Nets Can't Stop Jeremy Lin, Fall to Knicks at the Garden

PrintThe Nets kept both Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire in check at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, but they couldn't stop Jeremy Lin. The back-up point guard went off for a career-high 25 points, leading the Knicks to a 99-92 victory, their fifth straight against the Nets.
The Nets started out hot and led by 12 late in the first quarter. But Lin led a Knicks' comeback in the second, and the Nets lead was just two at the half. The second half was tight throughout, but a 9-2 run put the Knicks up seven with less than four minutes to go and Lin put the game away with countless drives through the Nets' defense.
At game's end, Knick fans chanted, "Jeremy" and the 6'3" Harvard grad was hugged by his teammates
"Our game plan was to help off him and he just started knocking down shots and got confidence and he was relentless taking it to the basket,” said Deron Williams.
The Nets shot just 42 percent from the floor and got outrebounded 48-39. Deron Williams led them with 21 points and 11 assists, but had another poor shooting night. Kris Humprhies finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds, Jordan Farmar added 19 points off the bench, and Jordan Williams scored a career-high 10 points in 26 minutes.

this is the season of the backups
shortened season – marginal or better than average NBA talent gets some burn.
Last pre-season Lin showed he should be starting
Or at least getting some playing time. It unfortunate that the knicks discovered his talents. The nets seen him first hand and never made a move.
Putting up points and showing your talented are two different things.

Pekovic happened because
(and Tyson Chandler too) we have third string centers playing, and they are starting to wear down over this condensed schedule. Sheldon cannot take this grind, and it’s not his fault. He is what he is, but this is only going to get worse with Okur and Lopez out.

chandler has been the only knock who has been consistently good thus season. I wouldn’t fault your lack of a center for his production. Lin tho…wow. d-will couldn’t guard him…and even more surprising, Lin stuck with him on defense and contested every shot. asides from getting crossed once lol

a very underrated player
beasted people in HS, no one recruited him…beasted people at Harvard, went undrafted…finally got some shine when he took it to John Wall in the rookie camps.
fan boy?
give the guy credit for knowing a little about him.
Lin lead his HS team to one loss. I think something like 40-1.
Then almost upset wall and uconn while playing very well there.
then going tit for tat against wall in the YouTube famous summer league game.
and now taking it to D-will…a top 2-3 pg.
you don’t have to be a fan boy to know this.

Count me in
Cant stand the knicks or their fans…I watched them on TNT (or ESPN) last night and realized something I probably should have noticed before…MSG pumps the volume of their crowd into the audi of their feed….Wasnt half as loud last night.
Cue a good deal of nonsense on here calling D-Will a “loser point guard” and “trade Deron.” I thought we learned from last time.
Well...
If your alleged “superstar” is outplayed by Jeremy Lin, what do you expect.
I said it before and I will say it again. Deron Williams is NOT a superstar. A good player, nothing more.

smh
Terrible in game adjustments with Lin.
Pressure him in the backcourt, go behind the screen vs him, don’t defend him up close.
Also, D-Will looked fatigued
Somebody explain to me
Why we were playing Jeremy Lin of all people chest to chest knowing that 1) he can’t shoot but can drive and proved both of those things and 2) we have no interior defensive presence along the back line? Time and time again, no matter how often it seemed as if the Nets should have learned to sag off Lin and give him the jumper, it was like, no, we were desperate not to give him a three point look, and we just had to let him drive past us at all costs. More to the point, Deron, why the heck were you so desperate not to make Lin a jump shooter?!!? It’s inconceivable. I’m speechless.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
DWill let Lin shoot at some point
He bricked maybe 3 straight outside shots but he made his next 2 ones, and continued with the dribble drive. Chandler also set nice picks and we couldn’t defend the pick and roll, or the pick and drive.
With a Lin pick and roll, you go under the pick!
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
If you go under a pick and your guy still makes it effortlessly to hoop, it is your fault.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
He split the defense twice down the stretch
The big tried to step out while Lin cut in between and stepped in. There is no reason for the big to step out there. All a guy like Humphries should do is widen his stance and stay back allowing a jump shot if the guy wants it. I don’t think our scheme was really taking Lin into account. They also didn’t want to go as far to trap Lin on the pick and roll.

