Looks like we'll probably get a good look at our starting 5 tonight, with a line up of Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Krstic, Collins</p>

edit: the NBA hates us and isn't offering a live audio option for our game. I'll try and find a sopcast address</p>

Go to this webpage for the sopcast link. Just click on the orange 'play' link and it'll open for you automatically</p>

9min for Magloire, 6 points and 6 rebounds.</p>

 

[GMJ]

I would if I could! At least then I wouldn't have to watch boxscores!</p>

I've been watchin on and off, as I have a ton of work to do this weekend. Looking pretty solid so far... though there have been a number of stupid turnovers. I'm most happy to see Krstic movin up and down the court after that disaster last season. Kidd looks fine to me, and there is no reason to doubt he will continue what he's done in the past.</p>

</p>

Thanks dude. I forgot to check MSG.</p>

</p>

 

[soul driver]

besides the turnovers, they're looking good. I'm especially happy with Maglorie's performance tonight. He's been great on both ends. If he continues playing at least similiar to this the whole season, that's a really really good sign.

 

[jarkid]

ESPN commentators are saying the Nets is the No.2 in the Eastern Conference.</p>

 

[pegs]

Krstic, great on defense. Screws up on offense.</p>

Kidd just properly defended Stephon, and the Nets ran. Vince gets to the line. I love that, they run right away.</p>

This is the kind of play we need to see from this team.</p>

 

[pegs]

btw, 63-44 blowout. Guess who's winning. Not the team that's a lock for the playoffs, accoring to SI.</p>

 

[soul driver]

hey, semi-ot, any update on malik allen?
can't wait till Sean plays tonight. first time we get to see him and Kidd have fun.

 

[uptown4784]

Magloire is playing pretty good..missing piece to puzzle?</p>

 

[soul driver]

that's what I'm thinking too. Maglorie + the K-Mart like Sean Williams (though unexperienced, but still.. ) may be a great piece to the puzzle.

This is what we are expecting. Kidd + Magloire</p>

 

[pegs]

Magloire just blocked Lee. And they ran down to the other end, JKidd fed him a great pass, and Magloire made an and-1 against Malik Rose. Awesome. Missed the FT, but then then they got a 2nd chance opportunity and RJ made a 3.</p>

Awesome. Pretty exciting right there, actually.</p>

 

[soul driver]

that layup was great! one handed push!

 

[jarkid]

Kidd Carter Jefferson Magloire Krstic the Best</p>

 

[jarkid]

But Magloire is a bad free throw shooter...</p>

20 - 3 run by the Nets in the 3rd qtr.</p>

 

[jarkid]

Hey, we want Sean Williams.</p>

 

[jarkid]

We will be a bad free throw shooting team.</p>

</p>

plus Krstic and Allen and Boone. Nothin wrong wit that.</p>

The whole nets bench is standing up, rooting on the team as they smack the Knicks. It's pretty cool, actually.</p>

David Lee is doing good as always, gettin his hustle on and proving his worth as a basketball player. Got an offensive rebound over Magloire and made a bucket, then made an inbounds steal and fed it to Jamaal. Lee should be traded, he just doesn't fit in with this team.</p>

Magloire misses two more ft's. three in a row. then goes and tries to make a play by himself, but gets beat defensively by Malik Rose. Wow. Yuck. He's trying, it just isn't happening now.</p>

72-53, guess who's still up? Yup, that same team that SI said wouldn't make the playoffs over el Knick-o's.</p>

 

[soul driver]

I agree. we have a comfortable 20 point lead right now. c'mon Frank, I know Sean wants in it!

</p>

Hite, Wright, Nach, Booney, and Williams should be in. That'd be awesome.</p>

 

[jarkid]

Sure, we have a good offensive center - Nenad Krstic, Power dunking man - Sean Williams, and original rebounder - Magloire.</p>

We are really good.</p>

</p>

Before, we only had Kenyon, but we don't have a good offensive center and good rebounding center,</p>

now we have KMart like Sean Williams, Krstic, and Magloire, we are going to win.</p>

 

[soul driver]

Sean's in it!

 

[soul driver]

first play was an attempted alley-opp Kidd to Williams! Too bad SW was fouled

 

[jarkid]

Sean Williams is in.</p>
