Nets' Positives Can't Outweigh Negatives and They Lose to Hawks

PrintFor the third time in 10 days, the Nets lost to the Hawks and although there were some positives, including multiple comebacks, they couldn't come up with a win and fell to 2-8.
After a miserable first quarter where they fell behind early and by 15, the Nets kept chipping away at the Hawks lead, bringing it down to the five on two occasions in the middle of the second half but a late surge by Atlanta, particularly Joe Johnson, pushed the Nets back down by 13 with 3:35 left. Then, improbably, the Nets led by Anthony Morrow, cut the lead to three with four seconds left following a Morrow three. The Nets could get no closer as Johnson iced it with two free throws.
For the Nets, Morrow finished with 20 points, shooting 4-for-6 from three. There was another gutty performance by MarShon Brooks, who finished with his first career double-double, 19 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 50% both overall (7-for-14) and from deep (3-for-6). Deron Williams finished with another double-double, 15 points and 14 assists, but also another mediocre shooting performance, going 6-for-17. Another positive was the play of Shawne Williams, who scored 11, including three three-pointers.
Deron Williams admitted his body language recently has been poor. “I gotta do a better job of leading these guys,” he said. “They can’t see me visibly frustrated, because that’s not good for anybody’s confidence.”
The Hawks were led by Josh Smith with 26. Johnson had 22 and Jeff Teague 20.

And in mine
Until now. I’ve defended him every game, and hope he stays…but he can at least play like the franchise player. It’s not even about the 35% shooting, blind passes, etc. And I’m sure it’s extremely frustrating being in such a shitty situation…but there’s no excuse for playing with 50% energy.

I was the closest I've ever been to the court tonight
and it really changed the way I look at the game. Deron does play like he cares, he just doesn’t trust his teammates. This team has no interior game, no midrange game, just Deron, Brooks, and putbacks by Humphries. I don’t like the way Deron is playing either though.

It’s facts. He’s not playing well, and even he said he knows it. Doesn’t mean he won’t get there, because I think he’s a top 10 player and best PG in the NBA when he’s on.

doesn’t try our best defensive PG on teague who killed us all game?

yeah regardless of that fact he is STILL our best defensive PG and likes to be a pest on D

To be honest to get mad at Avery for not playing Gaines and Sheldon Williams seems like a reach

Johan and Shelden played the exact same amount of minutes
and they were gassed from banging with Horford all game. Who else is going to play? If you wanted Jordan Williams to get some time maybe you have an argument, but I think Avery just went with what he had.
It’s not these guys faults were losing. They’re working their butts off just to hear our boos. I’m tired of hearing Nets fans complaining. It is what it is. Things are going to be improving mighty fast around here. Just wait.

it is awful
and 2-8 sounds about right considering our situation (early tough schedule, injuries, lack of talent)
but Avery HAS to put the team that gives us the best chance of winning out on the court.. and he is FAILING at that.

That's big improvement for this team
and the idea was to stay flexible. I am so glad we didn’t blow our cap space, which took us years of maneuvering and losing to obtain, on Chandler or Nene or Caron freakin Butler. This team would have been somewhat competitive with Lopez, and probably playoff caliber with AK47. Brook got hurt. It sucks. Deal with it. Things are only going up from here.

Sadly, this roster is better than the roster of the past 2 seasons
When healthy at least. The roster is awful because it’s injured. But for the money and contracts and conditions this is a decent team… if Lopez was around.

..................................
Yes, let’s blame Avery for the sloppy play off the glass and the missed wide open shots. I know you watch the games, but the stuff you post completely contradicts that.
I disagree with all your points
I think Prok knows exactly what’s going on. I think Avery is a good and passionate coach that has admitted his past mistakes and knows his strengths. I think King has put this franchise in a great position with one year on the job. Just have a little more patience Randy, the payoff is coming soon…

Aside from the TOs, Deron did not have a half bad game
15 pts, 14 assists. Obviously, though, its the turnovers that are killing us.