Nets, DWill dominated by Jeremy Lin
I can’t express how angry I am with this game. The season might as well have ended.
Maybe now DWill will start taking some heat for his terrible play this season.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Does Petro take his shots for him?
Does Morrow pass for him?
He needs to start taking responsibility for our awfulness.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Apparently, I’m pegged as one of the Deron Williams “haters” around here, but I’ll say this: he’s owned up to it. He’s admitted to playing poorly.
As long as he picks up his efficiency when Howard is on the team, I’ll be okay.
I don't see how Deron can pick up his efficiency if Nets gut the team trading for Dwight

To be successful, apparently Avery's Defense System requires it to be manned by NBA All-Defensive Team.
Whatever chance Deron had at making the all-star team
Just went down the drain after he got his tail bussed

The Nets kept both Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin in check
Also… you should probably fix this.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Lin has always been able to get into the lane
The nets just don’t have a defensive big to clog the paint and alter his shots. What else can you say?
Petro
petro did play this game! if anyone’s to blame its him! he always gets his daily turnover
DWill was fine.
He played better than last night. Lets face it that was probably a once in a lifetime game from Lin.
He had fresh legs on a night when everyone else was fatigued.
Morrow was relatively invisible. Not much of a supporting cast tonight. Dwill, Jwill, Hump and Farmar had good games.
I typed your symptoms into this thing up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems.
Yes. I understand DWill was tired. I understand Lin was fresh.
But DWill has been underperforming since putting on a Nets uniform. I’m tired of it.
If he needs to sit for a month to get healthy? Fine. But this kind of play is unacceptable for a soon to be max player.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Did you forget the Sixers game? Suns game? Wizards game? 2nd Hawks game? Pacers game? Bobcats game? Raptors game?
Seriously dude, that is a knee-jerk reaction if I ever saw one.
by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 4, 2012 10:18 PM EST up reply actions
Knee-jerk? Have you looked at his TS% since he became a Net? Have you looked at this TOV%?
They are both below and above his career averages.
It’s time he starts taking responsibility for the Nets mediocrity instead of waiting for Howard to come and save him.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Umm, LOOK AT WHO HE IS PLAYING WITH!
Do you think he’s used to having the ball in his hands all game long playing 39-40 minutes a night? Do you think he’s used to being doubled every game? Do you think he’s used to having Sheldon Williams to run the P&R with every game and watch every one of his passes get bobbled by his big men. He completely put us on his back in some games this year (some of which are mentioned above). He hasn’t been playing outstanding, but he’s doing great with what he has around him IMO.

Stop making excuses for him
He’s always had the ball in hand. That’s his job. If it’s too difficult for him, then he should consider taking up a different profession.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Chris Paul had crappy teammates in NOLA
& he was still the best PG in the league.
And if not, I turn around & say forget it.

ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
Deron and Farmar
There were plays where the hump and J-Will were wide open and both point guards decided to just dribble and shoot. D-will needs to start trusting his players or just atleast give a shot. Fast breaks J-Will running no pass but just one time, same with hump.

But it was one play.

The Nets lack of talent down low is making no-name guards look a whole lot better
Logic: Nets current centers are not very smart. Teams have found a sure-fire way to score on the Nets when their jumpers aren’t falling. Drive hard to the hoop and let the Nets big-men try to make the right call. Lin found Chandler and others open early when he drove and the light-switch went on. Nets response was to hope their perimeter players can keep opposing guard(s) from getting into the lane which DWill couldn’t do and u know Morrow will never be able to do. So instead of Nets big men coming in to help, they had to choose to either stick with their guy and box out or help out DWill or whoever was guarding Lin. Nets Big Men chose not to help in that 4th quarter cuz Lin was burning them every time they did help. Lin’s big game was more about the Nets lack of talent…no news there, but it’s really the lack of talent down low. Brook will help our Defense believe it or not.

He blew by him plenty of time when there was no pick set.
I expect more from DWill and you guys should too.
Yeah, but you have to account for the number of times that D-Will ran into a high pick and the interior D just wasn't there.
Your best argument is that he should’ve gone under the picks, but even then, Lin still probably would’ve gotten a number of those free trips to the basket.
It is more than just Deron on the perimeter.
The man of the guy setting the pick must be in the correct position with regard to the ballhandler’s strengths to allow time for further rotations in the paint which are last line anyway. Also guys from the side have to help when a team is shooting as bad like the Knicks. It really is a collective break down
Happy to see Billy King graduated in an accelerated "how to make a trade" class in just one night :)
when it comes to one on one isolaitons
most driving guards can get by almost anyone guarding them, that’s just the way it is. that’s why you have help defense, unless you’re the Nets.
another win nets let slip away
knicks players and fans laughing at us as lin dominates a supposed “top 3 pg” nets complete lack of any interior presence was once again a downfall, even with amare being in foul trouble throughout the game

