Petro Reveals Secrets of Being Ready

On his official website, Johan Petro reveals how he stays ready during a shortened season, those little extra's he's tried this year.

First of all, he says, listen to your body. "When your body is screaming, you have to listen and try to fix it because you can't go it alone with a little pain. It will only get worse," he writes. "You have to do a little more of everything. More time in the training room, more ice after practice and games, massages. Anything to treat your body at this point, you need to get it done ... The other thing is the energy level. You have to just try and keep it as high as possible. The one thing I've tried to do differently is rest."

Petro also advises, "Practice helps."

To be successful, apparently Avery's Defense System requires it to be manned by NBA All-Defensive Team.

It amazes me

that it took Avery as long as it dead to realize that all the big men minutes should be divided between Okur, Hump, and Shelden.

Petro was STARTING. Unreal.

Well Petro was pretty much the only one that knew the system

and was more familiar than Shelden and Okur

Honestly...

I wonder if Petro knows that he’s not very good at basketball (relative to other NBA players). It seems like he’d be the type who believes that he’s full of potential, but is just not being properly utilized in this system.

This is the big change for him now that Brook is injured? Smh.

here we go- My trade machine concoction- Kobe to Nets

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7hw9rpv
to Nets: Kobe, Ryan Anderson
to LAL- Deron williams, Dwight Howard
to Orlando- Andrew Bynum, MarShon Brooks, Rockets #1 pick, Dallas #1 pick.

why not?

kobe opens up brooklyn
pg- (problem)
sg- Kobe
sf- problem
pf- Anderson/Humph
c- lopez

we would have cap space to sign someone….

not going to happen.. but the Lakers arent going to win again with their current group.. this lets them reboot. Howard wont want to play with kobe.. but now he gets Deron in LA

by orangeeater on Jan 23, 2012 3:13 PM EST reply actions  

i think it is a great trade

Lakers:
Deron
Morrow
Artest/Barnes
Pau
Howard

That team could contend….

Magic:

ok.. maybe they wouldnt want to trade Anderson… may have to rework that

You mean aside from him?

“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.”

Spurs to retire Bowen's jersey on March.21

The only player I hate in the NBA all-time, no, in all professional sports, will get his number retired, on my birthday.

IT’S DISGUSTING. Might as well retire other players’ numbers whose career he had shortened. I’m from Baltimore and I don’t even hate Billy Cundiff after last night missed FG. But this guy I do hate. That’s saying something.

He certainly was a integral part of Spurs' Championship run

Not arguing that but he deserves penalty and stiff fines for his actions. His actions WERE WITH MALICIOUS INTENT. He can go to jail for all I care

Problem is...

a center’s job is fight for rebounds in the post and work inside the paint, not settling for jump shots.

He looks allergic to the paint and everytime he tries to make a move in the post he gets blocked, doesn’t matter who’s defending, I’d take Hump and Williams over this guy in a heartbeat.

for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...

RE: Knicks

Could they have an easier schedule to start the season?

They’ve played sub .500 teams all season and have gotten mad breaks. They play Denver on Denver’s 5th game in 7 nights (on the road) and the Knicks play at home, then have 2 days off….to prepare for the BOBCATS.

by Anthony Perez on Jan 23, 2012 4:20 PM EST reply actions  

They have. Fred Kerber broke it down on twitter last week. Here's some quotes
Factoid: Nets 15 games were against teams that r combined 22 games OVER .500; Knix 14 games against teams combined 34 games UNDER .500
Factoid: 5 of Nets (10th place) 1st 15 opps not in a current playoff spot; 10 of Knix (8th place) 1st 14 opps not in a current playoff spot

that just means we have an easier road ahead, hopefully we get those wins vs. the easier teams later on.

what happens if the Nets make the playoffs and the Knicks do not…….imagine how the Knicks homers would spin that?

Honestly, I prefer us to compete but not make the playoffs, not trade for Dwight but sign him as a Free Agent, retain Brook as our PF and get a high lottery pick to get our SF of the future…..one can dream, right?

I want to compete for the 8th seed this year

not necessarily win it, but if we are fighting for it, or at least close it it throughout the season…then I would be happy with 8th seed or lottery.

Thank you Johan Petro

I just found out I didn’t get a job that I had been interviewing for (luckily I am gainfully employed) that came down to myself and 1 other candidate – and that person apparently had more experience……

I was a little upset about not getting the job (actually pissed is a good word to describe it) and then I check NetsDaily and Johan Petro brings me to tears from reading this nonsense. Just the picture alone did it for me and then to read his self promotion was brilliant.

I wonder if this guy does motivational speaking? Anyone who is feeling down on their luck can first watch a highlight video of Petro’s career (spent cheering on the bench) and then listen to his anecdotes about how great of a player he is….When it’s all over they will be happy they are not clinically insane like Petro!

Petro-----NOPE!

As far as I am concerned, Petro should be wearing a super long, lime green four button suit during every NETS game. I hate his game. Seven foot guys shouldn’t be hoisting foul line jump shots. When Brook gets back, I’d like to see us waive Petro, or pay someone to take him before the trade deadline.