WIN at DC, 0-8 We should have won
Loss vs Atl, 7-3 They are better
Loss at Orl, 6-3 They are better
Loss at Atl, 7-3 They are better
Loss at Cle, 4-4 The ONLY BAD LOSS but it was on the road
Loss at Indy, 6-3 They are better
Loss at Bos, 4-4 They are better
WIN at Tor, 4-5 We are better and played like it
Loss vs Mia, 8-1 They are better
Loss vs Atl, 7-3 They are better
-Our schedule would have been tough with or without Lopez
-We have only had 4 home games and they were hard Mia, Indy, Atl x 2
- As long as we beat the lower level teams we might actually have a chance at the playoffs. We can ease Lopez back into the lineup since our schedule will be alot easier the 2nd half.

It's hard to play like a super star
When you don’t have any talent playing with you. Marshon is the only talented player in the lineup right now other then Deron. Morrow is too inconsistent.
The very LAST thing that ANYONE on the Nets is to call Deron out.

This team will change
When we have big men who can catch and finish…Not allow other teams to play 5 on 4 defense and cut off lanes because they float away from a liability on our offense.
deron doesnt deserve to be an all star this year, and hopefully he isnt voted in.
next year sure lets see what happens, but his play this year so far is awful
Honestly the way we play right now i think we can win Next 3 out of 4 game

There is NO excuse for our poor perimeter rotations on D
leaving people wide open time after time after time.
here's their biggest problem
the Nets decided for better or worse to go for it all on Howard.
that meant not going after other players they had a shot at and waiting to do anything.
that left them with few decent choices and players who joined camp later than other teams.
Then, Lopez went down and others wound up with nagging injuries.
Thats the facts.

That has nothing to do with leaving opponents wide open
I get the lack of talent on O can’t be worked, but it is just INEXCUSABLE that guys are conceding wide open J all the time. That is all about HUSTLE, EFFORT and WORKING on a defensive system that doesn’t make our D look like a shootaround for the opponents.

yes it does
if you go into the season with FOUR players in the rotation having two or few practices before the opener and TWO practices during the early part of the season what do you expect?
The four for the record are Okur, Stevenson, Humphries, Shw. Williams

He is a good coach. Not the best…. but a good coach. The only game he lost us was the game he didnt tell our players we were out of time outs.
This game was easily won if Lopez or Okur were playing. The lack of a decent center is why we lost. Looking at the boxscore clearly shows this.

I think we would have been 2-1 against Hawks with Brook, but that is no excuse for making the same mistakes every single game. We have a losing pattern, last year it was the third quarters, this year the firsts. This is more about coaching than quality of the roster.

Говорю на русском. Дерону тяжело играть без хороших больших игроков, Хамфрис сильно ограничен в атаке, а все остальные игроки глубокого запаса.. Все соперники знают что он будет искать Брукса или Морроу. Большое количество потерь происходит из за не понимания . Да он потерял свой бросок в этом его проблема. Но не нужно его поливать грязью. Ховард хочет играть именно с ним. Очевидно что наша игра налаживается. Морроу все больше напоминает себя прошлогоднего. Фармар тоже обретает себя. Брукс как обычно очень хорош. Кто нибудь из вас узнав о травме Лопеса предполагал что мы будем играть значительно лучше?

Not this guy's fault. This is how google translates what is probably perfect Russian:
I speak Russian. Deron hard to play without a good big players, Humphries is very limited in attack, while all other players in-depth stock. All the competitors know that he would seek the Brooks or Morrow. A large number of losses is due to not understanding. Yes, he lost his shot at this his problem. But no need to sling mud. Howard wants to play with it. It is clear that our game is getting better. Morrow, more and more like themselves than last year. Farmar also finds itself. Brooks, as usual very good.

