Deron Williams Doesn't Like The Prudential Center
by NetsDaily on Jan 21, 2012 11:25 PM EST
Email
PrintAfter Saturday's loss to the Thunder dropped the Nets to 1-5 at the Prudential Center, Deron Williams made it clear that he's not too fond of the Nets' home arena.
"I don't like this arena one bit," Williams said. "It’s a good thing it’s not our arena next year."
Williams' primary issue is the Rock's shooting background. "Even last year, it just doesn’t feel like our home arena," he said. "I don’t know why. ...It just doesn't have good vision."
Anthony Morrow feels the same way. "The background is way different," Morrow told Stefan Bondy. "It’s cold. The background is way different. It’s like six miles back."

who cares
neither does the organization we r out of jersey after this year. he’s not leaving the team bcuz of the arena as next year the arena is done.
he also calls barclays “our arena”
its bc majority of the fans at cheer for the opposing team.
Id feel the same way. Especially when the knicks come. Its mre of a knick homegame than nets.

exactly i can't believe everyone turning on d-will
Jets Nets Mets
Islanders Gators
Can't get mad at either comment.
At least they didnt blatantly say “the fan support is bad”, which is another factor of course in their distaste for The Rock.
I think it's fine.
actually
He is probably being nice…the lack of fan support is probably a huge issue for him, as it has been for many former Nets like JKidd. Still, Brooklyn should be a different story entirely.

i was at the game tonight section 6
I mean there were OKC fans defintely, but a lot of nets fans and the arena was pretty packed. I wouldn’t say sell out but at least 15,000 fans maybe?
Trust me, we would’ve cheered a lot more but there was nothing to cheer for.
We shot 30% FG as a team and 13% from 3 point land with a lot of turnovers and bad passes (Dwill and Farmar and Humprhies). The execution tonight on plays was horrendous…we did NOT look like a real NBA team. Did you realize that OKC didn’t even play well??? Durant was quite for the entire 2nd half, it was only Westbrook and the rest of the bench on OKC that was hurting us.
If we played even half as well as we did against PHX or other teams we would’ve won this game. OKC only scored 86 points and our defense was HORRIBLE tonight, if we only made our shots we could’ve won this game…..
look
I love the Nets, but that crowd didn’t cheer much when JKidd, Carter or RJ were there…except the playoffs, it has been known as a very quiet and ahem “late arriving” crowd for years.

I understand the frustation with the comments towards DWill and others
But IMO they’re right and it’s factual. The arena is still primarily a hockey arena. Not that it’s an excuse they should use, but it’s still the facts.

the d-will hate is ridiculous

I agree
But he should keep these things to himself or management, doesn’t help team/fan morale one bit with his constant whining and complaining..
Morrow also voiced his displeasure to be fair
"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."

But dwill is always the one complaining about things around here
“Offense sucks”, “Arena stinks” etc… Not that he’s wrong but he needs to start focusing more on what he and the team he doing on the court and improve this situation rather than complain/whine his way through things,its not going to solve a thing
I agree with that his leadership skills need a fixing most definitely.
"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."
here's another couple of facts:
Deron has been playing like moiso and providing zero leadership. Will he be mentioning THAT soon?

no excuses, but positive
i think the point is this about these comments:
1) no1 should interpret this as him wanting out
2) the issues probably are true…
3) but because the other team is also dealing with the arena issue, you cannot attribute losing to it.
Yup
This board is losing its community. Guess ND gotta do what he’s gotta do
Somebody said "FAIR WARNING"
He made it clear
that he was here to antagonize people. He thought he was being funny, but he wasn’t.
I don’t care how you feel about the Nets, and I don’t care if you’re a fan of another team. But when all you do is try to push people’s buttons, you’re a troll.

we lose deron isnt good…we win he great

So this season is not only injuring our players but is also exiling our fellow members...
a truly sacrificial season.
I look at it this way there are teams like the Lakers Knicks Celtics loosing games just as bad as us
With no key injuries makes me feel a little bit better.

