This is our time to gain some ground on the Jazz. They are on the 2nd game of a 5 game road trip in which they're 0-1 and probably going to lose another. Meanwhile we have a bunch of our next 10 games at home.

 

[Legacy]

hahahahahaha

Nets are raw.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Too bad they couldn't have played that way against us the other night.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. That's amazing.

 

[KingSpeed]

It should be noted that the Spurs had a game last season where they only scored 6 pts in the first quarter and they still won.

 

[KingSpeed]

Might've been 8. Can't remember. I think it was 6. How does that happen?

 

[bodyman5001]

Jazz will win. Or come really close. Happens in the NBA all the time.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

damn, cursed it.....outscored them 24-12 in 2nd.

 

[Sedatedfork]

4 point game right now...

 

[gambitnut]

Nets up 6 after 3.

 

[Drink Your Milkshake]

Ouch, Utah is 3-9 against the East before the results of this game.

 

[B-Roy]

Jazz about to win. Nice job jinxing it.

Nobody jinxed it, you could see this one coming a mile away. I gotta go find a nets site game thread just to read the horror they went through.

 

[RoyToy]

A 30+ pt swing.

Are you shitting me?

 

[Jurassic]

LMAO @ the Nets and their fans.

 

[yenniedn]

WOW - talk about pissing away a lead!

 

[MAS RipCity]

the Jazz are a WEAK squad. Just wait until they go on more road trips, their record will dwindle away. AMAZING home team, just atrocious on the road.

 

[alex42083]

Wow..... how do you allow just seven points in a quarter and still give up 103? New Jersey's terrible... Time for the Nets to blow up and trade us Devin Harris.

 

[ehizzy3]

new jersey sucks

 

[KingSpeed]

New Jersey doesn't suck. They lost, yes, but they are playing well above pre-season expectations. They blew a lead and lost a game. It happens to everyone.

 

[andalusian]

The NJN is a bad defensive team - our defense looks like world-class defense compared to them - but suck they do not.

Man, the Devin Harris thread didn't even get bumped after this game. I guess 21 pts, 11 asts, 4 stls, is just too average for him now.

Still, he is no J. Jack.

If KP had been successful in landing Harris, I wonder how his critics in this forum would have reacted? Would they still be dissing him - or would they be pushing him as an all-star?

Up to a point, I understand homerism and the tendency to overvalue your own players. I *don't* understand the compulsion to knee-jerk rip on players from other teams.
