"They get it"

[GMJ]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Somewhere in the last week, the Nets got it. They embraced the precept with both hands, they looked like a team that that was determined to tear their opponent's head off in the very first quarter, and they showed the heart and tenacity required to finish games against two elite teams after the scores inevitably tightened.</div>

Wow. Good article, and it made me really wanna just watch the Nets play ASAP.

Something else of note...Vince Carter is actually playing like he gives a shit again...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Notes: Vince Carter is shooting 30 percent (21-for-69) in his last four games, but it's hard for a coach to stay mad at him: He's playing as hard as ever, still attacking the rim, and he's doing more than his share of work on the glass (8.0 rpg in his last three games).... Frank gave his team off yesterday.</div>

Gotta love what this whole team is doing right now. Although...still, I'm prepared as ever for a big letdown.

Still waiting for the big letdown but always nice to see us play that well.

iv been watchin the games lately and i can deft see the difference in the way frank is coaching... he wants them to just start running... and i liked how he had harris and m. williams in... at the sametime... and VC and RJ are doing what they are suppose to be doing.

P.S. thank you RJ for not disappearin the fourth vs the jazz
