Nets Surprise League-Leading Bulls to End Losing Streak at Eight

The Nets' eight-game losing streak came to an end in the most unusual fashion on Saturday, an easy road victory over the team with the league's best record. The 97-85 defeat was just the Bulls' second at home this season.
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said of the Nets. "I want to give New Jersey credit ... They were ready... We were back on our heels and you get what you deserve."
The Nets made 10 of their first 12 shots, had a 26-9 lead midway through the first quarter, and led by as many as 18 late in the period. The Bulls cut their lead down to seven late in the second, but the Nets finished the half on a 7-0 run and led by 19 midway through the third, holding on for a 12-point win.
After the hot start, the Nets kept the Bulls at bay with defense, holding them to just 39 percent shooting for the game. The Nets got big games from Kris Humphries (24 points and 18 rebounds) and Deron Williams (29 points and eight assists). MarShon Brooks added 19 points and Shelden Williams grabbed 14 boards.

Keep it rolling Nets fans, although just a regular season win, we celebrate it like a playoff win.
Love the spirit, it will get better with Brook back. Can’t even imagine how it will be if the real D12 comes this side of America.
I have a feeling that if Brook looks healthy enough tomorrow, he’ll get some minutes against New York.

Swag does NOT look like a rookie.
You almost feel comfortable with the ball in his hand ….I know some mistakes here and there, but boy this dude has gone far since the start.
I can imagine when Brooks is doubled and then you move that ball over ….#amazing
He left for greener pastures, I guess.
I mean, if a team brings in Shawne Williams for help, Horner’s got to be upset at the FO for that.
I Love sheldens heart...
the man plays real hard… he got 14 boards
posted on bulls blog before the game
The back is getting much better though, so it’s not a problem
Plus…it’s the Nets.
all i have to say is LOL
In last few years we were always tough team for Bulls
Even in that 12 win season, we beat them twice if I’m not mistaken.

@SamSmithHoops Close
As bad as Nets have been last decade, coming into season they were 23-13 over the Bulls since 2001-02. Bulls won series 3 of last 10 yrs
I know it's just one win, but what do you guys think, if we win 2moro and Nix lose.
Also, we whoop them on Monday. That would put us 5 games back from the 8th seed.
Is is it too crazy to think playoffs at that point?
While at it, hopefully the D12 will be here in about less than a month!!!
Keep on dreaming ….. it feels good to be flying.
we can basically lose 8 games or so the rest of the season
and we can potentially make the playoffs.
1 game down. long road ahead.

Nope. Both are D guys
Official Member of the "DO NOT ABUSE BROOK LOPEZ" Movement
He'd be 36 then, and id rather have a young guy at his spot like hump, who can play very good defense
Hump’s also starting to develop a mid range shot in the last few games
he's the kind of guy you'd look for
he’d fit in perfectly for 1-2 years. A guy who is clearly on the decline but won’t have to be “the guy” and would excel in the role which is more suited for him at this stage
As happy as we'll be to get Dwight..
Its gonna KILL me to see Hump leave if we cant sign him. Not since Kenyon have we seen a Net player battle every night like he does.
Away fans boo and laugh at him to start the game thinking hes just a scrub who was on some reality show and then he proceeds to outplay his counterpart at PF almost every night.

even if he doesn't develop a 3, his game is going to continue to get better playing
with this PG and just getting the starters minutes.
It’s been slightly less than a fullseason’s worth of games that he has been starting.

