Morrow's 42 Aren't Enough For Nets Against Timberwolves

PrintAnthony Morrow played the game of his life on Friday, but he didn't have enough help, as the Nets fell to the Timberwolves, 108-105 at the Prudential Center.
The Nets led by one at the half, and that was the margin midway through the third quarter before the Wolves took control with a 12-0 run. They led by five heading into the fourth, but the Nets came back to take the lead and the game went back and forth in the final period.
A 7-0 run put the Wolves up five in the final minute. Morrow then hit a four-point play to put the Nets within one, but the Wolves made all their free throws and Deron Williams turned the ball over twice in the last 25 seconds, including on the final possession.
Morrow led the Nets with 42 points, shooting 13-for-20 from the field and 8-for-11 from 3-point range. It was the Nets' first 40-point game in three years, since Vince Carter scored 41 in March 2009. Morrow's teamates shot 38 percent. Williams added 12 points and 14 assists, but was only 5-for-18. Jordan Farmar finished with 14 points and seven assists, and Kris Humphries added 15 points and nine rebounds. The Nets dressed only 10 players.

Wow what was Dwight thinking when he said he wanted to play alongside Morrow. Ammo can't do anything except make wide open shots. THE NEXT OUTLAW!

Who looks out of place – Kobe, Dwight Howard, LeBron, Anthony Morrow? With 42 points tonight, Morrow is 4th NBA player with 40+ this season
I think it's fine.
Lebron looks out of place.

Second year player with a good track record in Europe. He's a beast when he stays on the floor, but has had a lot of foul trouble adjusting to the NBA.

Great game.
No complaints here. Just optimism, we are banged up and performed pretty well against an up and coming team.
And great to see Morrow doing his thing.

But he was a due a bad game. Still dished the ball well. I just want them to not come back sloppy tomorrow.

tell me more, netstradamus!
Rubio is fake. DWill is going to expose him tonight.
While Rubio certainly outplayed him tonight
Deron’s crap shooting really didn’t have much to do with Rubio. He was missing the easy open looks that he had been knocking down for like the past few games.
Except for the 6 TO's to Rubio's 6 steals
Deron matched or outplayed Rubio. Rubio just had more dazzle.

(Universal fan perception, that lesser players tend to burn their teams.)
If the Wolves had lost this game, Canis Hoopus would be full of hair-pulling about Anthony Morrow.
And yet both Morrow and Nikola Pekovic are known quantities, at least in terms of what they did tonight. My Wolves are so starved for wing talent it’s painful, and players like Morrow go off on them. The Nets are starting Shelden Williams due to Brook’s injury. Sorry to see it, man.

Not mad at all
Sure dwill turned the ball over in the final possession, but don’t forget what he did the last few games.. This is just an off night game for him and he’ll turn it around.
As for the team, considering we were severely undermanned the last few games, their tiredness finally showed in this game but we showed effort and played hard especially ammo’s career night, thats all you can ask for as a fan… On to the next one, go nets!
Exactly how im looking at

Morrow has 42 points, After a 4 point play with 23 Seconds left, he never touches the ball again. F#*king Nets!

They were keying in on him
There’s a reason Hump was WIDE open on that cut for the dunk.

Deron tried to get it to him
but Rubio saw it coming a mile away. there’s no way they were gonna let him shoot a 3 to tie it
I dont even have much to say
Only thing is big allow way to many inside scoring
Morrow went super sayian on the wolves

partially agreed
fact was deron had 2 HUGE turnovers in crunch time that cost us the game. It doesn’t matter what happened before.
Basketball is a team sport
i agree he coulda done better. You just can’t completely blame it on him.

it's not necessarily the bigs' fault
Pekovic was wide open all the time because we had no idea what we were doing with the screens. our bigs would end up switching on to Rubio leaving Love/Pekovic wide open for the follow up

this team cant put Petro on the court in a tied game and then 6 minutes later take him out and they are down 15 points. No more. Coaches cant be that stupid play Jordan in his place.
Even though Deron had a sloppy inefficient game the nets should have won had they not had to climb out the massive ditches made twice when by putting Petro on the floor.