For those upset with the comments from the players. Check the stats.
Morrow shoots better away from The Rock than at home (36% at home to 44% away). The 3 wins we have this year are from away games. Again no excuses tho.

agreed
Westbrook doesn’t really pass. Don’t get me wrong the times he did tonight it was an alleyoop to durant but he is more a dribble around for 5 seconds and shoot a jumpshot when you least expect it.
Dude is so fast though, saw him tonight at the game. If you think he’s fast on TV in person it’s a blink of an eye.
he isn't overrated
he’s still a top PG in the game, it’s just the circumstances now are making him play worse

im watching him game after game on his own
and all he has does year after year is get better, his stats improve every year, rookie of the year, then all star, then mvp. has no other all stars or game changers around him, no durant and westbrook, the type of conversation that initiated this discussion.
by Andrew Flynn on Jan 22, 2012 12:27 AM EST up reply actions
to be fair
the bulls team is much better talent wise and dept wise.
Rose has many different and talent blocks to work with. I don’t think I need to list as we all know who they are.
We have Dwill, Lopez (out), Brooks and that’s about it.
Honorable Mentions:
Hump
Morrow
Stevenson
Okur
Everyone else should never start or play a lot of minutes on a solid NBA team.
oh yeah everyones deeper then the nets thats not up for debate, nets are prolly the worst team in the league, and its only a matter of time before washington has a better record then them
but im not comparing the bulls to the nets, im comparing rose to the rest of those superstars mentioned and proving that he does in fact take over games by himself and is the leader of that team and is the only reason that team isnt lost offensively is the plays he makes when they need him most.

So the Nets completely healthy versus the Bulls and both without Rose or Deron. You guys think the Bulls would win that? I think the Nets have the edge because of Lopez.

It’s hard for anyone to get behind this team, location has nothing to do with it. The Nets are still recovering from the 12-70 season and D Will aside the Nets have not made any head way in trying to improve themselves on the floor. Remember that it wasn’t too long ago that Yormark ran a marketing campaign giving away jerseys for the teams the Nets were playing. What’s that tell you. Why are we surprised, that when we go to home games there are more fans for the other team than ours, when it was only 5 years ago that even though the crowds where small, fans were ours.

yeah, Utah has a great crowd

But the nets are not bringing it when they play at home. Games get boring and the fans remain quiet the whole game. Ive seen games where the nets were playing great ball and the fans were great. Look at knicks fans they boo their team lol
Todays game had a big croud but it was a rather boring game while the nets were down 10 the whole time. Nets need to make huge runs and show some highlight to get the croud going.
yeah and thats knicks problem
u think that boo’ing is helping their players? they make the issues WORSE! thats why there is always changes. thats why msg is a home court for other players bc the fans as delusional as they are about their team, they bail out on their team. nobody wants to hear thousands of boo’s from their home crowd. they think theyre proving a point by boo’ing? they make it worse for melo bc the honeymoon is over. and i enjoy every bit of it

My friend is saying should we trade for Amar'e if the Knicks wanted to but we dont have to give up Deron
Would you guys do it? If we got to keep Deron and make a Big 3 with Deron, Mare and D12?
not possible
cap space wise. Amare makes too much. Plus dude is getting old and beat up

The Knicks need...
… a point guard. Why wouldn’t they ask for D-Will? It doesn’t make sense… unless they think Jordan Farmar is the answer… I vomited a little in my mouth typing that.
Deron is a curmudgeon! He complains a hell of lot!
Was at the game tonite and brooks was pumping the ball way too long. Same thing with Farmar, his decision making was atrocious.

