PrintThe Nets go into Detroit with nine healthy players, including one All-Star (Deron Williams) and one small forward (Shawne Williams). They're hoping to avoid their fifth straight loss and 20th loss for the season. After beating the Pistons by three points with eight players last week, they lost by seven with 10 players on Wednesday.
In Wednesday's game, they lost Keith Bogans, almost certainly for the season, to both a broken ankle and a complete tear of a deltoid ligament. The Nets will wait till Monday's surgery before officially announcing if there's any chance of recovery this season. The Nets are unlikely to add anyone between now and then because they'd first have to cut a player.
The Pistons, on the other hand, are trying for their fourth straight under Lawrence Frank. Detroit is actually getting healthier with only Charlie Villanueva definitely out. Will Bynum is questionable. Two of the Pistons' young players, Greg Monroe and Brandon Knight will join Marshon Brooks in the Rookie-Sophomore Challenge in Orlando.

With Bogans having little trade value (at $600K) expiring, he should be the one cut, in another week, ....
so Nets can try for a true SF.
What are Boki or Joe Alexander doing right now?
If Stevenson can return healthy (a big if) Nets would be OK for now after getting a serviceable SF.
Just Stop:
Monroe, Knight, Stuckey, Prince and Ben Gordon from scoring—and should be OK.

hahaha
That’s kinda like saying, “if we score more points then the Pistons, we will win.”
obviously if we stop their 5 best players from scoring, we will win, what kind of analysis is that?

And they don’t have an all star. Can’t wait for a game like that at home.
It helps that they have no other sports except hockey i think

and especially not the 76ers
i live in south jersey man, and everyone is a nets/knicks fan, a giants/jets fan, and yankees/mets fan, everyone hates the eagles and the phillies with a passion.
and in no way is the media controlled by philly.

Sure
I guess you can dismiss Utah, Sacramento and Portland for being one-team cities but what about the Bay Area, though? Six pro teams and GSW hasn’t truly contended in almost 40 years but their fans are still consistently legit. There really are just fanbases that are bigger/care more than others. I can’t even remember the last Nets playoff crowd that was as wild as the Kings fans were to win a regular season game.

just because his estimated time back was 6-8 weeks doesn’t mean he just comes back after seven weeks. with the all-star game approaching, they would be better suited in resting him until after the break, especially to insure his health for any possible dwight howard deals

No Doubt. All around I am liking where Jordan Williams is headed
I think the rest of the year and a traditional off-season will do him well.
He might be the only person benefiting from the team being so injured.
Brook-Brooks-Brooklyn
LET'S DO THIS!
Jeremy Williams gotta bust it out there...
Good players have good motors and J-Will needs to rev it up a notch or two. If he can get into better shape physically and stay in shape he might have a long career in the NBA. Big men with skills are always needed in the NBA…As we personally have witnessed even big men with no skill can have a career and make alot of money in the NBA…
Jeremy Williams?
Are you suggesting hes going to drop 25 on the Pistons tonight? :)

nut in the begining of the year everyone was saying he is going to make teamates look alot better… like kidd with Mikki etc… has dwill’s play helped out any of our players?
who is he playing with again?
yeah i thought we all watched Nets games this season. P Pierce played for garbage Celtic team with losing record etc dude is clearly an all star and most people following nba would say so as well.

This remind anybody of someone on the current Nets team?
Scott said that Marbury did not want to push the pace of the Nets’ up-tempo offense last season, and that in contrast to Kidd’s upbeat attitude, by the end of last season Marbury had become a negative influence on a losing team.
’’There’s a bunch of types of leaders and I like guys like Jason who are very positive and try to uplift his teammates, and Steph didn’t do that,‘’ Scott said. ’’If he did say something to his teammates, 9 times out of 10, it was negative. Sometimes you don’t have to say anything, it’s just the way you look at guys or just the way you act that lets you know you don’t really care for them or you didn’t like what they just did.
’’That’s not the type of leader that we needed. I don’t think Steph is a selfish guy. I think he wants to win, but sometimes he just doesn’t go about it the right way.’’

J Kidd maybe best PG ever
i cant put D Will or CP next to J Kidd. Dude is triple double machine
by Aidar Berlinbayev on Feb 10, 2012 8:36 AM EST up reply actions
Stockton was just a double-double machine but he was pretty good
That’s not a knock on JKidd’s special ability to also rebound but what matters most to PGs is a good mix of points and assists.
Stockton and Kidd are on the same level
As a point guard you want to look at Assists. Magic was one of the greatest ever but i think as a PG Kidd and Stockton were better than him. Magic won many championships and was always on a stacked team, it was hard for him not to be great. Kidd and Stockton were great with a horrible supporting cast.
Stockton had a horrible supporting cast? um, Karl Malone?
Give DWill today’s Malone and let’s see what happens.
I was waiting for that lol
So Karl Malone and John Stockton are a better team than Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kareem and Byron Scott?
My point is Magic Johnson had a better supporting cast. Stockton had one great player with him. While they did have a good team for a few years in the 90’s, did they win anything? I don’t see any rings on Malone or Stockton’s fingers.
okay that's not fair
you don’t see a ring on stockton or malone because of Michael Jordan era. In fact you don’t see a LOT of great hall of famers without rings solely because of Michael Jordan and the bulls era.
you know they were together for about 4 years before Phil Jackson even got to Chicago

yes that is true
but by that argument Jerry Sloan didn’t get to the Jazz until the late eighties early 90’s I believe. And I also didn’t say the Phil jackson era, i said the Michael Jordan and the bulls era.
Everyone really only remembers the rodman, pippen, kerr, longley and jordan squad but they were up and coming years before that time. that was the michael jordan i’m going to dunk on everything and anyone, hide your children days. when phil jackson came into the equation, he was more of a around jumper michael jordan, at least starting to.
i said maybe
and i never looked at Magic as a pg more like LBJ PointFor…

before the season started... everyone was expecting huge numbers from other player because of the "Dwill effect"...

most peaple expected that because he avereged 16 ass with B Lo on the floor
since we dont have B Lo and most of our players cant even catch the ball we have a problem big time

20-8 on the Nets
Hmmmm there was another player on the Nets with the same numbers but was not even mentioned in the all star conversation. In fact, pundits don’t even consider him a top 5 player at his position.

DWill should be out to prove he deserved the ASG nodd.
That is the positive (period).
Even Chris Mannix is knocking DWill selection vs. Rondo.
I asked him, if Rondo is so good, why were Celtics shopping him around, yet Nets wouldn’t consider trading DWill for anyone, even with a chance of losing him for nothing:
His response:
Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI
@jerry25a Let’s be clear: Celtics are not shopping Rondo. They will deal him for a CP3-level player. That’s it.

Ridiculous
Let’s look at it from another sport…
Are you telling me Larry Fitzgerald, Matt Forte, Cam Newton, Demarcus Ware, or Jerad Allen didn’t deserve to go to the Pro Bowl this year? None of their teams went to the playoffs.
I see a lot of hating on Deron getting selected for the All-Star game and i don’t understand why. The All-Star game in any sport is about individual talent. Deron, while playing on a bad team, is still having a good season statistically.
Deron is always in the conversation when talking about the top 5 or top 3 PGs in the league. I don’t see why this is even a topic.
Excellent points
The All-Star Game, like the Pro Bowl, highlights individual talent. If you want to say that Rondo has had a better individual year, OK. But the being on a bad team argument does nothing for me.
by ZR on Feb 10, 2012 9:34 AM EST up reply actions
one elite basketball player
has way more impact on the win/loss of his team than a single great receiver in football.
I hope they win tonight.
I think it’s quite alright to win two out of three games against a team in the same quality tier as the Nets. The previous loss to the Pistons doesn’t bother provided they win tonight to make it two out of three. That’s acceptable imo, because the teams are more or less evenly matched.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
Has there been much conversation about the NEW TWITTER?
Maybe Twitter should be a separate topic, because the changes may impact how Twitter is used.
Seems that now we can easily trace who a Celebrity is responding to, which means they have to be more careful.
Has anyone found any options that weren’t available with the previous Twitter?
Its better than the old one IMO

From DeronWilliams.com
He is currently 12th in the NBA in scoring, averaging 20.9 points. In addition, he remains one of the league’s best passers, ranking fifth at 8.6 assists per game over the first 27 games of the season. He is the only player in the NBA averaging 20 points and eight assists per game. Mike Mazzeo of ESPN New York wrote that the coaches made the right call:
It’s not like it was the fans or a committee of writers that gave D-Will the nod. It was the coaches that see him in games and evaluate him in film sessions. They know what they’re talking about — or at least most of them do. They probably realize just like the rest of us that the talent around him is sorely lacking and his assist numbers would be way up if not for all the dropped passes and turnovers. And D-Will is going to turn the ball over at a high rate because it’s always in his hands. Are others like Josh Smith and Danny Granger more deserving? Maybe. But this isn’t about team records or even teams themselves. This is an individual honor. And when it comes to point guards — especially in the Eastern Conference — D-Will is right behind Derrick Rose as the best in the game.

by AmbassadorAmeer on Feb 10, 2012 9:16 AM EST up reply actions
It's the injury effect more than anything
If we had everyone healthy (mainly Lopez), we would probably be hovering around .500 or so, and nobody would’ve blinked twice about Deron.
Add to that, Lopez might be an All Star reserve selection himself and Deron’s numbers/efficiency would be much higher with a 20PPG center to dump the ball down to.
Fact is, Deron is an All Star without question and thousands of fans voted for him. The record is a knock against him, but looking at the factors that contribute to that should explain why.
The real question is how Carmelo isn’t getting hate for being selected a starter (by the fans). That team has been healthy for the most part, his efficiency has been awful, the team record abysmal, and yet he’s a starter.

