Preseason Game 1 - Nets @ Maccabi Haifa - Sunday, October 3, 7:00
The Nets really don't know much (anything?) about Maccabi Haifa, but they're enthused about getting started. They're say they're ready and they're healthy. Terrence Williams, who went down with a contusion Thursday, practiced Saturday and will play Sunday. Troy Murphy (groin strain) saw his first contact Saturday but will sit another day. Only undrafted rookie Brian Zoubek (back) looks like he'll be down for a while. Making matters worse, Avery Johnson says Johan Petro has been a big surprise. Johnson says he hopes to have players doing rotation minutes by the third or fourth preseason game.
For the Nets, there'll be some milestones, even if it's preseason. Johnson returns to coaching. Twelve players will be wearing a Nets uniform for the first time, including four rookies, led by top draft choice Derrick Favors and five free agent pick-ups: Petro, Travis Outlaw, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow and Joe Smith. One player to watch on Maccabi is rookie Sylven Landesberg, a Queens native who played for Virginia last year. Jeff Rosen, Haifa owner and a Jersey native, rooted for the Nets as a kid.

Technically Anthony Morrow was a S&T, not a FA, but I thought that Stephen Graham WAS a FA signing?
The difference is important because everything has to be translated into availability for a Melo trade!
Why are people randomly bringing up Melo EVERYWHERE?
give it a rest.
I do notice that the new profile names which came out of the woodwork have receded back into the dark night.
this is like when you were a kid and your mom had to talk to another grown up
you were asked to wait quietly.
These stories don’t deal with Melo and some of us are worn the explicative out.
@Paul G B
You sound like my Grandmother, lol one of her favorite sayings was: “children should be seen and not heard.” :)
whatsup aunt B heard that too often from mine too
The worst was during long trips to upstate NY or Reading PA.
Then they were surprised when I didn’t tell anyone I needed some new underwear.
Grandma’s can be annoying in that sweet old lady way.
"When I was a child I spake as a child...
I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
...or not YET.
(If Melo takes my tweet to heart).
I'm going to the game too
Courtside. Probably take a notebook and post my game summary come Monday morning. I’m jazzed about the upcoming season.
Bobby Simmons
OH NO! According to the preview on Maccabi Haifa’s website Bobby Simmond is expected to play for us. Odd that a player not even on our roster will play ha ha
yeah i just looked at the maccabi haifa's site nets game preview. totally incorrect information, its sorta funny.
Dwayne Harris
Trenton Hassel may also be playing
Alongside Murphey, Josh Bonn is supposed to be playing
Brian Zauvak
Brooks Lopez
among other things
Consequences will never be the same.

I also appreciated
I liked that they found it important enough to note that Chris Quinn is no longer on the team.
Any NetsDaily pregame plans?
This will be my first time going to the Prudential Center, otherwise I’d say, “Let’s all meet at Bill’s Pub”… I’m bringing my little bro who isn’t a basketball fan, so look out for the 6’8" guy with the Devin Harris jersey and the 6’5" guy who couldn’t care less…

its also my first time going to the “rock”, not quite familiar with the area as well, but that will soon change

Small Forward?
Hey…John From Long Island—-where were you last year, when we needed help at the 3?
Paul from Delray Beach
John you should work out.... then the Nets will give you a 10-day contract.
Please help us to defend Melo, thanks.
Anybody else going?
And how much is parking going to be? It usually cost $25 but will it be different for preseason?
~AC24
Just worth noting
That if this game is even close, we’ll be mocked all season for it.
Surprisingly important, but public perception standards.
Section 18, Row 7 at The Rock!
Let's see..
Macabbi is a Euro league “power house” (whatever that actually means) and we are the reigning laughing stock of the NBA….anything is possible!
