PrintDespite the temperature and shooting background at the Prudential Center, Deron Williams and the Nets picked up their second home win of the season on Sunday, beating the Bobcats 97-87.
The Nets took control with a 9-0 run midway through the first quarter and led by 16 at the half. They went cold in the third quarter and allowed the Bobcats to creep within seven, but they quickly opened the game back up and led by as many as 19 in the fourth before holding on for a 10-point victory.
The Nets shot just 44 percent from the field, but were 14-for-15 from the line and outrebounded the Bobcats 47-34.
MarShon Brooks led the Nets with 20 points on 9-for-17 shooting. Williams scored 11 points in the first quarter and finished with 19 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists, one rebound shy of his first career triple-double. Anthony Morrow (19 points) and Jordan Farmar (13) each had big games off the bench.

Backboards are transparent. Maybe because the tunnel is right there, it messes with the depth perception.
Probably why opposing teams shoot a league worst at the line in the rock
I think Ian said as much yesterday
making fun of/referencing Deron and Morrow's comments.
They were complaining about the arena yesterday, saying the arena is difficult to shoot in.
honestly
i think brook will help this team so much. .
24-58 last year with brook as leading scorer. prolly go 12-70 again without him.
i think the other 14 players > last season
Two of last three

If i can critisize dwill, i can also give him his props...
he played well tonight…
Marshon finished the game in true kobe fashion. I loved that one handed floater… so smooth
That's because he played more PG today
Nets still need to stop with the Williams bring ball up, pass it, run a screen to receive the ball then set up the offense. You can’t run that play up the court every possession!
Avery didn’t make himself look to smart taking Deron out then putting him back in.
MarShon has to lurn to play with the offense a little more, that and pick up fouls , should of had 30 tonight.

I know people don't like Farmar all that much
but he gives this team some scoring+ spotty PG duties off the bench. Not to mention he was with this team all last year. This team is full of brand new players, the last thing we need is to get rid of a player who has played with Hump+Deron.
One of our main problems is chemistry, and trading Farmar for a brand new player will just make our chemistry even worse.
(I know, Farmar turns into a black hole sometimes which isn’t exactly chemistry, but I hope you understand what I’m saying)

If Farmar consistently plays well like he did today
I prefer him. But the problem is his scoring isn’t consistent enough, and he still is a pretty bad playmaker (although I’ve seen him make better passes this season). He still ignores his teammates in good positions too often, and its obvious that him and Marshon don’t get along well on the court.
Won't be long before every team double teams Brooks....
And he is an excellent passer

i would rather have an older vet backup PG who knows his role

When they get in, they charge like bulls, trying to prove something.

I think we'll see some Gaines tomorrow,

I can't help but think that we will be a legit team with Brook back
Assuming Brook recovers well, and doesn’t take much time to find his form. Deron is an excellent passer to a low post scorer, so that alone makes a massive difference. But then you also look at Marshon’s ability to drop off great passes to the bigs, by drawing defenders. Then consider the fact that in the past Brook Lopez has been double/triple teamed regularly, and you have an offensive team, that on paper will give a lot of problems to other teams. How will teams deal with Deron, Marshon, and Brook at the same time?
I agree
huge whole at small forward though
PG: Deron
SG: Marshon
SF: ? Stevenson?
PF: Hump
C: Lopez

by JJ_22 on Jan 22, 2012 8:48 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yea, I agree
As much as people like to hate on Damion James here, I think he would actually be a good fit on that lineup. His lack of offensive skills won’t matter much because he would already have 3 scorers next to him, which would give him no real defensive focus. But DJ is pretty much done for the season, so you can forget about that. So I think Stevenson/Shawne Williams will have to do, or you can put Marshon at SF. If Stevenson was an inch or two taller, I would have no problems with him playing SF because he’s an excellent on man defender, and a decent perimeter passer.
I would hope that
Avery had the guy as the focul point when Dwill went out.

