Brooklyn Nets

	Kevin Garnett, PF 13 MIN \| 2-3 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 5 REB \| 1 AST \| 0 STL \| 1 BLK \| 2 TO \| 4 PTS \| +6 Early foul trouble hindered Garnett early, limiting him to just 13 minutes total on the night. In that time, he didn’t have a great deal of trouble with the Knicks, who, you know, sucked.
	Joe Johnson, SF 32 MIN \| 6-13 FG \| 2-2 FT \| 7 REB \| 2 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 18 PTS \| +16 Johnson set the tone early on with some knockdown three-point shooting, but this quickly turned into negligent iso-Joe’ing all over the place for some truly bad shot attempts. Still had a great game though, remaining efficient throughout and playing some superb defense against that Carmelo Anthony guy.
	Brook Lopez, C 31 MIN \| 6-10 FG \| 8-10 FT \| 9 REB \| 1 AST \| 1 STL \| 2 BLK \| 0 TO \| 20 PTS \| +10 20 points on 10 shots along with 9 boards, eh? Yeah, Brook’s still very much a bully in the post, only if he’s playing an interior defense as weak as New York’s, he won’t just take lunch money, he’ll give them a wedgie, swirlie and stuff them in their locker.
	Deron Williams, PG 33 MIN \| 10-15 FG \| 7-10 FT \| 1 REB \| 6 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 3 TO \| 29 PTS \| +19 Call it a #FlashbackFriday for D-Will tonight, taking it back to his Utah Jazz days with this eruption. I mean, he made mincemeat of the Knicks defense, despite their putting Iman Shumpert on him from the get-go!
	Bojan Bogdanovic, SG 32 MIN \| 3-7 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 4 REB \| 2 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 4 TO \| 8 PTS \| +10 Good news: he made a couple of threes out of the gates and his confidence seemed all there for the rest of the night. Bad news? Four turnovers. As a whole, looks like Bojan is coming along nicely as the season progresses.
	Mirza Teletovic, PF 27 MIN \| 6-10 FG \| 2-2 FT \| 3 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 18 PTS \| +3 THIS MIRZA’S ON FIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE. HE’S WALKING ON FIIIIIIIIIIIRE.
	Mason Plumlee, C 21 MIN \| 0-4 FG \| 1-2 FT \| 5 REB \| 1 AST \| 0 STL \| 3 BLK \| 0 TO \| 1 PTS \| +13 Can I blame Plumlee for shooting poorly when Lionel Hollins is putting him in the post? He’s not a post player. Not yet, anyway. Defensively, Plumlee was as active as usual but was getting burned in one-on-one post situations.
	Jarrett Jack, PG 19 MIN \| 2-5 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 1 REB \| 5 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 4 PTS \| -3 My favorite thing about Jack this year is that it seems he’s almost non-existent in wins. He played 20 minutes tonight and I can’t seem to pinpoint anything he did that stuck out to me on the court. It’s pretty great this way, because that means he’s sticking to defending and distributing and doing it well.
	Alan Anderson, SG 22 MIN \| 3-7 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 6 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 8 PTS \| -1 I like it when Alan shoots the shots and they go in. It’s great.
	Sergey Karasev, SG 6 MIN \| 0-0 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 0 REB \| 0 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 1 TO \| 0 PTS \| -8 -8 in six minutes. Well, hey, why not let the young guy develop in that practice scrimmage the Nets played?
	Lionel Hollins Only thing that struck me as odd was Hollins playing Plumlee and Lopez together for six minutes tonight. Apparently, this is the second game it’s happened this season. And I’m sick and tired of it. I mean, it kills spacing, neither Lopez or Plumlee can guard smaller fours, why do it? Oh. It was +7 tonight? Pfft. Just one game. What about in general this season? A NetRTG of 31.5 huh… Damn it.
