Nets Can't Recover From Rough First Quarter vs. Magic and Howard Who Calls Nets Fan Reaction "Humbling"

Jay-nets_100_tiny by NetsDaily on in Game Recaps

The good news is that the Nets played even with the Orlando Magic for the final three quarters. The bad news is that they put themselves in a 17-point hole in the first. The result: an easy 108-91 victory for Orlando at the Prudential Center. Along the way, Nets fans let Dwight Howard know he'd be more than welcome in Newark or Brooklyn.

Howard called the fan reaction a "humbling experience." but when asked about the Nets and the future, he said he's focused on basketball.

The Magic shot 15-24 in the first quarter, led 34-17 after the first 12 minutes, and by as many as 22 midway through the second. Another flurry of third-quarter threes from Deron Williams cut the lead to eight, but the Magic answered with a 12-2 run and the Nets never got to within single-digits after that.

MarShon Brooks led the Nets with 24 points, shooting 10-for-15 from the field and 4-for-7 from three-point range. Williams finished with 23 points, six rebounds and eight assists. And in his second game back from surgery, Brook Lopez scored 15 points on 7-for-16 shooting, but grabbed just four rebounds in 28 minutes. Howard led the Magic, who shot 54 percent for the game, with 20 points and 17 rebounds.

I was sitting right in front of them and ignored it for 2 or 3 quarters, but my ears were about to shatter.

Why not? Dwight creates space. Brook can shoot it.

I mean look at what Dwight in the paint does for Anderson & Hedo. Lopez would have tons of airspace to shoot it, or pass to Dwight in the paint.

okay first Lopez has no range outside 20 feet. RA, Dirk, Bargs, Frye, Love these guys can knock down threes like nothing

second he makes minimal effort to establish a rebounding presence

third he is not quick enough

Yeah

I know Lopez dosen’t shoot 3’s, i wasn’t saying he does, just that dwight in the paint (said nuttin about moving him out the paint) creates looks because he draws attention.

How many teams could cover both Dwight and Lopez playing an inside out game? That was my point.

Ok so First of all this wasn't a MUST WIN game.

I fell out of my chair when i read that. Second, We’re missing Hump he could have dominated Anderson down low if he was at the game. The Magic are simply better than us and Hump’s injury doesn’t help either. Lopez had a decent game, nice seeing him jump around and not being worried at all with his foot but you can see that he’s still lost on defense and offense. You can still see the rust in his game but yeah he needs to rebound the ball.

Agree, not a must win by any stretch

This was just an exhibition game, and Hump being out just seems a bit too convienent. Hump is tough as nails, i think management played a role here. I mean i love Hump and all, but if he goes to Orlando with Farmar and Okur, well i guess i could handle it.

This was a weird game tho, that much is certain.

At best NBA coaches are just doing damage control this season, at least those coaches lucky enough to have teams with chemistry and past experience. This team is ad hoc at best, we run 2 or 3 plays. What kind of standard can you really expect when this lost season is running player health into the ground.

I want someone to blame, but on this one i’d have to blame Stern for this meatgrinder of a season.

But also keep in mind that the Nets have picks to actually make those trades semi-feasable.

While the Magic literally have no assets to acquire a guy of Grangers or Smith’s caliber.

3 things

- Brook is going to a third team if this deal goes through

- the best thing about tonight was that MarShon Brooks showcased himself enough to be a major factor in a potential Howard deal.

- Andre Emmitt’s dunk with 2 seconds left on the clock will most likely be his last points as a Net.

Young is 4 years older than MarShon....

and only exploded last season… in his 1st, end and 3rd year he averaged 7.5, 10.9, and 8.6 ppg respectevily… Nick Young can’t share the ball and despite beeing 6-7 and big for a guard his rebound numbers are low compared to MarShon.
MarShon is MarShon he isn’t that young for a rookie, but he’s still a rookie and adpating to a new league and is avereging pretty good numbers for a rookie: 15 ppg; 4 rpg; 2 apg; 1spg; and more than 1, 3pter per game.

He’s going to get better and better, and let’s see where his limit is….I thinks next summer he needs to work on getting bulkier so he can be more muscular driving to the basket and drawing more fouls.

The truth is in the middle

We as Nets fans tend to extremely overrate Lopez. Orlando fans extremely underrate him. I was reading a thread on the Orlando SB Nation site, and fans were talking about Lopez as if he was a salary dump throw in, and that they he’s a potential deal breaker & would rather not include him.

The truth is Lopez is a solid, offensive center. To me he’s what Big Z was in his prime. There’s nothing wrong with that, and just about every team could use a starting center like that. He’s on par with most of the other higher end centers in the league. He’s clearly behind Howard & a healthy Bynum. He’s not significantly better or worse than guys like Bogut, Hibbert, Noah, Nene, etc. On a very good team, he could be your #2 option offensively, but overall he’s your 3rd best player. He doesn’t have the athleticism to be better than that.

