The Nets, who couldn't stop Jeremy Lin on Saturday, face a somewhat better point guard in Derrick Rose on Monday when the Bulls come to Newark for their only appearance in New Jersey this season. The reigning MVP is averaging 23.6 points, 8.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds and will be the starting point guard on the East All-Stars.
The Bulls position atop the East and in the power rankings has been achieved without a soft schedule. Chicago in fact has played one more road game than the Nets and are 11-5 away from United Center. And if Rose wasn't enough, the Bulls front court of Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng are all playing well. Richard Hamilton (thigh) is out.
For the Nets, it will be the first of four games in six days, three of them at home. After Saturday's game vs. San Antonio, the team will have three whole days off. Anthony Morrow will join the inactive rolls Monday to attend his grandmother's funeral. Keith Bogans, who started 98 games for the Bulls last season, will replace him at SG. The Nets announced that none of the injured Nets will be back this week. Only nine players will be in uniform Monday. Speaking of uniforms, those nine will dress in their retro "New York Nets" uniforms vs. Chicago.

Bondy absolutely stinks as a Nets writer. You can tell he can care less about this team and makes it obvious. How do you make a mistake like that??
Cant stand his writing.
editors do headlines, not writers
we know what they mean, but this isnt the first time this has happened recently, and not just with the Daily News.

I've told you guys from the beginning Bondy is horrible...
He either tries to pretend he is an insider by restating previously reported information or starting controversy by acting like his contrarian insights matter.
Hopefully by the time we get to Brooklyn we’ll get assigned actual sports writers.

The reporter usually is not the one writing the headlines
An editor does that.
Plan A all the way: Brook, Brooks, Dwill, Dwight and MKG

The "Brandon" Morrow article states Morrow trails Kerr by 6 percentage points
Isn’t it more like .6 (six tenths)?

6 percentage points is .06.

So the diff between .448 & .454 is 6 percentage points?
The diff between 44.8% and 45.4% is .6

Bondy is at it again.
That would be correct

This starting line up is scarier for us fans then it is for the bulls.
Deron
Bogans
Shawne Williams
Hump
Petro
Here we go ...
NYDNInterNets Stefan Bondy
Okur (back), Brooks (Achilles), Stevenson (knee) all out again tonight. Morrow will miss game to attend grandmother’s funeral
1 minute ago
10 day contracts are about to start, the Nets should definitely make use of it
We can give Uzoh another go, Manny Harris, JamesOn Curry, Gerald Green, Mikki Moore
Nets would have to cut Damion
At this point Damion is valuable as a trade piece, since NI mentioned that insurance would pay the majority of DJ’s salary.

10 day contract to Dampier would be nice

I'm a big fan of
Brooks, Deron and Hump. If we can only get a SF worth starting in this league it would make a world of difference. SF has been our biggest problem since RJ left and it’s unbelievable that in these years since they haven’t addressed the issue.
Well ever since RJ left, the issues have been EVERYWHERE, so can't really patch up a dam with a band-aid
TWill was supposed to be the solution for a while, too bad that never panned out
It's not like they aren't trying to get a decent SF, things just didn't turn out as well as they expected it to be.
T-Will = attitude problems
CDR = doesn’t want to play for the Nets
D.James = injury prone
Outlaw = !@#$%
"Canyon of Heroes" I'm glad Deron will be at home in NYC tomorrow...
He will get to see up close and personal what winning in this great city has to offer which no money in the world can buy you…
I was thinking the same thing!
Deron is now going to experience what this area is like when it actually wins.
Well, well. Giants are helping us with DWll
but we could not enjoy their win yesterday on this board with people complaining.

I don't know how much this has been posted
The wrinkle is neither Williams or Howard would commit to deals with the Nets without additional help, as both do not want to be in the same situation as the Knicks, were they are joined together, but with no help around them to compete.
If this is true, then it Billy King really needs to play hardball and Dwight needs to cooperate by narrowing it down to only the Nets.
We should pray that Deron and Dwight’s idea of “additional help” isn’t like Dwight’s guys like Stephen Jackson, Big Baby, and Arenas. He is NOT a good gm
how big is the threat of loosing both williams and howard after we traded for howard?
excuse my bad english please
zero

yes, Steve Kyler is not a trustworthy source.

?
Did anybody see the interview with Deron over the weekend, (I believe it was right after the T-Wolve loss) where Deron was talking about the upcoming game with the Knicks and the future rivarly in NYC and he said…“When we get to Brooklyn…” The way he said it sounded pretty matter of fact to me…
should i accept this trade in fantasy
im giving:
-steph curry
-boozer
-andre miller
for:
-rondo
-thaddeus young
-jason terry
What place are you in ? What is the scoring system ?
So many variables involved when dealing with fantasy teams…
Rule of thumb:…When in doubt don’t deal.
When someone comes to you offering a trade...
be very careful. The other guy usually knows more about his own players, unless of course he is not to bright, then you usually do.
i want to feel good about him
but i feel like he really doesnt want to be backup next year and is trying in all his might to boost his trade value or become wanted on the FA market next year so he can opt out and get an MLE starting gig

Use em and throw em away, see a pro a day is essential. If you want a piece of the rock, trick, go to Prudential

Jordan Williams will be our 4th leading scorer.

Ill take that bet
the Rook has a breakout tonight and buries Petro on the bench. Jwill should play 25+ minutes to improve endurance.

Maybe Bogans goes off against his former team...
maybe not…
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
10 steals?
seems more likely than 10 points
