Lopez Returns, But Nets Come Up Empty Against Bucks

PrintBrook Lopez returned to action on Sunday, but he couldn't help the Nets' offense, which shot just 34 percent in a 92-85 loss the Bucks at the Prudential Center.
The Nets recovered from an ugly start to take a brief lead midway through the second quarter, but the Bucks took control with a 7-0 run and opened things up with a 15-4 start to the second half. The Nets cut the lead down to seven midway through the fourth and down to five with a minute left, but each time, their run was stopped with a Milwaukee three.
In addition to their offensive woes, the Nets couldn't stop Ersan Ilyasova, who scored 29 points and grabbed 25 rebounds. Both were career highs and the 25 boards equaled the NBA one-game high for the season.
Deron Williams led the Nets with 26 points and six assists. Anthony Morrow added 17 points off the bench, but the Nets' other five reserves shot 1-for-14. MarShon Brooks (3-for-14) also struggled. Lopez had nine points, two rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes. He shot just 2-for-7 from the field and 5-for-11 from the line.

This game was a total disaster
NO EFFORT. NONE.
Ersan Ilyasova goes for 30 and 25???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Nobody boxed out ANYONE all game long. By far the most pathetic defensive rebounding performance I have ever seen in my life.
AND SCREW AVERY JOHNSON for INSISTING on playing that clown Petro. He puts him in for 1:46 and Petro kills our momentum and we end up blowing our lead.
I can’t defend Avery from the “fire” crowd. I really can’t.
did anyone pick Ilyasova
in the pre-game scrub of the night lottery?
they have both killed the nets before
just not this bad. i still remember that game delfino was like 8-10 from three through 3 quarters

Must have been Avery that missed all those FT’s too. Or that flagrant foul too. All those wide open misses. Avery should just zoom into the guys heads like the Matrix or something, because telling them is obviously not working. Yeah, our players are GREAT and its the coaches fault.

Its not like we have a team that we spent a lot of money on and put together carefully. Avery is plugging in D-Leagers with ZERO practice time, no continuity regarding who is starting, who comes off the bench, and we have a lot of guys making bonehead errors, like our best player dribbling the ball off his foot or out of bounds.
Yeah sure Avery has some responsibility in this, but the fact of the matter is, we dont have a good team if everyone is healthy and we have practice time, so what does everyone expect from him or the team? Everyone makes it sound like we change out coaches and all of a sudden we are going to change, and that’s just a very short sighted way of looking at things.
We lead the league in different lineups and missed games, when he says he and they are doing the best they can, I believe him.

really i cant defend him no more
And im this close to saying trade every draft pick and every person we have for dwight this is stupid this is a team that we should have embarrassed how many of those have we said all fricken year. I can back avery when talent is just not there but that was not the case the guys came out un motivated and thats is where the coaches are at fault and this has happend all year im done im hanging it up for avery and he can save his post comments about who battled and what not and i cant i mean i cant stand pj carl he should be the first to go look like a gremlin always whisperin in averys ear setting up failure night ya

Y’all know what the difference between a “good” coach and a “bad” coach? His playing staff. No one can save this team.
We haven’t made a single worth while move because we are saving everything for Dwight, so you guys can blame whoever you want, but its not going to get you anywhere.

Absolutely sickening performance
I have a hard time comprehending what the hell happened between yesterday and today. To shoot like that and to get out rebounded like that is flat out embarrassing. Brook looked as rusty as I thought he would but I was disappointed in his rebounding. (Sounds familiar.) They are going to get absolutely obliterated tomorrow. If somehow they can come out and win 2 of 3 on this back to back to back, I’d be shocked.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
Not on the fire avery bus however
Him and the staff arehorrible at adjustments.. Guys like pekovic and ilyasova are good but arent that good where they should have career nights on us. Put a stop to it. Even lin shoulda been thrown on the ground when he played us.

Every time im extremely excited and pumped up for a Nets game, they lose pathetically
There was this game, and the Raptors game cuz we could have had the same record as the knicks and be .5 games out of the playoffs.
This season has been beyond frustrating…more so than the 12-70 one. On any given night, scrubs just absolutely light us up! Ahhhhhhhh! Unreal!
This team can never get a defensive stop
and I never have confidence they will either. I knew Delfino’s 3 was good the second it left his hands. Absolutely pathetic. I am so f’ing pissed right now.

