Seriously thought it was a winnable game
"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."
If Noah didn't play
"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."
Rose was on a minutes limit lol
"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."
We're in big trouble
KCJHoop K.C Johnson
#Bulls going with starters predicted this AM: Rose, Hamilton, Brewer, Boozer, Noah.
I think it's fine.
there would have been a chance...
if Rose & Noah were out…and MarShon was playing…can’t catch a break.

Sucks
andy_vasquez: MarShon Brooks is out with a sore left Achilles, according to the Nets.
"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 was trying to be optimistic about this one...
But without MarShon I don’t see how we do it.
Hope they’ll prove me wrong.
ughhhh
this has to be an L unless our players go HAM

we are going to need Okur to step up his scoring

Soo Rose and Noah will play.. deng and taj out... plus Brooks is out... smh
Official member of the "DO NOT TRADE MARSHON "SWAG" BROOKS" Society!
Gosh Darnit !!!
All this injury news about the Bulls and we’re the ones thats left without our all star for this game.
Anyway we’ll still win this game haha
You can't say its a little thing tho
We have the whole season to go we don’t know how severe it is, its a weird season scheduling wise he’s never play so many games together like this.
"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."
achilles injuries are hardly minor...
they can become serious FAST.
better let him rest.
Official member of the "DO NOT TRADE MARSHON "SWAG" BROOKS" Society!
We will lose big, without Marshon and against the best defense in the league our offense will look beyond garbage.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
HAHAHA
Nets’ luck:
We lose MarShon
Meanwhile Rose, Noah decide to play.
D-WIll + D12 = NETS 2012 Champs (with lots of luck)

lol life of nets fans
i think we all went into it that deng and noah were gonna be out but of course noah and rose play AND we have marshon out
Whats w the farmar hate?
He is a quality player and the ignoring brooks theme going on here is just absurdity. Ive watched almost every game btwand just dont see it.

Ugh I was looking forward to this game
No Brooks = no hope. Deron better step up big
by SovietBrooklyn on Jan 23, 2012 7:46 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Deron needs to score 40
15+ point nights from hump,okur, morrow, farmar.
10+ gaines and stevenson
and we can win.
All this is considering our terrible defense because i do thing the bulls will score 110.
Doesnt seem likely since they play defense and we dont though…
Marshon's injury is pretty random.
Conspiracy theory?
OT
But Stephen A just went on 1050 and completely destroyed any ideas of Knicks fans that Amare/Chandler could be traded for DH12, saying he called the Magic and they shot it down, Tyson can’t be traded, etc. Also, I’m not sure if I heard correctly, but I think he said Howard’s people have told Otis he can look for a trade to LAL, DAL, NJ, and now NYK and LAC. Can someone else confirm what I heard, online or something?

I think its more of Stephen A meant that Otis is just looking at offers, inquiring around
And the NYC media took it as Otis made the offer, getting fans excited, and he wanted to clarify
by Tylerguy42 on Jan 23, 2012 7:57 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Predictions:
Nets will score less than 70 points.
DWill will shoot between 30-35% for the night.
Nets will shoot less than 10 free throws for the night.
Seriously, this is the perfect storm for the Nets to have a terrible game. My predictions might end up being optimistic …
This needs to be an ugly game in the 70s or 80s is order for us to win
Official member of the "DO NOT TRADE MARSHON "SWAG" BROOKS" Society!
my concen with marshon is going fwd, not tonight...
certain body parts make me nervous. one is the achilles. hopefully thats pure tiredness/soreness, not a true injury.
look at damion james. all that “day to day, not related to last year.”…and it’s literally the same injury
I'm going to suck it up
and watch the entire game. It’s the Nets. We almost had no season. I waited too long to watch basketball. I’m not going to miss a game if I can help it.
Anyone with me?
oh i agree
i watch unless i can’t. i am committed. just concerned about his injury.
i'll "watch" the whole game
but i’ll probably end up back at my computer doing other things with the game in the background by halftime.

WHEN YOU DESCRIBE the prototypical NBA center, he is not complete without superlative size, strength and athleticism. He’ll fight for the tough rebounds in the trenches, but is just as quick to burn you with a shot from 15 feet.
Johan Petro possesses all of these skills and more, and bears all the promise of fulfilling his vast potential.

