Mauled Alive: Grizzlies 101, Nets 77 (Game Grades)

Deron-Williams40

Deron Williams POINT GUARD

Hard to defend the type of game he had, or, apparently, for Deron to defend Mike Conley.

Joe Johnson SHOOTING GUARD

Took a long time to heat up and by the time he began hitting shots it was too late.

Gerald Wallace SMALL FORWARD

It’s been hard to criticize Wallace’s game during this recent stretch because, well, the team’s killed it with him on the floor, his energy has been a constant… constant, and the Nets have been winning. But when they’re losing, and Wallace is throwing passes out of bounds, missing layups, and airballing three-pointers… There’s only so much you can enjoy.

Kris Humphries POWER FORWARD

Nice blocks on Tony Wroten & Zach Randolph in garbage time!

(That’s all I got.)

Brook Lopez CENTER

Was the only Nets player to have a decent first half on the offensive end, but more than made up for it by getting torched on the defensive end. Marc Gasol scored behind him, through him, around him, and over him. His decent offense was the only thing going for the Nets tonight, which is why he gets the highest grade. But the team’s highest grade was a C-. So there’s that.

MarShon Brooks SHOOTING GUARD

New nickname for when he tries to run the offense exclusively through himself and screws up on multiple possessions: “MarShan’t.”

Reggie Evans POWER FORWARD

Somehow hit his first four shots, hit double-digits in points, and inspired one of Nets PR’s greatest trolling tweets.

Tornike Shengelia SMALL FORWARD

Giving him an honorary A+ for his 39-point, 18-rebound performance for the Armor. #FreeToko

C.J. Watson POINT GUARD

Not the reason they lost by any stretch, but just another extension of this team’s overall ineffectiveness tonight.
