Thorn to reveal game plan
Bergen Record

Nets president Rod Thorn will meet impending owner Mikhail Prokhorov in Dallas this weekend.
...Prokhorov won't take over until the NBA Board of Governors approves the sale from Bruce Ratner early next month, and contingencies regarding the Brooklyn arena site are met. The latter is expected by early April.
But Prokhorov would want a plan in place and people in position to execute it, which includes hiring a new head coach, preparing for an important draft and the NBA's biggest free agent class ever.

NetsAreScorching, THOUGHTS ON THE GAME: NETS ARE COOKED IN AN INSTANT
What I found most insulting was how Kiki finally called on CDR to play the game’s final three minutes in garbage time. Unless we read from one of the beat writers tomorrow that CDR missed his bus or threw a snowball at Bruce Ratner before the game yesterday, I just don’t understand how a guy could go from 15-point scorer in the starting lineup, to the 12th man treatment, in the span of a few weeks.
NoLandGrab: If Chris Douglas-Roberts threw a snowball at Boss Ratner, we'll give him a starting job — and his own log-in.
Huffington Post, Nets Attendance: Barely 1,000 Turn Out To See Team Lose Again
It was a sad sight in a sorry season.
In front of about 1,000 fans, the New Jersey Nets lost for the 48th time before the All-Star break, trounced 97-77 by the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.
...Despite the paltry turnout, the paid attendance for the game was 12,873.
NLG: They mean "paid" attendance. Wink. Wink.