Guys, Lin torching us definitely hurt big time
But just remember, we hung with the Knicks with basically our JV team out there. Once Lopez and Marshon come back, this is a whole new animal. Our team is built on needing a post presence to get our shooters open shots. And also, it seems there is still a good chance we get a nice Christmas present about 3 months late in mid-March.
by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 4, 2012 10:16 PM EST reply actions
And Morrow wasn't a factor
But the way the Knicks got the win — with Jeremy Lin — does hurt.
What’s funny is if they didn’t have Lin, the all-powerful Knicks would’ve lost to our injury-depleted team.
Anyone who watched the game not in rage
would know that Lin didn’t outplay Deron. He played regular, fundamental basketball and we couldn’t stop their high picks and basic plays. No interior D + Lin likes to drive = Lin buckets. Yeah Deron coulda done a better job but when your playing 40+ minutes a game 3 out of the last 4 nights, your gonna get tired eventually.

offense is not a big problem with the nets.
defense is. That where dwight helps….big time.
we need him desperately.
"Beware the Ides of March."
Lin's game was a fluke against a defense that's lacking the talent down low...as for Pecovic...
…Nikola is a legit young big man. Guy is unmovable. Look at his game log…he’s rebounding and scoring. Believe me, we’d be a whole lot better with a big man like him. He’s a poor man’s Marc Gasol.
he's a big dood
when he looked at Sheldon and Hump…he must’ve been licking his chops. I love hump but he can’t be superman. We’ll know who superman really is soon enough.
Lin is nice
he wont have games like this, but he deserves to get minutes in the NBA. Always been overlooked his whole life
At Harvard
And he wasn’t recruited at all out of HS or college.
Overlooked is probably a good word for him..

not sure why...
nets win oh d.will is good. we lose, oh he’s bad.
we will lose games with this roster and maybe lose a little less if we defend. this whole roster is a placeholder. TEN expiring contracts. either we get dwight/players like that, and become that type of team…or we lose him, and draft high, and put a very young team out there next year.
either way: much of this roster isn’t gonna be here by november…perhaps by march 15. so, it’s nothing to get worked up about.
i know it sucks at that moment. but it’s not like this is the brooklyn team.
Some good news, on Dwight
Kobe tells Dwight that he’ll be the Lakers’ 3rd option
Yeah, great idea Kobe. Tell the guy that could rescue the last years of your career to play 3rd fiddle to and again Pau Gasol. It’s only a matter of time now, Dwight will be a Net
It's a bad loss, but I don't blame DWill for it.
I think it’s on the coach for not finding a way to get scoring when DWill’s not out there, and then overplaying DWill the entire game and not letting him get some needed rest for the stretch.
Oh, and having him play shooting guard at any point. Farmar and Gaines have already proven they can’t run the team.
Honestly its hard to get scoring when
We don’t have any scorers tho there all injured. They played Morrow well becasue of what happened last night.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
that's like trying to make a hamburger with just two slices of bread and no meat.
Coach can design plays but if the guard like Farmar dribbles it too much cuz the other guys aren’t getting separation…coach can’t do much.
Farmar shouldn't be running the offense.
Neither should Gaines. Have Bogans or somebody do it if you need to. I really don’t care.
Gaines or Bogans?
See thats our problem right there in a nutshell injuries.

I hope that you guys realized that the knicks basicly ran the same play over and over again
it happens every single game
it just looks worse because today it was lin a PG which just happens to be dwill’s position.
that pick n roll has been killing us all season, guys are not picking up the right guys and sometime two of our guys pick up one of theirs leaving the lane open.
there is something wrong structurally with this defence
We don’t have the best players but that’s why we need to take care of the fundamentals of basketball more than anything. We need effort and execution together.
by the way deron can’t be chasing the guy around after he gets picked…he will get tired as the game goes on

Because a team with half the team injured?
The reason this team is set up is for Dwight and to make it to the trade deadline.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
trade
deron for jeremy lin and hey maybe we should’ve given chandler 100,000,000 to play for us
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
So OK, game 1 of the season to the Knicks
By the 20th this month, Avery would’ve figured out a grand plan to stop Lin in game 2.
went to the game
I’d be in such a bad mood if i wasn’t headed to a party. Totally demoralizing when you lose because of the other team’s scrubs. If melo and amare beat us, so be it. But Jeremy Lin?
Oh, and we have Derrick rose on Monday. Nothing says ‘35 Years of Nets Basketball’ like breaking out sweet new throwbacks in a loss. Dwight can’t come soon enough.

