Battle Formations!

VS.

Trenton "Who The Fuck Am I?" Hassell

Easy Yi

Courtney "Missed Layup" Lee

Brook "Frankenstein" Lopez

Devin "No Tradebacks" Harris

Check My $tats

- Anderson Varejao is shooting 100% from 3-point land!
- LeBron is averaging a league-high 10.1 yards per carry
- Though the Nets have the worst record in the league and thus have a statistically higher chance at the #1 draft pick in 2010, they already have a franchise PG and still suck

Status update: Anytime he feels like it!

Congrats to TMZeeeeeee on being the 2nd leading points scorer in Cavalier history!

Nets Scrapbook:

New Jersey State of Mind

Yeah I'm out that Jersey
Now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to New York
But we'll be lottery-bound forever

We're the new epic fail
And since we're stuck here
We can make it brick 3's from anywhere
(Yeah they love to boo us from everywhere)

We used to go to the Finals
All of my 01-02 team, no lyin
Right there off of LA
Brought me back to the bright lights
We got ready to unleash the Van Horne
But instead we ended series early, on the plane home watchin porn


In Jersey!
Toxic jungle where dreams crush down,
There's not much you can do
Now you're in Jersey!
These streets will make you feel dirt sick
The lights will make you wish for death quick
Let's hear it for Jersey, Jersey, Jerseeeeeyyyy!

Catch me at the X with OG at a Nets game,
We made losing more famous than any team can

We got some cap room, that means we have it made
If LeBron's a "no", we'll ask Dwyane Wade

Great Moments From The Nets Marketing Department

The Nets Will Clothe You To Watch Games

And they don’t really care who you root for, so long as you show up. Understandably scandalized Nets fan Gerard writes in: “So what can an organization do when there are hardly any fans watching your team anyway? Besides removing ‘New Jersey‘ from their away jerseys, you assembly a ten game package with reversible jerseys! In that way, if the Bostons Celics come to town and Kevin Garnett has 5 blocks at halftime, you just switch your Yi jersey into a Garnett one! As a Nets fan I don’t want to wear a visiting team’s jersey! Come on now.”

For $25,000 Brook Lopez Will Come To Your House

For $25,000, the Nets are offering four courtside tickets for 10 games, parking, access to a private lounge at the Izod Center with free food and beverages and something more — a one-hour appearance by a Nets player of your choice at your home, office, school or party.

“It will be interesting to have an NBA player come to your birthday party or come to your bar mitzvah or even just coming to your house for dinner for an hour when your friends are over,” Nets chief executive Brett Yormark said. “That’s a terrific thing and it’s tough to put a price tag on it.”

Turning That 0-10 Start Upside Down!

“The Nets are mad as heck and they aren’t going to take it anymore. They hope their fans are, too. Having lost their first 10 games of the season, the Nets have announced a ‘10 Is Enough!’ promotion to boost attendance and hopefully give their team a lift. All season ticketholders will receive two extra tickets for Tuesday’s home game against the Indiana Pacers. The Nets are also selling some seats for $10 at the box office, while supplies last … ‘Even with the injuries, the entire team believes that ‘10 Is Enough.’ That’s why we are asking you, our loyal fans, to rally around your team like never before at Tuesday night’s game. So bring your enthusiasm, show your support, and let’s get our first win,’ Brett Yormark, the team’s chief executive, said in a statement.”

We Talkin Bout Practice Jerseys?

“The New Jersey Nets are the first NBA team to sell a practice jersey sponsorship, which will put the logo of PNY Technologies on practice uniforms this fall. The company, a flash-drive manufacturer based in Parsippany, N.J., also bought the naming rights to the Nets’ practice facility in East Rutherford, N.J., to be called the PNY Center as part of a two-year sponsorship agreement. Brett Yormark, president of Nets Sports & Entertainment, refused to comment on the value of the sponsorship. PNY officials would not disclose the specific value but said they are paying in the low six figures for the overall team deal.”

He Is The Most Interesting Man In The World...

Nets Owner Mikhail Prokhorov: Jet Ski Daredevil

http://rutube.ru/tracks/2029414.html?v=dee997d99958e9dd248975a28c208377&autoStart=true&bmstart=0

The Moscow News Weekly described him as “Russia’s most eligible bachelor.”He was satirized on a Russian TV commercial for his love of travelling the world in a private jet in the company of beautiful women.

Shady Past...

Prokhorov, who reportedly could also take over a majority stake in the team if a deal is reached, was arrested in January 2007 while on vacation at a French ski resort when police cracked down on a suspected prostitution ring. According to numerous reports at the time, Prokhorov told investigators that he flew beautiful women in from Russia because he enjoyed their company.

However, investigators suspected that Prokhorov had supplied the women as prostitutes to his wealthy friends and kept the billionaire in custody for several days before releasing him and dropping the charges. Prokhorov later told the French press that “my winter vacation in France was spoiled by local police, who arrested me and my friends without giving any reasonable explanations.” A Ratner spokesperson refused to comment on Prokhorov’s controversial past.

I'm pretty sure AV has thrown up a few buzzer-beating 3 attempts. So probably about 33% from 3 for him unfortunately. :thumbdown

1 for 19 in his career, all of which I'm assuming were with <2 seconds on the shot or game clock.

Im going to be at this game...Im pumped

Great game thread Powerslave!

BUT...with all the Photoshop work done, you couldn't put bolts in the side of Brook Lopez's neck? It would so complete the "Frankenstein" nickname.

This game has "LeCoast" all over it, and it might get us in trouble. It almost happened last time, so I'm really hoping we treat this team like the bottomfeeder that they are and put them away by the mid-way point of the third quarter. The Cavs 2010 resolution? No more losses to piss-poor teams! We've established we're an elite team, and that includes demolishing teams like the Nets.

I'm just talking about this season. I think he's a bout 1 of 3.

 

[Mike Manifesto]

If we don't win by 20+...

 

[InBoobieWeTrust]

New Jersey won tonight, so they can go back to sucking for about 15 more games.

Just get there, get the W, and move on.

 

[Walter White]

Yay. Another home game for LeBron and the Cavs.

Jay Z in attendence=LeBron getting 50