No one ever said it was easy being a Nets fan, with the situations we get put in, most fake bandwagon fans would laugh and pick a new team to route for. all im trying to say is lets stay optimistic. if there is one word to describe this season so far, it is adversity. and i promise you, no team will be successful without overcoming adversity at one point in a season. stay positive, love this team and you fans.

When a player drops 40+
and you have 100+ points, there is minimal reason to lose. The only way to is to give up more than you make (obviously). And to give up more than 100+ is terrible defense. Thus, defense is what lost us the game, not Deron

team defense was the problem
when we switched on the screens, we got destroyed. when we started fighting around them, not everyone realized this, and they’d end up with wide open layups
You're right: Deron played lights out and Avery is a great coach
defense is what lost us the game, not Deron
We can’t blame Deron. We can’t blame Avery.
I guess it all falls on Petro.

The game is played on 2 ends of the court
The 7-0 run in the final minute did it. That was both missing shots and turning the ball over but also bad defense.
This is spot on
Simple yet true. The d was atrocious. Vucivic or whatever his name is looked like a hall of famer tonight. This loss truly hurts because it was there for the taking. Hopefully Morrow can carry that beast like performance into the garden tomorrow. A win against the Knicks will cure this ache in all of our chests.

he's good but on curcial possesions in the 4th, why would you put farmar on him
& Bogans on the bench. If he’s being driving at will all game, Avery’s matchups & even plays on important times during the games are questionable. Like can’t remember exactly the plays, but do remember team having 2 TO’s right after he called a TO to diagram a play in this game. I get this team is already undermaned but it stuff like that can change an outcome.
I can recall when Spurs played Dallas last weekend. Spurs starters were sucking Parker & Duncan included. But Greg Pop put in all subs and those boys came back to make a game of it. By no means I’m I saying/jumping on the “FIRE AVERY” bandwagon. But I do want him to learn from his mistakes he has made so far this season. Case in point Petro’s should be in the dressing room & JWill should have his minutes. Yes JWill has only being back for a couple of games but when Avery went with other lineups with Petro on the bench it worked as well..

I question the use of offense/defense substitutions
If you don’t get a dead ball between possessions, you’re stuck with (for instance) Farmar (instead of Bogans) guarding Rubio.
2 TO’s right after he called a TO
you mean 2 turnovers after a timeout? I’m easily confused.

Just got back from the game
trade D WIll and get talent around Morrow
btw who’s that nikoli guy that lit us up? I never heard of him until today….
Didn't you hear, we just traded DWill?
For Pekovic
Na it's okay
Usually i can sense it but the way morrow played and how dwill’s last play made people here mad makes me wonder if you’re serious
30seconds left
I wish we didn’t foul with 30 seconds, We would of won with the three by morrow. But anyway tough lost Dwill cost us. There were many positives first Jordan Williams and now i can say i can handle getting rid of marshon brooks in a Dwight deal
It had nothing to do with the foul.
The twolves could have put the game completely away with a make or rebound. It was the right call and worked out perfectly, we got a 1 point game with 18 seconds left. We just didn’t execute on our last possesion.
by Nick Tortoise on Feb 3, 2012 11:02 PM EST up reply actions
Execute? There was no play. Avery used up all his time-outs too early
Bad possession by DWill obviously
Ya i know Dwill just lost the ball and messed up.
Executing = getting a good shot. Any make would mean we executed, doesn’t need to be a play set from timeout. Anyways early use of time outs may have been a reason for the loss also, lots of factors in this game.

Quotes from D-Will on the lose via @andy_vasquez on twitter
Deron Williams on late turnovers: “When I do something like that it definitely upsets me and it’s on me. I told the team it was my fault.”
More Deron: “It happens, man. You can’t be great in every pressure situation. Sometimes you turn the ball over, sometimes you miss shots…”
Deron continued: “It happens. You’re not going to hang your head on it. Got one tomorrow, I’ll be better tomorrow.”

Inevitable; by the way, he had a wicked throwdown on Hibbert two days ago that was completely obscured by Blakemania. More importantly, the Nets are grinding out some wins and leaving the door open for a playoff run if they can get Dwight at the deadline. Can you imagine Miami earning the top seed only to face a 31-35 Nets team with Deron and Dwight in Round 1?

