Nets Continue to Sink With Ugly Loss to Pistons at Prudential Center

The Nets lost their fourth straight game on Wednesday at the Prudential Center, burying themselves in an 18-point hole against the Pistons that they couldn't quite climb out of.

The Nets led by two early in the second quarter, but the Pistons then went on an 11-0 run, led by 12 at the half, and scored the first six points of the third quarter to go up 18. The Nets cut it down to seven at the end of the third quarter and to one with more than eight minutes to go in the fourth. But they couldn't get over the hump and couldn't get any stops down the stretch, as the Pistons held on for a 99-92 victory, just their second road win of the season.

The Nets shot just 42 percent from the field, while allowing the Pistons to shoot 53 percent. Greg Monroe led six Pistons in double-figures with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Deron Williams shot 6-for-9 from 3-point range, leading the Nets with 34 points and seven assists. Jordan Farmar added 22 points and Kris Humphries grabbed 16 rebounds. Shawne Williams and Anthony Morrow combined to shoot 5-for-24 from the field and and 0-for-10 from 3-point range. Keith Bogans sprained his left ankle in the closing minutes of the fourth.

soon he will be -10 in 1 minute. I dont care who has to play what extra minutes but he needs to stay glued to the bench. There’s no benefit of him playing because he’s an “extra body”. He is just a terrible basketball player that has minimal bball IQ

no wonder France doesnt even want him 1000 feet within the national team, they’d rather have fat Diaw and a bunch of NBA washouts over him

Damn, that's some mix! LOL

Lots of different eras, positions and draft orders. You cover the very high, like Kandi, and the undrafted, like Smush. All were deeply flawed. Olowakandi was dumb, Dare had no talent, Smush was an a-hole, Owens was a dog. Can’t exactly call Petro an a-hole but the other descriptions match perfectly.

Let’s remember tho how many here were cheering along when “Plan B” brought us Outlaw, Petro, Farmar and Morrow. Morrow (RIP to his Grandmother) ain’t bad at all. The others? Heh-heh-heh…

Lemme say one thing

I used to think the losses being Petro’s fault was a coincidence. I never hated Petro, and still don’t, so I refused to think he was the main reason. Now, I KNOW he is the reason we lose. Momentum killer is most likely what happens. He comes in, makes maybe a good play, but has 2 quick fouls or TO to alienate that. Petro needs to develop in the D-League right now, sorry Petro.

Will the Nets losing so much have a reverse effect

on the Dwight situation in terms of what they’re willing to give up for Howard?

Honestly, I would only want to give up something for him now if we have a shot to make the playoffs. The less likely that becomes, the less I would think the Nets are willing to give up, assuming they believe the Nets are and will be his #1 choice as a free agent.

by CurlyBeast on Feb 8, 2012 10:30 PM EST reply actions  

Not this season.

It’s becoming more and more clear that this season is a waste. Let Dwight play out the rest of the season in Orlando, and then take a chance on getting him and Deron together in BK, while keeping all their assets.

I was only willing to give up a lot now if the Nets had a shot at the playoffs now. If there’s no shot at the playoffs this season, I’d rather wait. Let the Magic’s owner continue his delusions for all I care.

Serious question: Why does it seem like DWill is incapable of making his teammates better?

Deron is arguably a top 3-5 PG, but I don’t see how he has made his Nets teammates that much better. I’m not sure many of his ex-jazz teammates miss him. And don’t bring up Morrow’s 42pt game, because A) that was an aberration, B) Morrow since his GS days had it in him to have great shooting nights. I think the Nets fanbase overrates Deron because we don’t have a choice. He is our only hope towards basketball respectability. But really, Deron, for all his talents, does NOT make his teammates better.

The Knicks fielded teams of d-leaguers in the last two games...

…and won both games behind the back of a d-leaguer and without their two best player.

The Nets have Deron Williams, someone who’s supposed to lead the team and make everyone play their best.

Clearly something is not working there.

Keep in mind that mosioing Stephon Marbury also scored plenty of points and made plenty of assists.

DWill can't magically make Petro into Kenyon Martin

Have you seen how many passes Shelden, James, Petro, and other guys always fumble? PGs can help guys that need to be fed, but they actually have to be able to receive the help and do something with it. Morrow can do something, Hump can do something. Everyone else on this team has been noted for their inability on offense even on other teams.

Bogans – why do you think the Bulls looked so long for a replacement at SG?
Stevenson – hasn’t been a scorer ever
Petro, Shelden – have never been able to do anything offensively

etc etc etc

lol...have you looked at the players on this team

how many easy shots does deron get his teammates only to see them miss or drop the pass.
picture this team without deron and you’ll find your answer.
with all the injuries this team is the worst as far as talent goes
you don’t even have any athletic wings to run on the break

dwill

the only thing i can think of is dwill knows dwight will come and thats why he hasnt asked for a trade. cant blame dwill when team doesnt have enough talent to win and you cnat make your teammates better when the majority of them either cant dribble shoot or catch the basketball. I mean devos might do something dumba nd keep d12 but that doesnt gurantee he wont end up in dallas with dwill nd dirk its a dangerous gamble.

For me, I think Nets at the deadline.

I can see all the reasons for the Lakers, and Bynum is far, far better than Lopez. But in reverse of the Melo saga, we are the wanted team by the superstar. What has stayed the same though is that like Melo, we are desperate, and in the end we can put a better package around the ‘center’ piece. Not counting out ORL keeping him for playoffs yet though.

Glad that you and M I K E are back. Even though you both had totally perception of our NETS you both bring that touch that makes Netsdaily the best blog on the web.

Its mind boggling to me that people are outworking us. That is something that should never happen under every and I am tired of the excuses.. Tired of the reasoning…. It has been 3 years and we are still making the same mistakes. I understand that there has been a big turnaround of players but still.. there is not consistency whatsoever.. They cant lose(that is going to happen) but being out hustled to me its a testament of the coach and his staff.

Kris also said that the team has no excuses for injuries and that the team still has to perform because there are fans that are paying to see these games.

But the core of your point is valid, except for one thing: what does Lin have to do with anything? The Knicks did not expect this guy to produce… nor did 29 other teams. Nor has Lin convinced me of much in a three-game sample size. I don’t care if he turns into a star, it doesn’t really justify anything you’re arguing. The Knicks are still in somewhat of a disastrous situation.

Obviously, I’d love Dwight, but the uncertainty every year for the past 3 (Lebron, then Melo, now Dwight) is just wearing me down.

Avery's lack of a system

possibly

hard to tell. analyzing what plays teams are running is not a strength of mine, unless I really focus. it could just be that our guys suck at setting low screens or something, which is why you have Farmar holding the ball for 6 seconds waiting for someone to get free.

but either way, something isn’t right.

I completely agree

Avery’s system is awful… plain awful…

Look it ain’t like Lin has 4 superstars around him wih Amare and Melo out. Chandler is the only one being paid any real dollars by the Knicks that was in the game

Exactly...

Avery is awful that’s the real answer. The only reason he’s coaching basketball is because he had nothing better to do after he stopped playing. All these PG-turned coaches are crap, a la Thomas at the Knicks. There’s reason they’re not doing anything else, they’re idiots

Being negative about the Nets is fine. But when your goal in commenting is to antagonize other members of the community and publicly take pleasure in their despair, you’re a troll.

You may agree with him on a lot of things, but the above is why you’re here and he’s not.

This is tough

But we need to keep things in perspective: The Nets have two of their five starters playing. And some of the Nets key reserves are injured. How many teams could survive that? Perhaps the top teams could play .500 ball but most teams could not. Even if healthy, the Nets are, at best, an average team (albeit a team with a few nice pieces.) But no team can be as injured as the Nets are and play high quality basketball. The Nets are going to struggle. If/When they get Brooks and (a healthy) Brook back (or Howard), they will become a decent team. Until then … SUFFER!

you can yell

but I don’t think it’s unfair to say he was pushing the limit into belligerence. there’s wrong and right times to yell but his was indiscriminatory and even directed (across the court) towards the Pistons bench at one point. I don’t think they should have kicked him out so easily, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest he tone it done a little. not sit quietly, but it sounded like he would have thrown his voice out in another 5 minutes.

He’s a passionate Pistons Fan and the Nets are intimidated about that. If he was a Nets fan he would be placed on a pedastool. He’d be our # 1 fan…sorta like Fireman ED at the Jets game. It’s a disgrace!
