D-Will "Very Comfortable" With Nets; Looks Forward To D12 Wednesday

Deron Williams told beat writers Monday night that even though the Nets are only 10-24 and hurting, he is "very comfortable" with the team and understands things take time.
"I’m very comfortable right now," Williams said of the Nets plan. "There’s not much I can really do but just play basketball. That’s what I said I was going to do, from the beginning of the season — play basketball, let everything work itself out.
"We still need to get some guys in here if we’re going to be a better team. There’s no doubt about that. We’re 10-24 right now. So we have to get some better players. But I think everything will work out. … It takes some time to put it together," Williams added.
As for Wednesday's game with the Magic and Dwight Howard, D-Will said he's looking forward to fan reaction. Meanwhile, Fred Kerber reports that at least for now, the Nets have decided to pass on Renaldo Balkman. Interest is "lukewarm" and the Nets may just want to keep a roster spot open till the trade deadline.

Things are looking good for us in the Dwight Saga...Ken Berger says there's chaos in LA
“For such a storied franchise, supposedly first class and all that, it’s not what you think behind the bars there,” said the person who has dealt with the Lakers as a longtime executive with other teams. “It’s overrated.”
And in trouble. And if Bryant was trying to wake people up — “embarrass” them, as he told the New York Post in December when describing the motivation behind his infamous 2007 trade demand — it was a good try. Kupchak is just trying to hold what’s left of the organization together, putting out statements and putting out fires. But no one else is around to listen, and so this one might blaze for a while.
“The other GMs know what’s going on,” said one of the people familiar with the Lakers’ chaos. “Jim has no relationships with other GMs, and they also know they’re going to be able to swoop in there and do things [in trades]. This is a real critical time. The chances of Dwight Howard coming in there are slim and none at this point.”
Before the Lakers even consider such a move, it would seem they need to get their own house in order first.

Could it also be that Deron just understands the situation
Between injuries and the plan to hold cap space for Dwight or any other player that could build a contending team, a plan that I assume Deron cosigned as his unofficial position as assistant to the GM. Of though I’m hoping the reality is that Deronis at ease knowing Dwight will defiantly be here to take some weight of his shoulders

Is there an outside chance that Nuggets don't match an offer for Chandler?
Nuggets have a ridiculous amount of wing players right now. Harrington, Fernandez, Afflalo, Brewer, & Gallinari when he returns from injury. Although its probably a pipe dream because of our salary cap situation. Any capologists here know if it can work?
MarShon the Creator!
Nets have no chance
There are a few teams out there that have cap room and can make a nice offer. However Denver will still match any reasonable offer. He’ll be part of their core with Lawson, nene, gallo and Afflalo.

Tonight's game gave me glimpses of what an intense rivalry would look and feel like between these two teams for the next several years...
I’m sure Deron felt something similar. You don’t get many legitimate rivalries in the NBA, just media fabricated ones. Lakers-Celtics is the one that comes to mind but I think that rivalry only exists today because of the deep history of the two franchises. The NBA sorely needs a rivalry in the same vein as Yankees-Red Sox or Jets-Patriots, where everyone from ownership on down to the players despises the other team on a personal level. Knicks-Nets has the makings of a legendary rivalry. The ownership and front offices have already begun their part with those billboards and stuff, and tonight’s game seemed to plant some seeds that’ll grow with each and every contest.

I think the Linsanity lit up a fire up DWill’s arss, and DWill took it really personal. Unfortunately, DWill might become Mr T against Rocky(Lin) in the public eyes.
didnt Mr. T win the 1st fight and killed Mickey?
Lin can be Rocky as long as Melo and Amare become Mickey and Hulk Hogan

How many Lin references did I just hear on Sports Center
I’m might watch again just to count. At one point they said something like “you may think we talk about Lin too much. But we have a lot of making up to do” as a Segway into another Lin puff peice. I can’t take it, they make it sound like he is the first ever successful undrafted player, when Lin lost to an undrafted player who is one of the best 3 point shooters of all time, coached by the first undrafted player to have his number retired. He isn’t even the first undrafted player who went from being cut by the Warriors to being a star on the Knicks (John Starks). Not knocking Lin or his story, but enough already ESPN

