<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Lawrence Frank and Rod Thornareprofessing their surprise&ndash;and happiness&ndash;at Nenad Krstic&rsquo;s return to action Thursday night in New Jersey. &ldquo;He was much better than I thought he was going to be,&rdquo; said Frank. &ldquo;It looked like offensively, he hadn&rsquo;t missed a beat,&rdquo; added Thorn. So much so that the Nets are penciling in their seven-footer for Opening Night. Now, though, they have to worrywhether Jason Kidd will also be ready.</div></p>

He played really well. He even made a 3. His stroke looked better then ever.</p>

But there wasn't much lift in his jumpshot. You can tell he's being very cautious.</p>

Can you blame him? It's his first game since the injury, he's gonna play like that, yet he was still stroking it. It looked great from the highlights.</p>

No one is blaming him, he put up a great show. All I'm saying is when he gets his full confidence back and his mind off the injury, I expect him to be a threat from both the 3 point-line as well as the paint. Seeing him stroke jumpers without a full lift is awesome, because it makes you wonder what to expect when he is 100%.</p>

I hope Krstic shaved his hair, it would make him more good-looking.</p>

All I know is that he will be the X-Factor in our season and something the Celts don't have. </p>

Better to be safe than sorry.</p>

I wanna see how Krstic runs, defends, and rebounds. In that game, he only got 1 rebound..not really something you'd like to see. Kinda makes me nervous, to be honest.</p>

I was amped up the other night at that game. I was literally shouting out: "he made a 3!! he made a 3!!! what other big man does that!? "