Crazy thought
But who else thinks Morrow should get limited minutes going forward?
Hear me out - he might have the nice 3-pt shot, but unless you have Dwight holding the paint you pretty much can’t play the guy for extended limits. I think what we are having a hard time quantifying is how BAD his defense is - that is how much of open shots, etc. are really from breakdowns because of his lack of lateral movement.
I know this is just one game
But even when he scored 42 pts we lost… makes you wonder if he’s just a shot trader because his defense is such a neg

mostly good things to say about the nets
it hasn’t happened often but still a good win. Granted Rose wasn’t playing and could have changed the outcome of the game, however we haven’t had brook lopez ALL season so no tears from me. some notes:
Brooks – good showing tonight. not great, he needs to turn the ball over less and take better shots. a few of them were really tough shots and he missed but the turnovers need to come down. his defense looked good tonight, had some mistakes here or there but nothing notable. need to shoot more efficiently but overall a good 19 points contribution.
Shelden – I previously said he only earned my respect and not my liking, if he plays like this consistently I’ll change my tune immediately. I hated on Shelden “The Landlord” Williams but honestly as avery would “He battles every night for us”. I would like him back actually.
Turnovers – only 7 for the game, look how much of a difference that makes. We’ve shot higher percentage in previous games but had 20 turnovers and lost the game. I will say we had 3 of our turnovers in the 4th quarter in a 3 min stretch. we need to stop doing that, we were up 17 points so we absorbed the bulls run but if it was only a 10 point game the outcome could have been very different.

Balkman has a lot of energy, but he runs around sometimes like a chicken w/o a head.
He will need a very good coach to get him prepped for games.
that is true
but he has talent and can ball. you’re right if a coach and actually playing minutes can tame him in that sense he could be a real SF position for us. I actualyl don’t mind picking balkman up right now, given the current state of our team. if we had all healthy players and not so many 1-2 year contracts i wouldn’t even look at balkman, but with where we are right now balkman could help this team. it’d be hard to get any worse.

wow just got home was thinking to myself all day I should have went to this game, only a few hrs away from chicago
been really high on the bulls, and really low on the nets, big surprise glad to see we played so well and once again hump proving all the haters DEAD WRONG
Andrew, I guess you and I can add today’s win to the list of “games where you don’t expect the Nets to win.”
oh yeah for sure, im gonna add it to my list of games I shoulda went to also.

I had a friend move from Osage to NYC this past fall.
OT.... can we trade Ryan Rucco and Nancy Newman at the trade deadline.....
Also throw in that new girl that replaced Marco G…. All annoying!!
by kupalski on Feb 18, 2012 8:25 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Taff is cool.
Newman in the post game reads it as if it’s the first time she has seen the game and is a second or 2 behind.
Plus, as a board, we were all ecstatic that Marco G was done, and now we have the awesome looking young lady with the annoying voice. Can’t win em all.
+1
Outside of Ian, Fratello, and Jim..the Nets could get rid of the following:
-Nancy Newman
-Jessica Taft
-Rucco
-Petro
I can life with Taft
Nancy is atrocious though. Just incredibly annoying voice/presence.

wait what...
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
I hate Nancy Newman
She’s incredibly unattractive, annoying voice, no knowledge of the game, and as someone else mentioned, sounds like she’s seeing the highlights for the first time and always a step behind.

Kiki is now a report for Clippers maybe we can trade Taft for him
Taft asks the same questions every game
“Can you just talk about how you were able to battle back”
Jessica Taft looks like she had michelle beadle for dinner...

ummmmmmm we can get rid of Ryan but Nancy is staying
yea and taff needs to go..

Neither Nancy or Taft look good
We need to find another Beadle.

ok ok compromise
We replace taft with nancy and have her interview everyone and then we bring in another Beadle for the halftime show and post game

I don't know Nancy
Is an eye and ear sore. That’s tough for me. But for another Beadle…hmmm

How nice would this be..
Dwight makes it to free agency and somehow King convinces him and Deron to take a little less than the max so we could have a shot at retaining Hump.
Pipe dream. But i just have the biggest man crush on Hump right now.
if they take less
i bet it will be for someone else, and not for Hump :/
I want Hump but he should take like a 5 year 7M per.
We shoulda gave hump like 12 mil this year so he would take less money next season
by Scooby803 on Feb 18, 2012 9:27 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Well the biggest offseason move besides Dwight..
Will be to find a new home for Petro. If King can do that, he should get GM of the Year right there.
Dwill needs to do what Carmela did for Jlin... tell coacj aj to have Jwill come off the bench instead of petrofl
In that 6 game span where he got significant minutes in 5 of those games, he averaged 21.4min, 9.2ppg, 5.4rebs (2.4off which is almost half) and went 55% from the field. Jwill>Petro. Basic math avery

