Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Tight Game Ends in Tough Loss

Some Nets' mistakes down the stretch --and clutch play by the Grizzlies-- sent New Jersey down to their seventh straight defeat at Prudential Center Wednesday. The game was close throughout until the last three minutes. The two teams were tied at 92 with 3:18 left, but the Grizzlies outscored the Nets 13-8 over the final stretch to clinch it.

Mike Conley, Tony Allen and Rudy Gay dominated in the last few minutes, with the Grizzlies athletic point guard scoring four points and handing out two assists in the last three minutes. But the Nets helped with four crucial turnovers, two each by Deron Williams and Marshon Brooks. For the game, Brooks had six turnovers and Williams four.

In the first half the Nets played some of their best offensive basketball of the season, scoring 55 points, led by Deron Williams 20, but stalled in the second as Memphis picked up the pace. D-Will scored only six points the rest of the game and none in the fourth.

Gay scored 25 points and Allen matched his season high with 21. Marreese Speights added a season-high 20 points and a career-high 18 rebounds as the Nets were unable to block him out. It was a Speights tip with 1:01 left that put the Grizzlies up by six. Brooks wound up with 12 points on 5-for-9 shooting (2-for-3 from deep) but his rust continued to show on defense and in ball-handling. Anthony Morrow played well late, finishing with 17. Shelden Williams recorded his first double-double of the season.

Extend Brook, mentor Brooks, draft a PF, sign a veteran PF to a 2-3 year to mentor the rook, get Bogey over from Europe. Get a solid answer from Dwill if he wants to stay here and trade him if there’s time before the end of the season.

This should not be a win now team.

Everyone could be gone next year while we wait for Dwight’s decision

  1. They didn’t extend Lopez
  2. Deron could opt out and walk
  3. Hump will be an unrestricted free agent and can walk
    The only players under contract worth anything are Morrow and Brooks.

It looks like Dwight wants to come here and I hope he does but who knows.

We’re not some playoff team, that much is clear. None of this is important whether we get Dwight or not. If we do get Dwight, none of this matters since we’ll be quickly better. If we don’t get Dwight, none of this matters because the draft is the only thing to look forward to.

Not the kind of tone we want to be setting heading into the All-Star break. These guys will talk and formulate plans. They need to see that we have a foundation.

One Player can change a franchise that much is clear across the Hudson and they found him on the waiver wire. (hmmmm I wonder if we claim him if we weren’t so in love with Sunday Gaines)

Houston makes Playoffs and we continue to suck that’s 2 top picks in a loaded draft. With a GM who drafts pretty well. Marshon and an Extended Brook and maybe Boggs comes over too. And its a exciting young talented team.
Jersey is cursed for our franchise and the moment we hit Brooklyn things will get better. Who knows we could have a TEAM of Jeremy Linn’s Next year. And that’s with or without Deron.

I was pondering my fan-hood after this game and it's in a weird state.

In terms of fanship, I’m extremely apathetic. However, I usually have some emotional response after games (whether it be positive or negative). Over the course of the last two weeks, I’ve realized that I don’t really have a reaction to the outcome. It’s interesting.

Sigh … Howard or bust.

You say “wins” as if it’s something they have always been doing. They play in a massive market and still sucked for a full decade. Still looking for their first playoff win since 2001. You wouldn’t be saying “the team wins” if they weren’t saved by an individual who they themselves didn’t expect to do anything close to this much.

Many positives--Shelly played well (for a change), Petro made some shots (although he made dumb mistakes), Andre Emmett looks decent, Morrow made some shots.

If Farmar hadn’t been injured, maybe Nets would’ve won.

but watching the game he was clearly a liability on the defensive end. My point is +/- is a deceiving stat because it doesn’t take into account more important factors then the individual player being on the court

Who cares, at this point. There’s shooting yourself in the foot, and then theres pointing your rocket launcher at the ground a la Doom2. This Nets team is unwatchable with this historically horrific rash of injuries. Of course the Knicks would find this bizarre resurgence.

i know you’re all sick of moral victories, but I wasn’t that mad we lost. we fought hard, showed improvement in areas, but did what bad teams do at the end of games, screw it up (especially Marshon, who is young and gets a pass for now). I still believe in the “master plan” and for that reason I’m not too worried.