Oh, and let’s not get carried away by Pek’s play. He was beasting but he was beasting on total scrubs, Nets don’t have any bigs. I doubt he would be doing this to good nba bigs.

you might have something there
can netsdaily contact the marketing dept(if any lol) and give us a section or something? If we carry just half our enthusiasm to the arena, it will be friggin awesome
the loud and proud section is a netsdaily production
ive never sat there but its pretty much there for us

I'd love this.
I never went to a nets game with true fans. My dad and brother are knicks fans. My friends don’t care about bball also. You can blame NBA Live 2003 for me liking the nets lol

I never followed the nets until 06-07 season.
I missed most of the heydays :(. VC was my fav player when I started watching though. I remember hearing lebron roomers and I was thinking “I don’t want lebron! I like Vince more!!” lol

I was embarrassed when D-Will got introduced in his first home game as a net. and soon Dwight Howard. Brooklyn can’t come fast enough but the players know we’re moving
lol i wasn't there
did he get a good reaction?

From Alex Kennedy's twitter
Source close to Dwight Howard on why he’s leaning away from the Los Angeles Lakers: “Kobe messed it up. That’s all I can say for now.”

Maybe said that Lakers were still going to be his team.
Probably came off too strong while at the same time Deron was saying you can be the face of Brooklyn Nets.

If Jordan Williams is out of shape, we need to get Petro on that diet!
Bottom line is I wanna see J-Will getting 20 mins/gm(minimum) as long as Lopez is out. He has a more fluid offensive game than any big we have right now. Plus he attacks the ball off the rim & attacks the basket when around it.
Shelden Williams takes WAY to much time to gather & shoot. He gets great passes while wide open & it’s like a race to see if he can get the shot up before getting fouled. D-Will gave him a great pass tonight & he brought the ball down to his knees to gather before going up & getting fouled of course. These are shots that Hump dunks consistently. In short, his offensive game is downright offensive!
The only thing I can say about Petro is he’s big for us. He’s listed at 7" I believe. He’s big for us.

We could use him about now but not anytime soon i suppose
Conor Orr: No idea when he’ll be back. "I took a pocket schedule to Timmy (Walsh, the trainer) and told him to point to a game,’’ Lopez said…
“He folded it up and put it in his pocket.’’

what happened to feb 10th?
i thought that was the target date and there hasn’t been setbacks
twolves fan sitting a couple rows ahead me
and love was at the line so i yelled out “hows it feel to have to spend 4 more years in minnesota?” and the guys like “better than playing on this team” so i shot back “talk to me in brooklyn” and then he turned around and shut up
It is killing Brook not playing. He looks miserable behind the bench.
I really got to get to some games soon. I am loud and proud of the team and show it at the games.

According to game recap
Nets C Brook Lopez, out all season with a broken right foot, said he has been jumping rope and running, and that he will soon work on his lateral movement.

he did look bored bigger too
"I define passion as extreme emotion."
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
How is anyone a Minnesota basketball fan, unless you are from Minnesota?
Do people just buy a jersey because of a player and jump on the bandwagon of that team? I know Kevin Love is a good player and Ricky Rubio can pass the ball, but, they are still a below .500 team.

Of course
You couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a Lakers fan in Queens when the Knicks were terrible. None of this surprises (or even bothers) me. Fans want to cheer for Rubio? Ok. Their money ends up in Net hands.
You can enjoy watching certain players and appreciate the way they play, BUT, pick a team and stay rooting for that team.

