08:05 AM ET 10.08 | There is new life in the Nets. This isn't New Jersey anymore. The Nets might actually have a home-court advantage. Brooklyn practiced at the Barclays Center for the first time Sunday and raved about the team's new digs, giving a thumbs-up to just about everything while taking thinly veiled shots at their last home in Newark. "I've never seen anything like it," Kris Humphries said about the $1 billion arena. "Everything is so much bigger and nicer than what we'Unprecedented element to Nets new arenare used to." The Nets finished an abysmal 9-24 at home last season. ... [Avery Johnson] detailed one small issue: the open entrance to the street allowed sunlight to shine through to the arena, which could become a problem during afternoon games.

Both the Knicks and the Nets are the reasons why I couldn't care less about the NBA. The NBA is a crap league full of prima donnas and men that would run you over just to get the dollar on the other side of the street.

What sport do you follow Mr. Patel? Cricket perhaps?

His name would suggest such.

Maybe i need to be enlightened. Don't the nets basically have the same team as last year? How have they gotten so much better? Will Johnson make that much of a difference?
