SBNation Basketball Blog in the NYT

posted by -PS-, Jan 04, 2013

Posting & Toasting — or P&T, as it’s called — is one of 30 loosely affiliated fan-run basketball communities, a small part of the 312-blog hydra that is SBNation, an online sports network that claims 20 million hits a month. SBNation’s basketball blogs all have different moods: the Nets blog is generally angry; the Lakers blog is stubbornly triumphalist; the Heat blog is weirdly deserted and unloved — and P&T is mordant, intermittently hilarious and a little absurd. Posters & Toasters noticed long ago that Knicks point guard Raymond Felton resembles a duck or a penguin, and recent injuries to Felton’s hands have inspired hundreds of heartfelt posts from fans worried about his "flippers" and the delicate webbing between his toes. Joe Flynn, who provides game previews and analysis from a desk somewhere in China, begins his posts by supplying the Mandarin names for Knicks opponents. Fans who have noted the distressing tendency of Knicks management to understate the severity of players’ injuries have taken to reinterpreting the scant medical data the team releases. When Carmelo Anthony missed two games with a hyperextended knee, panicked Posters & Toasters concluded, after some debate, that the star forward’s leg had fallen off.

Brooklyn's Embrace in Pictures

posted by Net Income, Aug 17, 2012

Link nytimes.com

Two days after giving front page treatment to Jay-Z's role with the Nets, the Times has posted a slideshow of just how Brooklyn is embracing the Nets, making their paraphernalia a fashion statement, their logo part of the borough's imagery. As the Times titles their slideshow, "In Brooklyn, It’s All Nets." In fact, the Nets logo has become so ubiquitous that Imam Shumpert of the Knicks went to extraordinary lengths to obscure it in a photo with a fan.
