We are trying out a new gizmo -- which will feature Devin and our other writers commenting on the game in real time. And you can join the conversation!
Look down in the lower right of your screen. You should see a little icon for "NowTalk." Click on that and open up the chat box.
You can follow along as our writers pontificate and crack wise, and join in yourself. You have to sign in using one of your social media registrations, or you can register anew through NowTalk. Obviously, if you join the conversation be civil (unless its about the Knicks, in which case you can be rude).
This is a beta version so let us know what bugs you find.
We need help letting the world know about The Brooklyn Game. If you're interested in sports marketing (or digital marketing in general) and would like to join this merry band, please send a note and resume to steven@thebrooklyngame.com
We need an intern to work with our super photo editor, Nicole Sweet, on various photo projects -- creating galleries, imagining new features and using social media to promote our work. You don't have to be an actual photographer (though if you are, this could be a good platform for you). If you're interested please send a note and resume to Nicole -- NicoleSweetPhoto@gmail.com
The Brooklyn Game's own Devin Kharpertian, who is generally uncomfortable speaking in the third person but makes it work for the sake of self-promotion, will be on web show HoopSpeak Live today, talking about the malaise that is the Brooklyn Nets. The show begins at 3:00 P.M., and Devin will be on around 3:10.
As the show begins at 3 P.M. EST, there's no link available now, but the show is broadcast live on HoopSpeak. So go there and refresh it around 3:00 to see my -- er, Devin's mug, chat with the hosts and Devin, ask questions, and generally engage in enjoyable discussion about a currently-not-so-enjoyable franchise.
Firstly, thanks so much for visiting this new Brooklyn Nets site! Devin and his band of merry contributors are working hard every day to get you the finest Nets news & analysis you'll find on the web, but they can't do it alone. So we’re looking for you -- people who love the Nets, Brooklyn, and building a exciting new enterprise:
Editorial Interns – We’re looking for people to help with a variety of regular editorial duties including writing, creation of photo galleries, research, help with our forums, etc. We’re happy to work with your school to help you get credit, but if that doesn’t work we promise that you’ll get solid editorial experience on the most fun topic you’ll ever get to cover. E-mail devin@thebrooklyngame.com
Advertising Sellers – We’re looking for a Brooklyn-based advertising sales rep to work w/ local merchants. Commission+ stock options. E-mail steven@thebrooklyngame.com
Marketing Interns – Apparently there’s The Twitter and The Google and Instafacebook and all sorts of other social media inventions needing attention on the Internet. We need interns with a head for marketing and business to help us promote the site and the great work being done by all the contributors. E-mail steven@thebrooklyngame.com
Contributors – Do you have a piece you’d like to write about the Nets, Brooklyn, basketball, or anything that would be of interest to our readers? We’d love to see it. We pay the princely sum of nothing. Well, nothing in the traditional sense of “money,” but we do offer gratitude, fame and the appreciation of Nets fans all over the word. E-mail devin@thebrooklyngame.com
Artists – We could use your help continuing to bring the Brooklyn Nets to life visually and technologically. E-mail steven@thebrooklyngame.com

So, some of you may be thinking right now, "Where am I? I just went to NetsAreScorching.com, my favorite Nets site for news, analysis, and Cialis medication, and for some reason I'm at this new website! I fear change!"
Some of you may have come here never having heard of Nets are Scorching -- and are maybe now intrigued by the Cialis -- but are curious about this new phenomenon known as the Brooklyn Nets.
You're both in the right place. Welcome to The Brooklyn Game, a comprehensive new site dedicated to the on-court and off-court evolution & impact of the Brooklyn Nets. A great city with a professional team deserves a world-class website, and The Brooklyn Game includes the full archives from Nets are Scorching and some of its staff -- but has added many new elements.
The Brooklyn Game brings you everything Nets are Scorching did -- including hardcore X's-and-O's basketball analysis, links to the best Nets talk around the web, interviews -- and more:

Gotta pay for Fisher's $22,000 watch somehow. RT @KBergCBS: Billy Hunter sues NBPA, Derek Fisher for defamation, BoC. http://t.co/yTi1OvVxFz One question about Brian Shaw: he's been the "next assistant to get a HC job" guy for a half-decade now. Then why is he still an assistant?
