Nets Open with Homestand

PrintThe Nets will open the 2010-11 season with a four game homestand against the Pistons, Kings, Heat and Bobcats. The Halloween game vs. Miami will be a 1:00 p.m. matinee. The Nets will then head to Florida to play the Magic and the Heat again, meaning the Nets will play two of its first six games against the "Three Kings".
Among the other highlights: The World Champion Lakers make their lone Garden State appearance on Sunday, December 12 for an afternoon contest at 1:00 p.m., while the Knicks make their first of two Newark appearances on Saturday night, February 12, with a return engagement on Friday night, April 8. All night games will begin at 7:00 p.m., rather than 7:30.
John Wall and Yi Jianlian will lead the Wizards into the Prudential Center on Thursday, December 16. Jason Kidd will bring the Mavericks in for their lone matchup of the season on Saturday, January 22, while Richard Jefferson and the Spurs will play the Nets on Monday, February 14.
The schedule has a number of oddities, Dave D'Alessandro reports: 22 back-to-backs, which might not be a big problem for a young team; after that first homestand, 24 of the next 37 games are on the road, which almost certainly will be a problem; and a stretch around the All-Star Break and London Games where they'll play five games over 20 days, which is just plain weird.

Well i'm expecting a 3-1 start
The pistons are very beatable, the kings can be handled, the heat will be an utmost embarassment, while the bobcats… Well we just have their number, we beat them

you do realize muwu that we're also beatable
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
Of course we are
Any team in the nba can beat us. But the pistons and kings aren’t exactly heavyweights, and the bobcats still can’t score

Nice, I'll be there for the home opener
Not sure I’ll attend that Three Kings game. Seems like resale value on that could be pretty good since it’ll be the first time they are in the NY market.
Knicks don’t get them until Dec 17th.
We play the knicks at the rock on my BDay!
You know what i want my present to be.
And so said the old man!
I'll be interested to see what his return gets.
Probably a ton of boos
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
Stay classy guys.
Yi knows we all supported him with all our hearts. LOL, Hey, at least a former Net gets to play with John Wall.
Ima try to go to
The home opener, vs Heat, and vs Cleveland lol
It looks like the NBA want the Nets to start off well
Four home games to start off, three of which aren’t world beaters,
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
First 4 games= CRUCIAL!
I can’t stress enough how the first 4 games are going to be crucial for the NETS. They must aim for nothing less than a 3-1 finish to the home stand. Its important to get off to a positive start, but also because they then go to Florida for 2 games against the Magic and Heat and then a few games later go on a West Coast trip. They must look at these 4 games and play them like they have something to prove.

Good Post
I agree we should start 3-1 but i wouldnt think Bobcats is a victory its going to be a hard gm
IMO if we start 2-2 or 3-1 going into Florida series were in good Hands, I can see 4-4 start easily and i guess thats nota bad start, if we start 1-3 then im going to think this team will have a long season because we need to start off on a good term because after those 4 gms at home we play alot of good teams

I think even more crucial then the first four games
Are the pre season games, I think we need to start that winning mindset there, last year we lost in the summer league preseason and regular season smh.
Good point.
People dismiss pre season games a lot. That’s a load of BS if you ask me. Winning in the pre season can certainly suggest a winning mindset, as you said.

THIS IS BS!
we only have 39 home games this year…those london games are our 2 home games…it shouldve been home and home vs the raptors why do we get penalized?
+1
I saw it too, hopefully its a mistake
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
Give the international fans a break
Local fans get access to nba 41 regular season games every year. The 2 they’re gonna watch in london are gonna be first local live nba game they will have watched in their lifetimes. Some international fans have never seen a live nba game before, so cut them some slack before we start exploding about TWO whole games
by muwu on Aug 10, 2010 3:38 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
But for people who have season tickets...
thats two less home games
"Everything looks nicer when you win. The girls are prettier, the cigars taste better. The trees are greener."
Well they did say you can get your money back for them
It’s two games, it’s probably never going to happen again, so no big deal. You get 39 whole games besides those 2! For them, that two is the only ones they get to watch. The rest they’re gonna have to stay up past midnight to see or download illegally
by muwu on Aug 10, 2010 3:43 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
And add to that that it's two games against the raptors
Not like it’s a marquee opponent. It’s not gonna be the most exciting of teams to play against anyway
by muwu on Aug 10, 2010 3:47 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Agree that is totally
messed up that it’s both our home games. Should have been one from each team. Any Nets fan that wants to watch them play the Nets better get your plane tickets and paper work ready.
I will be.
Hopefully there’ll be a few like minded Nets fans nearby.
I think its Nets home one and Raptors Home the other gm i dont think were the home team both games i think its split so we would have 40 gms at home in US and 40 gms on the Road in US and 1 and 1 in London

No it's not
They are both Nets home games. Ticket reps have confirmed this with a few people.
this should have been the start of something in great
The Nets finally have a New Jersey community to rally around and have support them. Public transportation, bars and restaurants in the direct vicinity of the arena and yet we are being teased with a 2-year stay, one of which may not even have many games if the expected lockout occurs.
will you be going to any games @ the Rock?
Or no becasue the Nets are only here for two years…
If you are, I’d like to meet up with you for a beer
-Say man when I was growing up we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub.

