PrintIn an interview with SLAM, Brett Yormark renewed an old pledge about inexpensive seats at Barclays Center.
"There will be 2,000 seats for the Nets priced at $15 and under when we get to Brooklyn," Yormark told SLAM. "That shows the commitment we’re making to the borough and to anyone who wants to come see NBA basketball in Brooklyn. As it relates to other events, pricing and affordable pricing will always be part of the model. It’s truly important for us to get vocal support."
The Nets CEO said the move is more than 15 miles. "We’re like an expansion team that’s going into a totally different market. So, we’ve spent the better part of the last seven years feeding our brand in Brooklyn for this moment," said Yormark.
"Our players go into Brooklyn quite often and they’re doing community engagement. People are honking their horns and saying ‘We love you, Nets’ and it’s a great feeling."

I dont deserve Dwight because why?
Because I feel our supposed leader and all star who is playing like a second rate D leaguer who whines about getting the players he wants dosent deserve to even have Lopez as a center? I will cheer on my Nets all game long as ive done for the last 15 plus years but I have lost ALL respect for D will and he WILL here me that day against Detroit.
by Christopher Manchesi on Jan 22, 2012 1:02 AM EST up reply actions
look at his numbers
hardly a D leaguer. Is he playing as well as he can? No. Is he playing with scrubs and a rookie?? Yes.
If he helps us get Dwight, you should kiss his feet.

So basically you are going to heckle the one player who can singlehandedly ruin or lift this franchise?
This reeks of logic.
I think it's fine.

How does he make or break the franchise?
If their is anyone that makes or break it its Dwight. Deron is gone without him. And frankly that is fine with me.

no deron = no dwight
no way around that

Great.
Now cheap Knicks fans who don’t want to go to MSG will come to Barlcays. Sounds like Prudential Center 2.0 already.

Knicks fans go to games because tickets are available
Not necessarily b/c of the price
If we get Howard/Dwill.... I dont think I can afford that

I know we all love Marshon and Brook... but
If the Magic told me we will give you Howard for Marshon+Lopez+Picks I make the deal yesterday LOL.

I honestly don't think they trade Dwight
The Magic have a chance to win a Championship this year. Realistically? probably not, but they are 11-4 right now and no doubt a top 3 team in the East. If they think they have a good chance at winning with Dwight then thats a good thing for us
the worst thing
that can happen is if they win the championship. last few years they always played well in the regular season and didn’t make it deep into the post. however, this year boston celtics are garbage right now (i think they can still turn it around) and the mavs were basically gutted to make cap space. Lakers I think are still in this as long as they have bynum and gasol. magic beat them easily the other night but it’s still the lakers, they are still a team you do not want to play in the playoffs. in the east it should be chicago and miami. i think personally miami is going all the way this year (i’m a not a miami heat fan) but I’m not sure big baby davis is the answer to all of orlando’s woes in the post season.
who knows, alot can happen in this shortened crazy pre-season. already a number of players are hurt through ought the league and I don’t see it getting better as the season continues.
If its row BB behind the basket its the second row from the court.

Just got to watch the game
Not only was Deron being a leader on the floor, he was also being a mentor. I don’t know if his past attitude or the story of his team list was part of the motivation, but this guy was ready to go today.
He was teaching Brooks, scolding him at times, and really had everything you want out of a leader on the floor. He missed a lot of shots, just like everyone else, but the fire didn’t fade away like we’ve seen in other games.

Great to hear.
So the world isn’t going to end then?
Never been to a sports game before (Huge sports fan)
Since I have nothing to do and my friends don’t either, we were thinking about buying some 20 dollar tickets to todays game. Good idea? All of us would be watching a live sports game for the first time so no idea what to expect.
Also, not interested in the Giants… Jets fan. We live in Brooklyn and would be using train mostly to get there, snow not a problem for us. We bike in the blizzard so we are good with tough conditions.
Also
What are some good seats that aren’t too expensive? Yeah its cheap as hell today for seats, but there is a reason I haven’t gone to a game yet. I’m not willing to spend hundreds on tickets.
Today would be the perfect time. Plus they might actually win this one.
TONIGHT!

Its not as bad as it was at Izod
For the last home game I sat dead center courtside row A for 25.00 a ticket. I sat courtside that season 10 times and sold my season tickets.

Hey NI, when are you planning on doing another one of those awesome inside tours (where you get tons of pics from the inside)?