2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
Yet the NBA is still a completely new experience for him
And he has adjusted remarkably well.
Unless something dramatic happens, Brooks is going to get better, not worse.
yes, of course he's going to get better, he's going to be at least a 20 ppg player...
But usually or always the elite scorers have elite speed and athleticism, Brooks doesn’t has it, but he has a high BBIQ, something that not all the elite scorers have.
But I think what’s really going to determine his status will be his defensive game, he has potential, let’s hope he can reach it.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
Paul Pierce, agree, I've compared his style to him too,
but Roy no way, sure he hadn’t elite speed and athleticism, but had much more than Brooks and Pierce
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
Roy did have much more than pierce but..
i think brooks’ athleticism is deceiving he has more than hes shown thus far… his combine numbers were superior to a lot of the guys we consider as having elite athleticism

yeah, without the ball we can see it, running the fast break...
but with the ball, he isn’t explosive like almost elite scorer, but his moves are already elite in the league.

Yeah, he doesn't seem a elite scorer because he doesn't has the elite atlethicism and speed, they usually have...
He has like a Paul Pierce style, he’s kind of a “slow” attacking the defender but does it with all the right fundamentals
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
I wouldn't say slow, i would say smoooth.
He has a very fluid movement, usually gets around his man.
yeah

Rose and Noah have been out, and Deng looks like injuried his wrist last game...
They are all day to day, but all their roster has great defenders, with the exception of Korver

“I just got hit on it, but it will be fine,” Deng said.
The veteran forward said he wasn’t even sure how the injury occurred.
“It’s a sprain of his left wrist,” Thibodeau said. “He is day to day. I took him out at the end because he said he needed a break and he went back to have his wrist checked.”

I miss him
clearly he is no star or probably not even a starter, but he adds needed energy, defense and does the dirty work on the offensive glass

Sorry about starting new posts and not replying but.......
everytime I press reply I just go back to the top………Okay……The difference between Marshon Brooks and every ,I said every player that I have ever seen in the NBA with one exception (Magic Johnson) is how easily he scores……He scores on everyone (Including good seasoned veterans) EFFORTLESSLY……..It’s almost impossible to ‘D’ him up………That to me is a sign of a future scoring champion…….
you must have missed last night's game..
he got blocked like 6 times lol
Official member of the "DO NOT TRADE MARSHON "SWAG" BROOKS" Society!
yea he seems easy to block
just my opnion none the less a good scorer.
"I think I’m the best point guard in the league. No reason. I just think I’m the best.’’-Deron Williams.
He's still a rookie, sure he's almost 23, but in college he didn't had this kind of Big Men procteting the paint...
…He has a high BBIQ and will adapt to avoid those blocks.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
lol Magic johnson wasn't even a pure scorer tho but wow man when you like a player you like them.
"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 did miss last nights game.....
I was working all night long…….But he still scores effortlessly…….I’m sure he will learn how to avoid the blockage soon……
TWill over Henderson
Another great job, old f@rt!
Seriously, that retiree ruined our team with his “draft skills”. My heart aches.
Well, you think it's that easy, to draft players, drafting players in the middle of thee 1st round is the thoughest job in a draft.
Everyone can see TWill has a tremendous potential, but I guess he lacks of BBIQ.
And you are saying that now… Henderson was in Charlotte doghouse, until they hired a new coach last season, that motivated him and gave him confidence.
It takes a lot of factors to players pan out. In different situations some guys get better and other get stuck.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
Come on now
You think I’d criticize him for that mishap if wasn’t his like 237 bust draft pick?
We’re talking about: Zoran, Milic, Wright, Marcus Williams, Boone, Sean Williams, Terrence Williams, D. James. There are plenty of quality players who thrive in NBA today and even All Stars. Had he picked Bayless over Lopez it would be pinnacle of his miserable drafting history.

It’s easier to draft the top picks. And on top picks, yes, you get less excuses.
Go check all other GM’ in the league and see all the midlle 1st round picks they drafted during all their life and let me know in how many have they got it right.

