Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King says P.J. Carlesimo will not return as coach in 2013-14.
Joe Johnson slumped in Game 7, only scoring six points as the Nets were eliminated.
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.
Carmelo Anthony isn't letting a sore shoulder get in his way when the Knicks square off against the Pacers on Sunday
The Nets are counting on a true home-court advantage against the banged-up Bulls on Saturday night.
The Knicks are writing a new chapter of history after winning their first playoff series since 2000.
Now that NBA player Jason Collins has come out as gay, activists say the next step is not just about which player will come out next, but also about which players stand up and support those who are gay.
"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.
If this series goes seven games, watch out. There's a good chance the Knicks would completely unravel under the pressure.

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.
Last summer, Collins considered joining an old Stanford college roommate, U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, at Boston's gay pride parade. The NBA veteran eventually decided he shouldn't. But he will in 2013.
No use looking back now for the Brooklyn Nets. Game 4 hurt, physically and mentally, but there's nothing they can do about it.
The Knicks will try to end their best-of-seven series Wednesday night in front of New York's fans -- and Anthony is confident his team can get it done.
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.
Knicks came back from down 20 to force overtime. It wasn't enough as the Celtics took Game 4 as the series heads back to MSG.
J.R. Smith, the league's Sixth Man of the Year, will be forced to sit out when the Knicks try to complete a four-game sweep Sunday.
Do you think Carlesimo should return to the Nets in 2013-14?
