Playing on the road, on the third straight night, and against the team with the best record in the league, the Nets put up a decent effort on Monday night. But that wasn't nearly enough against the Bulls, who scored 110 points in an easy victory.
Chicago took control early and led by 16 at the half. They led by as many as 21 in the third quarter and cruised to a 15-point win. The Bulls shot 57 percent from the field, with six players in double figures. Their starting backcourt of Derrick Rose and Richard Hamilton combined for 44 points and 18 assists.
The Nets were led by Jordan Farmar, who scored 22 points on 7-for-9 shooting off the bench. Deron Williams had 16 points and 10 assists, while Anthony Morrow added 15 points.
Morrow started for MarShon Brooks, who missed the game with tendinitis in his left leg. His status for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia is uncertain. He will undergo testing Tuesday. Brooks remained hopeful, tweeting, “As for me, I seriously doubt I miss the game Wednesday vs 76ers!!”

today and last night he showed good leadership
nothing you can do if people around don’t knock down open shots
every point he got today was amazing and he was getting doubled and triple teamed all night…he deserves his credit.
Oh, and by the way, we played the bulls without marshon Brooks in Chicago…not exactly good odds there IMO

And he is definitely owned by Rose

i dont know where this came from
i moved to texas when Cuban had just bought the team. They could outrun anybody with Nash, Finley, and Dirk but lacked defenders and big men
they let Nash go, sign a plethora of bad big men and fire Nellie who knew they mangled the roster and wouldnt let it go.
Only thing i saw Avery do is force Dallas to play slow despite having athleticism all around. Harris and Josh Howard were just borderline elite defenders at the time along with Marquis Daniels. The Heat had no business winning that title but avery lets Dampier get destroyed in half court tempo and tries to force Jason Terry to be a true point guard because he doesnt know how to mask him as a 2 guard on Wade
then Dirk carries his butt to 67 wins and yet Don Nelson trots out TMNT, Barnes, J-Rich, Capt Jack, Baron with Monta, Biedrens, Pietrus, and Azubuike on the bench and they drop 3 after 3 after 3 and switch everything and force turnovers left and right
then he gets Kidd and yet lets him get destroyed by Chris Paul and cant figure out how to keep Tyson Chandler from catching lobs
all he did was inherit Nellie’s work and talent and butchered it. Same way Frank semi-butchered what Scott had put together(our defense got progressively worse annually after Scott left)

I agree with what you said about Avery
But not what you said about Frank. Byron Scott had a great team, yes, but Franks was dealing with ownership taking the cheap route. Slowly the Nets roster was gutted in an effort to save money because the team wasn’t making any.
I'l agree with you on Avery
Disagree with Frank. Scott was a terrible coach. I’d take Frank over Mr. Roboto any day.
I would never want to see MarShon hurt...
But it can be a blessing in disguise if somehow he couldn’t be included in an orlando deal.
Its crazy I know. Get well soon swag lol.

Doc Rivers had a 24 win season. Mike Fratello, whom many of you wanted, has had multiple losing seasons. Flip Saunders has been to 4 conference finals; he’s now coaching the Wizards. sometimes a good coach can do nothing with the roster handed to him.

Post Game Reactions
Positives:
Dwill played, like last night, with a fuller, more complete effort.
He was more active on D for the most part as well.
I especially liked that he reacted to no calls with a “hop off the ground and get more aggressive – attack mode, as opposed to taking the next couple plays off” – appreciated.
Shawne Williams seems to have gotten more aggressive on Defense and he appears to have the beginnings of his “shot” coming back.
The Team – overall effort despite getting doors blown off most of the game; their was still a sense of “not giving up” – appreciated
Negatives:
Okur has been relatively dreadful for awhile – Not happy with him at all.
Morrow – is abysmal. He couldn’t defend “Chair” – and he’s zero sum gain when his shot IS falling; a massive liability when it’s not.
Dwill, although a bit better as of late; is still too sloppy with his handle and some of his passes.
Avery – 13 out of 18 games where we spot the opposing team double digit leads in the first
quarter. I can’t blame Deron completely all the time – this is on Avery as much a anyone.
In any other situation, on another team, he would have been Fired long ago.
wait, there was a game 2nite?