Just saw the replay in NBA Gametime
A few observations:
- bring Lin to his left, or lead him to his left. He is not comfortable in hat side.
- Petro REALLY suxxx. O.M.F.G. He is a turnover waiting to happen, it is beyond comical.
- Nets are just running the same play over and over. Knix did not adjust?
- deron is really great passing the ball but a lot of times, those passes are wasted bcause either the rcvr does not shoot or lose the ball. Imagine if we have better players!
by OMFG on Feb 21, 2012 6:26 AM EST via mobile reply actions
There were wrinkles in that same play
If they can’t stop it, why not keep running it?
by ZR on Feb 21, 2012 8:52 AM EST up reply actions
Avery even said after the game they only ran the same 3 plays over and over again.
First winner of the Golden Rex
Schottenheimer: "46 Left motion right over under bear 24 cat 65 triple left right up down on three"
Sione: "What is the offense doing?"
Rex: "I don’t know, but it won’t be a first down"
that disturbs me....
only 3 plays? I mean don’t get me wrong it seems like they are working but I’m sick of the Brooks ISO, Deron ISO, Humprhies ISO and screen off the wing for a 3 for Dwill.
Hell i’ve even seen a morrow ISO. how about some backdoor screen and cuts or at least run through screens for the ending ISO receiver in the play. Morrow and Humps are terrible ISO players, they’d be better served getting it down low or open look off a screen or pick and roll.
Maybe when your players are constantly hurt and the pace of this season doesnt allow for much practice....
I LOVE IT!!!
The JETS/NETS are coming!
That's what happens when you don't pactice
and why Iverson was so incredulous about practice (his only play was to dribble past everyone and shoot a layup).

I am still happy!
I have a Happiness hangover!
My Knick fan friends are pissed! They are saying the only reason we won is cause Chumpert wasnt there to play Dwill.
I told them we didnt have Farmar and healthy Lopez and still waxed that butt!
Something should be said for how the Nets players were at their best, playing on the road (at MSG) but can't do the same at home.
Nets would have about 5 more home wins if they could get up for all games like last night.
Wednesday’s game should have lots of crowd support, if only Brook can raise his level significantly from Sunday.
Does anyone know a scenario where we can trade Lopez +. for Howard and still re-sign Hump in July, along with DWill and Howard?
Hump has a 12 million cap hold.
However, clearly DWill will want Hump on his team with Howard next season.
DWill calls Hump a Beast.
Did people notice that Hump is starting to "direct" his teammates on the court?
Big upgrade from the days where he behind Yi in the rotation under Kiki.
I can’t see another team in NBA giving Hump such a key role.
Hopefully he gives Nets a major discount to stay and become a big part of an Elite team with Howard+DWill.
He's averaging a double double...again
No way he takes a discount. He deserves at a minimum what he’s getting this season and will probably receive more. He’s an exceptional player.
by ZR on Feb 21, 2012 8:53 AM EST up reply actions
I like Hump and All
but I can’t stand any ISO’s on Hump. That’s not his game, he is a finisher. When he first came to the nets he did nothing but chuck up mad shots close to the basket under ISO. He was TERRIBLE. That’s why I hated him!!!
Then he found his niche in rebounding and put backs and block shots and hustling and I have liked him ever since.
I understand we are limited and sometimes the humprhies iso works out for us, but we should NOT be running ISO plays one on one down in the post for Humprhies. He loses the ball way too much.
He actually did it ok last night
He can drive had an and one and a I remember a step back jumper over Amare. Without Lopez and Okur we need more of that from him. I am excited abou our big rotation with Lopez, Hump, Okur, Shellz and JWill. That should mean lots of Petro in suits.
I LOVE IT!!!
The JETS/NETS are coming!
His game is progressing with every start - Between last season and this one
he less than a full season’s worth of starts. The starts and playing time exude confidence.
I hope he is a net for a long time… We got him for a great price this year… but he deserves a lot more. What he does is hard to come by.
From a personality stand point
I don’t understand why a lot of people boo him, or why he is the #1 most hated player in the NBA. Even when he was interviewed last night about Chandler Bing(Tyson), he didnt even bad mouth Chandler, even said Chandler was a nice guy.. People who takes Kardasian’s side, better get a life and realize these reality shows are fake. And a lot about the Hump’s personal life with K are fabricated. I think the NBA is desperately needing somebody that people would hate more than Lebron James because the NBA needs James’ money making news back. If you make someone else more hated than James, then he can start to fix his career.. Just my 2 cent. Hump I think is really a nice guy on and off the court.
totally agree
hump seems like a really great guy on and off. says all the right stuff, constantly hustles. nothing not to like about the guy
Players don't like him because he out-hustles guys for rebounds...
Fans don’t like him because clearly Kim Kardashian is a positive role model in this society, and the big bad pro athlete was really just taking advantage of that helpless girl with all her money
by Chakroot on Feb 21, 2012 8:53 AM EST up reply actions 1 recs
Nets fans shouldn't be naive like Knicks fans.
Nets didn’t give Hump a multi-year contract because they needed the cap space.
Even if Nets send Lopez, Morrow and Farmar to ORL, by taking back Turk with Howard, will make it hard to re-sign Hump.
He is not coming back here next year.
His type of game is useless next to Dwight. Just because D Will offered him a compliment doesn’t mean that he wants him back.
Don't agree. I think will appreciate having someone else rebound and bang the other big men.
Takes some guys off of his back.
i think he would fit in just fine plus maybe d-will and dwight can take less to make room for hump next season
by avilanets85 on Feb 21, 2012 12:20 PM EST up reply actions
If Hump stays in the Dwight trade (and he has a no trade veto)
We can go over the cap to resign him. Would really like that scenario.
Deron/Morrow/Turk/Hump/Dwight
Yes that works
You can go over the cap to resign your own players.