Based on everything we've read/heard over the last couple of days:
We should NOT trade for Dwight. MarShon is far too valuable. So are Brook and our draft picks in an amazing draft year. L.A. is probably even less inclined to deal Bynum now. Dwight, according to Otis, only wants a big market, meaning he wouldn’t stay in Atlanta or Golden State.
If we wait until free agency, our competitor is obviously Dallas, but they would just barely be able to combine Dirk, Deron, and Dwight, and the supporting cast would probably be TERRIBLE. We, meanwhile, would have an amazing supporting cast around Deron and Dwight.
Are you kidding you would rather play like this? Dwight is a top 3 player and would change this franchise..Marshon isnt even close to Dwight

For all the people saying Deron wants out
I watched him closely at the game, from very close to the court. He was upbeat, upset at people missing assignments, mad at himself, laughing with teammates, and going up to every Nets player after the game and giving them high fives.
He knows this team is flawed and dead without Lopez. The fact they are playing this hard is encouraging.
Without Lopez, we are devastated. His words. He isn’t quitting, he is just playing poorly.
Brooks looks like the best player on the court. Amazing to say that about a rookie.

But it’s a mixture of that type of confidence but undersized (small). He literally has no fear on the floor and it doesn’t appear that a bad play or rookie mistake makes him lose confidence.

Marshon is making our package for Dwight better than LA's imo
potential ROY and great scorer for years to come. Brook who is an established young 20 ppg center. A lotto pick that is shaping up to be great in a stacked draft. They’re not gonna find anything better than that. That’s about on par with what the Hornets got.

Dallas's pick is going to be about 20th
And while we as Nets fans are biased and downgrade competing trade offers (the Knicks offer stinks- Gallo, Chandler, and Mozgov won;t get it done!)… Bynum is having a great year. Chris Mannix (who many regard as a good writer) said Bynum’s injury history is overblown
his injury history is NOT overblown
go look at how many games hes missed throughout his career. I’m no doctor but 7 footers with 2 bad knees and multiple ACL surgeries don’t last long in the NBA.
by William_H_HOLLA on Jan 9, 2012 10:50 PM EST up reply actions
and neither is Chris Mannix. but I think he has a better reputation as a NBA analyst than you
and he said Bynum is not injury prone.. his last injury was caused by Kobe running into his knee…
but pretend Bynum isn’t a worthwhile trade chip.. Lopez isn’t close to Bynum in fact
Oh and Lopez’s foot injury isn’t good news either
Bynum is better Lopez when they're both healthy
Thing is Bynum has missed 246 games in his career due to injury and he’s only 24. Let that marinate for a minute before you try to tell me his injury history is “overblown”. Those are facts that really happened, not my analysis. Lopez has missed 8 games in his 3 seasons as a pro.
by William_H_HOLLA on Jan 9, 2012 10:55 PM EST up reply actions
I think the problem here is
As of now, neither has been “healthy” when the other one is. Every single time they’ve matched up, Lopez has destroyed him and made him look like Petro.
Will be interesting to see, no matter what happens, how they matchup when they are both finally fully healthy (next year?).
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Lopez is a better scorer but I think Bynum is an all around better player
He can dominate a game on D and on the boards unlike Lopez. But yea I’d love to see them matched up in a competitive game not garbage time like most Lakers-Nets games are after the 1st quarter.
by William_H_HOLLA on Jan 9, 2012 10:59 PM EST up reply actions
Ok sure
Except when they faced off head to head, he made Petro look like an elite defender. How good is his D when Lopez goes off for 25+ whenever they meet?
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Lopez has punked plenty of good defensive centers in his career
Like I said he’s a great scoring big man. He’ll do that from time to time. But watching Bynum this season it’s clear he is the better defender and can shut down good centers when he’s on. Lopez and Bynum have played against each other, what 3 times? Small sample size.
by William_H_HOLLA on Jan 9, 2012 11:06 PM EST up reply actions
Lopez doesn't do it "from time to time"
He does it every game on a 20PPG average. Sometimes he’ll only get 14, sometimes he’ll get 30.
But yes, Lopez is an inferior defender and rebounder. Bynum is the better prototype center. But here we are in an era where the PG dominates all.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
then why are you discrediting bynum for letting lopez get his numbers on him?
the only center in the league that i’ve seen consistently shut down Brook is Dwight. I even remember a game in Brook’s rookie season where he got off on Dwight for 20/10.
by William_H_HOLLA on Jan 9, 2012 11:11 PM EST up reply actions
you're missing the bigger picture
Lopez has annihilated Bynum head-to-head. Four meetings in 3 years, and Brook’s dominance keeps increasing. The last time he outscored Bynum 35 to 2.

