to count injuries from last year, D-will and James have very little chemistry with the team as well
Hump, Morrow, and Lopez do and only one of those guys is healthy right now.
lets put it like this, they calculated every risk versus the reward for getting Dwight and planned on none of the risks actually coming to fruition. But now almost all of them have and the plan appears to be self-destructing as the season goes on. However we wont know that until the trade deadline or free agency if Dwight does somehow make it here not during but after the season

What are D-Will's options?
Except for Dallas (which I think it’s legit) there is nothing else for him out there.
As of Dallas, he would have to leave 25mill on the table. He’s not leaving that money, and he already told us that endorsements do not bring him much of the money.
25 Million guaranteed are not chump change, not even for D-Will.
But even in the worst case scenario, players will come cause we will be in NY. Brooklyn is just a crazy place for sports, and once Jersey it’s out of the equation, Brooklyn will support the team like “out of this world”.

He did say that as one angle, but from another angle tells you that he's not that flashy where he can make on endorsements.
On the other side, D12 will make the money via marketing, especially in the global terms.
That no tax stuff is not that real. Tax only applies on the half of the games played. You still have to pay tax on all away games. There is no way D-Will can make that 25 Mill over there. He’s just not.

I'm afraid for DAL too
and when you are D-Will, options will sprout out of thin air…
Also, whatever options he would have, would look a lot better than the options that Nets would have.
Another team as a DarkHorse I would be scared of, is Boston.
They can swing Rondo for fillers, shed contracts (they have a bunch of expiry and can use amensty) and sign both D12 and D-Will.
But again, I don’t see D-Will leaving in no scenario. And D12 is not finished yet. We are still on the drivers seat. I will not change my stance till D12 has signed a new contract with another team.

Happy though they are with the result, one also must take it with a grain of salt. The Nets may be the league’s worst team right now; they have not held a lead in either of their two home games, and, playing without starters Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez, are so desperate for offense that at one point they ran three straight isolations for Damion James.
true statement
injuries, lack of practice, lack of chemistry, lack of being able to put the ball in the basket and lack of playing defense for 4 qtrs leads to all of that.

honestly
I hope that playing in this environment doesn’t screw Brooks up.
Net fans continually downplay the impact being apart of an abysmal and dysfunctional team can have on young players.
There’s no more excuses, no more anything. The Nets have proudly fielded the WORST TEAM IN BASKETBALL for 2 out of the last three years.
I don’t know about you, but enough is enough. If the Nets want my money or viewership, they need to put a product on the floor. They haven’t cared to do so in 5 years so why should we as a collective give them support. Let them go into Brooklyn with this b.s., they are being KILLED in the local and national media.
They have a plan and it is rational (even if it does not work)
We can wait another few months to see how this all turns out. If nothing else, our draft pick is already a valuable asset!
their plan
is ballsy, yet it appears very half baked and will result in either a feast or famine.
Again, if the Nets don’t already have an agreement in place with Howard and his agent, they are beyond idiotic.
I’m going to check out as far as investing time and interest until Lopez comes back, or a trade is made. Otherwise, regardless of injuries, they should be embarrassed.
They don’t give anyone a reason to come out to watch them play.

2) we get Brooks, Lopez, and another very good pieces (Top 5 pick hopefully with Bking’s history, he makes a move where we send other pick and cap space to move up for another lottery pick)
We will be ok.
how am I wrong? read what I said
If the Nets want my money or viewership, they need to put a product on the floor.
That’s a reasonable demand from a person who has been, as of this year, a fan for two decades.
There’s nothing positive about being the worst team in basketball. I’m embarrassed that people even know that I root for this septic tank called a basketball franchise. I’ve had enough frankly. I love the Nets, but I’m not gonna get worked up over them. Killa had the right outlook and approach to this, he was saying that the team was a joke and people lambasted him. He was 100% right. He called it when he said that we’d go into the season with dog spit. Keep thinking that Deron won’t be in Dallas next season either dude.
We heard all of that stuff that you’re saying in the 12-70 season.
If the Net whiff on Dwight and lose Deron, they will not be okay. Lets be realistic here. They will be ridiculed and they will be set back for ten years at least. I’m pretty sure that the Barclays won’t pay for itself so good luck to Prokhy.

the worst part
we trade for Deron, and people bombard me and other fans constantly with the ’he’s leaving you guys". I can’t even answer back “no he isn’t”!! I can’t say a damn thing.

Damn right.
Here I am, already locked into a 3 year contract for season tickets at Barclays wondering “what the hell have I done?” As a big fan/Brooklynite, I felt like I had to get in on the ground floor. But for what? It’s quite possible that this current “team” for lack of a better word may actually be better than what’s paraded out on the floor next season.
I sure hope I’m wrong but right now I feel like I “got got” and have no one to blame but myself.
jesus christ
three years?
And there’s no way for a refund, I’d imagine
They’re a bunch of con artists.

Yup, 3 years.
Rumor has it the Nets marketing department’s hold music is “No Vaseline” by Ice Cube.