This game is on WGN America is if you're out of the area.
You might not be able to stomach Stacey King though.
I can deal with Rose, Noah in and Brooks out. But the prospect of listening to King for two and a half hours might do me in.
No Swag, No reason to watch
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
Worried
By the way, a “Sore” achilles worries me a little. They said Swag has a sore achilles which can mean anything from swelling to a partial fraying or tear of the achilles….scary…something to monitor closely
I love sports so much that I have an MD in Sports
especially if it continues to bother him later

not really
ya he’s young but he’s also never played such a high volume of games in a short amount of time before in his career. takes some getting used to

WOW. That is a TERRIBLE lineup. With MarShon and Brook out there is just nothing at all to look forward to. It’s not like any of these guys are young up-and-comers or anything.
Yeah, I’m sorry to say I won’t be watching this one on my DVR unless the score is close at half. Rose is so exciting to watch but I know the Nets are just going to frustrate me endlessly with this no-punch line-up against the all-punch Chicago D.

anyone with half a brain can see that we’re supposed to lose this game. but i like that Deron is bringing it on the offensive end. we’ll see how long that lasts, but i’m not mad at him so far
I would rather have Petro out there than Okur.
Not even kidding. Okur is worse on defense, isn’t even shooting 40%, and takes way more shots. He’s also probably the slowest center in the league.

If Owens can defend honestly he should start over Stevenson until we get a SF
He adds length we don’t have and can run the floor and rebound.
"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."
Our bigs need to learn the pick and roll
can’t believe our own player gets in Deron’s way after setting the pick.
Nets are the major leagues for D League players, nobody signed D League players like the Nets
Horner
Owens
Greene
West
Gaines
probably more
Look at the spurs
"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."

Nets will not get calls this season.
Bad teams don’t get calls. It’s sad, but the reality. Good teams get the benefit of the whistle 99% of the time.
we ain't getting anything this season.
We aren’t getting any goal tending calls or anything. Pretty ridiculous of what a joke the nba officiating is.
How tall is James on curry? 6'4
"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."
And the Nets are down by double figures in the first quarter again
…..Meanwhile in Boston……

The Nets lost last night
Never does he give positive stats. The team was the best 3 point shooting a couple of games ago I don’t know about now. Did he state that fact? Of course not better to trash the team. / Rant

Could start on some teams
"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."
Scal has a bunch of energy right now which Nets do not what I'm seeing nothing special just energy
"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."

dwill is getting to the basket at will but has like three people around him
these guys need to hit shots for us to have a chance to at least make this a close game
Nets like to shoot 3s.
I wonder if anyone there is telling them to knock it off and start driving. I’m really sick of DWill pulling up at the 3-point line in transition.
our schedule is rough. 76ers nexr. ouch

It's probably not a good idea to basically throw the ball to him...

Farmar is actually keeping us in the game. but we;re getting sloppy. game shouldve been at 9
Follow twitter @3oclockroc
They don't even guard Okur
guy has had 5 completely wide open shots tonight and can’t make anything.
Put Shelden in the game.
okur will get his shot going i hope

thats why they aren't guarding him

Deron finally!
hopefully he continues playing like this. I guess this is one of those games where I appreciate farmar.
Can we stop the foolish Deron hate?
Seriously, this guy has literally tried to put the team on his back throughout the whole season
no, this whole season
Do you see our bigs ????!?!?!??!
and tonight is very tough for him

IMO there has nothing been wrong with his play all season.
Look at his team. Playing with a bunch of scrubs makes it that much easier for the team to defend you which messes with him mentally. Starts getting frustrated, makes bad plays, etc

Okur you're killing me man.
That was obviously for you and was definitely obtainable.

no chicago is just that damn good on defense

Stephen A shot down his own story today on his show
Just Espn pushing its own nonsense to create headlines don’t worry about it.
"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."
Thats old news Stephen A who reported it shot it down himself
They never really talked about that trade Knicks wouldn’t have the money anyway.
"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."
why would Orlando want Amare's contract?

One of the advantages of being awful
Is being able to evaluate players in real games.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
When did I say he was a savior?
Besides, Stevenson is hideous…. like he was two years ago… and three years ago.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Just kidding.
I meant that any new random D-League player increases the hope to supplant current D-League-level player (Stevenson) that’s currently getting minutes for the Nets.
There is replacement level
And there is sub-replacement level.
Stevenson is the latter. There are D-Leaguers that can give you the former. That’s an upgrade worth seeking in the absence of alternatives.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I'm well aware.
Yet another reason to give Owens more minutes.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Problem is coaching, not the players. The players are not prepared. If we went into
a game w/o Avery, we would have the same record.
