Game 35 - Nets vs. Magic - Wednesday, February 22, 7:30

Photo

From this moment on, and until at least March 15, forget reality. Rumors will fly, pundits will offer all manner of scenarios, the ESPN trade machine will break down and every team other than the Bobcats (actually even the Bobcats!) will be mentioned as a possible landing spot for Dwight Howard.

The Magic center is likely to be bombarded with questions before and after Wednesday's game, the last before the All-Star Break in Orlando. Our advice: don't get too up or too down between now and March 15. In spite of the Dwightmare, the Magic have the third best record in the East and the fifth best in the NBA. Aside from Howard, Ryan Anderson, still only 23, is looking like a player one step away from being a perennial All-Star. He's averaging 16.3 and 7.3, while shooting 44% from deep.

The Nets will have to put aside the distraction of playing against a guy who could wreak havoc on your roster, maybe even your career. Shouldn't be that hard. They're coming off a back-to-back-to-back during which they beat two of the hottest teams in the NBA, pretty much with ease. The Nets will once again go into the game with 11 active players, including some guy named Brook Lopez who's slated to play his second game.

I don't plan on cheering for Howard all game, just during intros and a blowout scenario (on either side)

But I will say that Lopez has to be a bit motivated…

He needs to do what he started doing last season

catch the ball and go right into his attack, no dribbling/holding the ball waiting for the double so he can flub a pass. Catch and go right to the rim. go go go

Saying Ryan Anderson is looking like a perennial all star is going too far.

But dammit that trade still irks me. Didn’t like it at the time and don’t like now Anderson is looking even better than I thought he could be. Screw, Thorn and Kiki. VC comming off a season of 20.8 ppg 5.1 rpg and 4.7 apg along with Anderson for that crybaby bum Courtney Lee.

I believe his numbers will fall

whenever Dwight leaves. Of course his numbers could be inflated because they’ll need his scoring even more so but I like Ryan Anderson don’t get me wrong, wish we kept him but I don’t think he’s nearly as good as he’s making it out to be on a Dwight centered team.

Ryan Anderson is the reason dwight is soo valuable

look at Rashard Lewis, Petrus, and even Hedo 1(the first time he played for Orlando). All of those guys, like Ryan Anderson, had their value massively inflated by playing with Dwight. once all of them left the team they pretty much sucked. I am also pretty confident that if we still had Ryan Anderson, he would be nowhere near as good for us.

That is why it is funny to hear that Orlando without dwight is a better team than us. it is just not true.

by tategeorge on Feb 22, 2012 7:24 AM EST via Android app reply actions  

No, he's right

Dwight is a product of the SVG system. He’s only great because of the outside threats from the 3 pt line. Take away Jameer, Reddick, Richardson and Anderson, and Dwight is an average center

It was no upset if you don’t drink the Knickerbocker cool aid. Wake me up when the Knicks beat the Heat or OKC. Knicks haven’t proved anything and it wasn’t an upset. Golden State beating Dallas in the first round of the playoffs was an upset. Nets beating Knicks when Deron was on a mission? Predictable.

15 point lead. Never thought about that possibility but yea, sure , I guess thatll work

by nwkiddnj on Feb 22, 2012 9:04 AM EST up reply actions  

understand that a 10 point cushion

is necessary for the nets to win ANY game. The bulls game we were up 17 and were able to absorb not only the bulls run but our own silly 4th quarter turnovers and horrible shots.

In the knicks game, we were also up 18 at one point and were able to absorb the run made by the knicks (and the refs).

I’ve seen the Nets blow a 10 point lead in exactly 4 minutes of basketball before. So if we’re up 10 with less than 4 minutes in the 4th, I think we’re okay. Anything less than 10 points however and we may lose the game.

Not being negative, these are just observations and stats I’ve seen watching every game this year.

i agree to an extent

on Dwight, but not on Deron. Deron has already garnered more endorsement deals since arriving in the NY area. Having a 5th year, plus more of those endorsements in the area, that will clearly pay more than any endorsements in Dallas, I don’t think he can recoup that money. For Dwight, the 5th year in Orl isn’t as big because the endorsement deals in NY would probably surpass it.

What's your opinion on the Magic salary dumping Jameer Nelson onto the Lakers?

Lakers need a PG and have a trade exception. Orlando could be looking to dump salary. If they get rid of Turk and Duhon in a Dwight trade, and then Jameer separately to the Lakers for a pick, they’d basically get out from under all their dead weight.

Only Jameer still doesnt get it yet. “I dont know why he doesnt want to play with me. I am a very good PG.”

Anderson is like. “Leave already. I can get a bigger contract if you gone, Dwight”

March 15 will pass

Trade deadline will pass without anything for us. King is sitting, waiting. If I am the Magic with one of the best records in the league, 3rd in the east, why would I trade Howard? Playoff games are worth millions of dollars to a franchise. They could easily go two rounds, maybe 3 if it all falls right. They will get the same deal over the summer as on March 15 and the Nets may have a great lottery pick too. I think King will not take on anything so we will be stuck with this underwhelming team with no SF for the rest of the year. Have mercy: let it end soon. On and On, and who knows if he resigns.

