Thank you Boston!

The 2011 NBA draft is said to be one of the worse Draft Classes ever. The Nets had to give their own pick (3rd overall) + Devin Harris + Derrick Favors to trade for Deron Williams. But a miracle happened during the draft night. The Boston Celtics traded their 25th pick (Marshon Brooks) for the Nets' 28th pick (Jajuan Johnson) and a 2nd round pick (2014). In case you don't know Marshon Brooks is the second leading scorer in the US college Basketball scene (2011). So almost everyone was pessismistic on how he fell in the said draft. Well yeah he's a known scorer and has a staggering 7’1” wingspan. And the Nets got this guy for basically free. Is it really a miracle?


Right now the Nets are 2-8. The roster flat out sucks and it sometimes feels like this is a D-league team (that's how upset I am right now). It's really frustrating to watch them, game after game getting "Manhandled" by their opponents. But seeing Marshon Brooks play like he's been on the league for 2 years already makes that pain go away. The game against the Hawks tonight has got me thinking, what did the Nets saw on Marshon Brooks that the other teams didn't.. He obviously "got it" and some time in the game he looks like the best player on the court for the Nets. He can actually win ROY if he continues to play like this. Is he the future of the Brooklyn Nets? Or is he going to be a part of the package that will send Dwight Howard to the Nets? His trade value is getting higher and higher game after game.


Well who knows I'm just here to write my opinion about my favorite team in the NBA. I'm not a stats guy or a guy who has "sources". But for me Marshon Brooks is a keeper. This is one of the best moves that Billy King did in 2011. When all else fails go blame Proky (that was a joke)! Marshon Brooks is without a doubt a steal in the 2011 Draft. THANK YOU BOSTON! :)

Be Careful What You Wish For.

Bring the Lockout back.........

I remember when the Lockout ended I was one of those NBA fans who were like "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" and went "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH". Okay I'm not making any sense but to cut it short I was so happy that the NBA was back. Free agency started and the Dwight Howard to the Nets rumors stormed the social media sites most esp. Twitter (thanks a lot Broussard). So we're now 5 games into the season and from "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!", it became "NOOOOOOO". Yes Ladies and Gents the Nets are still sucking even with the shorten season. But who's to blame?


Well it can't be Billy King cause all he wanted is a cap space during the 2012 free agency that features our All-Star Point Guard, Deron Williams and of course Dwight Howard (BROOK LOPEZ). It's been rumored for a while now that these two players are dying to team up with one another. Problem is no one knows which team they want. Of course the Nets are on their list cause even though Deron Williams is opting out on the final year of his contract he said that there's 90% percent chance that he'll resign with the Nets. But that number seems to be dropping. Last night the Nets lost for the 4th time this season out of their 5 games against the LOWLY CAVS. Even if the Cavs got the Number one pick in the 2011 draft we all know that they're still a lottery team . And we have Deron Williams for heaven's sake. I'll admit that the roster without Brook Lopez who is out because of a Foot surgery looks like a mess. Okur and Hump are decent but the Wings is just disgusting. Well for some time before the season I thought the wings were fine when they added Stevenson and Shawne Williams but both players seem to be out of Basketball shape so yeah. Let's just say that IMO the one to blame here is no other than AVERY JOHNSON. Why would you sit a freaking rookie who has been scoring at will? It just doesn't make sense and please Stop putting Gaines at the guard spot you have a freaking ALL-STAR POINT GUARD! Why won't you let him handle the ball. I can't think of anything more if it's not Avery, Maybe we're tanking the season to get higher picks in a stacked 2012 draft.

I mean 12-70 was freaking enough. But right now it feels like we're back at that season again. The Nets Fans deserve more than this. Turn KNICKS FANS INTO NETS FANS? With this lineup? With this kind of play? I know I'll be a Nets fan forever but come on.. If I knew that this would happened again then we would have been better off with the LOCKOUT.