You can’t blame the Magic fans for not wanting Lopez and change for Howard. It’s a tough call for them. Yes, they’ll likely lose him for nothing, and conventional wisdom would say get something back for him & at least dump some bad contracts in the process. However, they’re currently a strong 3 seed in the East, and probably one nagging DRose injury from a Conference Finals birth. Is a slightly expedited rebuilding process worth giving up one last playoff run?

Disagree with this statement....

“He’s clearly behind a healthy Bynum.”

IF Lopez was on the Lakers he would be all world compared to what Bynum is doing right now on the Lakers. Bynum is a product of the system by having Kobe & Gasol around him. And If you don’t believe me, this was Lopez last year vs those Lakers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTm9onQULVg

He replicates Pau Gasol too much. Lopez would not be as good on the Lakers as Bynum is.

so you are saying it's about the fit/chemistry not necessarily the talent...!?!?!

which buys into my debate of “product of the system” for Bynum. I see that but to say Bynum is clearly better overall talent wise compared to Lopez is false to me

I don’t mind the losses because lets face it this team was a patchwork in progress since the lockout ended. The thing that gets me is his in-game management at times. His use of line up rotations. The team NOT playing TEAM DEFENSE whatsoever. Your backup bigs are getting out rebounded. That’s not talent folks, thats just shear hustle & desire to go after the ball.

IMO

Getting Dwight guaruntee the Nets contender status especially if Hedo comes too. 2 max deals really makes improving hard under this CBA. If Dwight comes in free agency and takes a pay cut with Deron then maybe the Nets can afford afford AK, Hump 2 1st rd picks but I really don’t see all that happening.

I don't think that's true, even in recent history.

Lakers won two championships with Pau as their second best player, a guysofter than Brook Lopez. Bynum played limited mins in those championship runs due to injury problems, so it was really down to Pau, who had to play center a lot.

http://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/2012/2/22/2815563/orlando-magic-at-new-jersey-nets-game-preview#

The Dwight Situation is Very Clear Now…

If Dwight wants to play in Brooklyn, this is not a basketball decision. It’s not a "I just want to win a title" decision. It is simply that Howard wants to play in a big NY media market. That’s it. His choice, but seems very self-centered. The Nets have a horrible fan base, and it would be a clear front-running fan base if Howard goes there. Orlando has the best arena in the league, an owner willing to spend, a superior coach, and superior team. Unfortunayely, we also have Otis Smith. I see this team as being a strong PG away from being a true title contender. Love Jameer, but he would be ideal as a sixth man in a scoring role. We need a PG that can dribble pentrate, handle, and preferably is big enough to defend the position. The f’in Nets??

The clown who wrote that brilliant piece of homerism is named “Poon”. A fitting name.

He’s mad.

After tonight the conclusion on the DH situation i've come to is that....

…..there won’t be a trade before the deadline. While I see that Brook is just very very rusty and way out of sync I think that Magic mgmt see what will be a huge drop off from what they’ve been used to for the last 7 years. While Marshon (who I wouldn’t want to trade) looked good and the draft picks are gonna be excellent, the feeling i’ve come away from tonight with is that the Magic will take their chances of resigning DH in Free Agency.

Check back with me tomorrow and I may feel different but tonight I think it’s off…..

which is very good.

So I take it you think the Magic are gonna do the trade then?

I just don’t think they were enthralled with Brook at all. It’s gonna take him a while to get back to form. Consequently, I think they’re gonna keep him until FA…..and if they do they’ll lose out. 50/50 either way if he gets to FA as Cuban is not joke.

The Mavs don’t have the assets, the Lakers appear out of the mix, and it is unlikely Dwight will demand to be traded mid season to a non-playoff team, so their is no leverage on the trade market other than the Nets bidding against free agency. I just don’t see the incentive for a trade for any party unless the Nets think they don’t have very good to great odds of landing Dwight in freeagency

he makes a lot of jokes about not resigning with the nets and says lots of statements about being comfortable here. What cruel person can possibly do so. Look at how happy avery always is, look at how angry svg is.

by Rass on Feb 23, 2012 12:46 AM EST up reply actions  

probably because of the lack of rotations. Dwill would be nuts to leave us. Especially when he’s just as much of the coach as avery is. Avery admitted, Deron has so much pull he can pretty much do his pull up 3 whenever he’s feeling it. That’s any player’s dream. AI & Jr Smith get criticized for doing that regardless.

by Rass on Feb 23, 2012 12:51 AM EST up reply actions  

Then you havent been paying attention.

If one thing has become obvious, its that both Dwight and Deron like the big market.

Dwight requested a trade to the Nets. Deron did not request a trade to the Magic, or anybody for that matter. In fact, he says he is “very comfortable”

I think it's fine.

I dont care.

Im going to take the words that have come out of a direct source’s mouth than a “feeling” or a “hunch.”

Dwight Howard requested a trade to the Nets (fact). Orlando reporter Josh Robbins reported today that that request still stands.

I think it's fine.

by NetsMets4Life on Feb 23, 2012 12:56 AM EST up reply actions  

If you said just

“I don’t think we should act like this is a done deal” then fine, I agree. But to say that you have a feeling that Deron will join the Magic for no reason other than a hunch is nonsensical.

