Will the First European Owner Show Up at the First European Game?

PrintOne would think so. The NBA officially announced the Nets and Raptors will face off in London on March 4 and 5, the first regular season games ever in Europe. One reason the Nets were chosen: Mikhail Prokhorov isn't just the first Russian owner of an American sports franchise. He's also the first European owner. No word yet from Moscow on whether they'll be revving up the Gulfstream.
The Nets owner did comment on the scheduling...without saying whether he'll be on hand: “Along with our preseason games in China in October, the games to be played in London next March demonstrate my commitment to bringing the NBA experience to international fans and making the Nets the first global team in the NBA."
The NBA is promoting the games as battles between "young and exciting teams" and "historic". It also sounds an optimistic note for fans in Toronto and Newark (and Brooklyn and Moscow, too). The league press release notes the back-to-back program comes late in the season, at "a crucial time as the NBA heads for the playoffs."
ESPN isn't so optimistic. A survey of the network's "93 best basketball minds" has the two teams finishing last in the East with identical 27-55 records. The O2 Arena in London will host the games. It's one of the few NBA-ready arenas on the continent and the basketball venue for the 2012 London Olympics. Tickets go on sale September 1. There's been no announcement yet on whether the games will be televised...or at what time.

I look forward...
…to giving Toronto a solid thrashing in front of our friends across the ocean.
"No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on...I will be sitting on it."
as for the timing
I assume these games will be timed so they can be seen at reasonable hours in Toronto, New York AND Moscow.
tip off will be in the evening on Friday 4th March
Considering the time difference is five hours between London and the Eastern coast of the U.S they will try and play this game as late as possible on Friday 4th March in London. But on Saturday i guess they could play so that it was an afternoon game in the U.S. It is a little strange they couldn’t schedule games for Friday and Sunday to give the players more time off. However, i guess AEG the owners of the o2 arena have such a tight schedule as this arena sells more tickets than any other arena in the world. Having been there multiple times for various events it is a tremendous facility unmatched throughout Europe.

I can't wait to buy tickets
I am from London and going to spend heavily to buy courtside tickets. My closest friend is Canadian and a huge Raptors fan (how humiliating, ha ha) and his birthday is a few days later so i’ll be buying him courtside tickets too. I can’t wait for the Nets to beat the Raptors in London.

Mikhail Prokhorov in the hizzou
I absolutely believe Mikhail Prokhorov will be in attendance at these games – as they will gather a lot of media interest. Basketball is getting onto the backpages on occasion now because of Luol Deng representing team GB, this was never the case before. And the Wembley game has been so successful for the NFL that I’m sure the success will be repeated for the NBA. The only thing i’m not convinced is the back to back format of games. of course this had to be done for logistics but they are going to have to market these games hard to ensure that there are two sell outs (with both teams playing each other twice within two days which never happens in UK sports normally).

It depends on
our standing by that time. If we are winning and not embarrassing ourselves, he may well attend.
I don’t know what to expect. Waiting to see the pre-season games to gauge the potential.
NBA fans are confused…
Nets and Raptors…why?
finally nets are envied…just a little

I have tickets in the second row by the court
which were about 40% cheaper than being one row nearer right on the front. i think i made the most astute decision financially and i’ll still have one of the best views in the house to see my Nets beat my friend’s Raptors!

Playoff
I see 5 teams making playoffs no matter what and Bucks also will make the playoffs so that leaves two spots to fight. I don’t see Kinicks making ahead of likes of Wizards.
Teams definitely making playoffs:
1. Orlando
2. Miami
3. Boston
4. Chicago
5. Atlanta
Most probably would make playoffs:
6. Milwaukee
Fighting for last two spots:
1. Charlotte
2. Washington
3. Philadelphia
4. New Jersey
5. New York
The Bucks are a lock, not “probably.”
NY is on the verge of a lock, def in the probably.
I see us as the final spot.
What NY has
that to say they are almost lock? Amare??? He cannot alone carry that team. From the starting five they’ve, he is the only one better than what we have, at least for now but we’ve a better bench.
They dropped a guy who isnt as good a scorer(ON THAT TEAM – thats the key) for a guy who can score, and has played in the system. They added a PG, they added Randolph, and they added Azubuike. All those additions, coupled with the fact they already won last year way more then us, and the fact that they are in the east where we wont see the Raptors and the Cavs in the playoffs… yeah I see no reason why they will be so bad. Get off you Net high horses guys. You dont have to like the Knicks, but they got better.
I see them and NJ in the bottom.
well....
…yes, they did get better.
And despite the doomsday cries on here, so did we.