No one rooted for the Patriots pre-Brady. Now you seen “fans” everywhere.

you become a fan at some point for something
I’ve been a bandwagon Nets fan since VC joined Kidd. Never paid much attention to Nets much prior.
as long as you stick with the team, no one will give you crap
especially if you’re from the area. I too became a Nets fan when they got Kidd, but I was only 11 when it happened and had only known the Nets to be bad. I stuck with them though, and that’s all that matters.
this site used to have people
that were only nets fans because of vince carter. it happens.
OKC is bandwagon central
It’s pathetic. I relate have no respect for the bandwagon fan. Hell, to be honest, Durant is my favorite bball player. I love how he carries himself and re-upped in a small market. I wouldn’t tock his jersey because he isn’t a Net. Or anyone for that matter. Clown shoes, man.

a lot of sports fans work this way
I don’t get how you can justify to yourself, hoping on bandwagons with not a single thought. I like watching the T Wolves play, I hope they become a great team, but I wouldn’t become a fan and go to my local team’s games to cheer the bandwagon I just hopped on. that’s so lame
We don't NEED both
It would be nice though.

Morrow was unconscious tonight but the Nets didn’t have enough size inside to deal with the Wolves. DWill was forcing a lot of shots but he had to, Morrow and Farmar were pretty much the only guys scoring consistently. The turnover at the end was really disheartening after the work Morrow put in getting them back
by mytoemytoe on Feb 4, 2012 12:45 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Just got in......
Looks like DWILL didn’t show up on offense today and once again we let the other teams no name beat us…….Nice game by Morrow though…..?????
It’s not that simple that “we let the other team’s no names beat us”. They exploited their size advantage down low.

Why does he have a -6 in the Boxscore…??
Do we go after Gerald Wallace during 2012-2013 free agency??? he's Unrestricted and planing to opt out.

Wallace

One thing at a time
Nothing is going to happen until he is definitly here or elsewhere. I don’t care about the new developments with Howard. Nothing is certain. I’ll believe it when I see him in those ugly red uni’s.

Arena was awesome tonight, I thought. Exploded with every Anthony Morrow three and I lost my voice after that Morrow four-point play. Deron had some fun with the crowd, smiling and winking at a few courtside ticket holders, and I don’t think you’d see it on TV but Morrow was just more pumped than anyone else, howling on defense after each made three. Just a great energy. Only my second time at Prudential, so I don’t know if that’s rare.
Think the Wolves fans came from Rubio’s being Spanish and Wes Johnson coming from Syracuse.
Yeah those games are rare.
Sounds like the crowd from the Phoenix game last year where Morrow came up clutch and we lost too.
Got swags autograph today!
He also told me hes fine and he’ll be back soon!
Did anyone see this?

The other four dates are: Feb. 11 vs. the San Antonio Spur; Feb. 15 vs. the Memphis Girzzlies; Feb. 22 vs. the Orlando Magic, and March 7 vs. the L.A. Clippers.

I was there and the atmosphere was great.
People were leaving when we were down 5 with 25 secs left and I yelled to them “ITS NOT OVER,” WHERE YA’LL GOING?. BOOM! Morrow hits a 3 and gets fouled. Deron let us down this time with those 2 turnovers. Oh well! Time to kick some knick moiso.

Pekovic average 7 ppg.
Tonight… almost 30 ppg.
Can you say coaching….
FIRE AVERY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avery can play Center?
We are short our starting center and the guy we got to replace him. Our options at center are a journeyman better suited for power forward, a rookie in the D-League a week ago, and Petro. I don’t know if you noticed but they also had to handle this guy Kevin Love who I hear is pretty good. Seriously, get real. Do you really believe that this roster is under achieving under Johnson?
by SovietBrooklyn on Feb 4, 2012 3:36 AM EST up reply actions 1 recs
No, I believe there has been better squeezing blood from stone lately.
But the key to coaching successfully in any sport, at any level, is seeing the obvious and making adjustments.
Avery fell back on some terrible old ways again when he failed to do so last night.
I hope you're joking.

This is from a T-wolves fan on a previous thread
Wolves fan here
FYI: Rubio is a great defender. If there is one thing that I would like fans of other teams to know, it is this.
He’ll be put on DWill I’m guessing, and whoever Ridnour takes (Rid is currently our 2) will probably have abig night.
Happy gaming
When can i get my Dwight Howard Brooklyn Nets Jersey?
nan he's tradeable
he’s a good role player, we have too many of those on this team
this was my thinking aswell.
He can stay. When Nets get Dwight; Morrow is going to have a great time on the court,
