After all the money, all the hype, and all the expectations that came with owning home-court advantage in an NBA playoff series, Brooklyn's inaugural season ended with a dud.

After all the money, all the hype, and all the expectations that came with owning home-court advantage in an NBA playoff series, Brooklyn's inaugural season ended with a dud.
The Nets are counting on a true home-court advantage against the banged-up Bulls on Saturday night.
Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng made it clear Friday on Twitter that the illness that kept him out of a playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets was far more serious than the flu.
"Having a seventh game here in Brooklyn on our court is something that, obviously, we were hoping for. Our players delivered. And I think the fans are going to deliver in a big time way tomorrow night," Yormark told WCBS 880's Steve Scott.
Now both Brooklyn and Chicago face do-or-die scenarios, and you would think that the Nets should have the momentum.
Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson each scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets again avoided elimination, beating the short-handed Chicago Bulls 95-92 Thursday to tie their first-round series at 3.
Despite being in a 3-2 hole against the Chicago Bulls, the Brooklyn Nets insist they are the team to beat in this best-of-seven series.
The most pressing matter for Brooklyn is trying to find a way to win in Chicago, something it hasn't done this season. The Nets dropped both regular-season matchups there and lost Games 3 and 4.
Though I've got to stick with my Bulls in six prediction, maybe the Nets have finally figured out how to close games. I'd give almost anything to be wrong.
Brook Lopez had 28 points and 10 rebounds, Deron Williams added 23 points and 10 assists, and the Brooklyn Nets beat Chicago 110-91 on Monday night, cutting the Bulls' lead to 3-2 in their first-round playoff series.
No use looking back now for the Brooklyn Nets. Game 4 hurt, physically and mentally, but there's nothing they can do about it.
Game 4 hurt the Nets physically and mentally, but there's nothing they can do about it. They're focused on Game 5 in Brooklyn.

Joe Johnson's inspiration wasn't enough as the Brooklyn Nets lost Game 4 in triple OT. The Bulls take a 3-1 series lead.
Give me $330 million to spend on contracts and I can piece together a pretty good team, too. And why knight King before the Bulls are slain?
Brook Lopez led the Nets with 22 points, but it wasn't enough as the Nets lost 79-76 to the Bulls in Game 3. The Bulls are now up 2-1 in the series.
Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Johnson is in the starting lineup for Thursday night's playoff game against the Chicago Bulls despite a nagging left foot injury.
King's deal was set to expire at the end of the 2012-13 NBA season. The Nets have greatly improved under King's watch and were able to lock down the number four seed after a 49-33 regular season.
Joakim Noah feels like he's running on needles and Joe Johnson can probably sympathize.
"It's sore, but there's no excuse," the Nets guard said Wednesday. "I have to find a way to get through it."
When the series shifts to Chicago for Game 3 on Thursday, all eyes will be on Williams, who will have not only the ball but the entire complexion of the series in his hands.
Pockets of empty seats at the Barclays Center. A healthy contingent of fans clad in the opponent's colors. Was there supposed to be a playoff game in Brooklyn last night?
Carlos Boozer had 13 points and 12 rebounds, Joakim Noah gutted his way through a foot injury to make three fourth-quarter baskets, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Nets 90-82 on Monday night to even their first-round series at one game apiece.
"Now they probably feel like they've got their back against the wall and that's how we've got to play," Deron Williams said.
