The Nets started the game off tonight against the Raptors extremely hot. And even built up a 19-10 lead tonight vs the Raptors. But that that point on the Nets went extremely cold from the field. And the hang over from all-star weekend was in full effect. The Nets shot 32% from the field after the 1st quarter. Ron Mercer (2-8 fg), Cliff Robinson (0-6), Jacque Vaughn (3-7) are some of the most noticable who really struggle to make a perimeter shot. But no one struggled more then former Raptor Vince Carter, despite having an encore performance of his spectacular move against the Lakers, you know the infamous 360 degree layup,yeah, he did it againt, the rest of the night for Carter was extremely forgettable. Poor shot selection and a bunch of turnovers led to a 7-23 performance. And actually probably put a slight smile on Vince Carter nay sayers. Carters defense was just as bad as former Raptor teammate Jalen Rose ripped Carter & the Nets to pieces. Rose finished 12 of 15 from the field in route to dropping 30 points on Jersey. Chris Bosh also took advange of the Nets then frontline, which was even thinner with Nenad Krstic out due to a illness. Bosh only finished 4 of 10 from the field but he was able to use his athletism to keep the Nets bigs in foul trouble. Bosh finished with 16 points- 12 rebounds, and 8 for 8 from the free throw line.
Nothing much else to talk about in a extremely dissappointing Atlantic division loss for the Nets. Good thing is they are able to put this game behind them and get right back at it tommorrow against Micheal Redd & the Bucks. Hopefully our defense intensity will have returned from the all-star break. And a few guys step up to help Kidd & Carter out on offense.
