PrintThe Nets bid farewell--fond or not--to the building they've called home since 1981 on Monday night. There are no closing ceremonies planned, other than a video presentation and a thank you to fans and the NJSEA. At some point in the near future, the banners will come down and be trucked to Newark and the Prudential Center. The Nets' next "home" game will be played in China when they and the Rockets will gather for a two-game exhibition series in October. Still, Monday's game will not be without at least one great irony: Larry Brown will be coaching the Bobcats Monday in the arena's last game. He coached the Nets in its first game. Larry Brown...NBA bookend.
The Bobcats are unlikely to give the Nets a break. Even if the Heat beat the Knicks Sunday, they will be only two games up on the 'Cats for sixth place with two games to go. So, hope remains for Charlotte. If they win both their final two games--over the Nets and the Bulls--and the Heat lose theirs--to the Sixers and the Nets--the Bobcats will sneak into sixth. They own the tie-breaker, a 3-1 series advantage over Miami. Speaking of advantages, the Nets hold a 2-1 advantage over the Bobcats. Jarvis Hayes hopes to play but his ankle sprain could keep him out both the Bobcat and Heat games. Keyon Dooling (groin) is questionable.

Larry Brown
Based on his track record, he is probably trying to figure out a way to get on Prokhorov’s payroll to become the highest paid coach in history. And able to bring in any player he wants.

i wish...
that there was no halftime. It seems that when we go in the locker room, we leave our game in there at the start of the third quater. We need a REAL coach that wont allow that
Maybe we should lose this game...
Just to be on the safe side… Knowing Nets history, they will review one of our close losses and rule we actually won the game. “Seems that one of the refs was seen accepting money from opponents coach during timeout”
Can't even spell "yes"... and I was spotted the "y and "e".
I hope these next few months pass quickly, or I might not make it.
lol that's pretty funny
David stern will reign as the puppetmaster and make sure the nets don’t have the best odds
Banners
“At some point in the near future, the banners will come down and be trucked to Newark and the Prudential Center.”
I got a kick out of this line. Trucked? I am a Nets fan, and I know that they have banners, but I could probably deliver those to Newark in my Murano.
I want to see a big crowd..
Anyone want to guess how many people there will be tonight? I know a lot of my friends and many people from Netsdaily are going.
