Gonna be tough.. i say nets win this..although I love the raps, if we need the crowd to be really really behind us just to only be within 10 or so points of the nets, i cant imagine what it might be in the n.j. hometown. GO RAPS!

I'm thinking the opposite. We haven't shot the ball well at all in either game. It's only a matter of time IMO that we break out.

I got the nets to win this game.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jason Kidd was sent to the doctor Thursday with swelling in his left knee. The injury came early in Game 2 and he played through it the rest of the way, so that's a positive. Of course, the Nets are still waiting on a diagnosis from Dr. David Alcheck in New York.</div>

Raptors shooting > Vince Carter shooting, if the whole Raptors team shows up and starts lighting it up, it doesn't matter if Carter scores 50.

 

[Master Shake]

I think raps need to win at least one. Both would be good, but then they swing back 2 T.O., it goes 7 final game in toronto. GO RAPS GO!

 

[STC]

Should be another good game.

 

[NewYorkBalla33]

This is a must win for the nets.

Not a surprise. I knew Kidd would play through it.

 

[NJNetz]

This is why Carter is pissing me off. He's unstoppable right now because he's driving in, so why can't he do it all the time? Must be the booing, that's getting to him.

He looks mad tired though, so maybe his conditioning is crap.

 

[Next Level Game]

Jason Kidd is nothing short of remarkable.

 

[Legacy]

Vince is actually driving in for once.

Kidd is dishing the ball like crazy, RJ is playing good and so is Boki. Toronto is playing like crap and we are forcing lots of turnovers. Lets keep up this play in the second half.

 

[NJNetz]

Kidd is just a MONSTER! Carter is one too, well when he wants to be. As a Nets and Kidd fan, it was a great game to watch.

Kidd 16 pts 16 rebs 19 asts
Carter 37 pts 5 asts
Jefferson 18 pts 6 rebs
Nachbar 9 pts

[Mr. J]

That's a true triple-double: 16/16/19.

Even if you don't like him, you have to respect that statline.

 

[playmaker15]

Awesome game from the Nets. Vince attacked the rim and just destroyed people while Kidd showed why he's arguably the best PG in the league. Rj adding 18 was big too.

 

[lakers_kb24]

Great game by the Nets. Kidd and Carter was playing like crazy. Awesome statline for Kidd.

 

[kobe23]

Nice win and better yet... what a performance by Kidd with that monster triple double

 

[NewYorkBalla33]

Damn, in this game there wasn't 1 second when i was sitting down, VC 37 points with 5 assits, and holy s**t congratulations to Mr. Kidd 16 points, 16 rebounds, with 19 assists to go with that. Congratulations nets!!!

That is just unbelieveable, Kidd amazes me every year. I don't really see how Nash is that much better then Kidd when they both are in the playoffs every season, both have a great stat line. Nash has 2 MVP's but Kidd has 2 finals trips.

Exactly. When was the last time Nash had a game like this, or even a triple double?

16, 16, 19 ... Wow.