To be honest Id much rather have Jeremy Lin beat us than Melo or amare. If Melo scored 37 I would’ve vomited. With Lin, I actually stood & applauded the young dude at tge conclusion.

We Can NOT blame this on deron.
This guy plays for like 46 min every game , and the entire offense is basically on him. And this was what, his 4th in 5 days? Everybody else on the team was either injured during this stretch or is simply terrible (minus, maybe, farmar). Give the man a break
So Lin had a good game. It happens. maybe if Shawne Williams actually hit the rim on his shots instead of consistently airballing like a fool we would’ve won this game.
Don't bother. LOL.

But i’m just tired of the all the excuses people make for this team…. especially DWill.
This game was there to be won.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
for both teams
our weaknesses cost us the game.
Right
But it’s hard for me to blame Shelden Williams for being Shelden Williams.
I can, however, blame DWill for playing like a bad backup point guard this year.
You know what his WP48 is this year? 0.027. He hasn’t played that poorly since his rookie year.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I'm not going to completely dismiss advanced stats, but the eye test is just as important to me
He led his team to a win in Philly against a great team, he went off in Phoenix for 34 points, he played great against GSW, he almost led us all the way back in Indy, he played good on opening night, he put us on his back and dismantled the Raptors, he played solid against CHA, he was very good against DET, and was great against CLE the second time around. No other superstar in this league has to carry as much of the offense as Dwill does. How Dwill goes, the Nets go. Saying he’s playing like a “bad backup PG” is absolutely comical!
by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 4, 2012 10:41 PM EST up reply actions
Context is always important when you're talking about stats.
But it’s not like DWill is a backup point stretched as a starter and can’t handle the minutes, the competiton, etc.
He’s an all-star point used to constantly having the ball in his hands.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Morrow just stands around watching Lin makes layups
Morrow provided no help. When they pick deron, someone else needs to step up. The help defense was loathsome. Morrow doesn’t even look like he’s trying on D.
That being said. Way closer than I would have guessed. Bottom line was all the stars were stopped. Lin did a good job limiting deron as well. Hump outplayed Amare.

Knicks blog going crazy!!! lol They think they have the next PG phenom
From a Knicks fan-
Personally, I don’t think this is a fluke. Lin plays a lot like John Wall, and people always have a hard time sticking to him. Especially if he’s able to develop a jumper. Hit the gym Jeremy!
Marshon VS Iman: Bring the rivalry on my nuiikkkass!!!
whoa with the jeremy wall
but he does look like he has a little jj barea in him
Huck Farvard
This was really tough to watch…I can’t believe that nobody gave a hard foul on Lin to keep him from driving up on in. He was the only one on their side that had ANY pep. He couldn’t hit an outside shot. Hump played superbly, and Jordan Williams was a bit of a surprise, but Sheldon and Petro were a joke. What was that phantom pass late in the game, to the Knicks guard? Spitting angry.
Some positives to take away from this loss
Forget Jeremy Lin, it was a fluke. Deron was pretty beat tonight, you could see it.
1) Jordan Williams – he has potential to be the backup PF off the bench; some rookie mistakes but a lot of positives; great body control and surprisingly effective offensive game
2) Jordan Farmar – has taken over when needed with Brooks and Lopez down; for those who don’t think Farmar is worth his contract or is not a good enough backup PG, get over it, you’re wrong.
3) Kris Humphries – absolute beast; so happy all PFs went down so the Nets could see what they had in him

He was a great PG in college and this is his second year with limited playing time. Every time he gets sent down to the D-League, he sets it on fire (like J-will and Horner have been doing). He’s going to be a Farmar type bench PG in this league.

Knicks are a healthy team who just barely got away from a Nets team who is w/o two of their best scorers.
Along with only about 10 players available. Yea the end was not pretty, but the Nets hung in there until the end where the size of the Knicks was too much for Nets undersized big men.
I'm going to make a comment here about Petro as well
this piece of garbage can’t come out and play ONE GOD DAM MINUTE without committing a careless turnover that resulted in points for the Knicks.

