Re: NBA: BOSTON (4-0) at NEW JERSEY (4-1)
This loss leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. If you really look at it, the Celtics were just better than us in the 3rd quarter. Other than that, we really kept it close.</p>
But right now, I'm concerned with VC. It might be a straightforward sprain, but any injury can be costly.</p>
Kidd 17 pts 6 rebs 12 asts</p>
Carter 17 pts 4 rebs</p>
Jefferson 28 pts 4 rebs</p>
Williams 10 pts 4 rebs</p>
Armstrong 10 pts</p>
Boxscore</p>

Agree, he didn't do anything in the whole entire game.</p>
Except make a few shots I guess. Good game though, was very exciting at times.</p>

Re: NBA: BOSTON (4-0) at NEW JERSEY (4-1)
My take on the Celtics is that they are the best team in the east by far.</p>
I like how they are playing but you can't expect them to play this good all year long, no team is this dominant for a whole season. I think they will come out of the east though.</p>

Re: NBA: BOSTON (4-0) at NEW JERSEY (4-1)
And remember we played without our 2nd best defender in Posey and without Veal, which you Nets fans seem to like. lol</p>
Great game, and we're still undefeated.</p>
Now tell me, who here makes great sigs, I needs two of them made for my friends Jigga and Black Republican.

They can't play their starters 40 minutes plus the entire season, but they are sick, it's so hard to defend them on offense and Pierce got open too many times.</p>
Nets have to figure a way to score on this team, not an awful showing, but they have to score.</p>

Re: NBA: BOSTON (4-0) at NEW JERSEY (4-1)
I would be pissed if I were a Nets fan. The Celtics were on the bad end of a back to back with two of their main reserves out (andtheir bench is supposed be be horrible, even with them). I, as a Celtics fan, thought the Nets were going to win tonight. I don't know why so many of you guys are comfortable with the loss.</p>

I would be pissed if I were a Nets fan. The Celtics were on the bad end of a back to back with two of their main reserves out (andtheir bench is supposed be be horrible, even with them). I, as a Celtics fan, thought the Nets were going to win tonight. I don't know why so many of you guys are comfortable with the loss.</p>
</div></p>
Because you lost Posey and Veal, and we lost Vince Carter. And then we cut it to single digits before the intentional fouling started. See you next week</p>

Blah, were used to slow starts in the season, I'll take a 4-2 start.</p>
Vince going down and Sean Williams impressing for the 2nd time makes the loss go to the back burner a bit. I'm still pissed because we could have taken this if it wasn't for that horrible 3rd. Good game though.</p>

Imagine if Carter played the whole way and if Krstic played well. We only lost by 11 counting those 2 factors, the next game will be much closer.</p>
</div></p>
</p>
Two big IFs. If Carter played, Armstrong woudn't have hit two big threes, nor would Williams produce the same results. We played better without VC, because we moved the ball more. Even with the new offense, had Carter been on the floor, the offense would have been much more stagnant.</p>

It's only Game 5, dawg. We'll OWN your team next Wed.</p>
</div>I'm actually not on the team, I just happen to like them.</p>
But what will the Nets do differently? Sure, they couldn't score in the 3rd, but they were totally on fire in the 1st and couldn't pull away. It's all well and good to saythe Nets aregoing to beat them, but based on what we saw tonight, how will they approach it differently?</p>

Re: NBA: BOSTON (4-0) at NEW JERSEY (4-1)
But you guys can agree that you didn't expect this kind of a start from the Celtics. (maybe one or two of you guys did but 95% including us celtics fans didn't think they'd be this good)</p>
Everyone was saying how our bench sucks, etc, we're a three man team. Now I'm not saying they'll win 82 games, but if KG, Allen and Pierce are healthy and we reach the playoffs, we have a shot at the title and would probably be the favorites.</p>

We had a crap 3rd quarter, lost our starting 2 guard, and ended up cutting the lead to single digits at the end of the game. I'll take that this early in the season any day.</p>

It's 5 games into the season. Don't know if I'd make that bold of a statement this early in the season if I were you.</p>

Re: NBA: BOSTON (4-0) at NEW JERSEY (4-1)
Thats what I'm saying though its only 5 games and the chemistry is nowhere near where it should be, they're still adjusting to each other while still winning games. I personally expect them to get even better.</p>

</div>Yes, you did have a crap 3rd quarter, but you also shot about 75% in the first quarter and couldn't even take a lead. And yes, Carter got hurt, but the Nets were down 21 at that point.</p>
By the way, congratulations on your late game run in garbage time.</p>

</div>Yes. What was the Nets biggest lead of the game? 5? If you come out shooting that well, you need to bury the other team a little more than that.</p>
