WASHINGTON - The Washington Wizards hit late shots to force two overtime periods, but the final big shot belonged to Joe Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets. Johnson sank the game-winning jumper with 0.7 seconds remaining in double-overtime, and Brook Lopez had 27 points and 13 rebounds as the Nets survived for a wild 115-113 win over Washington on Friday. After the Wizards drained final-second shots to force both overtime sessions, Johnson returned the favor with a deep bomb from the right wing after Bradley Beal's free throws tied the game with 9.1 seconds remaining. Deron Williams finished with 24 points and 10 assists for the Nets (18-15) and Johnson added 18 points. Amnestied by the Wizards this summer, Andray Blatche had 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Nets, winners of two straight road games. Brooklyn trailed after each of the first three quarters, but held leads with less than four seconds remaining in both the fourth quarter and the first overtime, overtime only to s...

Joe Johnson Game Winner Lifts Nets over Wizards in Double Overtime

Via Atlantic Twine  |  January 05, 2013

Thunder Fan Freaks Out After Touching Kris Humphries

Via Ride The Pine  |  January 03, 2013
As Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries left the court in Oklahoma City to deal with an injury late in the 4th quarter, he shook hands with some of the fans in the stands and one lady completely freaked out.  I’m assuming the Thunder fan JUST realized that a basketball player at the end of the game is pretty gross and sweaty or maybe she is a Kayne West fan. One thing is for sure...

Trevor Booker on Andray Blatche’s Return To WAS: “I Hope He Makes It Out Alive”

Via Beyond The Buzzer  |  January 03, 2013
The Wizards will have another sort of reunion [Friday] when Andray Blatche returns to the place that he called home for the first seven seasons of his career before he was waived using the amnesty provision last July. Since joining Brooklyn, Blatche certainly hasn’t endeared himself to fans in Washington as he has poked fun at his former team for its lousy start on Twitter and...

Did the Nets Unfairly Fire Avery Johnson?

Via FootBasket  |  January 03, 2013
The Brooklyn Nets organization has displayed many times through its actions in the past year that they are in “win-now-or-bust” mode. From their move to Brooklyn that enhanced a new, modern-age image rivaling any team around the league to their lucrative off-season spending in an effort to appease their star point guard Deron Williams, it is easy to see the goal is to win...

Tweet   As a rookie last season MarShon Brooks showed why he was among the better scorers in college basketball as a senior and gave the Nets a glimpse of what they could expect for years to come.

Nets 113, Kings 93

Via AP on Fox  |  January 05, 2013
Brook Lopez scored 18 points in 17 minutes to lead six players in double figures, and the Brooklyn Nets got a nice effort from their reserves in beating the Sacramento Kings 113-93 on Saturday night for their third straight victory. One night after needing two overtimes to escape with a 115-113 victory in Washington, the Nets made sure the starters weren't too taxed. Deron Williams...

Bench sparks Nets to rout of Kings

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  January 05, 2013
NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets weren't too worn out from their double-overtime game the previous night to again extend a warm welcome to interim coach P.J. Carlesimo. The Nets dominated the surging Sacramento Kings for most of the game along the way to a 113-93 win Saturday night at the Barclays Center, helped largely by their bench, which contributed 50 points.

John Wall is coming closer to his return for the Washington Wizards since being out with an injury to his left knee. The star point guard practiced on Thursday in limited contact drills, according to USA TODAY. Wall did not speak to any reporters but participated in some running and non-contact drills throughout the day. Wall was impressive in his first practice, as many players...

Phil Jackson Got Engaged

Via Backyard Sports Blog  |  January 04, 2013
 Now we know why Phil Jackson didn't get hired by the Lakers and doesn't want to come back and coach the Brooklyn Nets.  He needed some time to himself to get engaged to long time girlfriend Jeanie Buss.  I'm guessing the honeymoon isn't going to be very cheap either, so maybe Phil will make his return to the NBA next season. Check out our Home Page for...

No hope in the near future for the Wizards

Via Crossover Chronicles  |  January 03, 2013
The Washington Wizards’ abysmal season last year was overshadowed by an even worse one from the Charlotte Bobcats. This year, they are taking center stage with only four wins so far. They have been playing without point guard John Wall, but you have to wonder how big of a difference he could possibly make. The good news for the Wizards is that with all the bad seasons they...
