Apology For The Downtime
Feb 22, 2010 Updates
Guys, as you may have known, the site was down for a little over 24 hours starting Sunday morning. The issue was server where our domain was being hosted at got attacked. We are back up and running now, but I just wanted to apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused. I will have a Thoughts on the Game up for last night’s game soon, and starting tomorrow, we will be back on our regular schedule of content. Sorry again.
UPDATE: Devin’s Out Tonight
Oct 31, 2009 Injuries, Updates
According to Dave D, Devin is out tonight, and his status against Charlotte on Monday is up in the air as well. Maybe this is why he hasn’t been playing as well as some were expecting. More from Dave:
So they’re back to Plan B, with Rafer Alston starting against Gilbert Arenas, and Terrence Williams spelling Rafer at the point. The Wizards, of course, are without Antawn Jamison, and Caron Butler suffered a knee bruise at Atlanta Friday, so he’s also probably out.
You already know how I feel about Terrence playing the “true point” spot rather than the point forward spot, but at this point with Dooling and Devin both out, it is pretty much a necessity. Brook should be getting a lot more touches now.
Quick Programming Note
Oct 22, 2009 Updates
Some of you might have noticed that your comments were “eaten” by the site yesterday, and I just wanted to let you all know what happened. We were switching hosts to better serve you (and save some money in the process), and at some point, a few comments disappeared. Just wanted to let you guys know that you aren’t banned or the comments weren’t deleted because of rules violations.
Hopefully the commenting activity can continue to pick up!

With the Nets canceling media day yesterday, we as Nets’ fans got deprived of some of the great quotes and other stuff that the other teams got. All we got is this video and some pictures of everyone in their jerseys. Stuff like this:
So as Nets fans, we are just left in the dark right? Wrong. We get to see the Nets first official workout live. Head over to NJnets.com at 11, and you see a link to watch it. I will be watching, and if anything of note happens, I will be able to report it to you guys.
NetsAreScorching Update: Commenting Constitution, Salaries, and Stats
Aug 30, 2009 Updates
With the addition of this site to the Truehoop Network, and more recently with the addition of Mark, this site has grown to an extent I could have never imagined it would. In fact, just recently we surpassed 50,000 hits, and while that may not seem like a ton, we are only 4 months old, and we know this site is only going to get bigger.
With that being said, discussions are growing on the site as well, and that lead Mark and I to implement a commenting constitution. So whenever you have a chance, click the link up top and give it a read. Also, here at NetsAreScorching we are trying to become the one-stop shop for everything Nets related. This is why we instituted a salaries and stats section.
Lastly, I just wanted to thank you guys, the readers, for coming over every day, reading the blog, and adding your opinions to the discussions. That makes all of the work Mark and I put it worth it.
The Podcast Is Returning
I know a lot of you were disappointed when the NetsAreScorching podcast stopped after only two episodes, so I have some good news…it is coming back! Starting Friday, Mark and I are going to be doing a podcast every two weeks for the remainder of the off-season. Remember, if you have any questions you want Mark or I to address, send the over to podcast@netsarescorching.com.
Welcome New Blogger Mark Ginocchio
Aug 11, 2009 Updates
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!
A Small But Important Change To The Site
Jul 30, 2009 Updates
I love the theme that I am using for this site, but the biggest problem has been linking to other sites. Whenever I would put a link in one of my posts, you couldn’t really tell, because the hyperlink color was practically the same as my regular font.
Well today I decided to fix that. From now on, any link in my posts will be bold. So if you see bold, it is fair game and you should probably give it a click because I only link to real good stuff.
I made a post about this because I want to get your opinions. Does it look/work better this way? Should I change it back? Let me know in the comments.
New NetsAreScorching Logo
Jul 6, 2009 Updates
Sometime this week the site is going to change a bit. Nothing too big, but the site will have a new logo:
Pretty sweet huh? This was designed by DailyThunder.com reader Jacob Thompson. I just wanted to say thank you to him here. Also, if you guys have twitter, you should probably check his page out and follow him. You can find it here:
Again, thanks a ton Jacob!
Happy Holidays From NetsAreScorching
Hey everyone, just wanted to wish those in the US a happy 4th of July. I know it isn’t until tomorrow, but I am leaving this afternoon to go celebrate. I probably won’t be posting anything of real significance until Sunday, but if something big happens tomorrow or Saturday, I will try to get to a PC so I can give you my thoughts.
Thanks for the continued support of NetsAreScorching.
