teams tank it to get a higher draft pick when they are at the bottom of the ladder
i say we tank this to get the nets to the playoffs (ahead of the hawks) and get us a higher draft pick
DO IT!

That's a good excuse if we lose the game, which is very likely consider our track record in b2b sets.

Harris can give Nash hell, Vince always kills us, and RJ's having a career season, so I won't be surprised at all if we get raped on the wings (on top of it Raja n Hill aren't physically at 100% at the mo).
This is a game were we gotta let our bigs pound it hard inside.
Their only good post defender is Diop, and he comes off the bench, so feed the mo-effin beasts!
GO SUNS!

^Boone's ok, though I think Shaq is too big and Amare too fast (seem to be saying that combination a lot now, wicked) so he might get in foul trouble early. They got Marcus Williams too who abused Nash last year for about 25 I think...

Suns forward Grant Hill will sit out tonight's game at New Jersey due to lingering problems with a pulled groin and a right wrist sprain.
Leandro Barbosa will take Hill's starting place.

Ok that changes some things...If NJ had any brains they'd post Barbosa up with Carter every time

I think Bell will be guarding Carter and Barbosa will be on Jefferson.
Get well Hill.

Weird seeing Harris in a Nets jersey for some reason.

why not stick diaw into starting lineup?
or are they trying to get barbosa more going after his recent slumps
