Nets-Bulls Game 1: Things to Know

° Derrick Rose: definitely not coming back today, and maybe not ever. Good news if you were idling on placing that 60-to-1 bet for the Bulls to win the championship.

° Nazr Mohammed claims to have a “master plan.” (Does it involve getting dunked on?)

° Joakim Noah isn’t starting Game 1, nor does he sound like someone who’ll factor much into this series.

° Kris Humphries chose basketball over broken love.

° If you’re attending the game in person, make sure to get there early: Security will be a little tighter in the wake of the Boston attacks.

° Brooklyn’s playoff song is by Fall Out Boy, according to some guy.

° How Brook Lopez gets open. Highly relevant if Noah isn’t there, and if Taj Gibson is still battling injury.