all I'm saying is
It is apparent that in 2012.. Bynum is the 2nd best center in the NBA
And a top analyst said Bynum is not injury prone..
Lopez has a reputation as being soft. Not a good thing for a center.. Lopez is basically Big-Z or a better Brad Miller.. Bynum can be 2nd Team all-NBA
how is he not injury prone?
246 games missed, 24 years old. there’s no way to objectively say he isn’t injury prone. i don’t care who said it. look at the facts. on the same note lopez could be big Z 2.0 and be plagued with foot problems the rest of his career. bynum is still injury prone.

Well on the positive side, we have had one of the toughest schedules so far! For crying outloud, we have already played Atlanta three times.
We are starting to gell. We would have won tonight is Stevenson was here to guard Joe Johnson. We also have to realize that our offense ran through Brook and with him going down before we even played a regular season, we were not prepared to deal with that loss of a post presence. We do have some bright spots. Deron and Marshon. Brook will be solid when he returns. We just need a starter at the three.

they are dribbling, because no one is moving.
i’ve seen 2-3 guys standing together several times during the game. just can’t do that.
Follow me on Twitter @R0nito
I have to agree there..
There is certainly a lot of dribbling. And Sheldon Williams needs to get out of the low post on offense. He is best at the top corners of the key screening or taking a handoff and becoming a passer. He gets too much butter on his fingers under the basket.
If he has to be on the court (and he does when the next option is Petro), Avery has to see his weaknesses and get away from them.
On that note..one thing I do blame Deron for is that he continues to go to Sheldon and Petro in positions where they should make a play but have proven time and time again, they will turn it over more ofetn than not. Deron makes the right play in general but the wrong play for not recognizing the weakness of his personnel. He’s playing with half a deck now and he has to realize the limitations of his team mates.
i think he does recognize that
when he pulls up for a P&R 3 pointer 6 seconds into the shot clock

AT&T UVERSE TV SUCKS!
I switched to AT&T from Comcast about six months ago. I used to pay extra for League Pass. I called AT&T last week, to “order” league pass. The IDIOT on the phone told me that it was included for me because I have super duper whatever level service. Since Christmas, League Pass has been having a “free preview” and I was getting games, that I thought and was told was part of my “package”. Well today comes, the free preview is over, and poooof the games are not on my TV. So, it’s 732 and I call AT&T to turn the games on, and I am ready with my credit card, and THESE IDIOTS ARE CLOSED FOR THE DAY. At least Comcast had 24 hour customer service. AT&T sucks, don’t switch from Comcast. I am sorry that I switched, and will switch back. IDIOTS. I watch TV 24/7, and pay them for 24/7, and they have no 24/7 customer service.

