Nets Attempt to Finish the Season Strong
The New Jersey Nets will make an attempt at a strong end to this dismal season as they go against the playoff hopeful Philadelphia 76ers on Monday and the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. Winning the next two games is important to the franchise because it can provide some much needed…
If Not For Injuries, Nets Would Be A Playoff Team
Although the New Jersey Nets carry the worst record in the Atlantic division, the 2011-2012 season could have been more promising if it had not been afflicted with so many injuries from key players. The Nets, who currently hold a dismal 22-40 record, have been affected by several injuries to…

Few good words can describe Nets season
Disappointing. Frustrating. Maddening. There’s a crossword puzzle-worth of clues and adjectives that can describe the New Jersey Nets’ season and effort.

Nets continue to dance to the same old song

Nets enjoying more points out of Anthony Morrow
If the Giants weren’t out winning Super Bowls this weekend, the biggest sports news in New York likely would have centered around the hardwood. Basketball had several exciting stories, some career performances, that shouldn’t go unnoticed, but because of Eli Manning’s magic, they probably will. So, in case you missed…
Latest injury hurts Nets as much as it does MarShon Brooks
It doesn’t really matter who is on a team’s roster if those players can’t stay healthy. The injury bug has infested the Nets just as the team was hitting its groove. Before Sunday night’s loss to Toronto, Jersey had won four of its last six games and was on its…