And...
…the Knicks winning more than us last year has nothing to do with anything. We beat them TWICE last year, one of those games via blow out.
I don’t have a lick of respect for The Knicks, their style of play, or their front office/coach. They got Amare. Cool. I bet that we still bring it to them on both ends of the floor.

1. Charlotte
2. Washington
3. Philadelphia
4. New Jersey
5. New York
Charlotte lost their PG. Washington is too young, Philly is still a mess. You guys mean to tell me that the Knicks dont have a chance there? I mean I am one of the biggest Net homers you will find but I can see that Felton, Azubuike, Gallinari, and Amare are immensely better then what they had. The key again is… in that system. On our team, stick it, but Dantoni is the coach. He is putting together a team he wants, regardless if you guys like that style of play.
Washington is
much better than people think given that Arenas is back playing ball instead of guns. Check their projected starting five:
Wall
Arenas
Howard
Blatch
McGee
With an improved bench. I know Howard will not be back till December.
Zero?
They’ve Hinrich, Thornton, Nick Young and our own Yi. Check their roster:
ok… one decent roster spot. Hinrich. The rest are BAD. Young doesn’t impress me. He will always be someone who has more talent then he puts to use.
yeah Al Thornton isn't bad at all

Hes just another one of those players has had just one single good year, and his rep is inflated because of it.

Al Thorton is 6'8 and can acore from 25 feet and in...lol
I actually like him at the 3 and he is younger.
The JETS/NETS are coming!
they had Lee and Gallinari last year
they want to trade Chandler. cant find any takers…in spite of Knick fans who believe he is special. He isn’t. He’s a dime a dozen wingman.
D’Antoni is mucho overrated…and Felton is not Steve Nash which will diminish Amare’s game.
I like Turiaf and if Randolph takes off, they will be fine, but as for them being a lock or near lock for the playoffs, I don’t see it.
a dime a dozen wingman
who recently got popped for having a a few “dimes” on him, if you catch my drift.

New York is by no means a lock or near a lock
I dont understand the hype. They dumped a 20-10 guy and got a 20-10 guy with bad knees and a torn retina.
Otherwise, Raymond Felton, Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Rony Turiaf, Timofey Mozgov, Andy Rautins and Landry Fields are better than Derrick Favors, Jordan Farmar, Damion James, Travis Outlaw, Anthony Morrow and Johan Petro?? Really? Heck, Sean May is a better bet than Eddy Curry.
As I have said before, the difference between a Nets fan and a Knick fan is this: a Net fan thinks signing a 7’1" 24-year-old French center for $10 million over three years is a disaster while a Knick fan thinks signing a 7’1" 24-year-old Russian center for $9 million over three years is a vote for the future.
one would assume...
….that they’ve assembled an ALL NBA Caliber cast, while we have a group of talent that would barely make it in the D League by the way people talk around here.
Even without adding another PF I believe that the Nets can beat the brakes off of the Knicks…just like we did last year when they lost twice to a 12 win team.

1. The guy played 82 games last year, and your citing his retna!? The possibility of Lopez getting injured is no better or worse then Amare. Would you rather have Lee or Amare? Lee. Now lets rephrase that, on a D’antoni coached team, would you rather have Lee or Amare? Ill take Amare.
2. You wont see half of those guys in the rotation, so why even mention them? Bringing Chandler and Douglas off the bench, possibly Randolph… is not a team you guys should be completely stepping all over. I can see an 8 man rotation on the Knicks.
they cant get insurance for him
shouldn’t that tell you something about him? How many other players are in that situation? No other team offered him the max. NO ONE. Great player, but a big risk.
He is not that much better than LEE. That is my point…in fact, he may not be as good as Lee.
Do you watch Amare? Its not like a CP3/Chandler connection where every bucket the guy makes is an ally-oop… its the pick and roll, and Amare is usually met with collapsing D. The guy can flat out score, with or without Nash. Do you forget what Amare maybe means to Nash as well? Check out his assist numbers before he joined Amare, they aren’t that spectacular. In fact, one might say they are very Devin Harris like.
Nash is a superior playmaker to Devin Harris
lets not go there
I think you’re missing the point that NI is bringing up about the Knicks not being able to get insurance for Amare’s contract. That is a massive red flag, meaning someone found something(s) that could become a problem during the course of the deal.

