New Jersey Nets at Golden State Warriors, Jan 22, 2010 7:30 PM PST
The New Jersey Nets still haven't won a game in calendar year 2010, and that shouldn't change after tonight. I harken back to when BJ Armstrong was a Warrior: "We are a bad team." That's the Nyets this year.
Incidentally, with Yi Jianlian in town, tonight is Asian Heritage Night and it benefits a good cause: SF Hep B Free. In short, Hepatitis B, which can lead to liver cancer, happens to be a disease found more prevalent in Asians. Kudos for SF Hep B Free for stepping up and doing whatever it can to spread the word, such as tonight's partnership with the Warriors.
If you are going to the game, there will be an exhibit profiling Wat Misaka, the first Asian to have played in the NBA (actually the league before it became the NBA). The producer of Misaka's documentary will be there.
Now, back to the Nyets...
I almost hate to admit this, but I've been watching the Nets on occasion this season, mostly because I'm intrigued by center Brook Lopez, not to mention Yi Jianlian. The Nets are giving up 102 ppg (compare that with the Warriors' 111 ppg), but I can most assuredly say that the Nets would be around the Warriors' numbers if not for (1) the injuries to Courtney Lee and Devin Harris to start their season, and (2) their pretty solid frontline of Yi and Lopez, but especially Lopez.
Yi's been having a decent year. He's averaging 15 ppg and 7 rpg, both marked improvements from last year. He's not shy anymore and is able to attack the rim on occasion, even a ferocious slam here or there. But Yi's one of those players who needs to hit a midrange jumpshot to feel good about himself, and if he isn't hitting, then it can be seriously downhill. He only went 3-for-13 from the field in the rout at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, but came back with a decent 5-for-10 against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
In the backcourt, Chris Douglas-Roberts may be the only Net to show any heart, perhaps aside from power forward Kris Humphries off the bench. However, he's a bit of a tweener in that he can't really shoot, but he hustles, plays defense and can finish at the rim. He really ought to be a solid 6th or 7th Man somewhere, but on this team, he's a starter.
I have not really been too impressed with Courtney Lee, who the Nets gave up Vince Carter to Orlando for. When the Nyets laid down in the first quarter against the Clippers on Monday, out of a timeout, he was chatting and chuckling with Baron Davis, who was basically cutting him and the rest of the Nets defense up early that night. I just can't stand that. You're supposed to be upset that you're losing and that this man owning you on the court. Maybe this season is lost for the Nets and in Lee's mind, but I think that attitude is part of the problem. This Nets team is really mired in their losing ways and young teams just don't know how to deal with it. It's hard, but you've got to take one battle at a time and just not give up like that. That's the only way to make something out of nothing. But for phenoms like Lee, it's part of their learning process.
Courtney Lee: hitting a bump in the road
Devin Harris has been playing, well, like he came off an injury. He's been very soft. Not the Harris of almost reckless abandon when he was with the Dallas Mavericks.
Finally, Brook Lopez. If you're in a fantasy league, he may be a good pickup at center because the kid puts up numbers. He's currently at 19.0 ppg and 9.6 rpg, a hair below 20-and-10, night in and night out. He hasn't missed a game all season. He's got a nice, developing jump hook. Once he perfects that as Patrick Ewing perfected the baseline jumper, he'll have his go-to move and you'll see the numbers inch higher.
The only problem with Lopez is that he hasn't seized the leadership role that is so lacking and waiting to be taken on this team. Maybe he's deferring to Harris, but really, Lopez needs to realize that this is his team. Yep, I said it. He is the foundation of this team, the reliable anchor down low.
Also, if a call doesn't go Lopez's way tonight, you'll see him throw up his hands in the air (a lot) and really get upset at a ref, but he's definitely not Rasheed and won't get a technical. The problem with that is, all of a sudden his intensity and energy becomes unfocused. He's losing it all to being upset at the ref when he should pack it in on himself or his opponent. It's too bad he's not a teammate of Kevin Garnett. He could learn a lot from KG in the "focused intensity" department. Because the day he does that, coupled with an "automatic" jump hook, is the day he's selected to be on the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
