Brooklyn Nets

I gave the Knicks a 2 and by default right now the nets are a better… so they get 3… but avoid both. They are terrible teams right now.
Barclays is good for a ball game. The inside seems like half the size of msg so even the bad seats have a decent view compared to the garden.
Tickets for the nets are cheaper overall as well. Until one of these teams start winning I’d avoid going all together. But if you have to choose the nets would probably be a better experience right now.

For a review of Barclays Center:
This will be a review on the 2014 – 2015 Nets team. What do I think of them? Well, they’re a lot better than the Knicks. The Nets are currently in 2^nd place behind Toronto in the Eastern Conference Atlantic division while the Knicks remain dead last. I attended one game against the visiting Spurs and had a great experience watching the game live at Barclays Center for the first time as the game went into overtime.
There are a few things I do and don’t like about this current team. Lets start with the biggest and most obvious one. Deron Williams. This guy’s ankles are made of glass and is frequently injured. He has a receding hairline with a weird front combover. Is he skillful and talented? No question about it. I just dislike his ambition for the game. I still blame him for driving one of the greatest coaches of all time Jerry Sloan out of Utah. During his time with the Nets, he’s already had 3 – 4 head coaches. What does that say about your star point guard?
The signing of Andrei Kirilenko was also a dumb move in my opinion. He hasn’t been a stat stuffer since his days in Utah. Where is he now? Traded to the Sixers and he refuses to play for that team. He should be very fortunate to still be given an opportunity to play for a NBA team even at this stage in his career regardless of how bad the 76ers are. For him to not report to the Sixers, it speaks volumes of how big of a dick he is in real life. College and overseas players would do anything to be on a NBA team roster while this guy refuses to report to duty.
What are the things I do like about the Nets? For one, Mason Plumlee. He’s young and athletic. He’s a horrible free throw shooter but when given the right amount of play time, he can do some damage in other categories. Even though Kevin Garnett is not playing the way he use to, he remains a vital veteran mentor to players like Plumlee and even to Brook Lopez. Joe Johnson plays hard while Jarrett Jack continues his climb as a starter during Deron Williams absence. It’s going to be interesting season for them. They might not be a huge threat to any team but I wouldn’t count them out that quickly in the Eastern Conference playoffs bracket if they end up making it.

This team has a great potential! Visited Barclay Arena last year and really liked the team as well as the new stadium. GO NETS!

DON’T PURCHASE VIP TICKETS DIRECTLY THROUGH THE NETS!!! Purchased 6 VIP tickets in section 8, row 11 and paid top dollar. I also purchased 4 additional tickets in the same section and row via Stub Hub. The Stub Hub tickets included food and drinks (where the tickets I purchased direct did not). This was the first and the last time I will spend top dollar through the Nets organization (and be nickel and dimed on the perks).
