Well, my question is, did the Nets get anything for second place last year? We all know the champions get championship rings, but I think my brother told me years ago, that 2nd place gets the 2nd place ring. Is this true? Does 2nd place get anything? If so, what is it?
I never heard of second place rings, but I was at the NETS game last nite, and the raising of the Eastern Conference Championship Banner was awesome. No bull -- as a long suffering Nets fan it literally almost brought tears to my eyes. I was really choked up!!

BTW, because of my offer he couldn't refuse to Don Corpuzzi earlier in this thread to get him a ticket to game 7 of the NBA finals if its Lakers vs. Nets AND the game is in New Jersey...

Don Corpuzzi--the Nets were awesome last night. I looked over the schedule, and I'm predicting a record of 60-22. With Shaq loafing for half the year with his toe, that should be good enough for home court advantage throughout the playoffs. See you in New Jersey in June -- that's IF the Lakers make the finals and IF they manage to take my Nets to 7 games!!!
