http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/teams/brooklyn_nets/64 Recent articles about Brooklyn Nets en-us Jerry Stackhouse was a guest on ESPN's Highly Questionable and gave us quite the insight on NBA fights. Stackhouse started off talking about how he had to fight for everything growing up but it soon turned into a discussion on any scraps he got into while he has been in the NBA. From Kirk Snyder to Christian Laettner, Stack opened up on fights he got into during his time in the NBA.

We saw it all from Brooklyn in that series: offensive inconsistency,  defensive shortcomings, mental lapses, blown leads, and the list can go on and on. But what we didn't see was a very deep bench, as long-gone P.J. Carlesimo shrunk his rotation to astronomically-small proportions at times, sticking with ineffective starters as opposed to fresh reserves. However, one could make the argument that such an action was reasonable, as some of the Nets' bench-players just didn't step up in the playoffs. Whomever is coaching the Nets next season shouldn't have that sort of problem, as one of the team's Euro-stash players, Croatian forward Bojan Bogdanovic, is ex...

After all, they are trying to one up the New York Knicks in every facet for New York City supremacy. Almost every new arena has amazing features. But Barclays Center is going one step further, as apparently the area vents pump out a “signature scent.” Via Deadspin: DNAinfo reports that the Barclays Center has its own signature scent wafting through the HVAC system, meant to “enhance the consumer experience and build brand identities.” That phrasing is gross, but it is often said that scent is the most evocative of the senses. The sickly-sweet fragrance that one ticketholder compares to Axe body spray? That’s the Nets’ madeleine. Maybe the scent made the Nets players light headed, and that explains why they were ousted in the first round of the playoffs by the Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls.

As one corporate toucan would say, “Just follow your nose!” According to DNA Info, Barclays Center in Brooklyn pumps its own “signature scent” into the air in an attempt to identify that smell with the arena and help build brand identity. Moreover, this isn’t necessarily a new trend, even in the sports world. The scent is the work of a company called ScentAir, which creates customized smells and provides the technology necessary to spread that scent in a large venue, like, say, a basketball arena. According to DNA Info, similar strategies have been implemented everywhere from the Hershey’s store in Times Square to Cowboys Stadium and Edward Jones Dome. Many fans had noticed the scent wafting around the hallways at Barclays Center, voicing their interest or disapproval on social media. The Barclays’ scent has been described as having citrus hints, possibly akin to a high-end men’s cologne.

According to DNA Info: As the last few fans rushed through the arena’s front doors, the brisk breeze that followed them gave way to a distinct aroma: a fresh-smelling fragrance with citrus notes that some call the arena’s “signature scent,” in the words of one Twitter observer. What is the smell? A source familiar with the matter said it’s the work of ScentAir, a company that manufactures custom fragrances pumped into the air at theme parks, stores and hotels around the world. The odors function like mood music for your nose. They’re meant to enhance the consumer experience and build brand identities.

The Nets Shop by Adidas will feature beach balls, flip-flops, visors and other summer sundries along with the usual Nets gear. Hoping to cash in on the beachfront location, the Nets are betting the biggest draw will be their $80 bikinis in the team's signature black and white colors. The shop — a 1,100-square-foot boutique just across the street from the landmark Nathan's— will say Hello Brooklyn with a "towel-cutting" ceremony at 10 a.m. on Thursday. “After one year, we’re fourth in the NBA in apparel,” said Nets and Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark. “But this isn’t about sports.

It was abysmal. The Nets played practically zero defensive, missed open shot after open shot, and worst of all, they didn’t show enough effort down the stretch. I don’t want to harp on the loss though. I want to talk about what the Nets can do this offseason to improve as a team. Coaching General Manager Billy King announced on Sunday that interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo will not return next season to coach the Nets. P.J. did a decent job this year, but King made the right move here. Carlesimo is a good coach, but he isn’t the right coach for the Nets. The Nets were out-toughed in Game 7, especially on the glass. Whoever coaches the Nets next season will have to be able to toughen this squad up, and put a much bigger emphasis the defensive end of the court. If I were Billy King, the first person I’d reach out to is Jeff Van Gundy. JVG knows the game of basketball better than...

The SMU basketball coach could be leaving again, according to at least one report. Brown, who has been at SMU just one season, was on a short list of candidates to be the next coach of the Brooklyn Nets, an anonymous source told ESPN's Chris Broussard. The other candidates, according to Broussard's tweet, are Phil Jackson and Brian Shaw. According to another anonymous source, Jackson has told the Nets he's not interested. The 72-year-old Brown has not said, either publicly or through a source, whether he's interested in coaching the Nets. An SMU spokesman declined to comment. Although he's known for coaching Kansas to the 1988 NCAA title, Brown has an extensive coaching career in the professional ranks, starting in 1972 with the Carolina Cougars of the old ABA. He's even coached the Nets before, during the 1981-82 and 82-83 seasons. Brown was born in Brooklyn and grew up not far away in Long Beach, Long Island.

Carlesimo.   A search for a new head coach will commence immediately.  “The Brooklyn Nets organization would like to thank P.J. for his efforts with the team in his roles as both head coach and assistant, and for his contributions to the team’s success both on and off the court," said Billy King in a prepared statement. "We wish P.J. and his family only the best in the years to come.” Carlesimo replaced Avery Johnson in December as head coach of the Nets. Jeff Van Gundy is a top target, according to a source that spoke with Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Phil Jackson is also considered a candidate the Nets are believed to be interested in.

While they trail Chicago, it’s clear the Nets fans have to be impressed from what they have seen lately from center Brook Lopez. Lopez has had a year which has convinced many that he is one of the top big men in the league, particularly on the offensive end. He’s a major part of the team, and has been backing up the big-time contract that the franchise gave him this summer. All this being said, Brook Lopez surely doesn’t want the playoffs to end. His reasoning is just a little bit different from that of most other NBA players. Via The Brooklyn Game: So what motivates him? Is it the desire to be the best basketball player to ever live? The competitive drive to rip his opponent’s throat out? The inner fire he channels to pour on the points and lead his team to victory? According to Lopez: “I don’t really have a social life.

AKA... FAKE.According to a source, Kris was more into the entertainment side of the marriage than Kim was and that the two spent more time fighting over the details of the prenup than planning the wedding.Among the witnesses... two managers were heavily involved in the prenup talks, at least one lawyer was involved in the document and a court reporter who was present when the prenup was signed.So basically what Kim's lawyer is saying is that Kim is more faker than what we ever thought she was and that Kris walked into the "marriage" with is eyes wide open.