The Nets' bench isn't all that to write home about, but I like Kris Humphries and his hustle. He's like a Mark Madsen with skills. He scored a career-high 21 against the Clippers on Monday. He actually gets a lot of PT in the frontcourt rotation with Lopez and Yi. Keyon Dooling at times has played better than Harris at the point, but he's not terribly physically gifted and just above-average quick.
Jarvis Hayes, Terrence Williams, and Josh Boone round out the remainder of their rotation and they are pretty accurate definitions of "NBA rotation player". There's also Chris Quinn at third-string point guard. Here's a guy you wonder, how did he get an NBA contract? See, sometimes in the NBA, at the depths of the depth chart, you're just looking for someone who can learn and execute a play quickly, listens to the coach, and never complains. Many fans tend over-estimate what it takes to land on an NBA roster.
That being said, this roster is a disaster, devoid of any outside shooting. I don't think Jay-Z will be giving any Nets high fives anytime soon because they are very hard to watch (Jigga, stay home, the drive out to IZOD Center ain't worth it). And Lebron coming to Brooklyn? Nyet!
I must also say, I don't understand the hiring of Kiki Vandeweghe to coach this team. The roster seriously lacks any energy guys and you go out and get a Mr. Nice Guy to lead them into battle. No, they should've hired a young up-and-comer at a paltry salary, who's just happy to have an NBA job and who will scream at these youngsters to go out and play.
It's not like their core four of Lopez, Yi, Lee, and Harris is all that bad, though. I think they'll need to do some heavy rebuilding of the remaining pieces through the draft. It is absolutely imperative that they have a solid 2010 NBA Draft and perhaps obtain an extra pick or two. This year's draft will be stocked with forwards. Think Al-Farouq Aminu of Wake Forest, Wes Johnson of Syracuse, Evan Turner of Ohio State, or Damion James of Texas -- all of these guys are electric -- to name a few. Maybe they could even draft one of the many solid power forwards coming out such Derrick Favors of Georgia Tech or Patrick Patterson of Kentucky, and move Yi to the 3. It will be an excellent opportunity to fill the void that CDR has to fill right now. They should do that and then some.
Overall, the Nets are simply too young and not quite talented enough. The way to beat this team is to get an early lead, push it to fifteen while relentlessly attacking, because Harris and Lee's defense can become porous after awhile, then put them away with some kind of slam dunk or early-offense three-pointer. Do NOT let this team hang around. If they hang around, then one of the phenoms, Harris or Lee, might have a flash of the future where he decides to take over. We don't want that.
Corey Maggette: 30 x 4?
This isn't often said, but the Warriors should win this game, even with only 8 players. Corey Maggette should keep his string of 30+ alive because the Nets won't be able to guard him, and will send him to the free-throw line a lot.
Btw, I love how Maggette is second in the league behind Dwight Howard in points per shot (PPS) -- he's been doing it for years, actually. I used to be a little dismayed by Maggette's penchant for shooting the worst shot in basketball (the jumper with your heel on the three-point line), but he's grown on me. I'll take the ability to get to the free throw line and his PPS along with the somewhat poor shot selection. It's cool, he earned it. He still does take a lot of outside jumpers, though.
It's interesting, the next guard in the PPS rankings is Chauncey Billups. Billups is more of an opportunistic outside shooter than a volume shooter like Maggette. You know as well as I do, Billups has that intangible quality, the one that earned him Finals MVP. I think we may have found something tangible to measure some of that intangibility. I'd like to submit that this high PPS value for Billups coupled with the fact that he really only takes opportunistic shots as a point guard, makes him a future Hall of Fame candidate. Anyways, sorry for the aside.
Harris and Lee don't have the heart to keep containing Monta Ellis if Monta keeps attacking all game long. Let's just hope Monta stays interested. Monta and Stephen Curry should keep the pace of the game fast enough that even career nights for Yi and Lopez would be irrelevant.
Having three D-Leaguers who are fighting for 10-day contract extensions off the bench, against an otherwise average-talented team like the Nets, should yield good results. The one thing that's really hard to do when you're mired in a slump like the Nets are is hustle. The Warriors bench should out-hustle the Nets in every category.
Yeah, I know. Quite a long, in-depth preview for the worst team in the NBA, huh? But that's what I do, I can't help it. An Engineering degree will do that to ya.
Warriors by 15. 30 each for Monta and Maggette. At least 25 for Lopez. Yi's first few shots will determine his numbers for the remainder.