we were up with at a crucial stretch in the 3rd quarter. Jordan Williams who had a couple of nice plays got into some foul trouble. Petro came in., game was tied when Petro checked out, and we never really recovered.. Yes, he should not play any minutes and or be traded soon.
all i could do was laugh when that happened
as soon he checks in, I just mark us down 5-8 points until we can get him back on the bench again
Lin is so stupid. he could make much much more money out of his job right now rather than playing for that crap.
anyone want to guarantee Lin has another game like that the rest of the season against another team?
didn’t think so.
maybe not a game like this but
he’s going to be a solid role player

Hmm, Chris Dudley maybe
Ivies got drafted much more many years ago. It’s nice to see Lin do well, but rooting for a guy on the Knicks (ugh) and from Harvard (argh) is hard. I’d mind less if he was helping the Knicks win games, esp against us.
You can make more as an NBA player than as an economist
Most 22-23 year olds are still trying to find a job, Harvard degree or not
By the way, Petro only played 3 minutes
but in that span he made an AWFUL turnover. Like he was not even trying. He is not an NBA player, period.
I think it's fine.
up 5 before he came in, tied when he left
.. and momentum shifted.. did have a couple of nice passes that didnt convert around the rim.. one to jordan williams and 1 to morrow.. petro made 2 defensive stops, but that tunrover was something else..
If we had Brooks at least we probably win
Just another guy to create, thats why there were so many 24 second violations. Bogans isn’t going to give you much especially now, they obviously took Morrow out the game becasue of last night.

Net fans should focus on the positive here from this game. Williams has more potential than I think we all expected. If he can get it together off the court and get into better shape, he’s the Nets backup PF moving forward.
I’d like to see (not fully taking cap into account):
Deron Williams/Jordan Farmar
Marshon Brooks/Anthony Morrow/Keith Bogans
Andrei Kirilenko/Damion James/Shawne Williams
Kris Humphries/Jordan Williams

ANY fans would cheer for a new, young guy who’s been playing unexpectedly well – and having a career game. Melo is in HELL right now, and New York fans are furious that Denver is playing so well.
To all...
Lay off Avery, He is doing the best that he can with what he has, I clearly see it wearing on him, drawing up plays, and these boobs fail to execute, Please, no more Petro, and with the exception of Swag, and D Will, the rest of these guys can go, and 1 more with a little more coaching on the intangibles, I would keep J Whizz too..
why do i keep seeing the word boobs in this thread

I only give DWill a pass cuz of it being the 4th game in 5 nights
I think if he’s on his game…he’d be more effective on the offense against lin. Looked to me that Deron’s moves weren’t crisp and it was likely due to tired legs. If Deron has his legs and is playing right on offense…i’m thinking Lin isn’t in the game as much as he was. Shumpert likely gets the assignment all night on DWill. And i don’t know that Shumpert has the IQ to do what Lin did on the offensive side of the ball for the Knicks.
Avery has done a great job so far
this team could easily have 3 wins.

With a limited roster as well
Not excuses just reality, we will never be consistent with this squad.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
The point about a limited roster is key
because we have third and second stringers playing abnormally high mins at a condensed rate, and it will eventually begin to pile up and take its toll on guys who are not used to such heavy lifting.
2011-2012 season prediction: 22-44
And I'm fine with that. One of the original leaders of the "Dwight Howard, not Nono Hilario" movement.
agreed
in the third quarter it felt like neither team deserved to win the game. The difference was Jeremy Lin did deserve the win.
Avery hasn't taken advantage of DWill's size against smaller guards
especially recently against the Wolves and Lins, I mean Knicks.
It’s all about Farmar pounding the ball and finding DWill off curls
just couldnt resist, had to sneak him in at the end of the third
game was going fine then he comes in and tips in a defensive rebound to his own hoop, throws a blind over the shoulder pass to Carmelo and infects the rest of the bigs with even more atrocious pick and roll defense
4-16 with him 4-1 without him. when will they learn?

This will not end well.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
me and my friend were watching him
and we were up 5 when he came it.. it was tied when he left and we completely lost the momentum. Hump and Jordan got into foul trouble.. argh.. why Petro, why..!
yea him and his smirking
he didn’t do jack! what a lazy freakin superstar. let Jeremy Lin carry the team. Melo was like any old rotation player tonight. completely irrelevant. he was practically Taj Gibson for the Knicks tonight.
god I really hate that guy.
The Knicks doubled the Nets output in points in the paint.. lack of an interior presence.
So is that Deron Williams fault?.. or could it have something to do with the fact that our low post guy Dwig… i mean Brook Lopez is out?
Did we not hold their Big 3 in check and force their scrubs to beat us? Damn i forgot that Jared Jeffries and Jeremy Lin were superstars. Why the heck didnt the Nets have them on the scouting report SMH

Deron isn't J Kidd. Deal with it.
But he still is one of the best points in the league. This is an abysmal team away from him. Besides hump, it questionable whether any of the guys he is playing with should be in the NBA. Shawne, Sheldon, and morrow. They can’t create anything. Folks who moan every time he doesn’t score 30 points with 15 assists in 40+ minutes are nuts. We are overachieving to have the record we have right now.
Give deron a real team before you blast him. Even Kidd had Kenyon and Jefferson who could jump over people. Hump is our only guy like that.

