About
Nets Are Scorching is one-stop shopping for all things related to the New Jersey Nets: analysis, opinion, news links, humor, game recaps, video breakdown, podcasts, and pretty much anything else you were ever looking to consume about the Nets and their players. The site was founded by Sebastian Pruiti in 2009, and is now co-authored by him and Mark Ginocchio.
Sebastian Pruiti is a New Jersey resident, and grad school student who is a big-time Nets fan, which led him to create Nets Are Scorching. He’s previously blogged about the Chicago Bulls and at the general NBA site, Half Court Heave. When it comes to other sports, Sebastian pulls for the Seattle Mariners and the Buffalo Bills, showing that the geographic locations of the teams he roots for are as diverse and eclectic as his opinions on basketball. He is the true “X’s and O’s guy” for the site and prefers sto leave that flowery, literary stuff to his associate, Mark. You can e-mail him at Sebastian.Pruiti@netsarescorching.com.
Mark Ginocchio is a New York City resident, and a full-time writer who has experience in newspapers and corporate public relations. He started pulling for the Nets in the early 1990s when he discovered his parents were too cheap to order MSG on cable to see the Knicks, so he was stuck with Sports Channel and the Nets. Fortunately, that team featured Drazen Petrovic, and he was hooked from that day forward. Mark also pulls for the New York Mets and the New York Jets, which just goes to show he can never be accused of jumping on the bandwagon in sports. E-mail him at Mark.Ginocchio@netsarescorching.com.
