Uh, it's better than what most of us thought it could turn out to be. Lopez's return to yesterday's game was changed from probable to questionable, and Avery didn't say anything about the X-rays on his ankle after the game, even though they had already been completed. An ankle sprain sidelining him for three weeks really shouldn't have any bearing on a potential trade for Dwight.

Yep, there aren't exactly a whole lot of alternatives.

Certainly could have been worse. This seems completely unrelated to the previous injury. We'll see how Orlando handles the situation now. Should be interesting.

Meet Avery and this unpredictable supporting cast. Just hoping Lopez is okay. Crucial situation right now.

Crazy, I was watching Deron Williams' 50-point game with Beşiktaş right before this game started.

How many years before we see the team that finishes tied for second in the WC, wins game 163, wins the one-game playoff, and goes all the way?

I hope the Nets do away with their mascot when they move to Brooklyn.

Bobby Valentine is a moron.

Absolutely ridiculous... as soon as this team begins to succeed on the court, it turns its back on its most loyal fan of more than ten years. It makes no sense how the management didn't want "Clipper" to be part of his identity... they used him in their own advertisements.

WOW, best half of basketball I've seen from this team all season.

Broooooooooooooooook!

I extracted the two Nets-related parts (and also the part where Stern owned the hack, Chris Sheridan).

Dwight inbounded the ball to Deron!!! Play of the game right there.

He had some terrible shooting performances, and his fourth quarters were rough. Sent from my HTC.

Not sure where this goes, but in a press conference, Stern basically praised the Nets for their work with the Barclays Center, said that Dwight going to Brooklyn would make the Nets-Knicks rivalry amazing, and responded to a question from Brian Schmitz (Magic reporter) by saying that a team shouldn't be a prison for a player, since it already has an advantage over the player's contract for the first seven years of his career.

He took a little over a minute in his campaign video with Golden State (can't find it, but most people have seen it). It's not a bad idea to go at a comfortable pace rather than go quickly and feel unnatural with your shot.

Surprised Ammo struggled, but I love the Petrovic tribute. http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/p/sp/getty/22/fullj.d39608f864d77c6b04158c8f8b30372e/d39608f864d77c6b04158c8f8b30372e-getty-139925733.jpg http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/anthony-morrow-drazen-petrovic1-530x346.jpg Hope he's in it again next year.

History made: the Shooting Stars Challenge was not the most boring competition.

Toronto was also ridiculous during the first few VC returns.

That wasn't exactly the case last season.