This team has no bigs who can finish with authority
other than Hump. But I’ll tell you the two things that every good team has that we are lacking: First, a PF or C who can knock down the open 15-20 footer. We’ve seen it over and over- Bass, Horford, West, Garnett, Amare and even second tier players like Big Baby, Collison and McRoberts. It’s a pressure release valve when the penetrating guard gets too deep. He can kick it out to these guys, and like Ian was saying about West, it’s like a layup for these guys. They make 80% of them.
Second, (and this is no big secret), a strong two guard who can create, penetrate and finish. Marshon’s not there yet, and Morrow and James dont have the handle or explosiveness to finish strong, especially if there’s contact. Consequently, we are forced to run pick and rolls on every play with big men who can’t finish with thunderous dunks, can’t pop out for open 15 footers (and no, I don’t consider Petro’s or Hump’s jumpsuit consistent enough) or we kick it out to a “3 point specialist” who may or may not be able to hit the broad side of a barn.
When Brook comes back, we’ll have some help in that arena, but we will still be lacking someone who could do the type of thing Joe Johnson did to us tonight.
We really need a 3
We get outmatched at SF consistently and have none that can score. We have no Melo-lite (or slasher like Igudola or even a guy like AK47)
Jumpsuit?
No autocorrect, that was supposed to say “jump shot”, although I’d kinda like to see Frenchy or Hump in a jumpsuit.
Honestly, i dont know if ith the right move to trade marshon along with Brook and this years pick.
I think including marshon would be bidding against ourselves. Especially if dwight tries to force his way here.
We know that marshon most definitely will be a 20 ppg scorer and maybe 26 one day. He is averaging 15 after 10 games in his rookie season, not as a primary go to guy on a bad offensive team. But when he gets the ball, he puts the ball in the basket. HE is quick, can get to the lane, make tough shots, hit the three, hustles, showed he can rebound and also can move the ball around to set up his teammates. I really think that this guy is the real deal and definitely dont think we should include him just to appease Orlando, if Dwight only wants us. If orlando becomes stubborn than we will sign Dwight in free agency and will be in better shape as a franchise than ever before.
As NetsKing and I say often
I will personally pay for MarShon’s first class ticket to Orlando if it means we are getting Dwight.

Because Orlando says no?
Other than that, nothing
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
So if they say no, than we take him for free in free agency. I am fine with that.
The offer that i said above is definitely better than just bynum.
If they say no and trade him to the Lakers
You wouldn’t be saying on March 16th that Billy should’ve just given up Marshon?
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
If they say on march 14th that we have a deal with LA and Dwight will resign there than you include him.
But i do not want to bid against ourselves.
Not if LA isn't sure he'll stay
And they would need to include Gasol and/or take back Turk to get considered. If Orlando liked and wanted Bynum so badly he would be on the Magic by now.

If pau ad Bynum are included...
The lakers would be in words shape than they are now… Dwight and his agent should communicate there status and make it hard for Orlando to con us into giving up marshon along wit lopez and the draft pick.

Lets remember that Billy can have direct contact with Dan Fegan, and if Dwight want to get here with the nets offering a nice deal than he should be here.

why are so many people thinking this is a bad thing
this only makes the nets offer better.
King wont have to worry about swingin some 5 team 18 player deal to get Orlando Gerald Wallace, Chris Kaman, and Monta Ellis
If Marshon is playing like the 2nd best rookie(behind Ricky) in March then its 10 times easier to persuade orlando to take Lopez, Marshon, and the 2012 pick and get to keep everyone else and just take Dwight and Hedo back

Soooorry About The AT&T Rant...
I’m just pissed off that I didn’t see MarShon and Morrow combine for 39 points. I see Deron is still shooting poorly. Is Avery showcasing Farmar so that he can be moved to OKC? They need a backup PG, as theirs went down for the season. AND great news….Dallas recalled Yi from the D-League. With Yi back in the NBA, the real season can now begin. I bet he wins sixth man of the year. Another Stephen Jackson!
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
Sheldon Williams is worth every penny we are paying him
Which is really not much at all. He’s playing like the perfect backup center and I hope we can keep him if we trade for Dwight.