Btw DWill REALLY struggles finishing at the basket in traffic. Of seems he can get there but never finishe
Has this always been one of his struggles?
Before this season, he was one of the best at it.
Since our big men are pretty much useless on offense, the defenses have been able to clog the lane whenever DWill drives.

not when he has the entire defense collapsing on him
shelden cant catch or hit anything from outside of point blank range(even then he still struggles), Petro always spots up for an 18 foot jumper. Hump sometimes doesnt cut and then spots up at a not so good angle for a kickout
everybody else doesnt cut and sits on the perimeter but no one sits in the corner(the easiest spot to throw out to if he decides he cant make the layup and wants to pass out)
in Utah, Okur could hit threes, Kirilenko could slash or shoot, Boozer was a consistent jump shooter and could roll very well to the basket and everyone else could slash(Brewer, Miles, Matthews) or hit threes(Korver) oh and Millsap very good in the pick and roll game as well as he has proven range too
Deron is driving into clogged lanes almost every time because if you smother him he’s not going to be able to find Stevenson or Morrow 20 some feet away behind him. Thats where a bunch of his turnovers come from besides guys just dropping his passes out of bounds

Bec our bigs aren't smart enough to give good screens...
also don’t know how to position themselves under the basket for D-Will to manuever around them and get a free layup (Jason Collins was excellent with these)
also, none of them are skilled enough to play the pick-and-roll/pop… (this will change when Lopez gets his game back)
by jirohkanzaki on Feb 21, 2012 9:25 AM EST up reply actions
That's not it
It’s that he has zero people to pass to once he gets down there (nobody can finish around the rim) so the defense can just double team him and force him into an impossible shot.

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"

I understand all of that. He's not going to get easy buckets of course not
But even when we had JKidd after the Martin days he was able to finish. Alot of it I’m sure is spacing our horrible pick and roll game and having guys like Sheldon under but I’ve seen plenty of times he get off a shot and if it’s contestested he hits the front of the rim. Is there a chart to show his hot spots and weaknesses for his career?
not sure
I really don’t see the problem other than the defenses collapsing on him. Opposing defenses couldn’t afford to gamble on Kidd like that with Carter and Jefferson out there.