Chicago

Milwaukee
New York
Orlando
Dallas
Boston
We could be in a big hole very quickly if we don’t start finding a way to beat the Timberwolves and Knicks of the world.
prolly look at me like i have cross-eyes...not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)
but Nets should be in every one of those games except for the Chicago, Orlando, Indiana, Memphis and Boston games.
The Nets get beaten by another No Name.........
Just like i said the other day……
You guys are expecting too much out of D-Will man o man. 21 and 11 with three turnovers isn’t bad at all. This no name player finally got some big minutes and took full advantage of it. NONE of us saw this coming including the Nets obviously. Sheesh the reactions y’all give to D-Will you’ll swear the guy was scoring 4 ppg smh.

I like that the media seems to think we get DH via trade but
If we can keep Brooks on his rookie contract after signing DH in the offseason, I’m more in favor of this. We’ll need pieces and we can get some affordable ones back by trading Lopez somewhere else and then attaching those pieces to the DH12-Dwill tandem
i dont see how orlando keeps dwight for the rest of the season.
Yes it’s our preference to sign him in the offseason, but Orlando doesn’t care about the Nets’s preferences. They’ll eventually trade him after the all star game.
ND, couldn't repost my comment but whatever
I’ll get over it. Eventually, I’m going to write a FanPost.
Here it is
1) Deron needs to opt-out first and stated this past week that’s even considering using his player option, so that situation is still fluid.
2) Deron has stated multiple times that unless you hear it out of his mouth, don’t believe stuff being written about him. See: Ken Berger video. If you can show me his list from one unsubstantiated random report, please show me.
3) Dallas is still a long-shot target for Deron AND Dwight. Dirk is already maxed out and they’re going to have to shell out a lot of cash for both of those players. How do you fill out that team? Dirk is clearly over the hill and peaked last season. Both sides know they’re better off opening up Brooklyn in a major market.
4) The reason why things have never happened for the Nets in the past was poor ownership and no $$. Now, they have Prokhorov, a superstar in Deron Williams who is willing to recruit and a very savvy GM in Billy King. The Nets had a deal in place for Howard that was only blocked by their terrible ownership. Dwight was so convinced he was a Net that he told his teammate a day before that he was going to the Nets.
Let’s get something straight, this is not the summer of 2010. Brooklyn is a reality now. The Nets have their superstar in place – Deron Williams. The future is clear and Dwight Howard understands that. It’s not blind optimism as almost all major reporters have now stated within the past two weeks that the likely scenario for Howard is the Nets AND that he won’t sign a long-term deal with the Lakers (their only competition).
So, there’s overwhelming evidence to show that the situation is in the Nets favor moving closer to the deadline. I’m going to sit back and relax and enjoy the show and not overreact to a petty regular season loss to the Knicks. Think big picture.

I'm almost sure Dwight will be a Net, but I'm still nervous and concerned
if we will get him via trade or free agency… and if via trade we can avoid MarShon not being included…
And knowing that, of course we get upset for the losses because if Dwight comes via free agency we can make a playoff run, and these almost wins we had the last couple of games ceartainly would help the cause.
And tonight we just lost to our rival not only historically and geografically but rival for the possible battling for the 8th seed, so its understanble to get a little pissed.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
I don't think Marshon is going anywhere
The original offer was a three team deal, and I’m certain BK can find another team to make this happen. Gerald Wallace has been playing well this season, certainly a type of player Orlando would want to have. Hey, I hope the Nets take him if Portland is willing to dump him still.

Pretty crazy to think about the schedule for the near future after these LONG past several months.
We’ve been waiting for Brooklyn for years, we’ve been anticipating Dwight since shortly after Deron arrived (after having experienced the Melo situation), and we were anticipating the NBA season’s arrival through that dreadful lockout.
1) We have NBA basketball. That is something that looked impossible after the NBPA de-certified.
2) Brooklyn logo is scheduled to be unveiled some time in the next two weeks. “February” felt like a long time away. Along with this, the first events at Barclays are less than eight months away.
3) We learn, at the very least, a LOT about Dwight’s future in less than a month. Not much we can expect to postpone this after all the past false alarms (with first Melo and now Dwight).

the Nets lost and if Lin is the real thing, the Chinese population of the city (and China) will gravitate to the Knicks, not the global vision of the Nets.