So Orlando isn't interested in Brook Lopez no matter how healthy he is? The only deal they'd consider would be for Bynum?
I just read that in an article from Orlando’s pinstripe post or something from a couple days ago…and some of their fans were saying some ridiculous things about Brook. Someone said they’d take Marion and a draft pick over Lopez. I’ve had enough of this moiso. I’m in favor of keeping Brook no matter what now. Even if it sets us back a couple seasons it’d be worth it in my opinion to let our homegrown talent Brook Lopez build his legacy here where he belongs.

Like elonePB and I told you some days ago: according to our informations it’s basically a done deal for DH. Nobody know if it’s gonna be in March or in July but the question is not if we’ll get him but when and how.
I trust myself, I’ve got my own sources. But those informations and those from elnePB are absolutly coherent when we talked privately.
wait a second..who did you talk to and who do you know?

you do know that dwights representatives have informed the lakers he wont sign there if they trade for him right?
by netsyankees4life on Feb 18, 2012 9:18 PM EST up reply actions
Yes I know.
It wasn’t about whether LA would make a trade or not, it was about Orlando not willing to trade Dwight for anyone but Bynum. Hopefully this means he’ll make it to free agency and Dallas can’t find anyone willing to take Shawn Marion from them.
by NuttinBut on Feb 18, 2012 9:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
So without naming my source: I covered the nba finals for a french media last year. I met one decision maker from the sponsor of our next arena. (don’t want to name anybody). he was a nice guy and had been working with the nets on the project for 5 years. He was in PAris last week, I had a lunch with him and gave me the information (he was with nets representatives some days before). Can’t go any further at this point but Dwight to Nets is a done deal.
how do you guys know he wont change his mind?
by Scooby803 on Feb 18, 2012 9:30 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Can’t go any further. Even my source didn’t want to tell me anything else. But from what I understood he can’t come back on its decision. I wouldn’t say there was a moral (written?) pre-contract between the Nets and Dwight but that’s kind the feeling I got.
So basically you are saying that Dwight will end up on the Nets
no matter what due to an agreement the two sides have made. This would lead one to think that we should wait until free agency.
I think it's fine.

by Jtart9 on Feb 18, 2012 9:21 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I was thinking something like this
They are trying to play him on home games because they want to raise ticket prices or just plain attract more people to come to the games
I mean it kind of makes sense, since they don’t want to play him too much they might as well play him during home games

I always learn about the game from him. he’s great at explaining stuff.
"A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy."
I want Dwight as much as evryone else
But if we get back a stonger, improved Lopez playing with Deron, Hump and Marshon – that leaves us in strong contention to draft MKG and money for FA’s.
There quite few veteran guys that will be UFA’s that can help this team.
Nets could be a top 3 team in the east with Miami and Chicago.
with UFA's out there like
Allen
Garnett
Oneal
Sessions
Jamison
Wallace
Andre Miller
Delfino
Barbosa
Dahntay Jones
Tolliver
and others
We get a few of those veterans and we have a deep team and a good rotation of players.
That's a deep free agency not like this summer

yeah i was thinking about this earlier
if Brook comes back and is averaging 22ppg, 7/8rpg and improves defense, it makes it that much harder to trade him. but Dwight is absolutely a game changer

I was out with my wife since about 3:30 never even thinking to check until now. I only wanted to find out if there was any Lopez news, never thought for a second that the Nets might have won. As soon as you start to pull away they reel you back in and give you hope.
9-57