Amen to that. Poorly used on offense though and as I’ll maintain I blame Avery Johnson for that. This team is living on the perimeter and when the big get those offensive rebounds the coaches have to make sure they know to get the ball back out.
The most frustrating thing on earth is that time and time again our bigs are getting key O-bounds and wasting them on failed put backs. Where is the coaching staff on that?
I get the frustration on that
But guys who are 2 feet from the rim are going to feel like their best bet is to go back up with it.

alright so now that deron has admitted that his body language has been bad
and that he needs to change, can people, including Net Income, stop telling fans they are not capable of making that judgment about body language and attitude, because those fans were right. deron just said it. the idea that were not able to read body language that was that obvious from our TV screens is absurd, and deron just confirmed what we’ve been saying. glad to see that he knows he needs to change it, and i really hope he does.
I think that Deron doesn't do it on purpose...
It’s just his natural body language. He realizes it’s bad probably from his other teammates.
We’re moving in the right direction—very slowly.
he may very well not do it on purpose
hes an extreme competitor and id get frustrated with this team too. but whether or not its warranted or not or he does it self consciously or not, he still does it and i was just annoyed that fans on here including myself were getting ridiculed for not being capable to be able to read body language when it was so obvious and like i said I’m really happy he’s acknowledged it and is willing to move in the right direction
I agree with that...
Nets have had it tough. We gotta move past this as a fan base. I care about our team deeply and hope that we make some improvements.
you guys are making a jump in logic
that you are not qualified to make.
Bad body language, even if its there, does not mean he wants out.
I am very very tired to trying to suggest alternatives to the subjective long distance analysis.

I agree with you NI
I think it’s just how Deron reacts in general in many aspects. I don’t think it correlates with him wanting out at all. It’s way too early to tell on that one.

When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
you can see what the hype was about
Tonight they found him in the offense and he did some chin-ups on the rim lol.
He said he wants to come back but that money is tempting.
Calhoun tells his players when they’re ready to go pro so if he values the coach opinion he’ll stay.
Jeremy Lamb has range on his shot I’d like him to stay another year to bulk up more.
It was a good game no stress lol.

because this team (if 100% healthy) would not be too bad! — We could have traded for Okur anyway, let’s assume we did.
Deron, Brooks, Stevenson, Humphries Lopez = First Team
Farmar, Morrow, Damion James, Shawne Williams, Okur = Second Team
Would be a lot better than 2-8. I’d say 5-5 easily.
D-WIll + D12 = NETS 2012 Champs (with lots of luck)

We probably would have AK right now, not Okur
He’d make us even better.

if Lopez never got hurt they wouldn't need Okur
He’s ok but the better move would be trading picks for Paul Milsap imo.

I can't believe
People are complaining this much over the game tonight. Extra E looked pretty good, MarShon looked great, Ammo was awesome, D-Will solid play. The Hawks are better. That’s it. Nets fought, bad 1st Q did them in.
Get over it and enough with this hating on Billy King for no depth stuff. It’s what’s necessary for Dwight. We all knew this. Ugh, just annoying.
yeah exactly. but it still hurts to lose though lol

Question: what do guys think the record would have been if the dwight trade had went through before the season started?
10-0 either way
Dwight or Bust
Nets lose 33+ games this season.

Totally agree with NI from an earlier comment...
Nets did virtually nothing to bring in the talent needed to win ball games by putting all their eggs in the Dwight Howard basket. We really have an amazing team of role players, but no starting talent. You add some real talent with these role players and we have a ball club.
And this Avery hate and these Avery firing comments needs to stop. Avery is a good coach doing the best he can with this pathetic roster. Stop it.
Elone you talked to billy and you warned us not to expect anything until mid march, Nd you wont share the Convo but my question is of course you talked Dwight, so did you the feel that billy can pull this off?

is a restricted free-agent. He’ll get the max from Minnesota, but he may take less to play with the Nets if they get Dwight/keep Deron. We’ll also need to flip Lopez and more.

