This is an absolute must-win game for the Nets, especially because I will be attending it in person

. The Nets have struggled greatly on the boards, and in this game they know that they cannot afford to do so. Lawrence Frank has decided to make a change in the big-man rotation. What will change, we can only eagerly await.

We need this game. Must win.

Have fun at the game.

This is a do or die game for us. If we win, we gain some momentum and stay alive in the series, but if we lose, then it'll probably be a sweep.

we will ride the home court spirit to get atleast this game

 

[STC]

Good start. Lot of excitement in the arena.

The big three played great especially Kidd. Jefferson and Wright held Lebron to 18 points and the supporting cast couldn't get it done. Let's build off this win and get the next one too.

I was at my sister's house and they didn't have ESPN.

Glad to see the Nets won. Kidd really picked his game up from all sides, and it seems everybody else followed. From what I have read, it seems the Nets rebounded the ball much better, which led to more transition points.


Kidd = God

Kidd was absolutely phenomenal this game. Other than a couple of aweful stretches, the Nets played very well this game. The only player I noticed not playing well was Jason Collins: he made more than several mistake throughout the game.

If they turn the fake crowd noise off, you could mistake it for a library.

That's why they're moving to Brooklyn. Maybe they'll finally have some real fans like me.

I bet with the way Knicks are playing some of those not so faithful Knick fans will cross over, once they move.