Unfortunately, after Lopez gets slaughtered on Weds, the Magic are really not going to want anything to do with him.

And they made another super player.

He needs a time.
But others are just…. joke.
Where was hump’s rebounding?
Could Brooks stop shooting like that?
We don’t need Brooks without d.

they aren't going to make him the center of the offense his first game back. It isn't easy.
He has to get used to playing at full pace, and logging in more minutes. There’s no need to make him the Brook he was last year already. It’ll take time.
You're that guy who thinks the world is gonna end every time the Nets lose, and that they should start rebuilding again.
Chill. There are better days to come.
no
I know basket ball
Avery is not a great coach. he good but not great. his offense is based on jump shots.
Deron dogs it sometimes. there is a huge difference between JKidd and DWill. JKidd knows when to go get a bucket and when to set up teammates. He should have been setting up AMMO
by DJ HeavyDuty on Feb 19, 2012 9:48 PM EST up reply actions
Do you understand why the offense is on jump shots and why we don't have inside scoring every game?
Do you see a difference between the teams Kidd played on and the team Deron is playing with? D-Will is doing his best. He constantly gives us 20+ points and hits 7+ assists a night. There is hardly a supporting cast. The bench is absolutely horrendous besides Farmar and Morrow. MarShon is still learning as a rookie, and Morrow doesn’t play consistently.
Kidd didn't have a legit inside scorer when he played with

There were guys who played more than that.
No excuses, we are talking about a fundamental thing here. Look for your man first, and then the ball when rebounding. Hump is too lazy and stubborn to do it.
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
Okay so tomorrow lets give Jared Jeffries Career highs...!
LETS GO NETS!!!
Games like this make me sick
If we lose cause we got beat , then I’m fine with that but I didn’t see the nets buckle down a do a thing.
What is our offense give the ball to Deron and try to let him score? Deron looked good today but if he stop trying to find his own shot on every possession , he would have has more gas at the end. The guys stand around too much and Brooks didn’t even look for the ball when Deron went out.
Lopez just has to defended the basket and rebound.
Avery is becoming very disappointing, I thought he was a better teacher than this.

They actually had more movement today
But you still can have a possession were only Deron touches the ball or the man giving it back to him.

This team makes my head hurt.
Beat Bulls in Chicago. Let Ersan Ilyasova pull a Dwight Howard at home.
Wat.
I think it's fine.
This is what I want to happen
I want to trade absolutely anybody apart from Williams for Howard because they aren’t good at basketball and are losers, a complete bunch of losers.
The only things of value that we have in my view and want to keep are:
A) Deron Williams
B) All our picks
Why keep our picks?
because they havent been infected by the New Jersey Nets loser bug and might be decent at basketball
Seriously trade the farm for Howard, i dont give a damn right now.
On top of that how about we get rid of Avery. The man hasnt a clue, so lets see what he did tonight…
Ran the same failed play twice from the start of trying to post up D Will
Failed to run a play to get Lopez in the low post
Decided it was good for Lopez for get the ball near the 3 point line
Brought Petro into the game
Failed to take Petro out of the game
Ran more stupid plays like iso’s for Humph
Failed to remind our bigs that by boxing it, it prevents the opposition getting a rebound
Failed to reinforce said issue from above at halftime
Team talk at half time was obviously about how good Lopez looks now he’s gained 10lbs
Failed to chew out the bigs for not boxing out
Failed to do anything because the mans an idiot who hasnt a clue what he is doing.
I seriously dislike Avery Johnson and if it wasnt for Williams seeming to like him and therefore wouldnt want to rock the whole “bigger picture”… I would swim the Atlantic, run to Newark, slap Avery Johnson with a massive fish then offer him queensberry rules outside.
I want a fresh start in Brookyln without any of the losing mentality we currently have.
Hopefully it’ll be Deron Williams, Dwight Howard and a new coach in the summer.

based on the fact that the previous games he played coming back from injury was
7,7,12, & 14 points.
Points is not an indicator of how well someone plays
If I took 45 shots from the field and scored 30 pts, I had a GOD AWFUL game.
+/- can be an iffy stat
you just have to look at the whole picture.
His game vs Chicago wasn’t TERRIBLE, but would definitely not say he played well.
but you have to consider the team he played against. it wasn't charlotte or washington.
it was chicago. the 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and blocked shot are all higher than his averages. plus, he averages about the same ft and 3 point % a game. I say, that he had a good game.
19 points on 19 shots?