I think it's fine.

by NetsMets4Life on Feb 23, 2012 12:57 AM EST up reply actions  

maybe

but there is a 0% chance of him going to orlando as a free agent

i don’t but wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what deron said. also does anyone think that maybe deron knows that dwight is coming soon because first he says he’s “comfortable” and plus maybe orlando is probably like as long as you’re with us for the all-star game then we’ll grant you your wish. idk just talking here lol

Say Dwight doesn't come..

Anyone see a better option for Dwill next year?

Dallas is the biggest fear IMO. Dwight and Deron for them would be difficult, bu they have an established winning tradition and will already have enough cap space to sign Deron this offseason. After that, Houston (http://www.hoopsworld.com/houston-rockets-team-salary), possibly Portland?? (http://www.hoopsworld.com/portland-trail-blazers-team-salary).

by NJNETS29 on Feb 23, 2012 1:07 AM EST reply actions  

Brooklyn or Dallas

Dwight and Deron are going to play together

by fumblesnout on Feb 23, 2012 1:08 AM EST up reply actions  

i honestly dont think hell be traded this year though

why would anyone trade for him? unless a team wants him as a rental? he xant and wont extend anyway. he has to be a free agent, even if he is traded to us or dallas or la

by NJNETS29 on Feb 23, 2012 1:11 AM EST up reply actions  

yeah thats orlandos incentive for trading him

but what is the other teams motive? he will opt out of his contract regardless and at that point why not choose the best situation going forward in FA? unless dwight really wants the 5th year, which is overated IMO..

by NJNETS29 on Feb 23, 2012 1:14 AM EST up reply actions  

I agree

They have an agreement, I’d say if Dwight doesn’t get traded to LA by march 15 he’s gonna be a Net at 60%

Brooklyn we go hard...

by Fabio Villani on Feb 23, 2012 1:10 AM EST up reply actions  

Agreed

It will come down to this 2, i’m sure their main priority is to play here with dallas as the fallback option if it doesn’t work out for dh and us, but they will definitely play together one way or another whether is it here or dallas

by BkNetsfan on Feb 23, 2012 1:12 AM EST up reply actions  

If Deron and Dwight will end up together

i’m going to root for them (but Nets still remaing my first team). They’re great players and cool guys

Brooklyn we go hard...

by Fabio Villani on Feb 23, 2012 1:15 AM EST up reply actions  

Deron bought a new home in Soho

he feels confortable here, he will play in a big market. If Dwight is available trough free agency..no way he signs in Dallas. It’s all about Brooklyn

Brooklyn we go hard...

Soho?

Great area

by nets14 on Feb 23, 2012 1:37 AM EST up reply actions  

Yup me too

But the fact that dwill hasn’t demanded a trade yet, says he feels very comfortable here and even joking after this game about not resigning has me feeling real confident about our chances of landing dwight.

by BkNetsfan on Feb 23, 2012 1:19 AM EST up reply actions  

hell no

if they go to Dallas, screw those guys

by sheepareevil on Feb 23, 2012 1:27 AM EST up reply actions  

i have a feeling that deron DOES NOT want to play with just Brook in Brooklyn. what i'm saying is

if we another team gets dwight at the deadline, and we don’t get any really good players in the off season, i have a feeling deron will leave. He might stay if we add like a josh smith, but if there are no additions, d-will is gone. But i do think that dwight is coming here, via trade or FA. sorry if what i posted is old news. just something that was on my mind

by bbfan5117 on Feb 23, 2012 1:13 AM EST reply actions  

I don't think it is old news but I think it is the belief shared among most fans

The question become what do we need to appease Deron? Would Andre Igoudala .be enough. I could see us turning our attention in that direction if Dwight falls through. Trade for A.I. draft well, and fill holes and build depth through freeagency and we are a much better team. Championship contender…probably not but certainly capable making the playoffs in the east

Good Article by Dave D

Picture it: Dwight Howard, the trade deadline behind him, wearing a Nets uniform on March 16 in (of all places) Orlando. By that time, the Nets will be in the neighborhood of 13-31, with 21 games to make up a 10-game deficit in the race for eighth place, and everyone will tsk-tsk Howard for giving up a prime year of his life to watch the playoffs on TV.

Stern would just block such an arrangement (see Joe Smith, 2000).

Nets encore

Watching this…now
it’s clear as day. Our bigs are stepping out way too far on screens on defense. They’ve been doing this all season and not one coach
on the staff has fixed this yet. When they do this, it either leaves the big they were guarding wide open or they’ll run into one of their own team mates which now leaves 2 opponents open. This is very sickening and needs to stop.

I don't feel as confident about landing Dwight as I did this time yesterday morning..

..then again, I still feel like it’ a sealed deal, just a matter of when.

with Otis Smith being there last night, you KNOW he talked to King face to face.

by soul driver on Feb 23, 2012 6:58 AM EST reply actions  

Brook looked....ummm...like Brook

but getting 15 and 4 rebs. in 28 mins. in just your second game back is fine by me. I think he’ll get back to getting at least 8 rebs. a game.
