(4-7)

When: Monday, November 20, 2006
Where: Seattle, KeyArena

Playing the same team twice in a week makes it easy sometimes cause you start to know how the other team plays. The Nets are visiting the Sonics. The Nets have lost their last game against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Sonics have lost their lost game against the Golden State Warriors. Both teams are coming of losses so they will play hard to get back on the right track. Richard Jefferson is questionable for the game.

(Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Antonie Wright, Jason Collins, Nenad Krstic)

<font size="2"><u>Nets Leaders:</u></font>
<font size="2">Points: Vince Carter (27.6)</font>
<font size="2">Rebounds: Jason Kidd (8.2)</font>
<font size="2">Assists: Jason Kidd (8.6)</font>

(Luke Ridnour, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Chris Wilcox, Johan Petro)

<u><font size="2">Sonics Leaders:</font></u>
<font size="2">Points: Ray Allen (26.5)</font>

<font size="2">Assists: Luke Ridnour (6.5)</font></div>

Nets' Keys to victory:
<ul>
[*]<u>Contain the big 3</u>- Last game the Nets' had trouble defending, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, and surprisingly Luke Ridnour who scored a career high 32 points. Kidd will have to step up defensively as Ridnour will attack the basket.
[*]<u>Play Defense</u>- Last week when these 2 teams played the Nets allowed 119 points. The Nets will have to play better team defense to stop the Sonics from their high scoring.
[/list]

<u>Prediction:</u> The Sonics won the last game against the Nets, so the Nets are looking for revenge. I see the Nets winning by 7.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If you listen to the boss, who was yukking it up with Jefferson at shootaround, RJ could be back tonight. “We may keep him out until Wednesday, (but) there is a possibility he may go some tonight,” Rod Thorn said. Of course, this is the same guy who thought he had a chance to play back on Nov. 15th.</div>

I'm gonna lose a lot of sleep, because the game is at 10:00 here in NY.

Wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have to wake up at 6:30 for school tomorrow.

Man that was a sexy move by Wright.

At first I got scared when he went behind the back. I thought he would lose it.

Kidd's not involved enough in the 4th. When will we learn? Kidd has to be involved.

 

[NJNetz]

What is going on? Can someone explain it to me? We play a great first half, and then just start collapsing in the second half. We are playing like another young <u>bad</u> team. It's early but we need to get it together NOW.

I mean we have Vince missing shots left and right, as well as turning over the ball. Even J, is making some mistakes. We need to get our ish together or not play at all.

Kidd 6 pts 9 rebs 8 asts
Carter 27 pts 3 rebs 3 asts
Jefferson 9 pts 4 rebs
Krstic 16 pts 8 rebs
Wright 11 pts 11 rebs
Williams 8 pts 4 asts

Sorry, but I'm really dissappointed with the loss to Seattle. I expected the Nets to bounce back from the beating they had at home. Jason Kidd had 6 pts., 9 reb., and 8 ast. in 3 quarters and the Nets were up 70-66. But for some reason again, the offense wasn't going through Kidd. I just don't get it. Kidd took 6 shots, 1 attempt in the closing seconds of the game. Jason Kidd had no points, 2 rebounds, and no assists in the 4th. The Nets can't win that way.

Kidd works hard for the first 3 quarters and they don't get him involved in the crucial stages?

If that's the case, why put Kidd in at all? It's always the same DAMN story... We can't expect Carter to do it alone. When the Nets win, it's because of Carter, Kidd and Jefferson. Not just because of Kidd, not just because of Jefferson and not just because of Carter. The Nets had 14 shots in the 4th. 14 shot attempts and 4 made. Carter missed all 5 attempts from the field and was 4 of 6 from the line.
