It's important for the Nets to get off to a fast start. Take advantage of Arenas being out, I expect Harris to have a big game. Nets win!

That looks great dude.

Nice job.

That's a tough match up for Yi. Other than that match up I like the others. I think we got enough to pull this game out, it's gonna be shoot out.

Yes!

2 more days to season opener

Go Nets!!!

I don't take much stock in pre-season, but...

Man,,, I am excited waiting to see good things out of Lopez, CDR, Boone, Harris. Everyone else... meh.. my expectations aren't so high.

Butler is gonna have a field day against simmons...

I'm kind of excited to see what Lopez can do..

Boone might be ready to start.

I think Boone needs to forget about starting. The quicker he accepts it the smooth the transition.

Go Nets!!!!!

Fire Frank!!!!

Wiz fan here. I think this is a great game to kick it off for both teams. I really like our matchup of AJ vs YI but AJ is also coming off an injury so I dont know how effective he will be. I actually think this game will come down to the benches. It will be Nick Young, Blatche, & Songaila vs CDR, Williams, and Boone. Thats who will decide it. We really love Young & Blatche so its time for them to take that next step and be super consistent guys off the bench. If they do that then I think we will win but if they dont then I think it could go either way.

Nets win in convincing fashion: Nets 147, Wizards 73:

Seriously though, This game will be alot closer then most people think and I expect a big game from Brook Lopez with 19 points, 10 boards and 3 blocks.

Solid Game Thread, G_MoNeY. If anyone else is looking for the job, please don't be intimidated and think you have to make something like this, no matter how awesome it looks.

Stickied

Excuse me. I believe your prediction is highly unlikely and that you are a 12-year-old who should stick to playing NBA: The Life video game.



Gotta love when the season starts on this board.

ahhhhhhhhhh, the smell of the fresh season, where we start off like the world-champs and a bottom feeders, gotta love the new season, hopefully its a good one and welcome aboard everyone, Nets board vets and the ballboys...

why, i think that boone should start, i mean really, what has Lopez proved?(no insult) benchin boone would be a step back, i mean the dude nearly averaged a dbl-dbl...

Hopefully we win this one.

I predict Carter having a monster game.

I'll be keeping my eye on Yi these first 5 games...if he sucks, start Lopez in his place..

Read the bottom of this article, it seems like he is leaning towards Boone starting tonight because of his "experience"

i would start brook.We need an experienced big off the bench that can grab boards and play defense, u know the little stuff ,Boones good at that.Brook can be a guy that we can run are offense thru at times.We all no we can't do that with Boone.

Exactly...it is like Coach Frank is making moves to save his job already.

The Nets better take this game or they are going to be staring 0-4 right in the face. Given its a long season you still dont want to start out like that.

I disagree.

Eventually, Lopez will take his spot. Why waste time with 15 different starting lineups!!! Lopez is our center of the future. FRANK, do us a favor let him play!!!!