I agree
but then come the excuses, “waaah no he’s injured”

Not a chance!
We couldn’t stop a walker fast break at this point!

OT- dwight obviously wants out of Orlando and gave them a list of teams to trade him to, Hes not resigning with Orlando, in other words trade me so you can get something back..
my question is , would Dwill do the same? would he walk and not get anything in return?
dwill is not leaving
all his sponsorships are NY related………….
lisanity vs dwill
who walks away smiling tommorow
Maybe if brook played
We’d have a shot. But alas, he isn’t sober don’t have a chance in hell of winning tomorrow.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

meh
I think most people complaining about the Lin coverage aren’t claiming they should be talking about us instead. or at least I’m not. because they shouldn’t be. we’re a bad team.
I do really hate the Knicks, but when I complain about Lin hype, I feel like I do it out of respect for the kid and his game. I think 2 weeks is long enough to not still be treated as a side show, which it still feels like to me. Maybe I’m just perceiving this wrong, but it still feels like everyone’s treating him more as an exciting novelty than someone we can actually have a legitimate, objective discussion about. Where he does he rank amongst young point guards? Will he be better than John Wall or Kyrie Irving?
I would say no, but I at least wouldn’t the media trying to make those kind of comparisons. Instead it’s “let’s compare him to Magic freakin Johnson so that our coverage of him can’t be taken seriously”. I mean really, after 16 or so days of “Linsanity”, aren’t you a little sick of the wordplay too?

Of course I'm sick of it
but I also understand it and accept it. It’s a HUGE story and will continue to be the talk of the NBA.
Kid is putting up historic #’s.
yea
I still think the numbers are a little inflated. But I’m not gonna argue against him there. He deserves the accolades. And I understand the hype. It’s the perfect storm that ESPN/NBA couldn’t have conceived of in their wildest dreams.
And I guess that’s why they can’t help but get carried away. I just hope, if he starts to struggle (not that I’m hoping for it, other than to see the Knicks lose), that he won’t receive backlash even close to the amount of hype he’s received. cause that would be unfair.
but they’ll probably blame Carmelo anyway if that happens. Which I’m okay with.

Err...
I have to decide on sports article topics for spring high school newspaper issue. I’m sick of the Lin hype, but I know people will actually be interested in reading it if we have an article on him.
Not the best year for me to be killing this much time with sports.
I need to work on time management. Seriously.
yeah omg i have spent so much time with sports and girls havent really been focusing on school as much as i really should

I’m going to bed y’all.
My hope will remain at an all time high until we start next season with no one. Until then… NETS! Try not to get down!

I ask one thing of Avery Johnson tomorrow
don’t play Petro.
That’s it.
If we lose, we lose…but for the love of god STOP playing this clown. I honestly don’t know what he has to do to glue himself to the bench. He’s dreadful game in and game out.
For real, and it's like he forgets everytime that he's bad until he sees him on the floor, because he only plays thirty seconds.
Like you may as well not play him at all and give the team three extra possessions… and twenty more points.
It doesn't make sense
Jordan Williams, although a rookie, is CLEARLY better and won’t kill us the second he comes into the game.
It took Petro 1:46 tonight to screw things up.
It also doesn't make sense, because...
NI tweeted a reply to me yesterday, saying, “they hate him.”
So… I don’t get it.
Who said who hates who? The nets hate petro?

Pretty sure that’s what NI meant.

he's gonna play tomorrow
because Brook isn’t there to take away minutes.
it was a good sign Jordan took all of Petro’s minutes in the 2nd half, but still, I doubt we’ll be Petro-free tomorrow.

