Monday Morning Mailbag #5

Day in and day out, we here at NetsAreScorching try to provide content that you guys want to read, however, we don’t know what exactly you want to hear about, and some things may fall through the cracks. This is what the mailbag is for. Every Monday we are going to be answering questions from you the reader, don’t be afraid to e-mail your questions to mailbag@netsarescorching.com.

It was a pretty short mailbag this week with only two questions e-mailed in.  They were interesting though, so I felt the need to answer them.  Remember guys, we want to be able to do this every week, so please, send in any questions that you may have.  We’ll blame this one on the holiday…let’s get it next week.

Over/Under 5 Triple Doubles For T-Will?

I really want to say over, I really do, but it is going to be under.  Every time Terrence Williams steps on the basketball court he has the potential to get a triple double, and while I do think he may pull 1 or 2 this upcoming season, 5 is just way too much.  Williams will have a few close calls as well I think, just like the end of last year.  He has a few better shooters around him, another year of experience, and maybe more playing time this year.  However, there are some things working against him as well.  Scorers mean there are lets shots to go around for him, and no question that Coach Avery Johnson is going to make him work on the defensive end, and that could take away from some of his offensive game.  So yeah, 1 or 2.  What does everyone think?  Let me know in the comments.

The Nets-Knicks rivalry has always been a good one locally in the tri state area, but doesn’t really get that much buzz, will that change this year?

I know that I personally hate the Knicks, because growing up my dad was a Knicks fan so in order to trash talk, I rooted against them.  That has always stuck with me as I grew up.  As for this rivalry going national, it all depends on one thing, will both teams be good.  Last year’s Knicks-Nets games were pretty good and competitive last year, but nobody was paying attention because there was only 5 wins between them.  When the Knicks were good back in the day, the Nets were awful.  Same for when the Nets were really successful, both teams have just never been good at the same time.  If these two teams are right around 35-40 wins and battling for the final playoff spot, people will start to pay attention again.

How come they wont put Morrow and Williams to train each other like something of troy Murphy and Favors? Morrow is one of the best shooters in the legue (so the way trains for shooting must be working) and Williams has some stuff that Marrow can learn off of, the Nets have to get all of these players to look at each other like family and help conquer one another weaknesses, right?

No way he's getting over 5. Avery will use him differently..idk.

By they way, LeBron had five triple doubles and probably like 10 or 12 games with 30/9/9 or 30/11/9.. He just came out when it was a blow out.. Shouldn't that count for something?

5 triple doubles is a lot. Lebron led the league in triple doubles last year and he only had 5. there were only 3 guys to get more then 1 last year (rondo, kidd, LBJ). and only 18 total players had a triple double. so no way he gets 5. would be lucky if he gets 3.

hes gonna have a nice season and fill a bunch of stats. but triple doubles are tough to get. hes gonna have a lot of close calls definitely.

his season avgs r prb gonna be like 14ppg 4apg 5rpg. which i really like

I don't think T-Will get over 5 triple doubles. He will have a lot of times when he is so close, like 10+points, 7-9 rebounds, 7-9 assists. But i agree that Avery will kind of limit T-Will. I say max, 3-4 triple doubles.

I don't think T-Will will start,much less get 5 or more triple doubles,and even if he did, his minutes will be limited, because of A.Morrow.As for a rivalry with the Knicks,it will be one because both teams will be fighting for a playoff spot.