Weird that the arena issue was not brought up last season. But i do see his and Morrow’s point, its not a basketball arena by any means.
No idea guess becasue they were coming back
"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."
Anyone see "Hoosiers"?
Remember at the end when Gene Hackman had the team measure the height from the rim to the floor and it was ten feet. Guess what? It’s ten feet in every NBA arena. I’m still a fan of D-Will and probably will be even if he left, BUT the whining can be a bit overbearing.
You know what solves everything though? Winning. I think when Bropez comes back and with the schedule getting relatively easier, the Nets will start actually winning a bit more consistently.

guys..... what is happening to the knicks is really scaring me.
Billy should take note of this.
We can’t trade our whole team for Howard.
We need to keep at least one piece out of Lopez/Brooks/pick.
The Knicks' problem...
… is that they have two of the best finishers in the league, but no facilitator. Plus Melo and STAT basically work in the same space. And at the lead guard position, the answer isn’t Shump and it sure as heck won’t be B-Diddy.
Howard and Deron is not Amare and Melo
Howard is the 2nd most dominant player in the game and transforms a defense. Amare and Melo are ball stoppers and chuckers who don’t know what defense is.

I understand that.
My point is, why settle for very good when you could be the best?
I know what he means on a smaller level obviously… the main court at my school was so far in the middle and the wall was WAY back… airballs all around. It was such a strange feeling. It did mess you up when you went to a “good” hoop too, because you were trying to re-adjust to a normal feel.
"LeBron puts up great numbers, can't close w/o DWade. LeBricked 3 late 3s when shouldve been driving, getting to line. What else new?"
Yet casual basketball fans think he is a God, and would exhaust their entire squads to land him...
So nobody is bashing Morrow for supporting Williams’ opinion? Of course not.

When your team is being destroyed by 20 every home game it hard to cheer. The arena basically explodes when MarShon does something good. He’s what Net fans are excited about. Either way he was talking about the structure of the building not the fans so we are beating a dead horse

at least we got bobcats tomorrow thats much easier

i really hope not. the bobcats should be an easy win. they did beat the knicks i think. but then again the knicks are a mess right now. they have two “stars” with by national media accounts a ROY nominate in slumpert and have 2 more wins.
they should be easily over .500 and 3rd or 4th best team in the east.

as much as Deron is whining and making excuses, it obviously wasn’t meant to diss the fans or the crowd support. just the physical structure of the arena, which was built for hockey, not basketball.

i mean come on, i love the nets and when they do well (in little spurts) the crowd is into it. There’s always other team fans but the nets fans outnumber them by far. it’s just sad that we have very little to cheer for during home games.
ironically, the best game crowd wise i’ve ever been to in the last few years was our first win in the 12-70 season. the entire stadium was packed for a game against two teams way under .500 to get our first win. the crowd was electric.
poor excuse

Yup
The Nets are just now about eight weeks away from the trade deadline and five months away from free agency. In the meantime, they continue to bide their time by losing.
The Nets, who dropped another Saturday to the Thunder, 84-74, remain confident they’ll land Dwight Howard to open the Barclays Center doors because, among other reasons, they represent the best chance for Howard and Deron Williams to sign maximum deals and realize their collective aspiration of playing together.
The Mavericks, who have cleared cap space to reportedly make a run at this year’s top free agents, including Williams, would have to do some serious — perhaps impossible — maneuvering to fit both Williams and Howard under the cap.
A league source said the Nets are not shopping Williams, and refuted an ESPN report that Williams has designated three locations – Knicks, Mavericks and Lakers – where he’d like to be traded if he decides not to re-sign with the Nets.
Williams, a longtime opponent of sourced reporting, was also skeptical of the ESPN story.
"Did you hear it from me? We don’t need to talk about it then," he said. "Another one of these sources. Sources. I don’t know who sources are."
Pressed further about his reported list of preferred teams, Williams said, "We play Oklahoma City (Saturday night), right? We’ve got Russell Westbrook (Saturday night), Kevin Durant and Co.?"
"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."
Didn't deny it. He sidestepped it.

