Eight Is Enough As Nets Hang On To Beat Pistons

PrintEight healthy Nets were enough to beat Lawrence Franks's Pistons on Wednesday. It got uncomfortable at the end, but the Nets picked up their third home win of the season, a 99-96 victory.
The game was tied after the first quarter, but the Nets outscored the Pistons 26-15 in the second. They led by as many as 12 midway through the third, but the Pistons came all the way back and took a brief lead late in the period. The game was tied midway through the fourth when the Nets took control with a 7-1 run. Then Detroit cut the lead back down to two in the final minute and had a chance to tie or take the lead. After Tayshaun Prince missed a turnaround jumper, Sundiata Gaines hit one of two at the line with 1.8 seconds left, leaving the door open. But Brandon Knight's game-tying three was off the mark (and late).
The Nets shot 48 percent from the field and outrebounded the Pistons 44-31. Deron Williams led the way with 26 points and nine assists, hitting 12 of his 21 shots. Kris Humphries added 18 points and eight rebounds, Jordan Farmar scored 15 points in his first start, and Shelden Williams grabbed 11 boards.

brought back memories
seeing Detroit going down by double digits and Frank calling the timeout. He was really predictable with calling those.
I like when coaches (like Avery) let the team keep playing. With a coach like Frank, I think players might stop trying hard if they are pretty sure a timeout is about to be called.

OMG Deron just leave already. Clearly doesn’t care about winning. This team would be just fine without him. DERONG

Ahhh somewhat he has a jumper Boone didn't have and softer hands
He needs more minutes to get comfortable to shoot make moves off the dribble or in the post etc. Not just grab it and pass it when open.

I see a desire in J-will to be a good defender and offensive player.
His physical abilities limit him from becoming a special player but I could see him being better than Josh Boone, who I thought was a statue.
He looks alright out there.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
Good win
One thing to note, Nets had a lineup of Gaines, DWill, Bogans, JWill, and Humphries for a few minutes in the second quarter.
In that span, they played just about the best defense I’ve seen from the Nets since the Kidd days. Granted, this is a weak Pistons team, but I was just impressed with the help and the rotations were very crisp. We pretty much smothered them which led to 24 second violations, bad shot attempts, and whatnot.
We held them to 15 points in that quarter, I hope Avery emphasizes this, because I’m sick and tired of our porous defense letting marginal players look like all-stars. If we truly want to change the culture of this team, its starts with the defense.

Simmons put it best:
Watching the league’s only dominant center treat his final Orlando season with that same glazed/trapped/hostage-like look in his eyes that Katie Holmes has … it’s been pretty fun, right? Not since 2007-08 Kobe (right before the Pau Gasol trade) have we watched a superstar put up killer numbers this effortlessly while remaining emotionally detached the entire time; it takes a special level of talent to dominate games while simultaneously mailing them in.
Which is why you trade what you have to in order to get him.

Didn’t like how the Pistons got a little too close for comfort at the end, but great all around effort. I thought for sure that we had finally had a better shooting night than our opponents, but I see that’s not the case (48.8% versus 48.1% for us). Seemed like the Pistons had a foul a minute there.

Quick mini-poll (did this earlier):
Just want to gauge something: Who is the better player, Russell Westbrook or Deron Williams?
This is not even a question in my opinion.
Westbrook is a star, but he’s not a superstar. He’s a freaky athletic knucklehead.
Don’t ask this question again man ….
Numbers suggest that Westbrook is better. I believe he’s better. Just curious to observe how ND would react.
What numbers?

So because I say DWill I'm not being objective?
That’s totally unfair considering Deron is the better player.

dwill can do everything and doesn’t depend on scoring.
not many players can make the players around them better and deron is one of them hands down
westbrook is good but his impact as a PG is not even close to deron’s

Well
That may be true, but if I recall it was only due to getting big minutes in garbage time as we got blown out. I think Wright went like 14 and 10, got a ton of minutes, and then started the next game—and was absolutely atrocious for the rest of the season. I don’t miss him one bit.

Max, I know I can get an objective assessment from you...

Williams is better at orchestrating an offense, but Westbrook himself is a much more efficient offensive player as indicated by statistics.

Is this your assessment of this season so far, or so far in their careers?

Well, I don’t think comparing their careers makes much sense because of the disparity in sample (and age).
Right now, for me:
1) Paul
2) Rose
3) Westbrook
4) Williams/Nash
5) Rondo
Maybe you can help with this.
Is Westbrook’s USG% the reason his WS/48 is .110 lower than Rose? Most of their stats are nearly identical
I’m not familiar with the formula
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
Combination of disparity in USG%, pace-adjustment and small differences in TOV%, eFG% and AST%.
(Look at the difference in OWS.)
Interesting how those slight percentage differences create such a great disparity.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
Well, part of that is that the sample isn’t yet stable.
Also: One of the key contributors to OWS is “points produced” — this is where we find a notable difference between Westbrook and Rose. (Remember: It’s a fractional measurement.)
Alright then.
I feel enlightened.

They were pretty close in 2011.
DWill was much better in 2010, though. I probably take DWill because I want my PG to be able to command the offense and Westbrook’s decision making is poor at times.

