Away/Home

It looked like things were finally starting to fit. The Nets were on a solid winning streak, holding the 7th seed in the east, only 2 games from .500, with two "easy" games: struggling Boston at home and AI-less Philly away. But somehow, they managed to lose both games and now find themselves struggling for the 8th seed once again. To top it all off, they face the hottest and best team in the league, and one of the best in the league in the last 5 years: the Dallas Mavericks (plus, it's all happening in Dallas, where the Nets have a 6 game losing streak going!).

With at least 7 players who can score 20 points in a game (you can count if you want) and a defense that resembles a brick wall, the Mavs seem unbeatable right now. With a 15 game winning streak going for them right now, the momentum is obviously on their side and they're going to take full advantage of it.

Starting Lineups:

New Jersey Nets:

PG:Jason Kidd
SG:Vince Carter
SF:Bostjan Nachbar
PF:Jason Collins
C:Mikki Moore

Dallas Mavericks:

PG:Jason Terry
SG:Greg Buckner
SF:Josh Howard
PF:Dirk Nowitzki
C:Brendan Haywood

Keys to the Game:

-Somehow contain Dirk, but still defend Terry, Howard and the rest.

-Umm...a little (or maybe a lot) of luck.

Prediction: Mavs +12

[Legacy]

We're actually not dieing.

 

[AMS_ICE]

Doesn't it sometime feel that we're hoping for something that's not there?

 

[NJNetz]

Lmao, anybody see Jason Terry kiss that old lady? Nice Gesture.

 

[AMS_ICE]

The Mavs made a nice gesture to the Nets by not blowing us out by 20!

 

[NJNetz]

Well at least we didn't get totally DEMOLISHED....

[Legacy]

At least we didn't get killed.

Monster game for Carter.

 

[Skiptomylue11]

How does Mikki Moore play 35 minutes and grab 1 rebound?

I like his 20 points and 3 blocks, but 1 rebound in 35 minutes?

 

[Windmill360?]

Nets put up a fight through much of the game. Moore played pretty good too, except on Dirk.

 

[Fitch4Delk00]

Vince with 13 free throws atleast hes driving more, we just dont have enough healthy players.
