Aug 30, 2009 Nets on the Net, Youtube of the night
Catching up with your Nets-related news and musings from the weekend.
- In a Hoopsworld chat, Yannis Koutroupis said despite the fact that the Miami Heat are seeking a PG, he’s doubtful the Nets will trade Rafer Alston. In a separate post on Hoopsworld,, Luke Byrnes said the Nets season should be considered a “bust” if they’re not in contention for a playoff spot by the end of the year.
- In a Steve Politi report for the Star-Ledger, Barclay’s president Bob Diamond says the Bank remains committed to the Atlantic Yards development its naming rights deal for the new Brooklyn arena.
- Madison Magazine, which follows all things relevant to the Madison, WI region, has a feel-good story about Devin Harris (University of Wisconsin-Madison player) regarding his off-the-court charity work with children.
- NetIncome, over at the always reliable Nets blog NetsDaily, gives a weekly update of the Nets, talking about where the players are getting in shape for the off-season, some musings on the 2010 free agent class, and a score of other Nets tidbits.
- Liam Martin at NESN has a preview of the Nets saying the Nets will probably not win the Atlantic Division this season, but they may be in playoff contention.
- We also found a little Brook Lopez highlight reel. Some good stuff though because of my own personal musical tastes, I’m watching on mute.
Youtube Of The Night: CDR Rookie Mix – And A Truehoop Network Note
Aug 17, 2009 Chris Douglas-Roberts, QueenCityHoops, Truehoop Network, Youtube of the night
CDR is always tweeting good stuff, and recently he hyped up a rookie mix of himself that popped up on youtube. I checked it out and it’s pretty solid. The first little part is all photos, but there is actual video, so don’t worry. Oh yeah, the lyrics to the music to the background is NSFW.

A little Truehoop Network note, Brett Hainline over at Queen City Hoops runs a great statistical page for every NBA player in the league. He needs a little help though, and for your trouble you could win a $25.00 gift card for NBA.com. All you got to do is head over to the post I just linked above and in the comments post a player bio or a picture for any player. There is a gift card for both the bio and the picture, so be sure to help out and pick one for both. Good luck Nets’ fans, lets take it down!