I'm not complaining at all trust me lol
I damn near kicked my girl off the couch in that 3rd quarter where DWill exploded. But I’ve just notices this whole season he has been struggling around the basket. We have guys like Kyrie with a not so great supporting cast shooting excellent do I was just wondering if this was a career thing for DWill
He’s had trouble finishing through contact this year (although the numbers suggest that he’s only slightly below average in that regard). I hope he improves dramatically next season because he’s going to need to able to finish when the Nets face tough teams like the Bulls and Heat.
with Howard rolling off of the pick
I predict he would have a pretty good time at that

Thats been how I've seen it without looking at the stats
He just seems to struggle in traffic. Your a stats guy is there a stats that measures his “hot spots” for his career?
Williams has an effective FG % of .667 from close this season
So the stats do not back up your observation. He does get blocked on the other third of his close attempts but I agree that has to do more with over penetration and a lack of an interior finisher to pass off to.

The game last night showed Dwill is one of the best SHOOTING guard in the league ala Kobe but not as a point guard. It’s better to leave the point to Marshon or Farmar.

Hmmmm. So , guess who's back with Dan Fegan?
But one thing I did not predict was that Humphries would also be divorcing Cornstein within a year of signing him as his new agent. Cornstein, who represents Samuel Dalembert, Darko Milicic, Beno Udrih, and Nenad Krstic, seemed to have a solid game plan with Humphries. Cornstein hired Humphries’ best friend, Josh Ketroser, who had experience in the industry based on formerly working at Priority Sports & Entertainment. The Pinnacle Hoops website listed Ketroser as the company’s East Coast Director and also posted information about Humphries. Those two names are no longer found on Cornstein’s agency’s website. That is because Humphries released Cornstein from his duties, and in the process, Ketroser left Pinnacle Hoops.
Kris Humphries is back with his original agent, Dan Fegan, who also negotiated Humphries’ 1-year contract worth roughly $8 million.

Stephen Jackson was team captain of the Warriors when they made major playoff runs no?

He’s much better than anything the Nets have now at that position.

I don't agree with that assessment at all
He and Skiles just don’t get along and he’s already checked out of Milwaukee, that’s why he’s not playing. There’s much more to a player’s contribution than just PER.
I just find it interesting considering there's always those who think
there’s some backwoods thing going on whenever we sign a Fegan client.
And that Fegan actually did Hump’s deal w/ us in the first place, while the rest of us were focused on Dwight-mare.
maybe Hump...
is coming up in trade talks…and he wants to be in the loop. Who knows more than Fegan? There are a lot a big decisions to be made because Hump has the option of vetoing a trade…maybe it’s not a trade to the Magic, but a third team in need of a PF where Nets/Magic would get an additional piece. If Nets don’t plan to resign him this off season…maybe he would welcome the trade.

I don't think he's scared of contact (block on Tyson Chandler)
To me , he looks a little indecisive at times – not sure if to shoot or take it to the hole.
only thing is that he has that Providence gunner mentality stuck in him
which is good for his confidence. but he has to learn to trust his teammates(which is very hard but still) and not get caught in tunnel vision and jacking up shots because he has the ball
if he can learn how to set up others off his scoring ability like Harden he will be a beast

That is what you need from that position.
He needed to do that to Lin from the first game.
The problem with Hump is his pick and roll defense. He comes out too far.
He also needs to work on some real offensive moves. In the chicago game he had this inside drive. In Knicks game he was doing on outside drive. He needs to know when to use them. He should have done the inside drive all day on Amare and Jeffreys. He wouldve gotten to the basket and either score or get fouled.

yeah I notice Hump hedges way too far up the court and doesnt have the quickness to recover to stop PGs
a guy like Lin no matter what he has done, he’s still unproven. Forcing him left and giving him the 20 foot jumper is a must until he turns into Tim Hardaway. Do not let his big roll and the help man Lin is rolling away from must rotate to the paint before he gets there and let the point rotate to his man or double Lin on his drive
also Hump was sticking to Chandler way too much. He’s not going to hit jumpers or even dribble. Hump has to know his opponent and when he should cheat on help defense and not(like leaving Stoudemire open for jumpers)