Man I dont care about insurance… forget injuries, they are totally unpredictable. For all we know he could very well pull a Grant Hill and play full season after full season. For all we know he could never play again just the same.
The real argument is that apparently without Nash, Amare is no better then an average PF who wont know how to score. I have never been a huge fan of Nash, and I strongly feel he is a product of the D’antoni system. Its not that he is bad, obviously, but when you shoot within 3 seconds or whatever the number was, its kind of hard to not rack up assists, which is again why he was no more then an 7-8 assist a game PG until he got to the Sun’s.
Steve Nash led the league in assists last season, without D’Antoni on board
as far as this goes:
Man I dont care about insurance…
It’s not about the fact that you care about it, it’s the fact that you’re looking past a valid point: There is something wrong with Stoudemire so severe that it is to the point where his contract cannot be insured.

SO given that, we wont be seeing Amare much longer. I dont buy it Im sorry.
And Nash led the League in assists last year on the Suns, under Gentry. Exactly. This could also just fit right in to what I said about Nash needing Amare more then Amare needs Nash.
And Nash led the League in assists last year on the Suns, under Gentry. Exactly. This could also just fit right in to what I said about Nash needing Amare more then Amare needs Nash.
that proves nothing.
Nash averaged 18 and 10 in ’05-06, a year in which Stoudemire played like 3 games.

True
When they make movies, especially action movies, all the actors get insured for injuries. So if there’s an accident on the set, the insurance pays the hospital bills, etc. Also, if the movie director is really old, the studio will make sure to insure the director in case of death, because death would obviously stall the production and incur a lot of wasted production time and resources, i.e. money.
Now, if you can’t get a star insured or a director or whatnot, that is almost always because there is something known involved that is risky. To use a commonplace example, when Jackie Chan first came to America to make American movies, e.g. Rush Hour, he wanted to do all his own stunts like he did in China, but insurers wouldn’t let him to do so or else they wouldn’t insure him. So he had to compromise and scale back on the stunts and use a stunt double.
The point is this principle carries across many industries. If there is some known risk involved and yet risk-incuring party is willing to forgoe insurance, that is a sign the non-insured party is engaging in activities that are, of course, not par for the course and are instead risky enough to scare away insurers because something catastrophic might occur to that party.
Amare’s physical situation is such that it’s severe enough to scare aware insurers for fear of the legitimate likelihood that something bad will happen to him.
Nets = Global
Knicks = Local
Not mentioned in discussion is that Knicks should have used up their cap space already, while Nets will have 14 million to use, as needed..
Not to mention the draft pick advantage.
The Nets are likely to be better in February that today, not to mention the growth of the young players.
None of the analysis factors in likely improvements in the roster.
PS. Does anyone know yet what the Knicks paid for Roger Mason Jr.? Has he signed a contract yet?
Thats the Key
The growth of our young players sorting thru the team finding out what players are the real deal. My feeling is by the end of the year Favors,James,T-will,Morrow will be those players.
Stoudemire will average that per game dude

Gah, finally some sort of admittance that the guy can play. He wont average that, but still. I take it as recognition.

and I’m not saying that Amare isn’t going to put up the points for the Knicks. I believe that he will.

If he plays, which it sounds like you dont think he will. After all, if he cant get insured, he is on deaths door.
I'm not saying that he won't play...
….I think that he will. I’m just wary of how long he will last, and apparently, so were the Knicks’ insurers.
It’s a bad sign no matter how you put it because a contract not being able to be insured is not an everyday occurance in the NBA.

