Nets look to move forward with Hollins

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- To a man, the Brooklyn Nets realize that the 2013-14 season was a bit of a disappointment, despite winning a first-round series against Toronto before getting swept out of the playoffs by Miami.
So as they met for media day Friday at their practice facility, the Nets recognized they have turned the page on last season. Former head coach Jason Kidd unceremoniously moved on after just one season to Milwaukee, and veteran NBA head coach Lionel Hollins has been given the responsibilities to replace Kidd, perhaps the franchise's best player ever.
The Nets struggled out of the gate with a new lineup last season as veteran superstars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett tried to get acquainted with a new coach, new team and new surroundings. They were 10-21 at one point, but rebounded well down the stretch to make the Eastern Conference playoffs as the No. 6 seed.
