Lopez could be back soon. As you might’ve heard, he might practice Monday.

yeah.

He said he’s been working out for 3 straight days with no set-backs. He claims that he’s ready to play now.

Andy, I was thrown off because I could’ve swore I read a tweet from one of our beat writers that he was no where near ready to practice.

Andy Vasquez @andy_vasquez
Brook said it’s the first time he’s worked out three days in a row since being hurt. No pain. Said he feels like he’s ready to play now.
Colin Stephenson @Ledger_Nets
Brook said he’s worked out hard the last 3 days and is ready to practice Monday.

I screamed this during the game, but Hump CAN'T keep closing out hard on Monroe

The guy has zero jumpshot and Hump is flying out to him on the perimeter, whereby Monroe just drives right by him and goes hard to the hole.

GIVE HIM THE JUMPSHOT.

I think it's funny DWill made the All-Star team...

And Brook Lopez, with perfectly adequate superficial stats over the years never could (despite being the only good player on crappy Nets teams).

Whatever. I just hope Brook gets back as soon as possible so Avery can staple Petro’s behind to the bench.

It’s incredibly ironic:

This is Deron’s first year playing in the East and he makes the all star team. The game itself is in Orlando. Dwight Howard will be in the all star game.

Deron and Dwight will play their first NBA game together in Orlando and then the rest together in Brooklyn.

Seriously its the coaching

There are no offensive sets! Its the same every night…Farmar, Petro, etc hold the ball at the top of the key for 12 seconds… looking for someone to get open. They pass to Deron who dribbles for another 10 with an occasional drive…

Then one of three things happens:

-He turns it over
-He passes to a teammate that doesnt know what to do with it and turns it over
-He passes to a teammate that misses a layup
-He launches a brik

Thats it. Thats our offense.

Tell me why cant Deron who is an all star drive and score like Jeremy Lin is doing surrounded by scrubs? Melo and Amare are out so they have nobody. That doesnt affect him at all and plays with heart and score or draws fouls at will.
