So apparently Avery has said that he will play Blatche and Brook together now. Not sure what made him change his mind.

That Joe Johnson crossover still makes me laugh out loud.

I would say the fact he was on the verge of being fired has led to these changes, such as Hump out of the rotation & Blatche starting

The highlight of Joe Johnson's career. Crossing a hall of famer over once. Let me know when JJ drops 40 at Pierce's age. :lol:

Yeah, because enjoying that highlight automatically means that I think Joe Johnson is the superior player.

I don't get why there's been so much overreaction over Humphries not playing last game.

Wallace at the 4 was simply Avery attempting to matchup with Thaddeus Young*, not Humphries falling out of the rotation.

*Something I think was dumb as hell. The Nets are not a "go small" team, they're not a great offensive ballclub, go big beat-em-up that should be the motto. And then if Thaddeus Young goes off you slot in Wallace at the 4 as an adjustment... But whatever... Despite Avery the team still won.

dude why so sensitive?

How the hell is JJ supposed to drop 40 at that age when he's not that age?

This persianceltic dude is an ****, he constantly embarasses himself on the GB.

Regarding the game, i honestly don't know what to expect. Our team has been playing so bad lately, and i don't know, the celtics will go for blood in this game after dropping two straight against the nets. It's on national tv, too.

Still, i'm gonna go with the nets in a close one, 93 - 88.

Knicks fan here.

I deeply hate the Celtics so... LET'S GO NETS.

So I wasn't sure if I was going to watch this game on ESPN or YES.

Flip on ESPN, see a Justin Bieber music video and then Doris Burke and Chris Broussard analyzing the game......immediately switched to YES.

Why doesn't Magic leave ESPN and re-join TNT? He doesn't deserve to be with these idiots

Exciting to see some Nets basketball on Christmas finally. So used to watching the same old teams every year. We made it!

Awful spacing to start
