PrintThough Derrick Rose left early in the second quarter with back spasms, the Chicago Bulls picked up their second easy win over the Nets at the Prudential Center on Monday night.
The Bulls scored seven points before the Nets even took a shot and led by double-figures less than five minutes into the first quarter. The Nets were down by 20 late in the first quarter and by 30 early in the third.
Chicago shot 56 percent from the field and 9-for-15 from 3-point range. They were led by Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng, who combined for 43 points on 17-for-30 from the field. The Nets shot just 41 percent and were led by Deron Williams, who scored 25 points on 8-for-16, also dishing out five assists. Williams was one of nine players in (retro New York Nets) uniform Monday.

I remember when Jordan played. I didn’t hop on the bandwagon like those phonies.
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...

Ahhh… typical Nets incompetence. Nothing has changed. Still chasing crappy veterans.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!

But teh Nets don't have Brooks or Lopez! I can't shoot in this arena!
I WANT DWIGHT HOWARD OR I’M NOT SIGNING. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I WANNA COMPETE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP. WAAAAAAH! I’M GOING TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS AND LEAVE IF YOU DON’T DO WHAT I SAY. WAAAAAH!
Spoiled. Selfish. Entitled. Heartless. That’s our “All-Star” PG.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
calm down
dwill is playing his heart out, name another player tonight that did ANYTHING producutive/useful
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
During garbage time
When the Nets really needed him against the Knicks, he was anonymous.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
so was morrow
and shawne…and gaines…and shelden….whats your point here? dwill is a great PG and his performance tonight was very good, but whatever..march 15 thats all i care about
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
Except Morrow isn't the best player on the team.
DWill is.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
and he puts up 20+ a night
the guy isn’t kobe, he needs people around him to be efficient..
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
Excuses
Excuses. Excuses.
That’s not how it works. And PPG numbers mean nothing. Stop quoting them.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
im sorry for using stats to prove my case
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
Then use ones that actually correlate to winning
Instead of ones that are contextless and meaningless.
Anyway, i’ve had enough of this team for one night.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
are you serious dude?
do you want the guy to put up 50 pts per and dish out 15 assists to make you happy?
I love the Nets...too bad they don't love me...
he's been logging a ton of minutes
In the knicks game in case you forgot he started looking great than faded as the game went along.
Today he gave an effort the entire game but people weren’t hitting shots and the Bulls were hitting every shot…enough said
seriously, I could never forgive Nets front office for heading down this path.
And even if we get Dwight, this team is so far from being a complete team…

Really? He said that? Verbatim?
If I’m D-Will, i will leave not because of team mates, but because of fans like you. A home game that’s cheering the opposite team??? Because of this BS line up, his All Star status is on jeopardy, damn it!

I was going to go to Nets/Pistons on Wed.
but I’m not stepping foot inside that arena until the trade deadline. Literally pointless.
Who cares
why would I waste my money to go watch garbage basketball? There’s nothing “entertaining” about Johan Petro, Sundiata Gaines, Keith Bogans and the rest of the goon squad.
D-Will, Humphries, Ammo might be back.
If we have a shot at winning, that’s enough of a reason for me to go.
there will be more pistons fans there anyway
disgraceful
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
Don't confuse the current Pistons with some of these. Other teams
That’s one game that will have more Nets fans. Low attendance, but only a smattering of Pistons fans – like last week.
And Nets fans staying away from the games certainly doesn’t help the situation.

serious question: What if we don't get Dwight?
I think it’s a lot more possible than people are really acknowledging, tbh.
Lets cut out
the “Can’t wait to get out of NJ” talk, please.
There are a lot of members of this community who have been supporting the Nets in NJ for a long time. And they could very well take those comments personally.
Thanks.

How about “wow! no one shows up to the games and home games feel like away games for the Nets! I can’t wait until they go to Brooklyn and can feel like they have a community that supports them! we are statistically one of the worst fanbases over the last ten years!”
Can someone take that personally?

