Live courtside camera during shootaround: http://www.nba.com/live20/index.html

You would never guess from our shooting that our first and third quarters were apart of the same game. Career-high 17 assists for Farmar (8 in the first quarter), but he and the rest of the team turned the ball over way too much, 20 times to be exact. That included one right outside the final minute and one with about 30 seconds left. Brook did not get enough touches in the game. Period. I don't know if this should fall on Avery, or if it's a case of Deron being the only one who is capable of getting the ball to him in the post.

@Al_Iannazzone I wonder if our record in the next 3 games influences the decision.

Refer to my post in this topic: http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/topic/21547-what-if-deron-doesnt-sign-extension/page__view__findpost__p__245769 Along with the points in that post, this trade has woken this team up, whether or not Deron is on the court. There's a different energy level, and with an edited playbook, Lopez seems to be utilized in way more suited for his talents. Ticket sales have improved greatly. We've had five sellouts in six games. Deron has also mentioned multiple times his plans to try and recruit FA's this summer. There's not a whole lot more to ask for.

No doubt in my mind about that.

A-Rod with 11 homers in 11 games.

Got that right. I'd probably be rocking my D-Will t-shirt for the third time in the last week. I don't think it's a fluke. Ever since D-Will came, Outlaw has been showing the productivity late in games that he displayed in Portland.

Sasha met this kid before the February 28 game. Video

They beat us at the United Center in December. But they've lost 19 of their last 21 road games against Jersey.

D-James scheduled to start tonight! Ross expected to make his return as well. There were less than 1000 tickets available Tuesday. Another sellout tonight, and hopefully this is the best crowd support we get up to this point.

Morrow and Gaines cap off the third with one 3 each! 67-61 Jersey going into the fourth.

Fourth sellout in five games. Nets brought it close in the second quarter, and now the teams are going back and forth.

Go Knicks. I'll probably be saying that for six of their remaining games (two against Indiana, two against Milwaukee, one against Detroit, one against Charlotte).

Oh, and we're now 5.5 games back of the eighth seed with 18 games to go!

Farmar and Lopez combine for the last 26 points. Humphries with a career-best 20 boards, along with 19 points (perfect 8-8 from the field). We overcame a 20-point deficit from the second quarter into the third. There were multiple mentions in the post-game interviews about how the team we had earlier in the year wouldn't have been able to execute and bounce back the way these guys did tonight. 18,511 in attendance: arguably the best fan support we've received this season. Fans showed up a bit late (by the way, there's talks about changing the time back to 7:30), but we eventually filled up all but about 200 of the seats. Lopez's go-ahead shot in regulation was a beauty. The way he was able to create space when it appeared Jordan had him trapped shows how gifted a post-up player he is. Hump did an incredible job matching up with Griffin. Griffin fell one board shy of a double-double. Humphries also took two key charges late. He said the following earlier. Iannazzone Incredible job by Farmar. It seemed like he knocked down 3's at the perfect moments. Avery told him that practice would be over if he hit a three during the last practice, and he hit the shot. Got him ready for pressure situations tonight. 5 shots made from beyond the arc (24 points) and 7 assists. 24 points for Brook as well alongside 7 boards. Great effort all-around. You can see the change in Outlaw's game over recent games. Gaines has impressed with the energy he's been bringing to the floor.

Sullinger 2-12 FG, 16-18 FT. 20 points, 18 boards.

20 wins on the season, 16-16 at home, and a W3. We also avoid getting swept by Golden State for the third straight year.

First three-game winning streak since we had a four-game streak in February of 2009. Gaines got another 10-day contract and played extremely well in extended playing time today. Our offense got going almost as soon as he came on the court. I'm thrilled that Brandan Wright finally made his debut. If there's one good thing coming out of having only 10 healthy bodies, it's that Avery decided to give minutes to the new Nets. Wright needs to muscle up, but his athleticism was definitely showcased today.

Philly was up 5 with 2:19 left and went scoreless for the rest of regulation. Durant had a 2-point jumper and the game-tying 3 to send the game to OT.

Anyone see the end to the Rutgers-St. John's game? Rutgers should have had two free throws for delay of game and possession with 1.7-1.9 seconds left... if you don't take the over-the-back into account. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlOWkNBxlTo

Funny, I was thinking of the possibility of bringing him aboard as an assistant coach a couple days ago. He dismissed interest in the NBA last season. You wonder if he has his eyes open either to the head coaching job in Toronto or an assistant coaching spot in Jersey.

PS Move has been a much bigger hit than expected if that interests you. As for games, Killzone 3 and LittleBigPlanet 2 have both been very successful. You obviously can't go wrong with MLB '11.

Monta Ellis has scored Golden State's last 14 points. Two 3's in the final 11 seconds of regulation.
