Jason Collins was just hounding him, and shoving him around. Bosh settled for contested jump shots, and they weren't falling. It wasn't until the 4th when he really took initiative, and started to drive in for baskets.Both our PG's played inspired ball....TJ Ford was unbelievable in the 1st half...He was hitting everything left and right....he didn't pass the ball well the whole game...but he really shot, and scored the ball well....He created a spark, and helped us build an advantage going into the half...Jose Calderon was also good. He was nailing jumpers coming off of screens. His 17 footers are just a joy to watch...the rotation is just perfect...everything...it's just beautiful to watch..Anyway, he passed the ball better than TJ, but he still didn't have a great passing game.I would say Andrea was the POTG. He really had his shot going...He was nailing turnaround jumpers, mid rangers, threes, everything...He even had a nice move in the paint, that he just couldn't convert unfortunately...Mo was good...He hit shots when we needed him to...but he wasn't that involved in the offense...He just came in to play the best defense he could possibly muster against VC...and he did a pretty damn great job at it too...Anthony Parker was a bit of a letdown...I thought he was going to have one of his 24+ point huge offensive games...I swear it was deja vu 2 times over...He did the exact same thing 3 times...He curled off a screen, ran to the middle of the key, set his feet, and then sank the jumper...He just wasn't that involved later in the game...It's not that he played poorly or anything...Juan made 2 committed 2 straight travels during one stretch...I was yelling at him through the TV screen....but then he came back and nailed a long three, and that pretty much yielded my criticism towards him....For the Nets, Kidd was f*cking amazing...This game he actually scored the ball well...He made two straight threes....I think he finished with like 16 or 18 points...but it was his passing that killed us...man oh man...He's just like Steve Nash on the break...He finds the open man perfectly, reads the angles perfectly, creates plays out of nothing....this guy is just f*cking amazing....omg....RJ really did a great job too...He is so aggressive...every chance he gets, he'll try to attack and get to the line...and he was the one who got the game winner...yes, you guessed it...off of a JKidd pass....man....Dissapointing finish to our season...but hey...who the F*ck expected us to do this well? I'm just happy that this is only the first chapter....The rest of the book looks very, very promising...Until next time...!edit: Anyway,....hopefully the Cavs can thrash the sh*t out of these assholes..</div>The cavs won't thrash us.

So what do you mean? I just posted that because you were trying to show me up because I predicted the Raps to win...Hypocrite...

Wow CB4 why do you want us to get killed? And whats the purpose of calling us assholes. If you did somehow come back and win the series, I would have rooted for you guys to beat the Cavs. Talk about being a sore loser... :no1:

You would want the team that kicked you guys out of the playoffs to do well? The Nets are my least favourite NBA team.....so yeah...I hope they get abbused by the Cavs......you bet..

 

[jkidd51524]

Yeah because 1. I hate LeBron and 2. I like underdog stories, and you guys beating the Cavs would be a underdog story. Don't be a sore loser, but what ever. Pay up on that sig bet man :dribble:

 

[CB4allstar]

when did you agree with it? Show me the post...and I'll wear a Nets sig for 2 weeks or w/e it was...

 

[TJFord11]

Cavs got some guys that can play some solid D on the big 3 of NJ, Im expecting a very long series.

By the way.. I'm I doing the game thread for the Cavs and Nets games? I never really thought what the deal was with that, but I'll make one in a few minutes and post it up anyway.

Cavs suck. NJ will tear them apart with their run-and-gun offense led by Kidd. Kidd will definitely outplay Hughes in this series, and Jefferson can do a pretty good job on LeBron. Just like Z knocks down jumpers for Cleveland, Mikki Moore will make it rain for New Jersey.

</div>We will crush the Cavs. :dribble:

 

[CB4allstar]

Unless Lebron is absolutely dominant, I also think the Nets have the edge in this one...They looked really good last series. Kidd is amazing, Carter was streaky, Jefferson is so aggressive, and a great all around player....and they play good defense...especially Jason Collins..He's a little f*cking pest...If they can out run Cleveland, then they have the advantage.

 

[jkidd51524]

You threw in the "Nets own the Craptors" lol. Thanks for being a good sport about it.

 

[Pacers fan forever]

Are you kidding? Cavs in 6.

[Roaming]

Iwanna see that series though. I wonder sicne the Raptors are out if they will be airing playoffs on Canadian TV.

 

[ballerman2112]

I want to know why New Jersey fans are so damn confident right now...? So they beat a team with NO playoff experience. Big deal...The Nets are still a 500 team and they are playing a better team in the Cavs who happen to have one of the best players in the NBA. Give me Cavs in 6.