I really dont know what people expected
when your leading scorer goes down for two months in the last preseason game, four rotation players go into the season with fewer than two practices, the team has the worst starting schedule in the NBA (four home games in the first 14 against mostly playoff teams) and nagging injuries require eight different starting lineups.
The Nets tonight looked like a team that was starting to figure out what they needed to do on offense, shooting 46% over and 50% from deep, with three players hitting better than 50%. Shawne Williams for the first time looked like the guy they rewarded with their only multi-year deal. Deron Williams had 15 points and 14 assists (and an almost 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio is quite acceptable).
And MARSHON BROOKS is the steal of the draft. It is not even debatable. He is averaging a fraction of a point less than the overall #1 pick and each and every time he gets a new challenge, he proves he’s up to it.

Petro is the only problem
hopefully Memo is ready to go because Johan is just a bad basketball player. there’s no way around it. Now I see why France didnt even bother to invite him to national team tryouts

Wait a minute...
I’ve been bragging and debating with my co-workers that DWill is a top ten player in this league. Tbh, ive only followed him a little wen he was in Utah so im only taking and using what u guys having been saying about DWill when we got him. Now i look like a fool!
I mean, based on what ive been seeing from him, no matter the circumstances are, isnt he what we call an overrated player? I mean, i dont see anything spectacular about him and all he does is show faces when he makes a TO like its not his fault.

hey guys went 2 the game 2day
just wanted 2 say. wish dwill could take over more. show hes the leader. its much 2 early 2 give marshon that role. but i think this kid has the skill 2 b a big time scorer. love his flow. also our D needs a change. there always is 1 man open and all the other team has 2 do is keep passing till we break down. which is like 3-4 passes. our offense is streaky but we need 2 step up our D if we want 2 b good. btw where was stevenson? i was expecting him 2 lock down joejohnson.
Lopez
This injury may be a blessing in the development of Lopez. He gets to sit and watch the game and what he needs to do for the team to win. He also sees how important he is to this team, he is the anchor in the middle. This may give him a confidence boost. He’s also gotta be drooling at the looks he is going to get playing with Brooks and Deron in the backcourt.
Lopez injury may be a blessing in desguise...
cause it keeps Nets from trading him to Orlando and forces Howard to sign in the off-season.

glad to see
that D-Will realizes his body language has been just as bad as his play. Whether someone told him that or not is besides the point, it takes a man to admit something like that.
Maybe I was wrong about his attitude after all, I hope I am.
Had D-Will played up to his ability last night the Nets could have won that game.
by MrDollarBills on Jan 10, 2012 8:02 AM EST reply actions 1 recs
seriously...
…was actually discussing with the wifey last night how DWill looks like he either wants out OR he just needs to learn to persevere through the losing and learn how to be a leader as well from it. We’ll see. But I’m glad to see he admitted to his body language. That’s step 1.
People see the new look for Sammi from Jersey Shore?
The “make-under” was basically taking off all her makeup and going with her natural hair color and a natural hair-do. A huge difference. Went from looking like mall trash to someone you’d bring home to momz.

First quarter woes
We have been terrible at the beginning of games, regularly falling behind and then we do not have the skill to catch up despite some decent effort. This is a coaching challenge. So what does Avery do last night? He apparently decides that the answer is to establish Johan Petro. Petro takes three shots in the first three minutes, has lots of touches, racks up two points and a turnover, and we are down ten points by the time Avery subs for him after eight minutes.
Everyone knows Petro is a stiff, but you can at least limit the damage he does by having him just be a defensive presence and rebounder. But who could possibly think that it makes sense to give him the ball on the offensive end? Avery. Nuff said.
59-7
excellent point
If Okur’s still out, anybody looking forward to Petro starting the next game?
As with the Gaines-DWill starting backcourt, before he makes adjustments, Avery likes to repeat his mistake a few more times just to make sure he really got it wrong.
Morrow and Shawnee start hitting a few shots...
and DWill produces 14 assists, that’s what he needs to do for Nets to start winning games… hopefully guys like Morrow, Shawnee, Stevenson, Okur and Farmar can start making life easier for Deron.
