Zo, Riley See Nets as a Threat

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After beating the Nets by six and seven points--and putting Richard Jefferson on the bench with a boot, the Heat still do not see the Nets as an easy mark. In fact, Alonzo Mourning and Pat Riley say the Nets have improved and could be a threat to them repeating as champs. Mourning once again asserted that he wanted out of New Jersey because the organization didn't have the commitment to winning.</div>

Alonzo probably meant that the Nets were trying to kill him again.

It's good to see the Heat think of us as contenders.

The Nets could have won both games against them. Riley knows it. The Nets could have been 5-0. Miami lost to the Bulls by 42. Houston coasted to a 22 point win. Philadelphia edged them 107-98. It seems that Miami has some sort of spell over the Nets. New Jersey can't seem to get over the hump against the Heat. Hopefully Coach Frank can find the antidote soon.
