The New Jersey Nets have been the alternative to the New York Knicks since their ABA days in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Nets tickets were preferred then for a brand of basketball that focused on a full court game that allowed Julius Erving to amaze fans with his ability to defy gravity. Those tickets while in the ABA were for a championship franchise that won the league finals twice.

About The New Jersey Nets
The move to the NBA in 1976 was not as smooth as Dr. J’s jumper, but the team tried to maintain its position as a contender and succeeded at the onset of the 1980s. New Jersey Nets tickets were available for a different type of basketball though. Dr. J was gone and Buck Williams and a team respected for its defense under the direction of Larry Brown emerged.
As with most Larry Brown teams, the club shone brightly for a few seasons before the coach became bored and frustrated with his players and left. Despite having a roster with Darryl Dawkins, Michael Ray Richardson, and Otis Birdsong the team eventually fell apart. New Jersey Nets tickets would be there for a lottery club for the rest of the decade. Tickets showed some promise with the additions of Derrick Coleman and Kenny Anderson in the ‘90s, but the death of Drazen Petrovic in a car accident signaled the end of the resurgence of the Nets in the ‘90s.
New Jersey had become a poster child for selfish play, and it would take the trade for Jason Kidd in 2001 to break that cycle of incredible individual talent but poor team play. Kidd made Nets tickets something to behold again. New Jersey was a joy to watch over the regular season, as season tickets were there for a division leading club from the start of the season schedule to the last games.
In Kidd’s first season as the Nets point guard New Jersey improved to 52-30 and went to the NBA Finals for the first time. The club could not over power the Los Angeles Lakers, but had become a lock for postseason tickets in the 21st century. The Nets had Finals tickets again the next season and again lost, this time to the San Antonio Spurs.
The front office tried to give Jason Kidd a cast of players he could mold into a championship team, but despite the improved play of Richard Jefferson, the trade for Dikembe Mutombo in 2002, and the addition of Vince Carter in 2004 New Jersey Nets tickets never returned to the NBA Finals, leaving fans at the Izod Center always wanting more.
The Nets unloaded Kidd last season for their point guard of the future in Devin Harris and began their rebuilding process. Nets tickets for this change in leadership should not be as bad as other franchises have endured, considering the talent the team has to play with. Vince Carter is still a dunking machine with a good jump shot when he is healthy and Bobby Simmons and Yi Jianlian are promising players from Milwaukee who have shown great potential and may just need a place to start over.
How far New Jersey Nets tickets will go is a mystery. This is a team that has great potential and the Eastern Conference may be weak enough to foster their development. The development of Sean Williams is almost as important as the development of Harris, Simmons, and Jianlian. It may be his ability in the post that could make the postseason a reality. He is an athletic player who had a bad rap as a “troubled” player and is working to prove himself in the league. He may be the final piece to a young upstart ready to make a surprise run at playoff tickets for the fans.