There is no excuse for why we shouldn't win tonight
I’d like to see us blow out the Nets by the 3rd, give Monta, Maggette, Biedrins rest in the 4th for tomorrow’s road game, and let Curry, George, Cartier, Tolliver, and Hunter get some burn time.
Game Predictions
- Our Golden State Warriors defeat the New Jersey Nets, 116-103.
- Monta Ellis leads the way with 33 points and 11 assists.
- Anthony Tolliver hits a few jumpers from the baseline.
- Chris Douglas-Roberts scores 20 points.
- Someone proposes a trade for Yi Jianlian in the game thread.

Monta figured out the best way to get in the All Star Game is by being injured.

Injuries are chronic, year in, year out. It can only be some kind of curse. This franchise simply cannot field a full roster. Granted, there is almost always gonna be one guy out for this or that. But over the last decade or so, injuries have decimated the Dubs.
There might even be some bad mojo at the Coliseum complex because all three teams have the weirdest bad luck.
I could also have something to do with the athletic coaches and trainers. Poor conditioning leads to injuries and poor rehab leads to recurring injuries.

All of the D-leaguers we have are ballers. Think about what CJ and Kelenna turned out to be. And they all play with a different sense of purpose, different attitude. They play more like soldiers than rich athletes. They hustle, they execute and their fundamentals are generally solid. D-League is a great way to go, especially since we have the equivalent of the D League All-Star Team on our roster.

about how we’ve had so many new players come in and have career years this year, even if it’s D League scrappers coming in fighting for their lives. I thought that at the end of this season we’d have some hard choices. So I wrote out all the players we have played this year who are still on our roster, including those who are injured, etc. It was only 16 players. Including Raja Bell and Speedy Claxton. Never mind.

Corey Maggette - 6th man
I don’t think he has a chance of gettin it right now, doin too good as a starter, probably will be a starter for the rest of the season, what do you guys think?
yes. if he came off the bench, he should be the 6th man.
back to back 5 dimes, is something to compliment Corey for.
Well, with Azubuike gone for the season, Morrow will probably move more to SG, so yeah, Maggs starting at SF unless Martin starts.

I think
We need to trade Ellis, Maggette while their stock is up, get some draft picks plus Tmac and Carl Landry, fire Nelson sign Byron Scott and go after big names in free agency. Even if this team had been healthy, it can’t compete with the Thunders, Grizzles, Clippers, the bottom teams so forget about the Lakers and other top teams. If you guys want to see the Warriors in the playoff again, we need to keep Curry, AR, Buike, CJ, Morrow, Turiaf. The rest trade them along with Ellis, Maggette and Biedrins.
Tmac and Landry for Ellis, Maggette and Biedrins
Waaaarriors
Dumb idea
You don’t trade your two best players for draft picks. Don’t you realize that we have been doing that sort of thing for a whle now to rebuild. You just don’t rebuild to rebuild over and over. This team is injured and is still developing well and competing every game with every team. What they have is a group of guys that when healthy, have the potential to be a dangerous team for years to come.

