Around the Nets: Wednesday Edition

Deron Williams will miss tonight’s game to rest that sore left calf, and the way Colin Stephenson makes it sound, he may not play for the Nets again this season — and thus may not play for them ever again.

What’s that? You still want to watch tonight’s game? It’ll be on My9. Go, baseball season!

Avery Johnson is trying his damndest to pump up tonight’s Nets-Knicks game. Without Deron Williams and Jeremy Lin, though, luster lacks.

More from that article: “The Nets hope to have Gerald Wallace, who has missed the last four games with a strained hamstring, in the lineup. Johnson said the coaches would work Wallace out hard yesterday and if he came through that, and another workout this morning, okay, then he might play. The coach warned though, that ‘if there’s any sort of setback, (Wallace) won’t play.'”

If Anthony Morrow wants a shot at the free throw crown, he should start getting fouled a lot more — and quickly.

Your New Jersey Nets do rank well somewhere: they’ve got the the third-highest StubHub ticket sales in the NBA. Anyone that’s bought $2 lower-level seats understands why.

More from Avery: “I think early in the year (Jeremy) Lin kind of comes out and catches fire and then you have the ‘Linsanity’ stuff and everybody’s going crazy. Then Deron put the kibosh on that in the Garden.”

Easily my favorite tweet from the Nets photo shoot.

You’ll never guess what game Jake Simpson points to as LeBron’s case for cementing his MVP award.

Dom Valentino, a broadcaster for the Nets in 1975, has passed away at the age of 83.

Some nice words on Dennis Horner’s Springfield Armor stint. The closing ones, well, from himself. Horner will also be a summer league Nets invitee.
