Have the latest Nets victories been flukes? Do the Nets really have what it takes to compete against the best teams in the league?
This game is very important for the Nets because they will get a change to see where they really are. Detroit is consistently good, whereas the Nets are inconsistent. They can win this game if they bring their A-game and Detroit brings its B-game.

Prediction: 97-82. Nets won't be able to play well against Detroit's defense.

It's all good as long as we have a place to talk about the game.

 

[Carter15Nets]

keep turning it over see if i care anymore this is rediculous they making antonio old pos mcdyess look like mcdyess from 96

 

[Carter15Nets]

THATS A V C THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[JCB]

Tie game. Have only seen a few minutes of the game so far, but overall, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

 

[Carter15Nets]

MARCUS WILLIAMS - NBA BUST

NO WONDER WHY EVERYONE PASSED UP ON HIM

 

[NJNetz]

Marcus is dribbling the ball too much. Pass it around.

 

[Black Republican]

GO NETS

 

[Dark Defender]

Marcus seems to be progressing, he went from god awful to painful to watch, hey thats how Boone started.

About Boone, he is playing without fear right now. I think that was the biggest problem in his game, he was intimated.

I'm loving the RJ for VC and vice versa substitution, the Nets have a 20+ threat on the floor at all times this way.

 

[Black Republican]

VC's hot like heroin.

 

[Dark Defender]

The team is playing great ball except for that last 3 minutes of the quarter (what else is new). Sean Williams and Boone are a great duo, I love watching them play. Sean alters the shots and Boone scoops up the boards, great combo.

You have to keep the Pistons off the boards, great job at doing that this game but not good enough. The Nets should have a 5 point lead right now if it wasn't for offensive rebounding.

Some tick tack calls on the Nets while the Pistons are getting away with a lot of hacks on the other end, can't blame the refs though.

Good game so far and I hope to god the Nets don't let up and come back with the same fire the next half.

 

[soul driver]

notice how the Nets fall apart with Allen and Collins in at the same time? But then again, what else is new? Either way, close half, and besides some turnovers on us, we really could win this if we step it up a notch in the 2nd half.

 

[NJNetz]

Looks like we're done?

 

[soul driver]

yep

 

[Jizzy]

nets getting owned,

 

[Dark Defender]

So predictable, Detroit is a great defensive team though.

The Nets come out of the locker room hoping the Pistons would give a half assed effort like they do.

 

[soul driver]

there's two teams we can't beat in the east, pistons and celtics. i don't mind losing to either.

And the Knicks.

 

[JCB]

Nice job refs. Idiots.

 

[soul driver]

I've turned it off.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Robbed on 2 successive plays.

The Pistons has been the most consistent team in the EAST. They have been in the conference finals since 2003 and will be there this year against Boston.


As much as people would like to believe that the EAST is wide open it's not. The Pistons will always be there as long as they keep this core together.

 

[soul driver]

^ I agree...

How bout em Raptors?

 

[soul driver]

raps have been pretty inconsistant this season too. I think we can get them on an off night for them.

the thing that amazes me is that the nets at there best could barley stay with teams like the pistons and Boston. This what puts me in favor of rebuilding or breaking up the three.

You always have to measure yourself at the best. Not just the Nets but Boston and others.

When I see games like this. It hit me that this current team is not enough and instead of settling for mediocre why not just build for the future?

 

[hustler]

Yesss Rodney, dunk that sh!t.

 

[hustler]

Jason Kidd with 2 points? What's up with that.
