Nets hired David Diamante, a Brooklynite, as their PA guy before this season. He's a longtime boxing announcer, so he's adjusting to basketball, but his voice should be great in Brooklyn.

"ALlennn Iversssson."

That's an awesome ad.

Who is your favorite NBA PA announcer? For me, it would be Mason (Pistons).

And this is why I don't believe in the idea that a losing team shouldn't have an all-star.

Shelden Williams gets limited minutes today due to a wrist issue, meaning Mr. Petro starts...

I feel like Arenas would wait until Dwight settles somewhere to sign with whichever team that is.

I don't even know.

Watching basketball and discussing it on message boards.

Burnett to Pittsburgh talks heating up. Looks like the Yankees are trying to save a couple million dollars of that contract for each year remaining.

Is this you?

Otterbasketball... OTR wannabes.

I don't appreciate that my signature was entered into the HSOTM running. It was a serious effort.

Yes... dominated. 1) Convinced that Deron is leaving. 2) Convinced that failing to get Dwight guarantees a Deron departure (because if ESPN says it, it must be true), only to see both Billy King and Deron Williams both deny it. 3) Convinced that Lopez's one year of unusually low rebounding statistics are indicative of his capabilities off the glass. 4) Under the impression that the Nets and Magic hadn't already completed a deal for Dwight. 5) Convinced that Lopez's absence is hardly a loss.

The birthday boy comes through in the clutch.

Lol.

Wow, we're not even halfway through the season, and this condensed schedule has already caused a number of health issues and concerns.

I blame Petro.

Please no. The guy can hardly run a message board.

Re-read what he wrote.... He's right. There were two, maybe three times where Lin actually got by D-Will without a high pick.

To be honest, I don't mind the Isles and Devils playing in the arena before the Nets start. The Nets would still be the first basketball team to play in there, and they weren't going to be the first event at the arena anyway (there is about a week of concerts to open up the building in late September).

Is no one watching this? Klay Thompson hit a game-tying three with 9 seconds left in regulation. Sacramento has scored the first five points of OT with 2:38 remaining.

Lol, I guess the frustration was focused on Outlaw and that ridiculous contract last season.

I feel the need to emphasize this because it just puzzles me... why does Avery feel the need to put Petro on the court for even three minutes. It's like he has to make sure Petro enters the game and does something ridiculous before he exits. Three minutes tonight, and still a turnover, a crucial one at that.
