Stefan Bondy Completely escaped my mind to post this. Deron's family has reportedly been house-hunting in Jersey. D-Will and Billy King also text regularly about names to go after this offseason. Good signs.

Yeah, the team seemed to shy away from talking about Prokhorov's playoffs guarantee shortly before the season. There were several periods during the season in which the situation was a huge letdown for fans, particularly the continuous struggles to get a superstar.. I remember reading an article from Woj a couple days before January 21, saying that Prokhorov would be considered a joke if he didn't come out of a meeting with Anthony with an extension agreement (the article was peculiar, not Woj's typical writing style). Prokhorov took a different route on January 21, though, one that made him look like anything but a joke. The Nets eventually dove back into the Melo talks, and even though they lost the battle to get him, they forced a high cost for the Knicks. Two days after Melo was dealt to New York, Jersey traded for a more valuable player at a cheaper price.

I posted a couple of the videos I recorded from our section: Link (NetsDaily)

Three rough outings for Hughes in three games. Colon did another fantastic job in extended relief. Joba prevented the deficit from worsening with a nice block at the plate on a wild pitch. He ended up saving a first and third, one out, jam and then pitched a clean ninth inning. Rivera took care of the tenth with seven pitches. Our offense fought back from a 5-0 deficit after five innings. Perfect night at the plate for A-Rod, and there was production through almost the whole lineup.

There goes the no-no on a bloop double.

I posted on the NetsDaily game thread to start an Al Iannazzone (Nets beat writer for the Bergen Record) chant, so we did. @Al_Iannazzone @susssez NBA.com Post Game Recap

The Loud and Proud section is buzzing! We got a couple shoutouts and a set of gifts: Deron face poster, Nets poster, and Nets cap.

I got tickets for the eighth and final team this season. Who knows if this is the last Nets home game before we move to Brooklyn. This is the offer I purchased them through: http://www.netsdaily.com/2011/4/6/2094880/loud-proud-section-part-2-last-home-game

Brook had 39 points with 9:50 to go in the game, and he took three shot attempts (including one tip shot attempt) for the rest of the game. He was having arguably the most dominant game of his career, and we seemed to just stop feeding the ball. Most points scored by a Nets center since Mike Gminski had 41 points 25 years ago. Lopez was the only starter playing in this game. Deron visited a hand specialist, Ammo traveled with the team but was hurt, and James and Humphries have been out.

I'm thrilled that the team is headed to Brooklyn. Our attendance last decade was never higher than 18th in the league. As much as I enjoy going to Nets games frequently and conveniently (especially this season at the Prudential Center), playing in the league's most expensive arena in Brooklyn, possibly alongside Deron Williams, is something that catches the eye of free agents and big names. It may take some time for the arena to sell out, but over time, we may develop an extended fanbase there. There are people who are disappointed in the Nets leaving, but they shouldn't be unhappy about the team promoting the move. Our FO is doing what they feel is best to keep their superstar and facilitate succeeding early on at a new home.

I'm not saying straight up that the Yankees didn't bring him back because of bullpen management. You were asking where Cashman was in relation to Torre's managing of the bullpen, and the quote I posted is clear indication that Cashman didn't defend him when his job was on the line. A key contributor to that may have been poor relief management.

Deron hits the game-winning jumper with Beasley missing the potential game-winning 3 at the buzzer. Nets escape after losing a 16-point lead.

No Ammo, Humphries, Uzoh, or Love along with those already inactive. Game not being televised on YES due to the Yankee game. Lopez and D-Will with super double-doubles. Williams has 16 points, 21 assists; Lopez 30 points, 12 boards.

12 HRs at Yankee Stadium this year, and we're in the third inning of the third game.

Ichiro broke the Mariner hit record with a go-ahead infield single in the ninth inning in Oakland (2247 hits).

CBS Sports Congrats to Larry K. Nets now need to look for a big man coach, but at the same time, I hope there's a spot for Messina.
