This week in nets

First it was the 2008 Celtics. Then it was the "Big Three" in Miami. Can the Nets become the latest NBA franchise to buy a title?

History will tell you the Nets have not made the playoffs since 2007, but Brooklyn hasn't been to the playoffs in 57 years. You can now strike both from the record books.

The Brooklyn Nets made a statement in Dallas last night with a 113-96 win over the Mavericks; and it was their 40th win of the season!

The official halfway point of the season was roughly two weeks ago, and with the All-Star break upon us, it's time to hand out some mid-season hardware.

Just when it appeared nothing could slow down the Brooklyn Nets, something derailed the Brooklyn Nets: they were slapped with the worst All-Star snub since 1978.

The Brooklyn Nets' week consisted of one buzzer beater, two collapses and the return of their (soon to be) all-star center. Overall, an exciting week of 2-1 basketball.

Tuesday's game against the Knicks is a must-win for Brooklyn. Without a win, they'll be losers of five straight; a middle-of-the-road team desperately searching for a way out of New Jersey.
