Heat And Nets Reveal Nickname Jerseys
On Friday, Brooklyn and Miami will meet while wearing jerseys with the players' nicknames on the back. Marketing gimmick? You bet!

Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov had a fantastic game last night, finishing with 17 points and 20 rebounds against the band of desiccated corpses that currently makes up the Nets roster.

The NBA's Atlantic Division Is (So Far) The Worst Division Of All Time
The Raptors, 76ers, and Knicks lost on Sunday, which means that, through 86 games, the Atlantic Division had a winning percentage of .314. You can't blame Philadelphia, whose 6-12 record has put them on track to crush its preseason over/under of 16.5 wins. Boston and Toronto were expected to be medi...