Nice analysis. I don’t think Avery Johnson is much of a coach but he’s an even worse talent evaluator based on the poor defenders he has brought into the system. Do I blame that on Billy King or Avery Johnson? Maybe a little bit of both.

No, the roster says otherwise
we have had some really questionable starting lineups thrown out there and on most nights we don’t win any of the 4 matchups in the first quarter and Deron is giving up a 17.5 per vs getting 15 for us. Avery, however, did not bring these guys in here, King did. This is a product of the Howard pursuit and nothing else.
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
17.5 PER and 15 respectively

Farmar shooting very well 48% FG and 46% 3pt

Avery played D-Will off the ball with Gaines at the other guard position with Farmar on the bench in a lot of games…

"Rose, banged-up Bulls rout Nets" (our missing three starters don't count); DeShawn Stevenson is done
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=320123004
Banged-up Bulls? Rose said after the game that he felt fine. The Bulls were playing at home and missing one player—Deng.
The Nets were on the road, playing their third game in three days. The Nets are still missing their starting center, Brook Lopez, but that doesn’t seem to count anymore. The Nets also played without MarShon Brooks. Damion James is getting foot surgery later today. The Nets were without THREE STARTERS when they lost to the “banged-up Bulls.” The press stinks.
-————-
DeShawn Stevenson started again and the Nets got in a hole again. He’s done. Get rid of him. He can’t score and he can’t defend. Is his contract guaranteed?
Larry Owens, while not great, showed that he won’t hurt you and will do a little of everything. Play him 10-25 minutes, play Shawne Williams 10-25 minutes, and give the other minutes to a guard (Brooks, Morrow, Farmar) in a three-guard lineup.
Stevenson is shooting .259 fg, .277 from three, 3.1 points in 16.9 minutes, with a PER of 4.65. Bring in Ben Uzoh. Stevenson is done.

Orlando can still trade Dwight after the season, only difference— Dwight wouldn’t get a 5 yr contract— right?
"Beware the Ides of March."
Naw, if they do a S&T after the season. he can still get the max 5/100ish
via his Bird Rights from Orlando, since he’d be technically signing with them (then getting traded)
From new cba
“Sign-and-trade contracts will have a maximum length of four years and receive 4.5% annual increases.”
Magic only have leverage if Dwight wants to go somewhere over the cap. That is why a D-Will for Melo last resort Sign and Trade could work. for the nets..
So Orlando really has no leverage come July on us
I dont understand that article a few weeks ago that said the Magic believe they cant do a deal NOW that’s better than ones on the table in July.
that seems like very iffy thinking by them
don't worry
i personally believe they are just waiting for lopez to come back to see how he performs and then they will make a deal with the Nets

We can't trade a 1st for Mayo
Most of his appeal to us is the fact that he’s an expiring contract. We can’t waste a pick on him unless we’re dumping Petro & Shawne.
If we trade for Howard first, then it’s a different situation. By trading for him at that point, we’d retain his bird rights & be able to resign him in the offseason. Even then, it doesn’t make a ton of sense unless Brooks is included in the Howard deal. If we pursue Howard in free agency, Mayo would have to be renounced, so there’s no way he’s worth giving up a first rounder.

Um cuz Deron and Howard in Bklyn is easier to do and NY is a BIG market?
Not to mention the nets aren’t going to make a move to have some of the worst contract in the L from the magic. Might as well let Deron walk elsewhere then take Nelson and assorted garbage. And if Howard walks to Jersey with Lopez, MarShon and 2012 pick (picks perhaps), Morrow and any other Roster moves nets can make would be an amazing supporting cast.

then, ingram says that there should be a trade of melo/brooks for d-will. how is this guy an nba writer?
He is an idiot, but in his defense this wasn't total anti nets drivel
!). if I’m NY I happily give up Melo and Brooks for Deron Williams, but the Nets have no intention of trading him . . .they also aren’t any better with that lineup than they are now.

The only thing the guy does consistnely is score and often not in an efficient manner. Deron shooting woes or not is a better player.