i actually might agree with. this isn’t utah where all you have are utah fans. this is the tri state area my man. you have many different sports fans with the devils, rangers, mets, yankees, giants, jets, and not even mentioning the philly teams and boston teams. you need to perform well and get wins for fans to really support long term.
the home games this season has mostly been packed, just very little to cheer for. if deron williams wants to go to the knicks and think this is bad, wait till the fans at the garden boo him off the court.
Darnit, I thought there was a filter. That’s why I post in the FORUM. Please don’t ban me NetsDaily. I like my job here. Please change offending word to MOISO!
Deron needs to realize this isn't the area to lash out like this.
This isn’t Utah anymore this is the New York Area where everything is magnified. I was really excited for this guy but he is really dissapointing on the court thus far. The guy needs to show some toughness and leadership right now not show guys like Morrow its ok to make excuses. Deron just really needs to shut up and play his game. He is good enough to help this team win some games he is just cheating himself. Be a man and step up when times are tough basic life lesson.

yea im pretty new
i used to read netsdaily a lot but i never posted and during the summer i thought it was dumb because of all of the barclay’s center updates and deron playing in turkey stuff so i thought it was just like a regular blog (i also use stampedeblue (colts blog)) and i had no idea it would be like this so vocal and just fun and now i see how awesome it is and im on here almost 24/7 whether its reading or posting, and BEFORE NetsDaily i used to read NetsAreScorching a lot and that is nothing compared to NetsDaily im glad i found this site because i can express my ideas and feelings about the Nets since i really don’t know many Nets fans

i used to read it everday
and i thought it was the only Nets blog and i still read it sometimes because its more of analysis where as NetsDaily is just posting info and having the fans discuss it
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
I value both approaches but ND can be a little overwhelming sometimes because of how over emotional everyone is. Debates are supported more here by which poster is more liked by his fellow peers than who has the best evidence to back up their argument. In those cases I go to NAS

its nice to hear from an unbiased analyst who uses the facts rather than their own personal opinion on a player or situation

i havent even been here that long
maybe 2 years and change but i don have 8000 comments to my credit(10000 if you count deleted ones)
its just the repeated memes are destroying my notion to comment. now i just come for the games, hope for a win, and wait until Lopez is back.
done speculating on who’s doing what or who’s going where because I am not in position to find out anything important before something big happens. whatever happens happens. Dont know one current player besides Lebron that could carry this roster. Doubt if Dwight decides to go the KG route and instead take the 4 year deal until he is 30 then a 5 year one and put himself in a better position to win.
Melo screwed up by wanting his money. Dwight and Deron know that if he comes via free agency then they can be instant contenders for years

Man is this story ever outrageous. Deron sure makes it very hard to root for him as a player, doesn’t he? Sometimes I get the feeling he hates the Net and he’s being as obnoxious as possible in hopes that we’ll give up. But I know rationally that just doesn’t add up.
by mytoemytoe on Jan 22, 2012 1:11 AM EST via mobile reply actions
If I want to be like Broussard, I could say DWill says he'll be playing in Brooklyn next year:
Williams said. “It’s a good thing it’s not our arena next year.”
Did any one else notice the positive take about Brooklyn?
Imagine similar remarks from possibly DWill’s agent about other teams and you have the making of a deceptive ESPN headline story.
Good enough for me Jerry, although it doesn't take much for me to stay positive!
If Deron helps us get Dwight, we will all kiss the ground he walks on and not treat him like he is evil!
That being said, PLEASE PLAY LIKE A STAR DERON!!!!!
A league source has denied the Broussard story and also verifies that there have been NO DWill trade discussions according to Bondy.
Bondy has also said (in a tweet) that he doubts DWill is Broussard’s source.
If Stein and Broussard ‘s source is his agent, it has much less significance. Agents are supposed to be looking out for all possibilities. If Lopez ends up like DJames, I wouldn’t blame DWill’s agent for looking around.
It was there in Bondy's OKC wrap up at 11 PM last night, but removed at his 2 AM revision.
Andres first posted tweet last night, that some of us verified in the story:

