I have no problem with no previews. This is probably what's going to happen. Nets fall behind early in the 1st. Carter firing up (and missing) 30 footers. Collins being eaten alive inside (as usual). Mikki Moore shoots more from 15ft out after providing the much needed inside presence in his first few starts. Jefferson is still injured so Wright, Adams and Nachbar will try to fill in. Jason Kidd will again play his butt off only to face disappointment in the end. And of course, Lawrence Frank's inability to make plays. Well, at least Thorn is laughing his ass off. And yes, the Nets lose again.

Wohoo!! Finally kicking some booty. Wonder if it will last?

Kidd is sore? 15 pts 6 asts 6 rebs in the first half. Not bad.

Kidd playing great with a cracked rib and leading scorer.

VC with 1 three attempt and 4 assists.

Beating a below 500 team.

Surprise surprise...


Now Kidd has 18 pts 7 asts 6 rebs.

 

[Legacy]

It's about damn time we play the way we are supposed to play.

Please stay this way!

 

[NJNetz]

And we still can't close out games.

The Nets had me scared but they managed to recover. Great game by Kidd and Carter. However, I think this was a team win, despite Kidd's and Carter's great individual performances.

Kidd 22 pts 13 rebs 10 asts
Carter 26 pts 11 rebs 5 asts
House 20 pts
Williams 19 pts

AMS_ice, if you're going to be that pessimistic, don't post. You have your opinion, and that's fine, but you've said it so many times already that it's gotten annoying. It's as if you want the team to lose so that your predictions about Thorn sealing the team's fate and blah blah blah will turn out to be correct.

Great game by the Nets, hopefully we can use this as momentum and start a winning streak to get back to .500. Carter is finally driving instead of settling for the jump shot, and Kidd seems 4 years younger.
