August 11th, 2009 5 comments

For Nets fans who are already dreaming of the summer of 2010, Dime magazine reminds us that there’s more to next year than just the pending free agencies of Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

Welcome New Blogger Mark Ginocchio

August 11th, 2009 No comments

Through the first 4 months of this blog (Time just flies by doesn’t it?) it has grown by leaps and bounds.  Today is another example.  NetsAreScorching is adding another blogger by the name of Mark Ginocchio.  Now, I will let Mark introduce himself to you guys later, but Mark is a great guy and a great writer (used to write professionally).  With that being said,  I am really excited that Mark was willing to join this site.  I look forward to Mark introducing a new voice to the blog, and this is only a good thing for the site.

Mark’s first post will be up later today, so be sure to check it out!  Again, welcome Mark!