Should

He doesn’t have a refined back-to-basket game (mostly because he was a guard before his crazy growth spurt) and he’s skinny (though he already looks bigger than he did when the season started). Those are his only knocks. Right now he’s the best interior defender I’ve seen in years. His awareness and his motor are both crazy. He’s learning that he doesn’t have to block every shot and he actually tries to keep the ball inbounds when he does block them.

I like MKG and Sullinger, but Davis is going to be a monster.

by shane gayle on Feb 22, 2012 12:18 PM EST up reply actions  

I like Davis

but since most like we wont get the #1 pick, you want that team to take Davis.

I am not saying he is going to be a bust. I just think he is a little over rated. Yeah he is a good rebounder and shot blocker but like you said he doesnt have a post up game and his size.

You want the draft to flow. So when it is your pick you get the player you really want (Brooks) or get Lucky(Lopez).

I like what I see in MKG. He seems like a Pippen type of player. That is what we need. We need a SF that can do everything.

At this point Orlando has zero leverage in a trade

DALLAS
Dallas doesnt have a good young player or good draft picks so scratch them off. Cuban pretty much bowed out when he said he hoped the Nets suck

LAKERS
LA is a mess. Their managment is fragmented. Kobe ruined any chance of Dwight coming to the Lakers

NJ
That leaves only NJ as a trade partner. Orlando will return to the trade table with their tail between their legs. If the season ended today NJ would have a top 5 draft pick and Houstons draft pick. Since we last spoke to the Magic, Marshon Brooks has turned into a promising prospect. Add to it that Lopez is now back and bulked up. Also consider that the draft rights to Bogdanvic have increased in value with his incredible shooting in Euro League action.

I make these points because Orlando cant name their own price anymore. They were selfish and now its biting them in the ass. They could have had all of these assets. They will be lucky to get Lopez and a 1st at this point.

Lakers and Knicks are teams I fear.

Kobe scaring Dwight away is just a rumor at this point, and I’d imagine a top team with aging talent in disarray is more likely to rebuild with a superstar.

Melo would be a haul for the Magic, and although I think he prefers Deron/Brooklyn, Nice Guy Dwight might be persuaded to stay in NY with Lin and Amare.

But we are clearly in first.

If Dwight trade happens,

It would be more like

1-Dwight
2- Lin – until reality hits – ESPN and media are going to run with this until
3- Melo
4- Amare – Knick fans are delusional
5- DWill – Hates the media and would be more like Ewing with Dwight here.
6- Brooks
7 – Hump
8-Chandler

Tonight's not about winning or losing.

Nets are showcasing Lopez and Brooks. The magic will want to see Lopez w/o Hump (ie. rebounding). I predict early foul trouble for Dwight with 10+ rebounds for Lopez. Brooks will probably stink it up for obvious reason. Just my predictions.

nope it's any winning

I will be there!!

I invested and brought my first set of courtside tickets only 3 rows from the court! I need to close to tell Dwight how much we want him in Brooklyn! Can’t wait!!!!

by NetsBall4Real on Feb 22, 2012 12:43 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions  

Only!...

$115 a piece on stubhub! Brought them last week. Last time I looked they still had some for $225 at the lowest and just a row ahead of me..I got a steal!

by NetsBall4Real on Feb 22, 2012 12:59 PM EST up reply actions  

hope you have a great time!

I looked at stubhub few days ago and this game was quite expensive for a Nets game. Good for you.

Dinner

Dwight probably had dinner with Deron,
Otis with BK
Anderson with Lopez

all at the same place…lol

by Mushman on Feb 22, 2012 12:44 PM EST reply actions  

I really hate

ESPN and their employees.

SMH!!!!

They said Dwight is more of a business move then a basketball move for Brooklyn.

Yeah they need a good team for financial reasons going to brooklyn but Dwight F’en Howard is the best Basketball Player at his position in the league.

SMH!!!!

Ugly or not, let the kid learn...

….he used to be a PG back in high school, and he seems to be a smart enough guy to play in the position.

Granted

this isnt college

LOL...
According to a report from NiuBBall.com, recently added Knicks guard J.R. Smith was fined over $1 million for missing practices with his Chinese Basketball team Zhejiang Chouzhou.

A report published by NetEase states that Smith had $1.06 million deducted from his salary over the course of the season for missing practices. Most of the missed practices came during preseason.

"This was the arrangement when he came to the team," said Zhao. "Every practice we let him know. If he expressed to us that he wasn’t going to come to practice, we’d tell him that in accordance with our contract, we’re deducting money from your salary. And he’d always get back to us with, ‘Whatever. If you’re going to take it, then just take it.’"

No one can guard Anderson

he is similar to Illyosova.

Makes sense

Anderson makes his living on the perimeter anyway. he’s not posting anyone up. Where it will hurt is on the boards.

Hey guys, I’ve never been to the Pru/The Rock before, what stuff am I allowed to bring with me into the arena? (I.e. bottled water, food)

by mytoemytoe on Feb 22, 2012 1:04 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah but I want to bring in a bag with the signs I’m making for the game

by mytoemytoe on Feb 22, 2012 1:08 PM EST up reply actions  

That won't work

I went on Sunday and had 2 water bottles in my jacket. I was asked to throw them out before entering the arena. One of the bottles was a small 8 oz for my 5 yr old son and they wouldn’t even let me bring that in for him.