You out of mind, you trying tell me a starting lineup with
Curry PG
Ellis SG
Maggette SF
AR PF
Biedrins C
is better than
Conley
Mayo
Guy
Randolph
Gasol
Yeah sure keep dreaming
Waaaarriors
sorry but your trade proposal is awful.....
Rookie: "Why did you bench me?"
Nellie: "You're a rookie"
Your plan is very unrealistic and not a good a plan
You can’t just trade Ellis and Maggette and expect to get players that are capable of replacing their production. Again, there is no way the Warriors would be able to get big names in free agency because they don’t want to come here. I thought that was established a LONG time ago. Byron Scott is a good coach, but he’s not the type of coach for a running Warriors team which they obviously are. That Grizzlies lineup might be better than the Warriors lineup right now, but that’s because they are injured, and I would rather have Ellis, Curry, and Maggette than Mayo, Gay, and Conley. Randolph and Gasol are better than AR and Biedrins right now, but AR will most likely be better than Randolph in a couple years, and our center combo is good enough to out do Gasol. Plus, if you factor in our bench when healthy, it is ten times better than the Grizzles and most other NBA teams. A quick little temporary fix is not the answer to the Warriors problems. The answer is getting healthy and letting the team gel together.
by duballers23 on Jan 22, 2010 10:57 PM PST up reply actions
It is historical fact that the Warriors have trouble and/or don’t make use of money for free agents. trading Ellis and Maggs for money is a dumb idea. trade them for talent.

No Playoff
15 years, we only been once to the playoff that too we had Baron playing like an all star plus J Rich Capt Jack along with Harrington and Biedrins. If you haven’t noticed the standings 11 teams are in the playoff hunt not 9 teams the year we barely made it. The West is getting tougher and we this pathetic roster filled with D league players plus injury prone or washed up guys like Rad, Bell, Claxton, George will never be able to crack top 10.
You guys can’t see the reality, last year we were injured just like next this year and probably next year. I sit in here and read the most unrealistic comments made by some of you guys. "If healthy this team can win 50 games, if healthy, we are dangerous. if if if if " No ifs, trade these bums and get some winners.
Waaaarriors
First of all they have d-leaguers becuase they have so many injuries. Secondly, Rad, Bell, Claxton, and George are on the team because they are all expiring contracts except for Vlad, which will help the Warriors re-sign some guys in the future. You don’t know that if they get some star player, he won’t get injured. And you mention that the team is full of injured bums, yet you say to trade the guys who have been healthy this season for the most part Ellis and Maggette.
by duballers23 on Jan 22, 2010 11:05 PM PST up reply actions
This team needs a low post scorer badly, someone like David Lee who can rebound and score. If you dont know money talks, couple years back Atlanta was a bad team, they got Joe Johnson and he turned them around. Top teams in the NBA consistent of all star players leading their team, Ellis is good cause he is in a bad team, same goes with Maggette who always been in a losing organization. Why do you think Boston Celtics won a championship, cause they traded away their young players for proven veterans, thats what it takes to become a champion, you gotta have two good players with a strong supporting cast. You saying AR would be better then Randolph, you assuming that, nobody knows. This was suppose to be his breakout season, how many more years are you willing to wait? Most of these players been losing consistently, it creates loser mentality that I guess some you fans have got accustomed too. I reject your logic, trade when the stock is high, I would rather get guys like David Lee, Carl Landry over AR. I would take Grizzles or Thunders lineup over this one, this team is pathetic, a joke so far every year we fill the roster with D league players, thats the kind of talent we have, but of course we have Sleepy Freud assuming if healthy this can win 50 games, sure 50 wins in three years more realistically.
Waaaarriors
Joe Johnson didn't turn the Hawks organization around immediatley you know.
It took a while and the Celtics only traded there young guys because they couldn’t get Oden in the draft.
And if this team is so pathetic and such a joke to you, why are you here discussing this?
Why are you wasting your time trying to get your point out when you know no one cares?
Why do watch this team?
We’re a good team with a lot of talent and potential. OKC waited it out and they’ve been a great team this year. Patience is something that they used and it turned out fine. Same goes for the Grizzlies. It all depends on how good we can play together when healthy.
And I’d be willing to wait for AR to develop. He’s shown flashes this year and he could learn somethings from the other bigs. He’s only 20 years old if not mistaken, that’s pretty young for an NBA player.
