D-Will Doesn't Want To Talk Linsanity

Not everyone wants to talk about Jeremy LIn's heroics, a/k/a Linsanity. The guy who Lin did his first damage against is simply not interested.

"Why would we get excited about the Knicks? We're 8-21, I'm worried about us, not what Jeremy Lin's doing," Deron Williams said, adding "They're the Knicks. You got anything about tonight? Anything that's relevant with us?"

What's relevant Wednesday night is that Shawne Williams is out but that DeShawn Stevenson will play. Also very relevant, the next stretch of the season. "We have six games in eight days, so no we're not thinking about the All-Star break right now," Deron Williams said. That stretch also includes a back-to-back-to back, the team's second.

Deron's into the "They're the Knicks" thing

The Nets get Dwight, it’s going to be some rivalry.

Well, he better stay this mad the next time we see the Knicks

Because Lin smoked him the last time around to start this run.

You can't just blame D-will our bigs did a horrible job containing the pick&Roll

Isn't that coaching though?

No

how can the coach control the players effeciency on the court? You either defend the pick and roll right or you mess up. There are no plays for defending a damn pick and roll. One of the simplest plays in basketball

His answers are what they should be

these guys asked him 50 questions about the Knicks and Jeremy Lin..he should have just gotten up and walked out after the 5th one.

by NetsKiNG on Feb 15, 2012 5:34 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree completely. He's a professional and doesn't want to talk Knicks. Once we get

Lopez back, we’re going to dominate the Knicks. At least in my fantasy world.

Lin has had me watching Knicks games instead of Nets games

I hated the Knicks for years but I had goosebumps watching that game last night. Linsanity

Dwill shouldnt talk JLin

And neither should anyone here @ NETS DAILY

by DJ HeavyDuty on Feb 15, 2012 6:03 PM EST reply actions  

But Lin is bringing hits to Netsdaily, generating revenue.

You should talk about Lin here. Not off topic like the other threads. I know it’s hard to follow instructions.

loved dwill's response.

i really hope this lit a fire under his a$$.

Sub Lopez with Dwight.

Personally I feel bad for Lopez. He was never mentally tough to begin with.

who says he isn't?

he’s never done anything to make me think he isn’t mentally tough

I HATE JEREMY LIN

Not because he’s good
Not because he’s asian
But because
I HATE THE KNIX
I HATE THE KNIX SO MUCH I WON’T SPELL IT CORRECTLY
IT IS A TERRIBLE OVERHYPED FRANCHISE, RUN BY A TERRIBLE OWNER, WITH TERRIBLE PLAYERS
I HATE THE KNIX

by DJ HeavyDuty on Feb 15, 2012 6:23 PM EST reply actions  

yea...

me personally as a fellow asian american,
i would love to cheer for Lin. i just cant….
knowing that he went off on the nets and
thats what jumpstarted his awesome story just
makes me so sad.

i am a straight hater as well

I used to just prefer the Nets and that is it. But it soon became solid hatred.

My dad was never a basketball fan, but he always says he would rather New York won than anyone else. After a while of me getting deeper and deeper into Nets fanatical-ness, My dad and I went to our first game together, Knicks / Nets. I had gone to a bunch, but this was his first. I wore my Harris jersey, he wore an old Knicks hat he borrowed from a friend.

Halfway through the game he was so disgusted with the behavior of the Knicks fans, he took the hat off and started rooting for the Nets. Now he has a Deron jersey and we go to at least 2 games a year together (he is 65. that is pretty good for an old man :) )

I just cannot stand their fan base, and it leads me to hate on everything Knicks related. Sharing the same colors as the Mets almost makes me want to give up on them, too (and a bunch of other reasons…)

can totally relate to you, brother.

went to the nets knicks game at msg a couple weeks ago.
went with a bunch of friends, a decent mix of nets and knicks fans. it was fun for the most
part. just minding our own business when this couple in front of us wearing stoudemire
jerseys told one of the girls in our group to shut the @#$^ up cuz she was too loud?!

seriously?

that is NY

The people in the city thinks differently, acts like they owns the world and are classier then everyone else

That is what the Nets wants to become?

I don't hate Jeremy Lin

I hate the Knicks, their fans, many of their players. But i don’t hate Jeremy Lin. Let him have his moment of linsanity – remember last year’s Jimmer mania? So that died down – this will too. I enjoyed watching the way the Raptors kept knocking him down. Welcome to the spotlight kid. Still it doesn’t bother me because IT"S JUST NOT RELEVANT TO WHAT’S IMPORTANT – THE NETS. Actually I appreciate a few days rest from the media frenzy about D12’s next address. This kid kicked that story down to #2 and I think that’s a really good thing. Anyway Jeremy Lin is the flavor-of-the-week/month, but like DWill – I DON’T CARE AT ALL.

by fastbreak7 on Feb 15, 2012 7:36 PM EST up reply actions  

6 games in 8 days.

14-21 ain’t so bad!!

LET’S GO!

D-Will, Brooks, Stevenson, Humphries and Shel-Will is the best defensive lineup we’ve got. “Defense on 3”, should be said somewhere towards the end of that huddle tonight.

by Coach Joe on Feb 15, 2012 6:31 PM EST reply actions  

Undermanned, injury riddled, etc...

These are not excuses for being one of the worst defensive teams ever. They’re excuses for losing, sure, but the worst defensive team ever? At least part of that needs to come down on the coach. Avery needs to look himself in the mirror.

the media can be utterly ridiculous

why ask a guy on another team about some other team and their star? i don’t blame D-Will for saying what he said. now they’re going to spin it like D-Will is salty. come on….it’s one thing if the Nets were in first comfortably and had just come off a blowout. but this man has enough on his mind, he ain’t thinking about Lin. crazy….

Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