I think the Lakers will get Howard.. this is my best 3 way deal
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=7457uo7
The Lakers will be looking at an 8 seed near the trade deadline. If they dont change something, they will have big problems for years to come. Meanwhile, the Celtics will miss the playoffs
To LAL- Dwight Howard, JJ Reddick, Chris Wilcox, Chris Duhon
To Boston- Andrew Bynum
to Orlando- Pau Gasol, Paul Pierce, Laker’s #1 pick
Why Boston does it: They will have a lot of cap space.. .Bynum takes over the Perkins role. They can let KG and Allen walk and reboot
Why Lakers do it- They get much better. Get depth.
Why Orlando does it- become the Nuggets of the Eastern conference with a deep group. They still are a playoff team with this bunch…
THEN……
LAL trades Dallas’s #1 pick and their trade exception for Kris Humphries
LAL:
pg- fisher, blake, suhon
sg- kobe, reddick,
sf- barnes,
pf- humph, mcroberts, murphy
c- Howard
Not the best team in the league but a playoff team for sure
helps us because we get a #1 pick back for Humph
then again, if the Lakers get Howard, they would be better off with a Ryan Anderson type at the 4…. so maybe they dont trade with us
I think Howard to the Lakers will be inevitable.. the Lakers will panic as they should near the deadline

Pierce is on the downhill with a big contract as well.
- pick is …well worthless.
How is that better than Lopez, Marshon, flexibility, and a bunch of high picks on a loaded draft + you get to keep JJ Reddick. (Turk wasn’t mentioned as it’s on the other deal as well).

The Lakers are going to get Howard.. that is quite obvious
The reason that they have not already is the have relented at dealing Bynum and Pau.. problem is they are not a playoff team right now. If they fail to get Howard, they will have the same team next year and the year after. The ONLY chance they have at relevance in Kobe’s final years would be to get Howard…
I really doubt we get Howard during the season. Lopez won’t be fully back from his injury so his trade value is lessened. Brooks is playing great.. but I think we are somewhat overstating his value on this forum. Our pick will be a good one.. but it is not certain to be top 5. There are a lot of bad teams.. so our pick could be top 7 (washington, Sacramento, Toronto, Charlotte, new orleans are all definitely worse)…. we can end up in the 5-9 range with GS ,Detroit, PHX)
Please explain how it's quite obvious
It’s not over until it’s over. Everything you write is purely speculation.
Agreed, there's nothing obvious about LA getting Howard
Orlando probably wants it but LA doesn’t want to give up both Bynum and Paul and more importantly, Howard seems hesitant at becoming Kobe’s sidekick in an aging LA team. Without an assurance he’ll re-sign with such a team, LA’s understandably balking at giving up both their starting bigs.
Howard is hesitant?
There are also reports he has been less interested in NJ
But everyone here always points out his trade demand hasnt changed… i.e. he still wants the Lakers or Nets.
You cant argue the Lakers are less desirable to him but the nets are still desirable…
The lakers are balking but will cave.. We essentially gave our best offer possible and the Magic said no…
Sure we can add MarShon to the Lopez and 5 #1 picks we offered.. but I think we are levarage for LA
by orangeeater on Jan 24, 2012 12:38 PM EST up reply actions
Howard may end up in LA
but it is far from certain.
And by multiple accounts, Howard doesn’t want to end up in LA without Gasol there as well. He will become a free agent regardless.
Dude, like you said, the ONLY way LA will get D12 is if they give up Bynum and Pau!
Will that make LA better? NO. The only advantage Lakers have is with the bigs up front.
Their PG gets abused day in-day out.
So primary reason why they wont get D12 is that they wont give up both of their bigs for him.
On the other hand, D12 does not want anything to do with Kobe and nobody else, especially if there is nobody there to give him the ball down low.
This is not Shaq and Kobe, cause Phil Jax is not there (triangle offence); D12 needs a great PG. LA is just a leverage for ORL in my opinion, and he will not go there on the scenarios that have been reported!
He has LA on his list. Everyone here keeps saying the Nets are still on his list.. guess what... so are the Lakers
by orangeeater on Jan 24, 2012 12:33 PM EST up reply actions
= means nothing!!!
Dallas on his list as well. That only means he would accept playing in such markets, however, it would have to be with the right players.
He will not play with Kobe and bunch of nobodies.
He will not play with Dirk and bunch of nobodies.
He will not play with D-Will and bunch of nobodies.
Difference, Dirk and Kobe have contracts that are “out of this world”, on the other hand D-Will’s contract would not even be close to that. Furthermore, Nets have the most flexibility, and would allow him to be the MAN. Not so much in LA and Dallas (Kobe and Dirk are living legends respectively).
One last thing. D12 would rather play with a great PG than any other great something else. Why? I thin you should know that !!!
All we know is Dwight wants to play in any of the cities.. He would take a trade to LA Lakers or Nets...
so yes he would play with an aging Kobe. or Dirk
As a free agent, it is a different story I agree.. But if the Lakers are on his trade list, you cant say he doesnt want to go there.. it makes no sense
What we know is we offered Lopez and 5#1 picks and they said no. And that was before Lopez was hurt (I think). All we can do to improve things is add MarShon.. I dont think that is enough if the Lakers offer Pau and Bynum, which they will
by orangeeater on Jan 24, 2012 12:42 PM EST up reply actions
There is a difference of what ORL wants and what D12 wants!
I’m not saying Bynum and Pau would not do it. It probably would, but D12 would not want to be part of LA with Kobe and nobody else. Think about it, Kobe will be making mid $20 mill for the rest of his contract. That’s alot of money !!!
D12 can tell them I will opt out if traded in such a situation, and that would kill the LA deal.
He will have a big role of where he lands and around what players. Worst case scenario he will become a FA … will he lose 30mill, yes! but he can easily make that up in a market like NY (unlike D-Will – he’s not on that superstar level).
All above are opinions of course, my point is that this is not as simple as “QUITE OBVIOUS” as you make it to be.
no a realist.
Brook Lopez’s value is uncertain coming off a foot injury. What if the Magic get him and then Cleveland offers him a 4/44 deal. Maybe they would be scared to match that. Getting a RFA who tou dont have time to fully evaluate is risky
Brooks is great,, I like him a lot.. but if Lopez is the center piece of our deal.. it is not that strong of an offer. LA can and will offer more.
The Lakers pick and Dallas pick shouldnt be horrible .
Plus, if we get Howard, our pick drifts closer to 10th than 1st…