The Heat have offered contracts to both Joel Przybilla and Kenyon Martin, their agents told ESPN.com. Przybilla is expected to make a choice between the Chicago Bulls and Heat, according to agent Bill Duffy. Martin is interested in several teams, with the Heat in the mix, according to agent Andy Miller.
by Andrew Flynn on Feb 1, 2012 11:13 PM EST up reply actions
The Nets should definitely try for Martin
He would be a great backup to Kris Humphries, and if Humphries ever gets into early foul trouble, Kenyon would do well with the starters.
Deron Williams is a good enough point guard to get Kenyon easy dunks. Think of all those passes Deron made where:
a) Petro didn’t even attempt a shot because he couldn’t handle the pass
b) Sheldon was blocked because he went up weakly with a layup instead of a dunk or just missed because it was a layup and not a dunk
The only question is if Kenyon is willing to come here for vet’s minimum. Perhaps DWill can convince Kenyon that his presence would virtually guarantee Dwight Howard to arrive and all of them together could contend for a championship next year?

Favors and Kanter front line will be a dominant duo in the future. They are both backups at the moment behind Jefferson and Millsap.
Much respect to the Jazz GM. Didn’t let any Melodrama or Dwightmare to begin (plus the simple Okur trade)
Sent DWill to the Nets for Harris, Favors, Kanter & a pick in the 8-12 range this season.
If/when DWill resigns, it will be a true win/win.
In fact rooting for the Jazz.

Well the NetsDaily community seems to have an affinity lately for over-hyping mediocre players as the answer to all of the problems of the Nets.
It still rings true.

It's straight up classic white Flatbush
He used to be a pretty gung-ho pro-Brooklyn guy; he was always rumored to join the Nix under Donnie Walsh but it would be great if he was somehow affiliated in our FO or got behind the Nets. I went to high school with his cousin and met him at a block party a few times—super nice guy, always very classy.

I was just thinking the same thing. I like this kid. I think his college game translates to the NBA. We certainly needed him last night, with so many players out. I’d like to see him get 15 minutes a game, even when some of our wounded come back.
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
I definitely see him as a capable big. He seemed to be able to catch the ball
Which is a huge plus over guys like Shelden. Not taking anything away from Shelden, he’s been great for us.
Fegan is everywhere lmao
Bogans, an eight-year veteran with the reputation of a tough defender and good 3-point shooter, started all 82 regular-season games for the Bulls and then 16 in the playoffs last season. The Bulls, OK? So there are some questions that really don’t seem to have an answer: How did they really build the pyramids and why the heck was Bogans out of work so long?
"I have no clue," said Bogans, a 6-foot-5 guard with a new agent — Dan Fegan, who also represents Dwight Howard. "I just could take care of what I could, and that’s work out every day. Stay ready."

Good find.

I’d take a Beasley, if they are willing or Martell Webster from MInny.
Maybe to our buddy in Utah for CJ Miles (probably leave in free agency) and Tinsley (just so they don’t have a logjam at PG.
he showed immediately
why he has such a reputation for defense.
liked his pre-game interview too. great pickup. Fratello felt that way as well.

Good Post aunt-B.
BTW, I got a mixed (1/2) Border Collie pup (1/4 Golden Retirever) a few weeks ago. What they say about Border Collies being superactive is true.
My 13 year old dog, Buffy, is still going strong, so she doesn’t suspect I am getting her replacement.
What is the other 1/4?
Would love a BC, but the high energy thing nixed that. I don’t like exercising myself, def not for the dog. Wish dogs were allowed to come along when golfing.

Congrats jerry on the new puppy.
You will have your hands full! Does your new baby have a good appetite? Retrievers are nortorious for eating you out of “house and home!”
By the way what did you name the puppy? I’ll guess at it since you are a tv buff and already have a dog named “Buffy” did you by any chance name her/him “Jody?” Lol, “A Family Affair”
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven"
She is now 12 wks old. I was going to name her Houdini (for escaping from every restraint) but ended up with Panda because of her current "stocky" build and white w/ cute black areas, especially on face and ears, as well as in honor of my sister-in-law
BTW, “Pande” means a Fat person in Mandarin and there is a totally different Chinese name that is used for the Bear.
The other 1/4 is Cocker Spaniel.
Just to keep this a basketball post, Panda sometimes watches NetsDaily in my lap when I am posting (it keeps her quite and still for a few moments)
Until I have the ambition to get a cute photo online, the sneezing Panda puppy in this video and this photo will have to do:

what do u mean?
bogans made a clutch play down the stretch and he played tough defense the whole time, shawne was a beast tonight and hit his 3s…both played well but it sucks if the beat writers are ignoring one
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
I really like the Bogans pickup actually
When he first got in he was harassing Tayshaun Prince with his hands, blocking all of his passing lanes, and just being a pest. We now have a guy who has started many games in his career, and handful of playoff games. Larry Owens, for as nice a story as that was, sort of looked starstruck out there. When he would commit a foul or miss a shot he looked actually nervous. Bogans came out and played like a veteran and he will only get more acclimated…..needs to hit those reverse layups, though. Mikan drills!
"Mercer pushes it, Buford streaking, the dish...OOOOOOOOOH A MAN'S JAM!!!!"
Classic NETS.
Beats in the first half, disappeared in the second, offensively.
Still nice to see him put up some points, what he was brought here to do.
Plus minus isn't a great nba stat

Are Nets resting MarShon and his little toe, so he can be ready for ORL to see healthy before a DH trade?
I bet Kobe would be playing with the same injury, as long as there wasn’t painful swelling.
Did Nets get Bogans because they plan to lose a couple of guards (one named Brooks) soon and Stevenson is out?
Nets need more help at SF right now, unless Shawne can be available to give big minutes.
Is there any confirmation that Larry Owens' salary wasn't guaranteed?
Storytellers says Owens has a 608,000 guaranteed salary. I don’t think BK would have made the move right before the deadline to cut non-guaranteed contracts if that was the case.
If Owens was non-guaranteed, perhaps the addition of Bogans only cost less than $200,000 additional to cap, while still maintaining next year’s cap space (to keep ORL fearful of losing DH for nothing).