How about the Nets haven't given fans any reason to go to games.
I remember in 00-05 the place was packed I remember being a kid and seeing the place jam packed with Nets fans and this was in the Izod Center, a less accessible place than the Rock.During the beginning of the season the place was pretty full, especially the home opener but the Nets had a poor showing and fans just stopped going. Fans were proud to be rooting for the Nets, yes you might say you aren’t a fan if you don’t stick with the team through thick and thin but there are some out there, like us, die hard Nets fans. It isn’t fair to NJ Nets fans to be generalizing them into a group of unsupportive fans I’ve seen and had so many memories of the Nets being a 9-21 year old. Once they play good, they will come.

The Nets couldn’t sell out playoff games including the Finals during the Kidd era, that’s embarrassing.
Maybe it was cause I was sitting close to the front
there was still more than what we see now and I feel like that was the height of Nets fandom.
It's true I went to both finals.
I’m a huge Nets fan from NJ and have gone to a ton of games since I was a kid and honestly when I go to games against the Lakers and Heat and there are more fans rooting for them than the Nets I am embarrassed and feel bad for the team. I fully support the move to Brooklyn and I really hope the fans support them more there.

thank you
plus we don’t know where these Bulls front runners are coming from. They could just easily have hopped on a train to Newark from Manhattan. The huge metro area combined with our bad team invites fair weather fans of popular teams to outnumber us in our own arena.

I understand,
but like I said, there are probably a lot of people who would take it personally. In the 2nd half game thread, there were similar comments that were more clear criticisms of the actual fans in the arena.
NetsDaily.com
me too
but I think it’s unfair to heap all the blame of bandwagon fans on the state of NJ. the Nets play in the 6th borough, in the most densely populated area in the country, so it’s no surprise that one of the NBA’s staple franchises would encourage these fairweather Dallas Cowboys-type fans to show up in drones.

NJ does not support their teams
the Devils are one of the premier franchises in the NHL and they still struggle to put people in the seats.
Look, I love NJ and I’ve lived here my entire life and plan to live here for the rest of my life but we don’t have great fans. It is what it is.
I agree with you
but what I’m saying is it’s not entirely the state’s fault. The Nets play a stone’s throw from Manhattan, so any fair-weather Bulls fan in the entire two-state area will come out to see “their team” play. actual New Jerseyans like you me aren’t to blame, we do what we can to support team when it deserves it (and honestly, the support has been far better this year than I expected, still better than Philly until the last week), but who’s gonna come out to see their team get clobbered by 30? Nets fans stay away, Bulls “fans” circle this game on their calenders.
I don’t really know what I’m saying; I agree that NJ is a bad state to have a franchise in, because of NY’s shadow, because of lack of state pride; but I don’t think you should blame actual New Jersey fans for this. There could be more of them, and their support could eb better, but there are plenty of teams with even poorer support. We have enough fans to fill an arena on a good night (look at the home opener), but there problem is we have even more fans to fill up on an arena for a bandwagon-popular team.
by sheepareevil on Feb 6, 2012 10:19 PM EST up reply actions
Struggle?
Please, don’t bring up the Devils.
The Devils averaged pretty horrible attendance at the Swamp, no arguing there. But since they have moved to the Rock, they have been averaging 15,000 in a 17,000 seat arena. The Devils are connected to this state, and want to be here, and as such NJ will continue to support them. The Devils have issues with attendance, because Philadelphia owns SJ, the Rangers own NYC and have factions of fans throughout the state, and the Islanders still have remains left over from their glory days.
The Devils moved into an oversaturated market 30 years ago, and have had success. Only now are succeeding generations of Devils fans beginning to form, a fanbase does not grow overnight, even with that much success.
The reason the Devils have been more successful with their fanbase, irregardless of their on ice success, is that you won’t find as many bandwagon hockey fans as you will basketball. You root for a team, not a group of individuals put together, or a superstar and a collection of misfits.
The team matters.
I typed your symptoms into this thing up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems.
The Devils have poor attendance
you can’t argue this. 14-15,000/game is what they average year in and year out and that is not something to brag about.
With THREE titles in the last 20 years and 15 straight playoff appearances, attendance should be better.
I’m a Devils fan too btw.
I tried to explain why they have subpar attendance..
They are at 15,000+ this season.
I honestly could care less about attendance though. As long as the people who are at the game support the home team, I am happy.
I typed your symptoms into this thing up here and it says you could have network connectivity problems.
Your explanation makes sense
but attendance should STILL be better than it is with the success the Devils have had.
15,000 in an arena that seats 17k+ is the same as 15k in an arena that seats 20k.
Devils do have good fans though..lots of diehards.
I think it's just hockey not being as popular here
Not to mention the saturated market. When you take that into consideration, I think 15,000 is pretty impressive, given how little you’ll hear of the Devils or NHL on SportsCenter.

