HIGHLIGHT: Andrei Kirilenko Tackles Referee in Nets Game
Andrei Kirilenko is as kinetic as a basketball player gets; his arms flail about purposefully, his body in constant motion on both ends of the floor. Sometimes, his eagerness works against him, sending him just a bit faster than his body normally allows — and even then, he still tries to make the right play […]FUNNY: Joe Johnson Throws Pass Into Stands, Hits Unsuspecting Fan In The Head
After scoring 26 points in the first quarter against his former Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Johnson saw a fair amount of double-teams in the third quarter.

At least Teletovic hit two threes in the […]So It Turns Out Writing About The Nets As Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Has Its Advantages
So, you may or may not remember that I did the most ridiculous thing I’ve done on this site last week; after a lengthy discussion on Twitter, I wrote up a deep comparison casting different members of the Brooklyn Nets as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was an incredibly important addition to basketball’s analytical canon, […]My Dinner With Andray

“It’s bad enough when he does it at home, but when we’re all playing in somebody else’s arena, it embarrasses us in front of the other team,” said Nets forward Gerald Wallace, adding that on several occasions he’s caught Williams drooling all over the ball while leading a fast break. “Not only is it gross, […]