I don't know how many times on this site I've written about how fans need to understand that sports is business first and foremost
NI is right. There’s a reason that Yormark stayed and Thorn left when Prokhorov took over.

I think I said "IF"
in fact, I know I did.

He's right
Look how many fan’s flocked to the Yanks when they had Wang. There are thousands of yanks fans in Taiwan now even after they cut him lose
wang almost won 20 games, and had multiple good years, this guy had one great game

it's about marketing
and a Chinese American from Harvard making his way in Manhattan? Are you kidding me? it’s a God-send for them.

Yeah, I saw Chinese language posters for the Nets with Yi on them a few years ago in Chinatown
Didn’t work out I guess. lol
Are you kidding? It did wonders for the Nets
Games were broadcast over CCTV, they signed a deal with Peak (Chinese sports apparel company). They continued their global expansion. If Yi played marginally well for the Nets, it would’ve made an even bigger impact.

i didn't think about it that way
lets hope if he turns out to be a dcent player he’ll play for another team
Nets ownership does.

I agree with Net Income
I’m a Taiwanese American and I can not even begin to tell you how many facebook posts popped out on his big game. Trust me - they WILL flock to him. I’m a Nets fan and was rooting for the Nets to pull off the win, but I’m proud of JLin, he’s knocking down stereotypes
by anothernetsfan on Feb 5, 2012 2:00 AM EST up reply actions
China will block out Jlin because he's Taiwanese decent
No need to worry about the Chinese Market
Exactly. I think everyone is missing this point.
You cannot group Chinese and Taiwanese together when it comes to nationality. Inside the US it may not matter as much but outside the US and for fobs (lack of a better term) we are not the same.

I honestly don't see the population in China gravitating to the Knocks because of Lin
He is Taiwanese. There is still a giant distance between the two countries in terms of national pride. True we are all technically Chinese, but it’s very unlikely for them to support a Taiwanese player.
However, for Chinese/Taiwanese Americans it will be a different story.

yeah but the American impact doesnt come close to the Chinese impact
if Lin was from the mainland he’d be a goldmine to market off of. But China will just block all media outlets/IP addresses to prevent promoting him

I agree but I do think it's a bit premature
I’m still convinced this game is a fluke and his impact will not nearly be as far reaching as that. Remember, when the Nets had Yi Jianlian, he was the fourth most popular sports/entertainment figure in the country per Forbes, just behind Jackie Chan and Yao Ming.
Lin would also play for Taiwan, not China correct?

My question is $$
How much $$ less will he take to become a Net? He has a massive overseas contract and already uprooted his family. His asking price must’ve been high enough for the Nets to stop continuing his pursuit and grab Memo Okur instead, no?
by ZR on Feb 5, 2012 8:54 AM EST up reply actions
there are more Chinese in Brooklyn
than Russians, about 2 to 1.

and growing rapidly too, mostly leaving the higher prices in Manhattan
That community can be a goldmine if the Nets play their cards right.
I get the logic. It's simply numbers. But, with that many Russians, I'm not concerned whether or not the Nets can fill barclays or sell merchandise to them.
But both the Chinese and Russian majority in the NYC would be great, from a business standpoint.
Signs that Nets are in a streak of bad luck
1. Almost completed a Howard trade, Brook broke his foot
2. Bynum, for all his “knee” issue, is not getting injured (im not wishing he should be) is an All Star, get that? An All Star!
3. Our best rookie broke his toe.
4. Half of the team is injured.
5. And this list will go on… and guess what will happen next??
Deron Williams, All Star
I think we should be grateful more than anything.
1) Losing out on Melo is one of the biggest blessings this franchise has ever experienced. Doubt we’d even be talking Dwight if we got Melo instead of Deron.
2) Without that terrible ‘09-’10 season, who knows if Prokhorov ever sees us, and who knows if the Brooklyn move is still funded?
I don't think having D-will
Is bad luck having him and D12 orchestrate a tandem in Bk is bad luck we should be grateful for the position where in, the biggest person we should be grateful for is Proky I mean were moving to BK next year thats trumps all.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
I'm ready for Howard idc about these other games