OT: Playoff Spots
I was looking at the Eastern Conference playoff standings and something stood out to me, I wonder if any of you guys see the same thing. Is it just me or is there really only potential for Milwaukee to move out of a playoff spot out of the teams currently 1-8? Obviously if Dwight leaves Orlando could fall, but depending on what pieces are sent to ORL they may hang on to a playoff spot. Current playoff teams in order are Chicago, Orlando, Indiana, Philly, Atlanta, Miami, Milwaukee, Boston. The first 6 are pretty much a lock to me(*ORL), Boston most likely makes a push and locks up a spot. That leaves teams like New York, New Jersey, and Milwaukee fighting for the final spot. If Boston doesnt wake up then add them to the list and that makes 4 teams fighting for 2 spots. Just thought that was interesting…
injuries and schedule...
finally people are recognizing what effect the compact schedule and unusual injuries will have. I expect the final 3/4 of the season to be even more unpredictable.
by BKNfastbreak on Jan 22, 2012 9:54 PM EST up reply actions
only the top 6 are likely
even then, any team can go on a big losing streak and fall off, e.g. Indiana or Atlanta. outside of the top 2 really, the East is wide open.

Bulls are undefeated at home..

MarShon reminds me of Ginobli, I think thats a fair comparison...
With that said when Lopez comes back, we have a big 3 of our own..
DWill, MarShon, Lopez… reminds me a little of Parker, Ginobli, n Duncan
DWill better than Parker, Duncan better than Lopez and the verdict is still out on MarShon but I like the potential even if we dont trade for DH12
Don’t see GInobili at all. Manu went to the lane and loved contact and had better handles. I see more Steve Smith or Joe Johnson that smooth slow old man game u can’t stop. Marshon doesn’t go to run enough yet.

We actually get a lot of open looks
Melo draws a ton of double teams, and sometimes decides to pass out of them. Douglas and Fields are bricking wide open shots. Our defense is actually better than our offense this year.
lol, I would say you are nuts
but then checked the power rankings and you are actually right:
Off: 97.4 (23), Def: 98.1 (8)
Sooner or later your offense will start to thrive

lol its really weird
But Chandler and Shumpert have made a huge difference on defense, and Melo is the only player on our team that can score this year.

The first sports game I ever went to as a fan. Went along with 2 other friends, and it was an amazing experience for us. With some great seats :D
We all had genuine fun, I got to see my Nets win, I got my friends into becoming Nets fans, I got to feel like what it is to be part of the ‘crowd" and in general I will now be buying more and more tickets. Screw Tv xD, TV doesn’t even come close to the fun I had being there.
I also did not feel like the crowd was low… But this was also my 1st game… The crowd was into it at times for sure. Still, only positives came out of me going.

wow can't believe I forgot the Sixers!
Then it will be a little more difficult for the Nets
We aren't missing the playoffs
STAT and Melo have both played horribly, B. Davis is coming back next week, and Fields is just starting to play well offensively. Not sure if we can do any damage when we get there, but a team with Melo/STAT is going to find a way to win enough games in the regular season
yeah they'll get in even with a losing record

Yeah the East is really week this year
Lucky for the Knicks, because if they were in the West, they might be in a huge whole before they finally turn it around.
Yeah thats your best shot
Obviously I am biased, but I would be shocked if the Knicks missed the playoffs. We might not be an elite team, but we should make the playoffs pretty easily once everybody is healthy, and Melo/STAT start playing well.
basically right now the top 6 teams are locked in barring a catastrophic free-fall or some type of 10+ game win streak from a bottom team
the last two are wide open as the 7th and 13th seed are separated by 3 games right now

havent really seen mules play. any good comparisons?
by JJ_22 on Jan 23, 2012 12:42 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
I really don't know who to compare, but he can play SG and SF,
he’s big and fast for his size, finishes good around the rim and can shoot the 3 well. he’s a scorer, I like him of the bench
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
rose is playing
Derrick Rose says he’ll play Monday night when Chicago hosts the New Jersey Nets.

ND has always had these rules. It’s not that losing is getting to the moderators. It’s getting to the members saying things out of line. ND is one of the best out there, I don’t think they have to change much about how this site is run.