Tim Hardaway
Wow!! I haven’t heard or read that name in a LONG time. One of my all-time favorite players when he played for golden state. Loved the UTEP!!!
To say that Lin is going to be a Tim Hardaway is a stretch. I think Lin is capable of becoming a true PG in the league, but no superstar, no craziness or anything like that. He has to keep up this for at least 2 seasons before I change my tune.
I still think we should put together a three team deal

I haven’t uttered a bad thing about Deron ever since he changed his attitude, has played hard, and has been the most consistent Net. I am a huge MarShon supporter. I always give the Hump credit. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS GIVE CREDIT to two of my favorite Nets right now, DeShawn Stevenson and Shelden Williams for their professionalism and gritty play while others on here CONSTANTLY KILL THEM. Why don’t you go out of your way to call them negative, huh???
I fail to see how I am viewed as a negative poster when all of my complaining is because I WANT THE NETS TO BE GREAT. I love this team, if I didn’t I wouldn’t give a flying what if they were this bad. You guys kill me.
I’ll continue to be me, and post my thoughts. But lets be honest here, because it pisses me off when you guys only focus on the stuff that you don’t agree with and then pretend that its all that I say on here. Ridiculous.

Listen
I like the contribution you give to this site and everyone missed you when you were banned. Sometimes the hyperbole is seen as being negative and it gets a little old, just so you know.
I agree with you on Deron, Shelden, MarShon, and DeShawn – along with Brook they are the bright spots on this roster and form a core that is better than anything the Nets have had in a while. I know this team sucks I just get tired of people acting like it’s some great injustice perpetrated by the front office.
And you’re right to say that Dwight is not set in stone. I just think this franchise has a bright future Dwight or no Dwight.

Lets’ be real here, MrDB is just trying to keep it objective. He calls out the team when they should be called out and gives credit when it’s due. I believe it was Mr.DB who even said Deron would go HAM against the knicks.

Lin points/game
Yes ,Lin can play in this league,yes can score but the one thing they dont what you to know is how many shots per game he takes.
By the way, during the post game an oriental reporter.." yesterday you beat champion,
today you lose to no good team"…..Lin was classy to tell her…." I WILL NOT CALL THE
NETS A NO GOOD TEAM"
Oriental reporters .." hee, hee ,hee,heee ".that was priceless…lol
That woman reporter had me ROFL....
You had to hear how she said it…Words can’t describe how funny it was.
Wow, butt hurt much??....from P&T!!
DeShawn Stevenson torched them from outside early to dissolve a double-digit difference and Deron Williams, vindictive little toad that he is, took it from there.

because it was a double technical but some how the refs botched it up & allowed him to come back and play into the game. If roles were reversed & that was HUMP acting like a petulant child @ THE ROCK he’s gone.

One ref might have not seen the other one call one.
There was a lot of confusion since he was around the Nets’ bench. They always come together and talk about that kind of event. Which since he wasn’t tossed, they didn’t view it as sequential technicals. Did his actions warrant a second technical? Very close— had they called it earlier
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
I'm not talking about HUMPS foul, I'm talking about
Chandler got a “T” from the ref for holding on to HUMP’s arm by one official. Then right before they were about to go to commerical Chandler got a “T” from another official for going to the Nets bench. He got “T” up twice on that play by different refs. That’s an ejection and Chandler knew it that’s why if you rewatch he was about to go to the lockers before actually going back to the knicks bench. They botched it!!

Chandler DIDN'T get tossed
I thought for sure he was getting tossed when I saw it live, too.
But that’s what makes the whole situation seem totally rigged. He should have gotten tossed for going after Humphries and physically grabbing him after live play had already ended.
I don’t care what his intentions were, but he should be tossed for that alone.
refs were poor
the synecdochic moment was when the knicks were trying to foul morrow at the end of the game, and JR smith had to repeatedly slap him on the arm to get the call.

Now there are saying regardless of the success the Antoni is lame duck. If the gets fired, Proky should hire him for offense. I would take Antoni as assistant coach. If Antoni made Lin, imagine what Dwill would become. Then you add Dwight.
I dont like the guy as a head coach, but as an offensive coordinator I would be ok with.