Then
DWill is gone and the Nets have to start over
by Guess Who's Back? on Feb 5, 2012 12:26 AM EST up reply actions
Well
He’s a great player, but he needs more talent around him. With Howard and DWill the Nets are a bonified playoff team, with only DWill, well you get the point
by Guess Who's Back? on Feb 5, 2012 12:33 AM EST up reply actions
My logic is the only other place I would think Dwight can get traded is L.A., and they obviously can't sign Deron as well, so we then probably become his best option.
Brooks, Morrow, Lopez, Farmar, Bogdanovic, J-Will, 1-2 2012 first-rounders.
Lol I was talking about what we have to offer D-Will as a reason for him to stay.
by OTRWaldo on Feb 5, 2012 12:44 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
For Dwight Howard and Turk? And who else
by Guess Who's Back? on Feb 5, 2012 12:44 AM EST up reply actions
I’m saying if we don’t get Dwight, that’s the talent we have around Deron to convince him to stay.
by OTRWaldo on Feb 5, 2012 12:45 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
the way mavs looking right now i doubt he would want to sign there
i think he will ask for a trade to NYK for Melo. Thats what most peaple say but i think he would rather stay and we still can sign all star type player or make a big time trade to get some players d will would love to play with. we have assets for that as well, i think d will likes it here in NY a lot

Scrubfest
Ugly basketball—it was like two journeyman fighters staggering around in the late rounds. The only one who had legs was Lin. But losing this game is a good thing. It was always clear with the one year contracts for marginal talents that we weren’t going to be a competitive team this year. So as much as losing to the nix is a drag, let them think for a game that they aren’t broken, let us get a better draft choice or a more appealing asset for Dwight. Both teams stink, but we have a promising future and they don’t.
49-17
Nets for life!!!!!
They’re gonna have games like this. Yeah it pisses me off that they lost but we were in it. We lost to a supposed dream team with melo, amare and tc. Lin did his thing. We should have got blown out but we didn’t. We short our starting center, small forward and star rookie guard. Relax everybody we are ok. Deron didn’t shoot well on top of all that and we still lost by much less than we should have. All in all, win or lose I’m a NET for LIFE!!!!!!

A game like this
Shoupld be more than enough to convince Dwight and Dwilll not to take max deals in order to form a championship team
A nice draft.....
We saw a pretty decent rookie game from JWill last night. He looked better last night, than Favors looked when he played for us. Maybe JWill pans out, and he becomes a contributor. Not bad for a late draft pick. With JWill and MarShon, and Boggy, I think we had a pretty good draft. It’s too bad that we have had so many injuries this year. If we had all our players, I think at the quarter season mark, we might have been playing 500 ball. I’m a Brooklyn NETS fan, and can’t wait to fly up north next year to see a game or two. GO NETS!

Jordan Williams
should watch some tapes of how Kris Humphries plays the pick and role on defense. His hedges arent going to cut it. Led to some easy buckets last night.
by Clayton Balch on Feb 5, 2012 8:29 AM EST via Android app reply actions
then who should hump watch? because he played it poor too
constantly letting Lin slip through at the 3 point line instead of sagging back and giving him the jumpers he constantly bricked earlier in the game

There are NO EXCUSES
for this lose. We did a great job on Melo and Amare but let this kid beat us. I would accept lobs to CHandler all night but to let this kid take over the game come on.
Avery SUCKS. Avery should have SIC’d Gaines on the kid. Hump or SheWill hit the kid hard when he comes into the lane. WHy was there no more plays for SHaWill in the corners. SMH!!!!
SMFH!!!!!!!!
That said things I liked about this game
1) Once Stevenson gets heatlhy, we will have two players that can defend SG/SF. I loved what Bogans was doing to Melo fustrated the hell out of him Bowens style.
2) Jordan Williams needs more practice witth Dwill
3) Shawn Will is getting his shot back

Shawne Williams big buckets were corner threes in MSG
Something he did all last season, let’s see him do it more consistently away from MSG. Still a poor investment IMO until proven otherwise.

Am i the only one who isnt that impressed with lin?
doubt he can be that effective consistently
Jersey Strong, Brooklyn Ready
the nets team defense(especially in the frontcourt) is atrocious
doubt he plays like this even the next game. gonna start playing fantasy players against NJ, they have inflated everyones totals so far this season

Foul him Hard......
When you have a scrub player killing you by driving to the basket at will you must hard foul him a couple of times to keep him out of there…….That’s what flagrant fouls and bench players are for…….
