N.J. — Deron Williams sat in front of his locker with both of his knees wrapped in ice and his foot in a tub full of ice water. He looked tired, and on Sunday night so did the Nets. Even the long-awaited return of Brook Lopez, and the much-needed post...
Karl Malone has eclipsed that 30 point, 10 rebound 60% shooting barrier only 137 times. It's also interesting to note that the Jazz were 109-28 in those 137 games. We often talk about Devin Harris being unfairly compared to Deron Williams or John...
MarShon Brooks was 3-for-14. Shelden Williams was 1-for-8. “We just missed shots, for whatever reason,” Brooks said. Lopez said his stamina felt fine but admitted he felt “a little” rusty. Midway through the first quarter last night, Deron Williams...
New Jersey blew a 30-20 lead after the first quarter in the loss. Point guard Jeremy Lin led the Knicks with 25 points as he hit on 10 of 19 from the floor. New York made 44.6% of their shots. The Nets shot 41.7% from the floor in the loss and were led...
Gasol. Move him and get us our next pieces, or pull him off the block and let him play, unburdened. Still, I'm not sure what Kobe accomplished. His words don't fundamentally change the team's ability to make a trade involving Pau. It's not like they...
“I don’t know, I don’t know,” Collins replied when asked what he saw on Minnesota’s final possession. “We are four stops away from having 24 wins. We have had four games like that and we have lost four of them. Deron Williams, Chris Paul, today and...

Antonio. The 6-foot-10 forward from Turkey fouled out with 1:07 to play after being the difference maker all night, including a key 3-pointer with 4:56 to play after the Nets cut a 16-point deficit to seven. Brandon Jennings added 17 points as the Bucks...

Centre on Saturday. New Jersey (9-23), taking advantage of the absence of NBA MVP Derrick Rose who missed his fifth straight game due to back pain, opened up a 22-3 lead five minutes into the game and never trailed as they handed the Bulls (25-8) just...
“We did what we felt we had to do, not because we wanted to do it.” Bu added that the Mavericks, “wouldn’t have been champions without Tyson.” He said he was rooting for the soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets — believed to be a primary suitor vying for Deron...
He could be a solid role player for years to come. All-star elections have largely become team awards, so the whole team gets a nod here with Iguodala representing the team in Orlando next Sunday. The Sixers played decently late, but couldn’t stop the...
Which is why I'm in favor of using the cap space to trade for someone or banking the space for a later date. Cap space is great and all, as long as you use it right. No we can not miss out on deron Williams or D12 we need both of them and that will be...
In his first three seasons in the league, Lopez has averaged 17.4, 7.6 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. In the 2010-11 season he averaged 20.4 points per game. Having Lopez back will open up the offense for everyone. Submit Vote vote to see results...
Well, that and the fact the Nets jumped to a 22-3 lead, snapped an eight-game losing streak and the Bulls’ vaunted defense allowed Deron Williams to shred them for 29 points and eight assists and Kris Humphries to post 24 points with 18 rebounds. “You...
Chicagos Derrick Rose missed his fifth straight game because of back pain, and the Nets took advantage, jumping out to a 22-3 lead while rolling to their first victory since Feb. 1. The lopsided win wasnt the only good news for New Jersey. Coach Avery...
"We were contesting shots. Getting after it." The Bulls had won seven of eight, but the way they were rushing shots and slacking off on defense, they never had a chance. For once, they looked like a team that was missing its star. Rose remained day to...
His 3 with 25 seconds to go in overtime broke a 98-all tie. Tim Duncan had 11 points and 17 rebounds for the Spurs, who improved to 6-0 on their annual rodeo trip that includes nine games. Blake Griffin had 22 points and 20 rebounds for the Clippers. ...

It wasn't a very good one for me ... It was fun to be back in the building and fun to see all my ex-teammates. ... We just didn't have any legs. They looked like a fresh team. They were beating us to loose balls, getting offensive rebounds. They just looked a lot more energized than we did.
Three months is a long time, and I had close friendships with my teammates ... I am sure I will miss them. I was thinking I would stay here until the end of the year.
I don't want to jinx myself -- knock on wood -- but my wrist is so much better from where it was the last year and a half
The best part about the game was how the fans really got into it
My last game for Besiktas was last Friday