Said on First Take this morning that Deron Williams has been the best point guard in the NBA thus far this season. I agree.
But he also mention he was playing with the irrelevant trash that is the rest of the Nets roster. I also agree with that.
he's spot on
which makes it even better when we get a full and healthy roster together. In Brooklyn thus team is going to be radically different even if theres no Dwight. BK better remind him about that even day until he becomes a free agent

i was at the game last night
Hump staring down Chandler and Melo during a timeout was hilarious. He was playing pissed. Between the spontaneous YOU SUCK and KIM K chants at the FT line, and Melo and Chandler playing dirty, by the end of the game he was using tyson chandler’s chest as a heavy-bag. I don’t know if it translated well on TV, but he was straight up elbowing chandler right in the chest every time down, and then staring at him with this “do something about it” look.
That game was incredibly fun to watch while be surrounded by “the enemy”
Deron was clearly in full revenge mode. Knicks fans would let out deep sighs every time he crossed up one of their guys. At one point when Deron got fouled on a made three, I jumped up and popped my Brooklyn Nets shirt and screamed “BROOOOOOOOOOKLYN” and some other Nets fan in a Deron jersey ran over to me to shake hands and chest bump while everyone in our section boo’d us.
Hump would kill both of them in a fight too
I loved every second of the physical play. That was manly stuff right there
by MrDollarBills on Feb 21, 2012 11:30 AM EST up reply actions
agreed manly and fun to watch
but honestly…the ref’s should’ve never let it get to that point. Let’s not forget morrow lost 4 teeth, I hope that doesn’t hurt him in the ASG or 3 point contest. You can fix knocked out teeth but come on…that’s gotta be painful.
I love what hump does to the team, all my knick fans are like Hump is a punk etc etc. but he’s not the one who got in foul trouble, AND we won the game. BOOO YAH!
great stuff.
I absolutely love the way Hump competes.
btw this post is awesome
made me grin again. i’ve been grinning all day since yesterday’s win. i’m glad you were able to do all that in the midst of the enemy.
Speaking of The Herd
Bill Simmons thinks Howard, Williams and Nets have some sort of agreement. He thinks that the fact that Deron Williams is content with his current situation is odd and might be a hint that the Nets know something about Howard.
bill simmons speaks in insane hyperbole
and the sooner people realize this, the less angry they’ll be. this is the same man who said the lockout would lead him to quitting the NBA and going all in on hockey. he bought LA Kings season tickets.
now he’s at every clippers game and doing full mailbags on jeremy lin and the celtics.

didnt Simmons write a week ago that Deron to the Mavericks was a more done deal than Phelps winning gold swimming and there is not a single person in the know that thinks its not a 100% done deal?

those of you folks that were on here yesterday kicking DeShawn’s back in, you need to rethink your opinions. This guy is a flat out baller, watch last night’s game and observe his defense and leadership out there on the floor. That game was one of the most physical we’ve played in awhile and who was out there banging heads with Melo? DESHAWN.

Nets some solid pieces that would do well on good teams. Stevenson—Defense, Morrow—outside shooting, and Hump—hustle and rebounding.
This team is STACKED with role players.

Every single playoff team needs a guy like Stevenson to get inside the other team’s head. He did a great job roughing up Melo and baiting Melo into sloppy play.

