Bogans Has Torn Ligament, Broken Ankle
by NetsDaily on Feb 9, 2012 3:31 PM EST
Email
PrintThe Nets announced Thursday afternoon that Keith Bogans has "a complete tear of the deltoid ligament as well as a fractured left ankle" and will undergo surgery on Monday. His season is over.
Bogans injured the ankle near the end of the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, attempting to stop a Greg Monroe drive after Kris Humphries let Monroe go by him.
"My reaction," Avery Johnson said, "is it's really tough when we're screaming like 50 times, 'We don't want Monroe to go left. He's a left-handed player and he has two left hands.' We're screaming, 'We don't want him to go left,' but we still allow him to go left and dunk on us. And, as a result, Bogans gets tangled up inside and comes down wrong. It's just unfortunate that we didn't execute and defend somebody's individual strength, and Bogans gets hurt on the same play."
Bogans was signed just eight days ago, played in five games, and scored 21 points for the Nets.

Who do we sign next Moon? If so at least he can run the floor and finish….
Al Thorton > Moon
even though they are both inconsistent at least Thorton can play both forward spots….
But Moon would be better for this team

here's what's going on
that guy who hexes opposing players when they shoot fouls…because this is a hockey arena and sightlines suck, the hex bounces off something at the other end of the arena and hits Nets players.

i found that guy hilarious, watch him at every game i go to. same with the dancing dude usually in the center sections.
i’m just hoping nobody else gets hurt. please. i don’t care for curses but i mean come on…we need to go to brooklyn asap. Feng Shui whatever you want to call it, but we do not have good luck.
Don't forget
Normally those hexes would hit a fan on the other side of the court (who would find their car broken into after the game) but since there are no fans in the arena, the bouncing continues.

Like the US budget, it has to get worse for it will ever get better.
1) 12 win season
2) Lockout season with injuries
3) Might be Not getting Dwight and lose Dwill
Whether or NOT (3) Happens I see a bright future for the NETS in Brooklyn especially if it is
Lopez, Brooks, High Draft Pick and cap space to turn into more draft picks like what the Cavs did. I see a bright future.

Good post
There’s no such thing as a curse, come on people.
It’s a bad, bad stretch. Sure. A plan that hasn’t played out to the end yet and some bad luck. That’s the way the world works. It’s much more random than most people want to believe.
There’s nothing to do but wait it out. If it grinds you up too much, you just gotta step away for a bit.
so now you have two players with expiring deals out for the year
gotta dump one of them. gotta.

Shawne Williams better watch out
With Damion James, Deshawn Stevenson and now Keith Bogans all getting injured, he might be up next in the small forward line. Or maybe Bojan gets injured playing overseas. That might help.

This year it is the curse of the foot: DJames, Lopez, Marshon. now B’s ankle!!!!! Ouch. This is why we all know DWight ain’t comin. the curse will keep him away. We are a pathetic team that can’t even beat Toronto and Detroit at home. This has been 3 years of horrible basketball. Last night was unwatchable.
We didn't beat those teams because of the injuries
This team probably is cursed…. but if you put that aside, we would be a .500 team or better if we could suit up more than 8 or 9 players every game.

Let’s remember what was offered in the Vince Carter trade. Orlando offered EITHER (A) Alston, Battie and Reddick for Carter OR (B) Alston Battie and Lee for Carter and Anderson. The idiot Rod Thorn stupidly chose (B). If he had only chosen (A), we would have kept Ryan Anderson and obtained Reddick.