Just watched on DVR.
My thoughts:
- That Bobcat team that was on the floor was absolutely horrendous. I know they had a couple of injuries, but that team that we faced is utter garbage.
- Nets played pretty bad in the 2nd half. It was pretty embarrassing that the Bobcats got back into it, b/c the Nets had to play like hot garbage to let that garbage team outplay them.
- The game was pretty boring
- DWill seemed to be playing pretty much the same way he has been, w/ a few nice passes thrown in; overall, I still find myself disappointed by his lack of penetration & especially his inability to create a shot for himself or a teammate when he does penetrate. He does at times, and it looks great, but too often he gets nothing out of it & he’s still taking too many jumpers when they aren’t falling. This is especially troubling when he launches 3 pointers during crunch time.
- Despite picking it up in the 4th & carrying them for a stretch, MarShon didn’t have a really good game. It was all right, & he did abuse Kemba & whoever else defended him in the post a few times, but he’s been better. Even so, not playing great, he was still great, if that makes any sense?
- No one else really stood out; everyone else pretty much looked the same on the Nets
- The Bobcats might be the least talented team in the league; I am unsure how they even have 2 wins.
We Nets have the same feeling
I guess it’s called NO Defense
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
You forgot the fact, their best player got injuried at the beginnig
DJ Augustin has been by far Charlotte’s best player
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
I mentioned that they had a couple injuries.
I know DJ playing would have helped them a lot. But even DJ isn’t that talented of a player. Ideally, he’s not a starter, but a good sixth man.
But that version of the Bobcats (w/out DJ, w/out Magette) is just horrible.
Also forgot to mention:
- Bobcats are a terrible shooting team. They couldn’t hit anything when the Nets went zone. It was eerie, b/c usually it’s the Nets clanging shots. It was almost surreal watching it happen against the Nets and not to them.
we're better than the knicks
Charlotte beat knicks
Nets beat Charlotte
Nets > Knicks

Just watched the game go Nets!!
Marshon said Deron sparked the team by scoring like a leader should after the game.
Love that swag.

our defense has been better
-we should have won last night if anyone of our team made their shots we could have won
-this game i m not shocked we won they suck
-marrow needs to keep on making the open looks he getss even tonight i saw him miss some open shots i expect him to be automatic.
- marshon and deron both played well tonight but i feel like marshon has stopped driving in as much and is not getting fouled samething deron needs to drive in more
-farmar is the best back up pg in the league i believe and could be a decent starter on another team the only problem with him i have noticed is that he doesnt pass marshon whats so ever i think he is jelly lol
-humpphriees is doing greattt we need more ally dunks froom williams to him
-we need lopez badly :( when is he coming backk?
wow knicks 6-10
nets 5-12
not to far off as the knicks r stuck wher they r while the nets can easily improve
We are without Lopez
They are without…..Baron Davis? lmao
Would be so amazing if we finished with more wins than they did.

The Nets will improve that's for sure, with more time together and especially the return of Lopez, will make us look much better.
But I don’t know if I want Lopez to return fast, I’m really starting to get used to the idea of getting M-KG in the draft.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
Not really true
Amar’e is averaging 17 points per game. He averaged 25 per game last year.
Douglas is shooting 32% from the floor.
Fields is shooting 20% from 3-point range
Melo’s wrist is injured
B. Davis is joining the team in a week.
The Knicks still have the room exception which they can use on a player from China.
There is a lot of room for improvement imo.
"Room exception to use on a player from China"
How much is that room?
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
2.5 mil per for a max of two years
Enough to sign K-Mart, or maybe rent a player like JR Smith for the rest of the year.
but that exception wasn't the one you wanted to use on Shawne, and gave it to Baron Davis?
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
we did want it for Shawne
But we ended up signing Baron for a minimum contract instead of the room exception. He is already making a ton of money from Cleveland, so he agreed to take a little less from the Knicks.
ah ok, I thougth I have read the Knicks used it on Baron...lucky you
Martin is a good fit, but his heart is a Net, I don’t think he will sign with the Knicks.
And JR has a great talent, but NY would be the last team in the League where I would put him playing, one more locker room headcase and another ball hog. The Knicks won’t win a thing, if they continue to stockpile players like these.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
Obviously it could be wrong or the NY media making things up
But its been reported that he wants to sign with the Knicks.
http://www.iamagm.com/news/2011/12/24/kenyon.martin.really.wants.sign.knicks.melo.pushing.move.too
we are 5-1 against non play off teams
and 0-11 against play off teams………weve played alot of playyoff teams
We need Lopez to beat those Playoffs teams
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
It seems like this season has been predictable
Like I know when we will win and when we will lose
