Looks friggin awesome. You can tell there will not be one bad seat in the house. The upper level looks soo steep, which is awesome. I've been to Montreal's Bell Centre before, and their upper level is ridiculously steep. They have bars in front of each row, and this looks just about as steep. Makes the upper level seating much much better. I cannot wait to get my feet inside this place! November 1st is a long ways away!

Steep means more drunk people falling down steps

Absolutely agree with this. Just look at all of those inner city kids cheer for the Mighty Ducks after they showed up at the hockey park and played a game with them.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or not, I don't know hockey that well. Or if this is an Emilio Esteves joke lol?

The Nets signings of Blatche and Greene will provide an additional tall power foward and tall small forward ; this is a combination that can create difficult match up problems. Stop and analyze this very carefully can these two guys co-exist and most imortant don't create distractions for the team.

The Greene signing was put on hold due to injury...

Imagine if these were the jerseys. Some dude on ND is claiming these are the real ones. I don't think E can claim these aren't modern lol.:

Straight up gross.

They look like the uniform for a roller derby team.

Are those made my Under Armor?

You know what? I like these a lot more than the plain ones that look like High School uniforms or an already boring Spurs uniform without the silver and with even more boring block letters.

Is this great? No. But I agree with you. Those are at least a modern take. The warm up jackets if they have the same half and half style will look really nice. Not that I couldnt see all black with block white letters for a warm up being nice too. I just dont like it for the jerseys.

These are just the most boring plain ass jerseys in the league by comparison. The ones NYC posted I think are so much nicer.

Blatche has committed to the Nets can he bring his A game and crack the starting line up and pair up with Brooke Lopez to become the twin towers of Brooklyn. Both of these players have an excellent talent to compete with the Eastern Conference elite. We know Brooke will show up and play with all his mental capabilites to perform every night; can Blatche do the same and become a good citizen.Brooklyn has many distractions just like Manhattan. This a great opportunity for Blatche because the Nets have not had a power forward with skills since Buck Williams.My opinion Blatche has tremendous talent for a 6-11 player; Andray take this opportunity and run with it and become a star in this league because you can do it with hard work and discipline.

Blatche's talent level greatly exceeds that of Humphries, but it means nothing if his work ethic isn't there. I hope John Lucas keeps checking on him and Blatche remains motivated. I don't think he has superstar level talent like other people are saying but if he applies himself 100%, you have a a guy like Lamar Odom without the good handle.

For you folks who have ANY hope for Blatche, forget about it. He can't jump over a Brooklyn phone book - even without the yellow page section, and he still has no muscle definition, and looks very sluggish. He's a very slow 6'11 jump shooter who thinks he has dribbling skills. He does have dribbling skills - for a YMCA level team - not for the NBA. Take it from a Wizards fan - don't believe anything he says that sounds encouraging - he's done that many times before only to be proven full of it. There's absolutely no reason to believe him now, and even if you are a sucker and fell/fall for his bs, he's simply not a good athlete. Look elsewhere for optimism.

on what planet does blatch have excellent talent?

mentioning him and buck williams in the same sentence should get you banned from the nets board for life.

Is it okay if Nets take a look at him in training camp?

So the first picture has been leaked of the basketball court fully down in the Barclays Center and it looks amazing, love the hard wood floor. Bring on November 1st!!!

Looks nice, has a classic feel to it. I've said it before, but I absolutely love the design decision to depart from the bright poppy kiddy colors and cartoonish pictures that plague many team logos.