sounds like he wants to stick around, let's hope so.
a great stopper off the bench or for long stretches on certain nights. Get a slashing/scoring Sf in fron of him and we’re set – with Dwight or Lopez. Our bench gets that much better if Lopez, Marshon and A legit SF are starting.
Bench = Farmar ,Morrow, Stevenson, Shewill and Memo with Shawne, Gaines and JWill bringing up the rear.
I didn't understand the signing at the beginning of the season...but he's changed my mind
Hard-nosed player with a good attitude. Does all the little things.
Assuming he can stay healthy, he’s great to have in the locker room. I always thought he was kind of a thug but I’m beginning to think he’s more misunderstood.
yeah man i was one of them
he was playing like moiso lately (although i didn’t complain about his defense). i did give him credit for the knee injury though so was waiting for him to show up. and show up last night he did. i was screaming stevenson loud as hell last night.
Just owned Knicks fans respectfully on Posting and Toasting
Even if Deron may have got “every” call, he also missed the last 3 minutes of the game after fouling out. (first time he’s fouled out in 2 years)
Look, the officiating was atrocious. The Knicks should’ve gotten a couple of calls. The one that stands out in my mind was a drive late in the game where Melo was clearly fouled on a missed layup.
But still, your team is just flat out underperforming. Sure, you beat the Mavs, but the rest of the teams you beat were either awful or in disarray like the Lakers.
With the roster you have, you have NO BUSINESS being under .500 and that all is on D’Antoni.
Take a few things into consideration:
1. The Nets have an AWFUL roster. Brook Lopez has been out both times we’ve played you and say what you want about his rebounding, he is an offensive force in the middle. He averaged 21 ppg last year and has an offense built around him.
Do you think it’s an accident that the Nets have so many 3-point shooters? Nope, they’re assembled to play like the Magic.
Additionally, the Nets have had a bunch of guys go down. Stevenson has missed a bunch of games, Marshon is a rookie and missed 10 games, Okur went down for the season, Bogans down for the season, Damion James down for the season, Farmar in and out (out last night), etc.
Despite that the Nets have come into the Garden twice and worked the Knicks. The Nets were up by double digits in the first matchup before Lin turned into Isiah Thomas and we also led last night by as many as 18 with NO INTERIOR offense to speak of.
2. Just look at the Knicks roster. How in the hell are you under .500? How!? And you’ve done it against statistically the easiest schedule in the NBA.

You guys need to get D’Antoni out of there or the Knicks will never reach their potential.

And they're funny over there. They fail to blame their own team for getting spanked
90% of their comments is about the Refs handing the Nets the game and Deron being a douche (for celebrating the same way Lin and Melo routinely run down the court after knocking down shots).
They should just own up to the fact they’re an abysmally run team/organization.

It's already been said by Experts & Nets Fans, but now Dallas Fans Concede the Improbable Scenario of Sigining both Williams & Howard
http://www.mavsmoneyball.com/ Maverick Finances 101: Can Dallas afford Deron Williams and Dwight Howard?
Post concludes that the GM will more than likely have to choose in signing either Williams or Howard but cannot sign both. The only problem with that scenario is that Williams and Howard are a inextricably linked this upcoming free agency period. Basically, if Dallas cannot make room to sign both, Nets are the 100% guaranteed destination for the free agents. Caveat, this scenario plays out only if Howard makes it to free agency.

Best Line that Describes DWill's Performance Against the Knicks yesterday...basically just ishing on them!LOL!
Over at P&T: " Had Deron not fouled out, he probably would’ve taken a dump at center court at the final buzzer, and the Knick guards would have had to clean it up for some reason." LOL.
If you read between the lines, so to speak
It’s obvious Deron was talking about Dwight. It’s also obvious why we didn’t show more interest in Balkman. It’s also abundantly clear why we’re keeping a roster spot open till the deadline. Fegan, Deron, BK and Dwight have this all planned out.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Trust me bro
if there wasn’t a plan in place for Dwight, what superstar in their right mind would be ‘’very comfortable’’ with a 10-24 team?

I think you are correct about keeping a roster spot open. That is probably why
by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 21, 2012 12:10 PM EST up reply actions
Most Likely
But hypothetically, even if we don’t land Dwight, we can improve the roster in a hurry this offseason. Even a Plan B consisting of a hight 1st rounder, resigning a healthy Lopez, resigning Hump & signing a SF like Gerald Wallace is a much improved team. It’s not an elite team, but it is a playoff team heading in the right direction.
Anyone find a clip of Melo trrpping hump?

It's days like today (and games last night) that make me actually proud to be a Nets fan...
Tough times come and go for every team, but with the Nets, tough times are the norm. I still don’t believe that any games actually matter this season, but last night put that theory to the test.
I saw swagger from the Nets. I saw deron Williams embrace performing in front of a sold out NYC crowd. I saw all the reasons why Deron is a superstar. One game won’t change the losing culture over night, but wow, that felt good. I don’t hate the Knicks, because I love when we beat them.

Guy has played nine games and they are selling pictures of him with an authentic facsimile autograph for $100… crazy.