Knicks will definitely limit his minutes
Seeing him as a 5-yr investment, they won’t put a mileage on him up front.
Therefore, we won’t be seeing him filling up the STATs early on.
"Beat the Heat!"
+1000
Exactly. Maybe all of those years of no playoffs have them a bit delusional. There was a reason Larry Brown and The Bobcats fought to keep Tyrus Thomas and let Felton thier starting PG walk for nothing. I think Charlotte peaked as well. So I don’t count them as "automatic either the way everyone else is talking. They are pretty much wallace and Jackson and nothing more
The JETS/NETS are coming!
james might be a good guy to stash away for awhile if you can afford to do so
especially if he’s able to rebound and knock down 3’s as he gets more PT.

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall...
When looking at the Nets right now, you have to look from the bottom to the top, not top to bottom. Then it makes sense. The Nets have some nice talent going from 12 down.
Exhibit A; Maybe depth chart as of today…
HARRIS/FARMAR
C.LEE/MORROW
OUTLAW/JAMES
FAVORS/HUMPRIES/MAY
LOPEZ/PETRO/MAY
T-WILL 12th man. (Of course he’s not really) But if you get my reasoning, the Nets are being built from the bottom up. We then can add the impact, star, player and we are still covered at all the bases. And then of course if Favors becomes the star or even James, who I love, we might not need that “core” player. Once we couldn’t score LeBron, Wade, Bosh etc. we did the next best thing, built from the bottom to the top. Ingenious…
great assessment
Practical but true. Start with a strong foundation and build upon it.
Also, I like your pick of T-Will as 12 (the number of perfection.)
exactly
If you can’t land a superstar initially, the next best thing is to build a solid foundation. We’re well on our way with that one.

@NetsDaily Is there a way to get a video of Around the Horn from 5:15-5:17 PM today? It was funny.
They mostly ridiculed the Nets, but Bob Bryan was the only one who said the Nets would be a Good Team this year and that they were the best 12 win team ever last year.
One said that 15 wins would be better than last year.
Another said that the Brits wouldn’t know the difference if the USA sent over an Ivy League School team instead.
It was overall good publicity.
However, once again I have to repeat the Urgency of Nets making the playoffs this year, just to SHOW THEM ALL!
Many people at this site don’t believe it is important to make the playoffs. It was a mandate by Proky and The Little General has to follow orders.
there is no urgency to make the playoffs just to get approval from BSPN
The only ESPN personality that knows a damn thing about the Nets is blonde, cute, is 34 years old, and cohosts SportsNation with Colin Cowherd. And that in itself is a great misuse of her talents.
But seriously, I didn’t expect anything positive to be said about us on there. Wilbon and Kornheiser’s opinions change with the wind just like every other yahoo that works for that alleged news outlet.

Actually I haven't heard Michelle Beadle stick up for Nets. Has she ever given the Nets credit on the air for her start?
She didn’t even have a smile on her face the last time she mentioned Richard Jefferson!
Still Michelle is the main reason that show is still on the air. I think she is perfect for that show. It shows off ALL her talents and body.
So who is she dating these days?
I had a feeling it would be
something of that nature which is okay because the nets will be a better team in given time.
I think we just have to give the team time and everything will be okay but at the same time all these people are just using the nets as a punch line probably did the same thing when they traded for Jason kidd.
Patience is a virtue,
27 wins this year
next year 30
then we will be playoff team beating boston and reminding them how things use to be,
London tickets booked!
Well I have book myself tickets for both London games, just got to work out how I’m going to get there…
I live in the UK, but I’m moving to Singapore shortly so this is going to get tricky.
You can’t get ticket from the site until 1 September i think, unless you get an email inviting you to book early as far as i can tell.
Not sure how i qualified as “As a valued NBA fan”, but i got an email saying “we are delighted to offer you the exclusive opportunity to get your tickets before everyone else!”
Speaking from experience, the NBA preseason game in the London sells out very quickly every year. Anyone thinking of going should get there tickets soon as i think these will be very popular with the British, and even wider European public. Also, expected to get a bit ripped off as the O2 will milk it for all its worth.
Anyway, for anyone interested ticket prices below. I have converted them into dollars using the current exchange rate of 1.5801:
