    Also two of the more selfish and competitive personalities in the league. Who knows how tough that integration is behind the scenes.

    Sadly, with all that, they still have a better record than the Blazers.

    Until Dolan leaves, they'll continue to swing and miss on established big names.

    Yeah I'm perplexed by this. Nets were a scrappy, competitive team last season. Now I saw the headlines where "some players" wanted him gone. So to me, it says a lot about either the players, or Kyrie in general.

    Not getting Kyrie & KD was the best thing that happened to the Knicks last summer.

    They should play some games outside. Didn't they do a preseason game outside once?

    For me this would be great for attending more nice-weather games and having more daylight before games. I assume it would be an improvement for fans in other cities too.

    The current schedule also overlaps the NHL so it could help teams in NHL cities. Maybe they could try putting a team in Vancouver again with one on Seattle.

    At least do more mid-day games like the game against the Rockets this month. Great for people in Portland with the nice weather hanging out before and after a game.

    Is there someone who likes going to games in cold weather? I definitely do not.

    Turnovers....I don't count that kind. Clyde Drexler got shorted on a real Quadruple douple when he was with the Rockets. Someone went back and showed that the scorer missed some stats.

    Guy on the radio this morning was saying that basically KD and Kyrie went to the nets but never gave Atkinson a chance and was trying to get rid of him from the start so they could pick their own coach.

    I'd fucking hate that.

    I go camping all the time starting in mid-June.

    and the NBA would be fucking nuts to think their ratings would go up if the stretch run of the season and the playoffs were in the summer

    That is ridiculous on their part then. Unless Atkinson was in over his head and had/has no interpersonal skills (which I doubt given the emergence of the Nets last season), this furthers the proof of them being primadonnas.