Apparently Bondy investigated further.
Maybe Bondy will have a separate story today.
Key words: OUR ARENA
As in the arena that he and his team will be playing in next year. Deron knows the big picture is still what matters. I don’t know about you guys, but I get pumped every time he talks about Brooklyn. Gives us some hope.
crazy idea?
so I have a crazy idea which might work. Miami is 7-0 without Wade. They don’t really need both Lebron and Wade on that team to succeed. But they would love a good PG so we trade Deron Williams and Morrow and get Wade. We keep Lopez and Brooks and move Brooks to the 3. So our lineup would be
Lopez
Hump
Brooks
Wade
Farmar? maybe draft a solid PG this year or trade for a PG?
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
trade
maybe trade Farmar, Stevenson, and picks or Farmar and picks and get a PG….maybe Rondo if we give enough picks to the Celtics?
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
hmm
Lopez
Hump
Brooks
Wade
Rondo
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
I know
I know it won’t but sounds fun LOL. since D-Howard trade looking tough
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
Dwight is coming here
I believe if I say it enough it will happen!!
well anyone in the NBA is tradeable, maybe except Nowitzki cuz Cuban is in love with him
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
maybe
I hear what you guys are saying, trust me, its a crazy thought. But let’s think outside the box for a second. Say Dwight doesn’t leave or goes somewhere else. And the only thing keeping Miami from winning is a good PG. Who would you trade? Lebron or Wade. Wade is getting older so keep Lebron and trade Wade. We give them the PG they want in Deron and we get Wade. Wade plays the 2 and helps develop Brooks at the same time. we contact celtics and give them picks and farmar and get Rondo. It would be a beast of a team
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
or
or we somehow pry away Lebron from that team and put him at the 3 and keep brooks at the 2. but I don’t see Miami trading Lebron as easy as Wade even though it is “Wade’s team”
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
They are a very good chance of winning it this year
they wont mess with anything.
wow just found this article LOL

I was @ the game. Many missed open 3's.
We had a chance to win or play it closer than it was had we made half our 3’s. Swag was great the 1st half. Shoulda went to him more. Deron needed to set Okur up also. Maybe he coulda sparked up our shooters by hitting 3’s. He didn’t take not one.
Shut up and Play, DWill
I guess that’s the reason we’re winning so much on the road than at home!
I’m sorry, I know I’m in the minority, but DWill is seriously starting to grind on my nerves.
I love how some of you guys wanted to block/ban me b/c
I have been critical day 1 Of Dwill’s attitude, body language, play and all-around BS.
So, out of respect, I stop posting for a few days, I retire the Declown and Derong business…
And then my friend says that Moiso after another one of his sub-effort games.

Get rid of this guy all ready!
There are no words to express how pathetic D Will is. You’re on this club for less than 40 games and you act like a spoiled, coddled, immature child. Be a professional. We’re two games out of the playoff race in the pathetic East and with Lopez coming back in a couple of months it’s not out of the question to make a late run. Even if we couldn’t, you play as a professional, and don’t whine 5 games into the season. His “body language” (I’m so sick of hearing that term) warrants benching from a coach with a spine which Avery clearly doesn’t have. If I’m the GM, fire Avery and trade D Will while his value is high and before he has a migraine. I’m tired of hearing how we have to go into Bklyn with a superstar. We need to go into Brooklyn with 12 players that want to be there, and that shouldn’t be too hard to find. Good Riddance D-Will, you’re overrated, over attituded, lost, out of touch with reality, and you deserve a trade to someone who wants the next generation of NBA children.