DWill for Melo? In a heartbeat!
Broussard has a new column today discussing 5 potential trades that would make sense for both teams. One of the trades he mentioned is DWill for Melo, and is based upon the premise that Dwight Howard is traded to someone other than the Nets (in his scenario, DH12 and Ryan Anderson are traded to the Clippers for Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan).
Based upon a hypothetical scenario in which (i) the Nets are not getting Dwight Howard and (ii) as a result of not getting DH12, Deron Williams tells Billy King that he is going to leave the Nets after the season, I would trade him for Carmelo in a heartbeat.
Despite what Deron has said publicly, I would imagine he would likely re-sign with the Knicks, so it would work on their end if Deron gives assurances that he would re-sign with them after the season.
The trade would work for us for the following reasons:
1. We get an All Star level player, who (critically) would be locked up for the next 4 seasons;
2. It fills our GAPING HOLE at Small Forward;
3. If preserves our cap flexibility and we would have $18 million + to spend in the off season; and
4 Most importantly, it sends the message the “COMRADE PROKHOROV ALWAYS GETS HIS MAN” even if it takes a year to do so (LOL!)
Trading DWill for Melo would allow us to go into Brooklyn with Melo, Brook Lopez, MarShon Brooks, a great draft pick or two (go Houston!) in a fairly deep draft, and a lot of cap space to sign free agents, or trade for more talent (a PG such as Rajon Rondo if Danny Ainge decides to blow things up in Boston?).
Clearly Dwight + Deron is Plan A, but trading Deron for Melo might be a pretty good Plan B
Melo is great shooter but...
He is god awful on defense and kills every play with his iso. But hey if deron is guaranteed to leave I’d still take melo. Wouldn’t that be a slap to his face haha
There is ZERO chance we send anything to the Knicks
Puff, puff, and pass that.

LOL ESPN
Derrick Rose, Richard Hamilton lead banged-up Bulls past Nets
A look at the list of injured might suggest the Bulls are falling apart. Their comprehensive victory implies just the opposite — that Chicago is once again building a championship-caliber team.
Yep, this Nets game was a real test for them. They answered the call!!!
"A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy."
Nets have no one injured MarShon and Lopez are scrubs I guess!
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
BULLS defeat shorthanded exhausted Nets
REST OF NBA PUT ON NOTICE

Thibodeau's screaming on every possession souned pretty scary
He really pushes his guys.
