10/20/1976 - Nets sell Erving to Sixers When the NBA absorbed four ABA teams in 1976, they did not do it for free. A $3.2 million entrance fee was required for the Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, and New York Nets, and all four met the requirement. But it was a no-win situation...
Misconceptions about Newark and New Jersey
Sorry, non-RU post today because I wanted to talk about this. Steve Politi's Sunday column considered the question of whether or not playing Newark is a negative for the Nets going into this summer's vaunted NBA free agent class. It shouldn't be. The sparkling new Prudential Center in Newark has...
Offbeat Friday: You call that NCAA expansion? This is NCAA expansion.
What's going on with the NCAA these days? Should we expand March Madness? Should the Big Ten grab 15 more teams and still ironically refer to themselves as "Ten"? Should other conferences grab smaller schools and act like adding ECU to their conference slate suddenly earns them $100 million in...
This week in Tony Soprano-dom
More hurdles abound for the long planned theft of the New Jersey Nets, despite a sweetheart deal with the MTA. Mr. Ratner’s highest hurdle may be in securing tax-exempt financing, which would reduce his borrowing costs by tens of millions of dollars. If he fails to meet the Dec. 31 deadline, Mr....

Cold Shooting Costs Miami Against New Jersey
This game was basically the Heat shooting very poor for 2 ½ quarters then trying to claw their way back. Unfortunately for them, the cold shooting returned and Jarvis Hayes couldn’t miss down the stretch. D-Wade had some rust to shake off, and we’re still waiting for him to...
Heat @ Nets GAMEDAY
Enough is enough. The Heat were playing their best ball of the season, but an unfortunate series of events led to a very rough schedule and two straight road losses. Tonight in New Jersey the Heat have a great opportunity to get back on track against a good, but beatable Nets team. Miami could...
Supreme Effort Falls Short Against Boston In OT
Do...do I know you? 2 losses in a row hurts, but considering the circumstances it’s pretty understandable. Miami overcame a rough start and played an amazingly competitive game against Boston without their best player. Decision making on offense was questionable at times, but overall...
Jazz @ Heat GAMEDAY
The Jazz are coming off of their first loss in 13 games, falling in Atlanta on Wednesday night. While Utah has always been tagged as a ‘physical’ team since the days of Malone and Stockton (and even coach Jerry Sloan of you really want to go back), this year the team has certainly...