wow...I'm starting to think deron should just ask for a trade
people are taking this way overboard and should not be this mad
Deron may not want to be here but fans are definately not helping at this point
D-will may be acting like a jerk but people are being too harsh and exaggerating the situation
I’m sure this is not good for anybody’s health
well said!
Us nets fans can find a crisis where there is no crisis!!!
Want a little cheese
with that whine, Deron? Seriously, this guy’s been acting like a real prima donna these days. The team’s bending over backwards just to accommodate you. Put an f-ing smile on your face once in a while and just offer platitudes. David Wright’s in the same situation cross town, and he’s not acting like this day in and day out!
I thought site lines were for FANS to complain about.
I’ve heard about players complaining about a rigid (“hard”) rim, but never about the site lines, especially from the Home team.
Good thing that DWill is enthusiastic about moving to Brooklyn (LOL). Was that a Slip on his part?
I’ll accept his complaints, as long as he commits to Brooklyn, after hearing the negative story from Broussard.
If Billy King knows that DWill will be in Brooklyn, even if Nets don’t get Dwight, then BK might plan more long term in his basketball moves.
Wow. We really know how to support our players.
All the time people are complaining about politicians, athletes, actors, anyone famous, because they never say anything with content. They just give the cliche sound bite and move on. Deron actually talks, this is what it gets him. No wonder they all don’t talk, it’s because of people like you.
“stop complaining Deron!” “you are a crying baby!” “you suck!” “trade him!”
So easy to be a jerk behind an anonymous name on the internet.
Usually I’m on board with you S.N.F. but this is the best player on the Nets saying “don’t come to watch us at home because the arena sucks.”
And all he’s doing is making excuses for his poor play. Maybe the sight lines aren’t that great but the Nets shot a better percentage at home last year than they did on the road.
Cause for us all to chill-out
c. Between now and the March 15 trade deadline, don’t discount the possibility that Howard tells the Magic to forget his trade demand. If he’s going to sign with the Nets as a free agent, he can do it without them having to trade every asset except for Williams to get him. For now, the Magic are playing tough-minded winning basketball on the road. Everyone expected them to dissolve into the dysfunction that comes out of these trade demands, but it hasn’t happened. Van Gundy is too good, the roster is comprised of too many mature, competent pros. No one saw this coming, and that probably includes Howard himself.

Suck it up
I don’t like my commute and I only make a fraction of what you make. Background’s bad on the roads, man. My signalling is off.
It's time to discuss Dwill trade scenarios
His wish list include nets plus Knicks, mavs n lakers. Who works out best for nets? I don’t see either Knicks mavs or lakers have good assets. What bout magic? Can we anything back from them?
now i know why utah got rid of this guy
the background is the same for both teams so the nets should be more used to it and have an advantage. waah! this guys is really hard to root for – i won’t be sad if he goes. he’s also not as good as advertised, i’m not sold that he deserves max money (although i’m sure he’ll get it somewhere)
The most impotant question is..
Will Barclays be a better environment for shooters?
Because while everyone on here is ragging on DWILL for complaining, the Nets do play better on the road so there might be something to it.
Hopefully Barclays will be “friendlier” and we dont end up like the Mets having to do the equivalent of moving in the fences.
fun facts
in the last 20 years:
Nets have been in the bottom 5 of attendance for 14/20 years. The highest they ever were was 12th. 12/27 in 93,94 12/29 in 97. in the bottom 5 from 2000-2004 except for 2002 when they were 23rd/29
Nets have had two top ten offenses and three bottom ten defenses
ONE YEAR HAS THE NETS OFFENSE PLAYED BETTER AT HOME THAN ON THE ROAD
oh and a bonus: Anthony Morrow shoots about 47% 3 pointers on the road, about 44% at Oracle Arena and at Prudential? He’s shooting 37% on threes.
but lets just harp on Deron for being honest. Sure is funny when he’s shooting down trade rumors or being snark with reporters to dispel the rumors. But say something true that is negative about the team and then its GTFO and trade him for Mo Williams
people need to relax. You’ve been through worst and i’m at the point where I’m waiting for Lopez and then waiting for the trade deadline then waiting for free agency to see what happens. Speculation only raises my blood pressure to unwarrantable levels

The most important part of this story!!!
“I don’t like this arena one bit,” Williams said. “It’s a good thing it’s not our arena next year.”
He said, “It’s a good thing it’s not OUR arena next year.”
He’s coming back. This year was going to be an 8th seed at best. Proky said it. Contend for the playoffs in one year (without Lopez we’re still in the hunt, despite the awful start). Contend for a championship within 5 years. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but it would seem that the most volatile and important piece to that puzzle is still on board with us.
