    2014 Brooklyn Nets Team Thread


    New Coach(Again)some new faces and lowered expectations this year as we look to compete in the East for one of the 8 spots for the Playoffs so hopefully we can get healthy years from Deron and Brook as those two are pretty much key in how well we do this year.

    Just don't suck this year, guys and also be healthy.

    I think we're going to do a lot better than people expect. As long as DWill as nd Lopez stay healthy. Theres no eyes on us. I excited to see what Hollins will do to improve the defense.

    Brooklyn Nets 2015 NBA Champions!!!!!

      Sucks last nights game wasn't Televised.

      Tried watching the only available stream out there but it was basically recording directly from the jumbotron at the Arena so it was hard to tell how we looked, aside from the lag as well.

      But I heard/read good things about it despite the fact it was against lesser competition. Should get a better barometer when they play the Kings.

        Posted this in the preseason thread but I'll post it here as well

        Man I hope Teletovic is in the 3pt contest this year. My man has serious range.



        Like what I see from this Jerome Jordan dude. Gonna have to keep an eye on him throughout preseason.



        Plumlee should just stick to putbacks and alley oops because his post game right now....yeesh. The former is his specialty so just keep building on to that instead of worrying about adding other parts to your Offensive game.

          Damn, please don't let this be a repeat of last year...

          Brook Lopez might miss the next 10 days to two weeks with a soft tissue injury in his surgically repaired right foot, according to league sources.

          The Brooklyn Nets center did not suffer a fracture to the foot, according to sources, which is very encouraging news for the team. But if Lopez needs more than 10 days to recover, the center's status for the season opener at Boston on Oct. 29 could be in doubt.

          Lopez's health is a major key to the Nets' season. The 7-footer has missed 134 games over the last three seasons. He played in just 17 games last season after suffering a season-ending injury to his right foot on Dec. 20 in Philadelphia.

          Lopez, 26, underwent two procedures on his right foot on Jan. 4 when he had surgery to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal and a first metatarsal osteotomy, in which another bone was repositioned in his foot to unload and protect the injured area.

          On March 3, Lopez had surgery to repair a torn tendon and tighten lateral ligaments in his left ankle.

          The Nets' All-Star big man was cleared for training camp and played in Brooklyn's three preseason games, averaging 18 points, 5.6 rebounds and 54.2% shooting in 23.3 minutes per game.

          Lopez previously fractured the same fifth metatarsal in December 2011 and later had a screw replaced in it this past offseason.

          Head coach Lionel Hollins has said that health will be perhaps the biggest issue for the Nets this season. Deron Williams is also looking to regain his All-Star form after undergoing surgery on both of his ankles in May.

          ESPNNewYork.com's Mike Mazzeo contributed to this report.

            I just got back from school and heard the news. I hope Lopez can just stay healthy.

                  Great team effort from us tonight, especially on the defensive end.

                  Held the Pistons to 1 FG in the final 10 mins. This is the same team that owned us in each meeting last year.

                    Lopez makes his season debut tomorrow. I doubt he plays more than 25 min though.

                      Such a weird game tonight. I'll take the W but watching it felt like we weren't up by as much as the score showed throughout the game.

                      Great games from Deron, Joe and Brook though.

                        Deron has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week. First time he's won it as a member of the Nets.

                          Jesus christ outside of Deron we are a SLOW SLOW SLOW unathletic plodding team. I hate it so much. Deron finally gets healthy and he can't do anything.

                          Not to mention we're falling back to the Averah trap of ISOffense and I dont like it.

                          With all the Kirilenko rumors, I hope we at least get back some wing athleticism. Or a post defender...but. I'm keeping my expectations low that we won't.

                              It wouldn't surprise me, I still think we don't have enough to run with some of these young fast teams, and we don't have the defensive stalwarts Memphis has to play like that. We'll see though
