Preview: Nets at Kings

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:00:20 -0500

by Matt Slocum - AP View full size photo » "No mas! No mas!" THE OPPONENT Holy crap. Where to start? OK, for one, I don't know if you have heard this, but the Nets have not won a game since, like, April. 0-15. Zero wins, fifteen freaking losses. No team is really that bad, though I remember the awful 1998-99 Clippers, the team that got it's first win against the Kings in Game No. 18 of a 50-game season. ...

Chris Douglas-Roberts Brook Lopez Courtney Lee If you said "The girls from the Channel 7 Eyewitness Reports Squad" you're wrong! They're actually NBA players. They play for the Nets, which means they've been playing like the girls from the Channel 7 Eyewitness Reports Squad. But that's another...

Tri-State Vengeance: Sixers Look to Take Out City's Frustrations on Nets

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:40:06 -0500

New Jersey may not have asked to get in the middle in the tug-of-war between Philadelphia and New York these past few weeks, but hey, no one invited them to the Interstate. Tonight, an ailing sports city casts their eyes to the city's pro basketball team--well, some of them might, anyway--to help lift their spirits after the Phillies' unfortunate vanquishing at the hands of the Bronx Bombers. The Nets seem like a good team to regroup against, especially with the team's lone All-St...

Eduardo Najera says NJ Nets 'were right to shut me down'

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:11:29 -0500

Noah K. Murray/The Star-LedgerEduardo Najera said he is feeling healthier and is looking forward to get back to the court come early next week. With the office all but shuttered, and the players still a few days away from congregating...

Najera’s Road Back

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 14:39:02 -0500

Eduardo Najera is the Nets’ forgotten man. After missing two-thirds of the season to various injuries, the last a sports hernia that required season-ending surgery, Najera is on the comeback trail, he hopes. The trail will be, to continue the cliché, long and winding. After spending most of the summer rehabbing and giving anti-drug [...]

Could our Nuggets be the NBA's version of "Major League"?...

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 03:39:25 -0500

After watching the Nuggets beat the Not-Your-Father's-Spurs in San Antonio tonight, I was trying to think of the last time a professional sports team had been gutted by management, dissed by the national media and yet proved the naysayers wrong. Nothing immediately came to mind other than the ...

Forget Kobe or Lebron: Apparently Eddie Najera is the league's MVP

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:06:09 -0500

As someone in the business of marketing, I got to give a hat tip to whoever is in charge of hyping up Eduardo Najera. That guy (or gal) deserves a huge raise. If you're like me and have watched the Nuggets a few times over the past couple weeks (they seem to be on national TV at least twice a week), you had to have noticed too. According to the commentators, Eddie is the most valuable player on the Denver Nuggets. He is the one member of George Karl's team that is untradeable.

Nugs Like Z-Bo | Has Zeke Found His Sucker?

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:49:12 -0500

Just a few days after a pair of Knicks beat writers told Hot Stove New York that Zach Randolph is nigh-untradeable, the Post's Marc Berman reported on Friday that there are "rumblings" that the team may in fact have found a sucker at least willing to discuss the notion of acquiring the bloated ballhog - and here's the real kicker - in exchange for expiring contracts no less! Truly too good to be true?which is why we don't believe it for a minute.

Daily Babble: The Latest Indictment of Zach Randolph's (Lack Of) Value

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:08:37 -0500

This is what Zach Randolph is worth in this league now, and if the trade is offered as reported, the Knicks would be utter fools (not for the first time) if they didn't accept it in a heartbeat.

Minnesota: Trade Jaric and Craig Smith To Denver

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:37:49 -0500

FIRST OF ALL, click the link and you'll see a picture of Jaric's squeeze Adriana Lima in her underwear. So the deal looks like this: Marko Jaric and Craig Smith for Eddie Najera and Chucky Atkins. Minnesota saves $16 million, Denver avoids the luxury tax, and both teams take a step towards getting better. Of course, this all depends on Nene's health