I'm not saying I disagree with you
it’s just that Avery Johnson’s rotations on this team, they’re not governed by reason.
by sheepareevil on Feb 20, 2012 12:35 AM EST up reply actions
The problem with this Nets team goes way beyond just a lack of talent
Even players that aren’t that talent should know the basics of basketball like boxing out and communicating on defense. Doesn’t matter if we get Lopez back full strength, this team is lazy, it has a low basketball IQ, and we will continue to lose games.
We don’t really need to try and tank, never have before and don’t have to now
i just think these guys just suck and have bad basketball IQ
by avilanets85 on Feb 20, 2012 12:31 AM EST up reply actions
the problem is players doing more than what they are capable of doing.
Kidd always told his teammates that if he passed them the ball, he wants them to shoot it. Likewise, if deron passes the ball, the recieving player should shoot it. Its painful to watch Morrow pass the ball to another player, considering he’s the best shooter on the team. This falls on coaching.
i would trade everyone right now for Kidd and a time machine lol
by avilanets85 on Feb 20, 2012 12:45 AM EST up reply actions
I would put Avery behind the scorer’s table and Fratello on the bench.
Fire Johnson and hire Van Gundy - I'm telling you Thorn was smoking something when he let Van Gundy slip away in the night.

Lin gives him guaranteed global esposure. Howard will be seen as jumping on the
bandwagon. Will his ego tolerate that? I think so.
One thing I've noticed with this team
Is that they’re horrible at communicating with each other, especially on defense.
by ProfessaPackMan on Feb 20, 2012 12:32 AM EST reply actions
Not a lot of smart players on the team
We have a lot of mindless energy guys, the guys other teams normally have come off the bench and just let them run rampant. Problem with us is, those guys are our starters. Hump, Gaines, Farmar, Morrow too, all fit that description
Credit Byron Scott. The 2001 team was built on players from winning programs who knew how to win.
RJ, Kenyon, Collins were all key players from winning programs.
Heh.
Went to the Knicks game today: Jeremy Lin is not a fluke. He’s not this good, but he’s certainly not just a flash in the pan. I hope the Nets are able to recreate the energy of The Garden in Barclays because it’s frickin’ amazing. It felt like a playoff game.
I didn’t catch the Nets game — did Lopez look okay?
you went to the Knicks game? that’s blasphemy man lol
by avilanets85 on Feb 20, 2012 12:37 AM EST up reply actions
he was rusty as was to be expected
got to the line a lot, missed a lot of FTs… tired, but mostly made the right decisions, a couple good passes out of the high post. decent defense but got killed on the boards… it’s Brook, should get better after the all-star break I imagine
by sheepareevil on Feb 20, 2012 12:39 AM EST up reply actions
Barclays will have a great setup for basketball
intimate crowd setting.
Need a winner though..need Dwight.
Deron
Morrow
Bogdanovic

Howard

Just finished watching the post game interviews
What is with this team after we lose. They seem to never be negative about anything and even dwill was positive after tonights loss.
everythings gonna be alright,
everythings gonna be alright,
dwights is comin to the team, that’s right,
so everything is gonna be alright.
We've been warning you guys about Avery since he got here...
I guess it was soooo transparent tonight, the Fire Avery club gained some new members
S Jax wants to play wi thDwight and Deron
It sounds more and more like he’s part of the “plan”. Also he recently said he thought Dwight was staying.. Maybe thats the head fake?

Avery is overrated
Besides that this team cannot stop anyone. Or can’t develop a game plan to stop anyone. And beside that Dr. Avery has these weird prescriptions: he plays every other day! He plays 14 minutes. The biggest issue to me is that Avery does not know how to use Brooks. He is wasting his talent putting him out there as a traditional two. You would think that Brook is a spot up shooter watching their game plan. Let the kid go crazy. He breaks defenses apart and opens up easy opportunities for his team mates. I cannot understand why there are not more iso’s for Brooks. He is deadline one on one. Why can’t Avery use his skills. And, memo to someone: Lopez needs to get the ball on the blocks not 15 feet away!