I agree with TKFJ. I have been to Devils games and the place is usually packed with DEVILS fans!
The Nets were starting to build a die hard fanbase until the RAT ripped apart a winning team! Since, the announcement to Brooklyn, less and less New Jersians can find the time to root for a basketball team leaving the state, that oh by the way have been AWFUL for three staright years now. So, considering everything, we still have a decent attendance going to the games.
LETS GO NETS!
Please don't compare the NFL to the NBA or NHL
and the Giants and Jets are NEW YORK teams. Massive fan bases.
but they have "New York" in their names
I’m convinced if we never changed our name from “New York Nets”, we’d have triple the fanbase right now.

What's worse is that people are gloming onto him because of his identity
and the flip side of praising someone for his/her identity is to decry him/her for the same reason. I always feel cautious when I see people go down that road. It’s ok to have ethnic pride of course, but keep it within reason and healthy expression. Even if the ones who praise don’t go down that flipside road themselves, it invites others to counter that praise along the same lines, because the entire focus of the conversation is on ethnic/racial identity, with pro remarks naturally inviting con.

agreed
but I think people like him for his overall unusual background for an NBA player. First Asian-American, first Ivy League player since Bill Bradley, undrafted. I don’t like him only being lauded for his ethnic identity, but I do think his game spoke for itself the last two games and I think that’s the main reason people are excited (that and the desperate PG situation in NY).

An Asian American has never played at the level he did, even for ten minutes

I’m happy for his success. but the hype from the Knicks media/fans is annoying me already. 2 great games against mediocre teams (Utah is bad on the road) and all of a sudden Lin is the answer. No, he’s done an excellent job in the opportunity he’s been given, but consistency means everything.

Avery is a great coach
I know we lost with 20 points but midway through the third quarter we were in a 32 point defecit! this team never gives up. its battling no matter what the scoreboard says. a lot of guys playing in roles they are not capable of because of our injuries, today we had the 13th different starting linup! for me avery is the right coach at the right place and without we would nt have 8 wins now.

Nets/Knicks comparisons are way off the mark
Deron and Dwight won’t have the problems Amare and Melo have playing together on offense or on defense. Dwight is a superior talent to both those guys, and Deron is arguably up there too.
If you did the same Knicks trade but had Dwight and Deron in NYK instead of Amare and Melo, they’d be much better right now
because lin had 2 good games