It's very very difficult to be named an NBA All-Star Game starter
You really have to be a fan favorite. DWill doesn’t have the sort of personality or high flying displays that someone like Vince Carter did. That’s why he may never end up as an ASG starter. Only real chance is if Howard is a Net and they start killing it in Brooklyn.

Everyone should bookmark this article
It’s basically Larry Coon spelling out all the money situation for Dwight. Useful for when making arguments with people about how much money is really at stake. You can also assume the same goes for Deron if he leaves.

Thanks eLone....I particularly like this part of the article
If Orlando knew that none of Dwight’s preferred teams will have cap room, then maybe they can call his bluff and say, "Fine, leave on your own, because unless you want to play in someplace like Indiana, you’ll need us this summer." But we already know that two of Dwight’s preferred teams will have cap room. In other words, THERE IS NO BLUFF to call."

As long as noone steps on Marshon's toe, causing it to swell up....
he should be fine.
Does anyone know if MarShon has complained of any pain in his toe lately?
Nets are just being cautious, I believe.
Charles Barkley loves Marshon!
Last night on inside the NBA when the rookie/sophmore game was being discussed, out of all the rookies mentioned barkley said: Ernie remember that name Marshon Brooks. Later in the show barkley said he felt he was going to be a stud. Charles even talked about possibly drafting him first for the rookie/sophmore game…
I love it when nets players get recognition and props…
I hope he does it to. But Barkley eventually said he would draft as big first. But even if he drafts him second...
That’s a major endorsement for Marshon…
Fred Kerber @FredKerber
GM Billy King: Nets don’t expect to waive anybody to create a spot
um… wtf? Bogans has the same agent as Dwight, right? That’s the only explanation I can think of
MarShon the Messiah
If Marshon sits out another day that is fine by me
as long as he plays tomorrow, when I am at the game…
But seriously. This should be a W.

The pistons are healthier than the nets...
Why should this be a win?
It is a known fact
that a man/woman can pass a lie detector telling false statements as long as he/she believes them to be true.
I am going to will this team into the Playoffs.

LOL...
Maybe the playoffs is not what we need this year. A lottery pick would go a long way whether we keep it or use it in a trade…
Yeah i could really go for a pick right about now. Why we gotta wait til the summer?
And if Houston keeps it up, we might avoid the protection. I’ll take it.

LET'S DO THIS!
Yeah, Wednesday too.
How’d that work out?
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

if you take the time Petro did play out the game
Nets won that game, he sparked like an 11-0 run for the Pistons and was a -7 in 4 minutes
The realist keepin it real amongst the surrealists
Use em and throw em away, see a pro a day is essential. If you want a piece of the rock, trick, go to Prudential

MarShon calling DWill Fat Boy is funny
He congratulated DWill on other day calling him Fat Boy.

People will continue to deny Howard to the Nets
but we will see the real hate in the ASG.
Will Thibs play Dwill and Howard at the same time?

The Sooner You Accept the Reality, The Easier the Transition!!
I am pretty sure I am going to want to watch the All-Star game on mute
There is only so many times i can handle hearing “Deron doesn’t deserve to be here” and “you know his team is not good” and “Why would Dwight walk into 8-19” or whatever.
Straight up hatred from around the league. People like making fun of the Nets because other fans do, and reporters play into that because they know it’s what other people want to hear/think. It drives me nuts.

actually
thibs is prolly gonna play rose and deng for 40 minutes at the ASG
They probably won't play too much
He’ll probably play the Miami and Boston guys a lot, to make sure they don’t get a break.

I'm not sure
Thibodeau is even eligible this year. It will probably be either Spolestra, Collins, or Vogel – maybe Larry Drew.
Fire Johnson and hire Van Gundy - I'm telling you Thorn was smoking something when he let Van Gundy slip away in the night.

He better
I want to see a taste of what’s it gonna be like next year

Nets still have the same problems...
Lack of a solid front-court aside from Shelden and Humphries, when Brook returns, we’ll be fighting for the playoffs, he along with Deron will carry this team.
As Vince once said, Brook will be an all star one day, and that day was unfortunately postponed for another year.
And also, leave Dwight for the off-season.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
Won't be able to see the game
I am predicting a win, and cannot wait to see MarSwag and Lopez soon!