NetsDaily is the closest thing to a community I have ever felt for this team. And we’re what, 200 strong?
I suspect there are a lot more people who read Netsdaily...
But don’t comment. There the smart ones. LOL
Look at the bright side our 200 strong beats the heat 78 i believe they got

I feel like I'm still going to see
Those red chairs when I watch heat games, fair weather fans to the max.
they sold outa any kind of season places
once the rumor of LeBron to Miami was first mentioned, yr long sellouts await them
I will see a few games in Newark
because I don’t want to regret missing the last chances I will likely have to see my favorite team in all of sports before being swept off the face of the earth. But no – I won’t be meeting any people that support Prokhorov/Ratner/Yormark for a beer.
Why not?
because I support the move to Brooklyn I am a bad person?
I’d like to have a beer with you to discuss some things not on a message board where others can chime in…
Seriously dude I’m not a bad guy, just have different views than you do
-Say man when I was growing up we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub.
you know me all too well lol
horrible person I am!
-Say man when I was growing up we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub.
Fair enough NetLogic
but to be honest I am not looking forward to the games in Newark becuase it does appear our stay there will be short-lived and it’s a true shame. I haven’t really enjoyed supporting this team for the past 6 years due to Ratner and now Prokhorov and yet I continue to hold out hope that somehow this will all work out.
That being said, I am not a bad guy either – I just really care about this team as long as it plays as the New Jersey Nets.
everyone knows you care......
but you beat yourself up, and to an extent, other fans over something that can be fruitless. There have business minds working on this. If NJ was truly profitable, they’d find a way to stay in NJ.
Beers it is!!!
Woooo I get to be the first to have a beer with Isaac!!!
suck it dolla bills :)
-Say man when I was growing up we wanted a Jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub.
It's a beautiful thing

Why won’t you meet any1 could it be that you don’t go to games at all and just act like u are a fan of this team…

I have been to close to 200 games in 20 years - home and road included
guessing that is more than you Asent?
You could throw any number out there my man..but to say that the reason you won’t go to many games in Newark cause they are moving in 2 years is BS

The nets sent emails out to season ticket holders
They are both home games
We can trade them in for other games, get our money back for them, or use them for extra tickets to the “meet the new team” event coming up in sept/oct

How could it possibly NOT BE a home and home if both teams are travelling to London during the regular season???
season tixs holders and the 2 lost games in london
i just got off the phone with my rep and she told me those 2 games will be credited
Boohoo season ticket holders, you lost two whole games

I have us beating the following good teams:
Utah on the road
Boston at home
Dallas on the road
New Orleans just about every time we play them
I have us beating Phoenix almost every time we play them ( not sure if they would be considered “good” anymore though)
Boston at home again
Houston at home
That’s probably more good teams than I should have allowed, but I had us losing to just as many bad teams as we beat good teams, so it cancels out.
Nice job giacomo...
But I would love it if you repeat this exercise the day before our first game. Copy down your predictions and revise them then. Should be interesting…
nice
I shave about two wins off of that total, but that’s a fair guess at the record.

Now I’ll find out what games I’ll get with my season plan and which ones I’ll need to buy
Sunday matinee games during...
the NFL season kinda suck.
Especially when the Jets are playing at home at 1pm, that is where I will be. Maybe I can at least get face value for my Nets tix forthis one though. BTW, I checked, the Devils have a 6 game road trip which helps explains the Nets opening homestand.

over the last 12 games
the Nets were 5-7…even with Kiki as coach and a bunch of bad, bad players.
If they hadn’t lose in overtime to Miami on the last game of the season, they would have played .500 ball.
During that “run”, they beat the Spurs, the Bulls, the Pistons, the Kings and the Hornets…by 28 points.
If this team cant get to .500 for the season, with the various improvements they’ve made, I will be disappointed and surprised.
They played much better after the All-Star break, but coming close to .500 ball for a short stretch does not mean they are a .500 club.
I can’t look at the roster and see 41 wins. But, here’s hoping you are right and I am wrong…. Or that we make a great trade and never find out.
Wow. What a shocking post. It is too bad that you are setting yourself up for disappointment. The Kings and Pistons were bad teams. Paul was horrible coming back from surgery. Pop let RJ take on the Nets pretty much by himself. The only somewhat quality win was against the Bulls who didn’t seem to match up well with the Nets.