I was at the game tonight, 3 rows behind Chicago bench and there really may have been a ratio of 4:1 fans rooting for the Bulls.
It was really a horrible game starting from when the ball was tipped to start the game. I know this team has a bunch of injuries, but it is still painful to watch a team that plays with no effort in the first quarter and the rest of the game is meaningless.
The one positive today was that i was able to witness an experience that i have not witnessed at a net game in a long time (sadly enough). I dont think i ever saw witnessed a crowd chanting in unison for a certain player. The whole crowd, whether a net fan or Chicago fan was chanting for Scalebrine. The crowd erupted like they had won the Championship when he hit that shot. I could not stop laughing.
I was @ the Wolves game on saturday with many phonies in the crowd....
Some MOISO sitting a few seats in front of me was wearing a Kobe jersey right. (find that to be so ignorant) So its late in the game, this dude and his kids start cheering for the Wolves after they hit a big shot. When it got quiet I yelled out Kobe sucks. Him and his kids looked back @ me in shock. I gave him a dirty look and said it again. Don’t come to my house and disrespect us like that. #rideordienetsfan

I feel like the emergence of lin is bad for the nets. With the move to the NY, most Asian fans will become loyal to the Knicks.
That’s a big plus for the knicks. There are a lot of Asian bball fans around the world and especially NYC. If the knicks keep lin, that could be bad for the nets. I think if he leaves it helps the Nets or if the nets get an asian player as well. I don’t hate Jeremey LIn. I think he’s playing well. I’m just saying this from an Asian’s perspective.
Bottomline tonight, we got crushed by probably the a top two team in the league who plays extraordinary defense.
We had nine active players and only two of those players can create their own shot in Deron and Farmar. We were missing our leading scorers in Brook, Marshon and Morrow, not to mention, Stevenson and Okur. We really don’t know what we have as a team because our team has not all played together yet! I just hope Brook and Marshon come back soon so we can try to make a run!
LETS GO NETS!
there are two, maybe three championship contender quality starters on the Nets
D-Will, Lopez and if he is as good as he has looked Brooks. Morrow is an ideal sixth man. Hump is a third big man. He cannot dribble. The rest suck.
If the Nets dont get Howard, the Nets will be years behind the Knicks.

No Way
Hump isnt a third big man, He has a jump shot, and is improving on offense. Who do the Knicks have outside of Melo, Amare and Chandler? Im not banking on Lin after two games
I dont practice Santeria
Hump cannot dribble, Hump cannot pass

glad you understand
he has no offensive skill set outside of tip-ins and sometimes hitting that outside jumper
just look at this season and how bad he looks when he has to become a 3rd or 2nd scoring option. going like 10-22 and such. no post moves, no back down ability, minimal passing ability
he is the prototypical energy big off the bench. the only teams that could contend for a title with him starting are the Lakers, Bulls, Heat, Spurs and Thunder

Yup
No Dwight probably = no Dwill which = expansion franchise.
Usually, like Seattle going to OKC or Vancouver going to Memphis that doesn’t matter. The new market is just glad to have any NBA franchise so they’ll support them no matter how bad they are. The prob in our case is that Brooklyn already knows about the Nets. They already know about our history. So unless the team goes there ready to win, it’ll be that much harder to get the locals to abandon the Knicks. Not that it hasn’t happened before. Doc made Long Islanders forget about the Knicks during his brief stay here. For a brief while Sugar and Buck made NJ forget about the pre-Ewing Knicks.
But King is gonna hafta pull something out of his hat to make Brooklynites switch.
Again tho, on 4 separate occasions this franchise has gone from absolute garbage to the playoffs. At times even championship calibre. Each time it happened almost overnight. In fact, the last time (w/the Kidd and RJ moves) it did literally happen over night.
1) Mid ’70s drafting of Super John and Larry Kenon, plus the signing of Doc.
2) Early ’80s drafting of Albert King, Buck, G-Man, plus the trade for Sugar.
3) Early ’90s drafting of Kenny and DC plus the trade for Petro.
4) Early ’00s drafting of K-Mart, draft/trade of RJ, plus the trade for Kidd.
So maybe it’ll happen again w/Dwight. Then we just gotta worry about keeping all those parts together, which has always been the hardest thing for this franchise to ever do.
Opulence, I has it.
3 positives from tonight:
1) Orlando lost again.
2) Houston won inching closer to the last playoffs spot out West.
3) Nets have the best throw back unis in all of sports!

