Your favorite Nets podcast is back! In this episode (recorded shortly before the Mavericks-Nets game Saturday night), Mark Ginocchio, Devin Kharpertian, & Danny Savitzky roundtable about the death of the Carmelo Anthony deal, the Nets’ resurgence, the long-term future of the team (and whether or not Devin Harris is a part of it), and whether or not Avery Johnson knows who his players are.
Nets Post-Up is a stream of consciousness podcast without editing. Luckily, the author can filter profanity (sort of), possesses excellent grammar (not really), and isn’t lazy about spelling (because there isn’t any in the audio medium). Basically, he’s amazing (no question).
First of all, my apologies. I realize after my first Nets Post-Up that this will be the second straight week where woman parts are mentioned. I guess this just gives the website more bro points, if anything. In any case, if you hear any banging in the background, it’s because my house is going through some repair and I couldn’t tell the workers to be quiet as I recorded this podcast. Why? Because there were four of them and they all looked like they could eat Mr. T for breakfast, crap out Rambo, and flush it down with no problem.
This past Sunday, I brought my eight-year-old son, HV, to his first NBA game – the New Jersey Nets hosting the Boston Celtics. There was a good reason why the Celtics being in town would be his first game… HV loves Shaquille O’Neal. But, I guess, what kid doesn’t?
In any case, my kid’s affinity for The Big Shamrock first happened when I was watching a Nets/Celtics preseason game and HV who was watching with me asked, “Who’s the big guy?” Naturally, it was Shaq and ever since then, my kid asked about “the big guy” whenever he saw I was watching a basketball game. So, HV asked fairly often. Two things became obvious: 1) I had to get tickets to a game and 2) unfortunately, my son would be rooting for the Celtics probably for the rest of his life.
Below you’ll find two podcasts; one recorded during the 100-75 blowout win for the Celtics and another recorded after the game. We never got to do a third part because my kid was tired when we got back home and Mondays are Mondays.
In any case, feel free to leave comments and encourage my kid! Any bad or negative comments, my kid and I will do it up Jay and Silent Bob style (video not recommended for eight-year-olds… HV, don’t watch this!).
For our second podcast of the season, Danny Savitzky & I talk about the early season, Brook Lopez’s struggles, Devin Harris’s resurgence, Terrence Williams, Derrick Favors, Carmelo Anthony, growing pains, & more. We also give our predictions for the rest of November to close it out.
For the first podcast of the season, Mark, Evan, & I espouse our thoughts about free agency, the draft, the future, the rotation, our front office, our favorite acquisitions, & more.
Well, Mark and I got together once again for another podcast, and in this edition, Mark and I talk about the tough losses in Philly, Orlando, and Miami. We also talk about the injuries (what else is new), the schedule ahead, and a little bit about the new ownership.
It has been a long time coming, but Mark and I finally got together to record podcast #8, the first of the regular season. In today’s podcast Mark and I discuss the injury situations, Lawrence Frank’s coaching decisions, Brook Lopez’s double teams, and whether or not the Nets will pick up a win in November. Enjoy:
There have been 7 of these? Good lord…Anyway, in this week’s episode Mark and I talk about preseason performances (mostly coming from Friday night’s game) and some stuff we like and some stuff we don’t like (Bobby Simmons). The podcast is after the jump, you can view it here or check it out on iTunes. Oh and in case you are wondering, and I am sure you are, we will be doing the podcast weekly from now on. Read more…
