Last time he did that the woman pressed charges.

It's kinda funny to watch Kris Humphries get the LeBron James treatment at MSG tonight. I know that he's supposed to be the "most hated man in the NBA", but how can you really hate on someone this irrelevant in the grand scheme of the league?

[gunnar hendershow]

I don't get the hate, or any emotion whatsoever, for Humphries.

[Maxx]

HE BROKE KIM'S HEART!

[gunnar hendershow]

Oh yeah, the Kardashians and their blood money. I should feel so sorry for them.

Brook Lopez is going to have foot surgery and will miss 4-6 weeks.

[Trey]

Injuries are going to be a bigger issue then normal, not that I think the Nets were a playoff team with Lopez healthy.

[phatman]

Ah well there goes any hope New Jersey had of trading for Dwight Howard IMO...

[DYSI]

Ah well there goes any hope New Jersey had of trading for Dwight Howard IMO...

He should be back before the deadline, but yeah, it really doesn't help.

Atleast whoever has our pick will have a good one.

[naiwf]

I'm not a fan of the Nets or their management, but I hope Brook's foot heals and that he doesn't end up like Yao or Big Z with chronic problems.

[gunnar hendershow]

Okur to the Nets for a 2nd rounder. Helps them cover during Lopez's injury and he is someone to fit in as an extra piece in a potential Dwight deal.

[DYSI]

Also signed DeShawn Stevenson. So atleast he can help the 3 or 4 games the Nets play the Heat this year..

[Trey]

I really like the DeShawn signing, the backcourt of Deron and DeShawn is one of the better ones in the league I would say.

In terms of defense, yes, when it comes to scoring I can't see it.

[gunnar hendershow]

Great defensive signing, it'll help them win some tough games. Also, more trade bait for Dwight.

[naiwf]

All I want for Christmas is the Knicks to crush Boston.

[gunnar hendershow]

10 minutes away!