The Nets did wear those jerseys in Jersey.
Minus the ’83 and ’84 seasons they wore them from 1978-1990. And they wore them with the word “NETS” above the numbers. No one seemed to mind.

Not originally
They did have “New Jersey” written vertically down the red stripe but that was after they brought back the stars and stripes uniforms.
Originally the road uniforms only said “Nets” on it when they moved to New Jersey.

He's a bit different though. Lin isn't the lights out shooter
that nash or even a competent shooter like felton. He’s horrible at shooting. Lin is getting his buckets from finishing drives. He’s a good finisher. I hate to root against him because he’s doing wonders for Asian kids who love basketball. It’s great to see him do well. I just wish it was for another team….L

Good for him
It won’t matter if he doesn’t keep it up though.
If anything he’s exposed the knicks and how poorly built theyt are. He won today without melo and Amare mostly because they went back to moving the ball. Once other teams say “ok lets stop this guy seriously”, the knicks will just go back to melo trying to run the point.
If you think fans chanted for the Bulls tonight you need to see Bulls play in Milwaukee. It's like a

Why? He's playing great. I know he's on the knicks, but he's a humble kid.
He’s been in the DLeague he’s been around. it’s good that hes playing well.
its still
pretty sad though how they were supposed to be a championship contender but still hes played well. all my facebook friends hopped the chumpert bandwagon and hopped right into the lin wagon
He did play 45 minutes
He got fatigued in the 2nd half, and with Melo/Amar’e out, the defense was focusing on Lin a lot, and forced some turnovers.

At one point do we rest DWILL, and just give up on certain games when most of our better players are injured. We played Da Bulls last night with D-League talent and DWILL. Come on, when do we get a break?
Paul from Sunny Delray Beach, Florida
This was the first Nets game I just had to turn off this year
It was just too hard to watch. Aside from the poor play and blow out, the icing on the cake was the road game atmosphere in our own arena. It’s going to be hard to get excited for Nets games until the Brooks Brothers return
nothing makes me angrier as a Nets fan than getting vastly outnumbered in our own arena
I can accept losing by 30 to (arguably) the best team in the NBA, but when the opposing leaves to a standing ovation at the Rock that just riles me up.
really I don't know how can we can expect the guys to play with energy in that atmosphere
It really has to be demoralizing as a player if your home court feels like an away game.
it's not entirely our fan's fault
I hope they don’t take it as them not having any fanbase, cause that’s certainly not true; we packed the house for the home opener, and even less marque games like Raptors-Nets have had decent enough turnouts.. it’s just that with a depleted roster going against the best team in the East, not many Nets fans are gonna come up to witness a slaughter. but there are unfortunately PLENTY of frontrunning Bulls fans in the NY-metro area that will.
i’m sure ticket prices were a little higher than normal as well, with all the Bulls “fans” circling this game on their calender. it’s the same way in Philly; average ticket prices on stubhub are still around $10 starting price, but the Clippers game on Friday has a spike up to $50. but as many have said here, they’d avoid going to this game because they don’’ want to witness a beatdown; add that to the increased ticket prices, and it’ll be mostly fairweather Bulls fans in attendance who wouldn’t pay an arm and leg to see their team in MSG, but will gladly take the train to Newark to fill the arena.
I do not black DWILL
I have been hearing fans cheer for other teams for 25 years. It is so insane that I am just looking forward to move to Brooklyn so maybe this does not happen as much.
Of ALL the games I could’ve gone to, I HAD TO PICK THIS ONE! Even with the Groupon, I felt like I was getting robbed. Once it was known Morrow was out, I knew we were done. I just would’ve liked to seen a lot more competitive game.
As far as being ‘outnumbered’ in our own arena, that’s going to continue until we become an elite team again. It’ll either be near empty with only the die-hards there or full of the other team’s fans.
