Lets face facts

Well, less than 10% of the season is over. I didn't think the Nets would win more than 47 or so, mainly because you couldnt count on Kidd and Carter to again miss only two games to injury, which is what they did last season. That looks about right, maybe a bit optimistic.</p>

I grow less and less enamored of Frank, particularly in his inability to construct an offense. He also looks lost in developing a rotation.</p>

On the other hand, Williams and Wright have surprised. Boki you may recall started slowly last year too. Krstic will probably be doing the two steps forward, one step back through early January. Collins, I believe, is through. He will start for a while and play defense on big men like Shaq and Howard and JON...but his minutes are starting to shrink dramatically. I wish I knew where Carter would wind up.</p>

All that said, if by early January, this team is playing at less than .500, I wouldn't be surprised by anything.</p>

Exactly how I feel.</p>

After doing some thinking on the subject, I remembered that at the end of last season I was more in favor of making the lottery with the playoffs.</p>

Now opinion aside, that doesn't change the fact that we were in a position to make the lottery.</p>

I still think that our improvements should make us a more competative regular season team, and that if we can cut out major injuries that should help us win games as well. But when the season-starting grace period is over (rotation is determined, offense is learned, sloppy mistakes hopefully decreased), and we're still a mediocre team, maybe we should revisit trading for Jermaine O'Neal?</p>

I'd still hate to give up Marcus though. I guess my feelings are driven by the emergance of Sean, which in turns increases my feelings on giving up Krstic.</p>
