They are the photos of the day: Brook and Brooks of Brooklyn, aka Brook Lopez and MarShon Brooks had their picture taken Tuesday and neither looked very comfortable, Lopez in a barbers chair, Brooks amidst the snack food fare.

He was the face of the team at Friday's ribbon-cutting, then strode out to center court, hands in his pockets, imagining what it might be like with a crowd. Brook Lopez is at 24 the team's senior member, the one who's waited the longest for Brooklyn.

He's had a tough couple of years, what with the 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian and all the booing from fans and trash talking from opponents. But Kris Humphries is not putting his star power to use, helping kids stay fit, starting in Brooklyn.

Billy King likes the Nets playoff chances "on paper" and even thinks they can contend for a championship this year, "with luck", but he also talked Tuesday about the team's need for defense and chemistry. One good thing: all his players are in camp.

For the Nets, making the playoffs is not enough after a major overhaul and an even more important move to Brooklyn. A week before training camp opens, NetsDaily's pegs previews the 2012-13 Brooklyn Nets season with five key questions and answers.

For years, they've waited and on Monday night, more than 5,000 Nets fans, season ticket holders with special passes got the run of Barclays Centers, spending two hours inside. For most, it was their first look inside and for most, the word was wow.

They lined up along Flatbush Avenue waiting for Irina Pavlova to cut the ribbon on the new Nets Shop by adidas. Then hundreds of them poured in, to browse the Nets gear and get autographs from Brook and Brooks of Brooklyn.

It's been a good year for the sons of Nets assistant coaches. Popeye Jones' son, Seth, is seen as a top three pick in the 2013 NHL Draft and could go overall No. 1. Now, there's word that Doug Overton's son, Miles, has committed to Wake Forest.