Another Injury!!!
I don’t think anyone should play for out team… the Nets are cursed.
I wonder what’s the record for a team with the most number of different players injured during a season is?
JKidd Era 2! Starring D.Williams as the lead actor, Avery Johnson as Byron Scott, and Player X as Player Y.
Let the show begin!
How about Morris Almond? I always liked his game back when he was at Rice University. Currently tearing up the d-league with 23 ppg on 58% shooting from the field.
MarShon the Messiah
In fact, how about giving Gerald Green another crack at the NBA? Almond is more of a 2 than anything, so he’s probably not the best fit regardless. Green is putting up 19 ppg and shooting 50% from the field including an absurd 49% from 3.
MarShon the Messiah
I think this is the right strategy...
The team needs to baiscally hold tryouts for all d-leaguers. Just pick a person full of energy, doing well in the d-league, and give him a shot. It’s clear the “scouts” are all useless (a la Jeremy Lin, Deandre Jordan, Marshon Brooks, etc. etc.) so give them a shot… Avery hasn’t gotten fired for 2 awful years, he’s nto getting fired so might as well try
by anothernetsfan on Feb 9, 2012 4:47 PM EST up reply actions
My feeling is, this team clearly isn’t going anywhere right now, so why keep up the charade with these fringe role players? Let’s see if we can find a steal in somebody putting up big time numbers in the d-league and see if one of them just might translate to the NBA. 12.5 ppg Larry Owens doesn’t excite me. Is it likely we come out with anyone worth signing? Probably not. Is it worth a shot? Absolutely.

who knows
maybe we find the next Jeremy Lin

Like the US budget, it has to get worse for it will ever get better.
1) 12 win season
2) Lockout season with injuries
3) Might be Not getting Dwight and lose Dwill
Whether or NOT (3) Happens I see a bright future for the NETS in Brooklyn especially if it is
Lopez, Brooks, High Draft Pick and cap space to turn into more draft picks like what the Cavs did. I see a bright future.

With the lockout and shorten season, you have to realize that if players were not in game shape this was going to happen. this isnt the NFL where you get 6 days to rest and only play one day a week. We already had back to back to backs already.

The Nets have had a lot of foot injuries this season, Bogan plays 5 games for us and breaks his ankle. That’s a curse to me! lol
Everyone already knows Thorn is trash. He was hyped because he drafted Michael Jordan. Other than MJ he hasn’t drafted anyone worth a damn. He did have some nice trades but he had twice as many bad trades.
The team wasn’t mismanaged, ownership didn’t want to spend money because they were desperately trying to move to Brooklyn. That’s why Kenyon wasn’t resigned. That’s why RJ was traded as well as Carter. Kidd was traded because he wanted out because he knew what was going on with the cut backs.
Let's go with Al Thornton
can’t play D, can’t shoot, good finisher at the rim.

We could trade farmar right NOW. His value wont get any higher…hes scoring 20-25 on the regular….theres a team out there that needs a jordan farmar….we could package him with morrow and get ALOT back. we need to do something. we’re seriously making just the most head scratching moves…it hurts my soul.

To be successful, apparently Avery's Defense System requires it to be manned by NBA All-Defensive Team.
Can't wait for All-Star D-Will
…to get injured in the all star game
Are we eligible for an injury exeception
To go over the 15 man limit and sign more players?
We should be granted at least 2 with Bogans and James done.
Well, what other unsigned clients does Dan Fegan have for us?
What horrible news about Bogans…I hope he can rehab this as he’s 31, but it’s a pretty rough sentence especially if he has to be released.
i thought that with gasol out of the picture the nets would def get dwight because bynum alone wouldn’t get him
yea but maybe with a good pg like rondo, dwight maybe signs there in the offseason if not traded.
But i think no matter what LA does, he’s coming here

accordingly to my laker fan friend
some blogger came up with that because mitch kupchak said he wants a point guard, and then the internet ran with it. i don’t buy that deal happening at all.
actually, he said he wants a 25 year old, pass first, all-star point guard
how many of those are there?

"Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Steve Jobs to win the lotto." - Chris Rock
Patrick Ewing - The NBA's all-time leader in rushing yards
you know who else wants that?
every team that doesn’t have one.
true, that's where it came from
but there’s 1 tiny flaw in that trade; it’s completely 1 sided. Is there ANY team in the league that would trade a youthful, All-Star (though overrated), pass 1st PG who’s on a very cap friendly contract for an unhappy, declining Pau who’s due $20mil next season?
Pretty sure where not going to see Brooks or Lopez ever again in a Nets uniform
Can’t risk them getting injured.

"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."
he may not want to come here if we keep losing
so losing player after player will only make lose more
We came off a loosing season last year didn't matter to him
We were loosing early in the season, not sure that enters his thinking or he would have chosen the Bulls or some other team. All about Brooklyn D-will, and him having input in player moves.

"Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Steve Jobs to win the lotto." - Chris Rock

He would also have to factor in our injuries
But still if it was about winning I think he would have chosen another team or force a trade to the Lakers, not much has changed since we last heard reports of the Nets being his number one option. He is always in direct contact with D-will so he knows the situation with holding back spending for him as well, he’s a great player you add him and a bunch of bums that playoffs easily.
"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."
it's probably about winning, business opportunities, and playing with his PG buddy
All this is really going to be in brooklyn so your most likely right.
Alot of things can happen though, and what worries me more is that dwill loses interest. Playing for the Nets is ruining his image. I think that considering how his personality is, he is relatively calm and hadling himself wel,l but what’s happening to the Nets is just not normal. It would freak anyone out.
Than again I’m still optimistic that dwight will be here it’s just that all these things keep happening.
Yeah I'm actually surprised
about D-will’s demeanor at the moment the only thing I can guess is that he knows Dwight’s coming because I would have blown up by now. I agree about his image it is being ruined at the moment that can all change next year, but as you say I’ve never seen a Franchise have so much change thats supposed to take place within 1 year, have so many fluky things happen and stay in a holding pattern for so long. But I to think it will work out but its unprecedented in my eyes.

Reading this quote...
Johnson was upset about the injury.
“My reaction is it’s really tough when we’re screaming like 50 times, ‘We don’t want Monroe to go left. He’s a left-handed player and he has two left hands.’ We’re screaming, ‘We don’t want him to go left,’ but we still allow him to go left and dunk on us,” Johnson said. “And, as a result, Bogans gets tangled up inside and comes down wrong. It’s just unfortunate that we didn’t execute and defend somebody’s individual strength, and Bogans gets hurt on the same play.”
http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/7559301/new-jersey-nets-keith-bogans-season-surgery
Avery’s basically blaming Hump, who let Monroe go left, for the injury.
NetsDaily.com
yup...honestly i feel like hump's head is in the clouds for some reason..
…i know he’s put up good numbers for the most part and where would we be without him, but i’m wondering if the guy’s distracted for some reason…Kim K? Dunno…maybe.
avery definitely let hump have the r-rated version of that in the locker room post-game
i mean, he’s not wrong. you gotta remember that monroe is lefty, but still…that’s a rough one.
Good, Hump deserves to be called out for his pathetic defense this season
I’m tired of everyone praising his double double numbers when his defense is such crap.
why was bogans
the one standing under the rim where a center should be? usually if Hump is guarding someone away from the basket like that there should be, you know, like, a center there to contest the shot after the blow-by. it’s not all Hump’s fault. Maybe if we had a real team on the floor to play all the positions.

Hump...
deserves praise for his double-doubles and effort each night. He also has made some solid help defense plays, however his basketball IQ with “system” defense is pretty bad.
The numbers last season indicated that he’s an OK 1 on 1 defender, but that doesn’t take into consideration defensive positioning, how he plays the pick and roll, etc…it’s been bad.
Nice job Hump!
I was screaming at my TV during that play.
Hump steps up to guard Monroe 20 feet away from the basket AND allows him to go left. Horrendous defense.
Missing the point
Avery is the coach and needs to lead the team. While it certainly was a bad play by Hump, to essentially blame him for Bogans’ injury is outrageous and disgusting. Bogans jumped and landed wrong—it could have happened on any number of plays in that game. So Avery is frustrated by our terrible defense. Fine. But to vent your frustrations like that in public is a dereliction of Avery’s leadership responsibilities. Hump has been one of your best players, and how is he supposed to feel after being unfairly thrown under the bus like this? Avery should apologize.

Just awful. Take a terrible injury and somehow make it worse by starting the finger pointing. He could lose the team if he hasn’t already.
Granted they’re almost all filler with one-way tickets out of town, but still….
thats what i thought too when i first read it
but this isnt the first time Hump has played terrible team/help defense and I think Avery saw this as one of the few times he could subliminally throw shots at Hump for playing below average on defense

Why are no Net players being name “All-Star reserves”? Many Nets are reserve quality.
DWill has no business making the All-Star game over Irving.

I guess the fans would prefer to see DWill, but you know what Charles Barkley says about the fans (and I agree with him).

Kyrie has been a better rebounder, a more efficient scorer and has turned the ball over less often.
It’s really not close. Even his (crappy) team has more wins than the Nets, so you can’t even use that argument.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Deron's 21 and 9
Not only has Deron scored more but he blows away Irving’s 5 assists — kinda important in PGs. Irving has shot better but that’s not enough. And what does rebounding have to do with it — but they’re equal at that actually. The Cavs have so far won 2 more games. Big deal.
Irving has been the more valuable basketball player this year.
And it’s not close.
Frankly, i’m not sure why people are defending DWill for having what is his worst year since he was a rookie.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Congrats Kyrie is a better scorer
he still scores less than Deron. Still has less assists than Deron. And his team is healthy mostly

And what if Love was injured
If Deron had Love we’d be in the thick of the playoffs hunt. Heck, if Lopez wasn’t hurt, we’d be battling out there.
Well, he’s actually 6th among rookies in win shares, and even though he’s top 10 in USG rate, he’s also top 10 in true shooting percentage. He’s 6th in PER. He’s averaging 15 points, 8 rebounds, and just about a block and a steal per 36 minutes (not to mention “2.5” of those rebounds are offensive), and he only trails Alec Burks in free throws attempted per 36…His only problem really is that he can’t hit a 3.
Or, you know, you can just say he sucks.

Has a player ever got a technical in an all star game?
and I hope Deron doesnt get hurt in the game
?
He made it.

if Nets were playing above .500 with Lopez...
yeah I could see him getting the nod over HIbbert. However, you HAVE to have a Pacer on the team with the way they started the season.

Yeah i know
But always felt he was a little overrated for some reason, always liked granger more from the start
HIBBERT?!?!

Had lopez not been injured….Lopez would be in the AS game!
"Beware the Ides of March."
Did Shaq just say Rondo is the best PG in the game?
He isnt even the best in the Atlantic
I dont practice Santeria
he also said that kawhili(?) is the steal of the draft...

kawhli leonard was a steal, closer thing to a steal besides swag of course.
Brooklyn - D-Will - Swag - MKG - Lopez - D12
Al breaking the barrier of illogical Knicks writers.
Al Iannazzone @Al_Iannazzone
Amar’e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler didn’t make the East All-Stars. But they were not snubbed.
Frank Isola last year:
Anthony Morrow in the three-point contest? That’s outrageous! But Shawne Williams should be in there.
How is Lou Williams having a better year than D-Will?
He’s a bench player on a good team
I dont practice Santeria
He's just mad because Deron is Dwight's close friend...
Shaq still goin’ on with that childish “I am Superman not Dwight” crapola…
Shaq probably feels like he invented Superman!!!

The Nets are cursed...
Every single player has missed a game at least… unbelieveble
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
ouch!
saw the play as it happened. couldn’t really see the potential damage until the replay. was hoping it was just a badddd twist, but sorry to see it ended up much much worse. Good luck KB.
