I was just gonna write and ask if Harris was injured? He looks very average out there.

The assist line for this team has changed a LOT since Diaw. A lot. IN a good way.

Felton with some nice D on Harris there last shot...I missed much of the game... is Harris injured?

Okay, well... I feel pretty good about what I've seen tonight. DJ was off, but 4/5ths of the starters looked great at different times. Nazr even made a cameo and looked like the version from last year.

HURRAY!

Locked 'em up with free throws in the last 2 min. Nice job.

Okafor/Diaw/Wallace is a pretty nice frontcourt. I don't know if it's Richardson-worthy, but it does seem to be paying dividends. They all complement each other very well. And I agree, Diaw's passing has really helped this team out. Another playmaker out there (especially a "big") really helps our team.

I hope they don't do that trade for Curry / Lee. They should just stick with the team, as is, for right now. Curry / Lee seems closer to Richardson / Dudley value-wise, but things seem to be going well enough lately, so we should see how this team turns out.

Yea, I definitely hope that the Curry/Lee for Diaw/Bell rumor is just sensationalist journalism.

This was a very impressive road win tonight. I love how this team is starting to gel. Great games from Okafor, Crash, Diaw and Ray. I am assuming it was Bell who did the shut down job on Harris and they held him in check until the game was decided.

Right now, I'd be hard pressed to see how any trades could be made as this team is developing some great chemistry and I like how it looks.

I'd wait til the trade deadline before you did that. Just in case...I'm long a Felton jersey and I am afraid that it will be stale soon.

I dont know guys. This team has won 4 of 5 and we have a great chance to make it 5 or 6 tomorrow at home vs this same Nets team. I am not sure they plan to make any changes. Why mess with the chemistry they seem to have found on this team?

I hope the front office doesn't start mucking things up by making another trade. Diaw's passing and overall skillset has energized Okafor.

I agree. It doesn't hurt to wait until mid-feb just to be safe. I'd hate to see Fats blow money on a jersey he won't wear next season. I hope Boris stays. He's been great. I hope management reads this site and listens to us.

Back to back wins against the Nets would be awesome. Let's do it!!

Devin had an off game but I'm really impressed with Okafor. Going into the season I felt like Brown was the perfect coach for him and it seems like LB is really paying dividends for Okafor since he's smart enough to make sure Emeka gets the ball in spots where he can finish...

Thanks for dropping by NetsForce. I like a lot of your posts on the GB.

Nice win. Still way too many turnovers but we shot so well it didn't matter. The thing Larry did with switching Diaw/Mek defensively at the last second on the pick and roll with Harris was brilliant. I've never seen anything like that before. Although it seems very obvious to me now...

This Net's team is normally very very good offensively and we held them to 40% shooting tonight, Harris especially was a mess. VC had his classic 19 points on 21 shots game.

We still have no depth. Why can't Brown/Hollins get more minutes?

Even if they planned on trading Diaw they won't now. He is the heart and soul of the team.

Maybe the Bobcats will make sportscenter after that Mek dunk.

Crash should go back to forcing drives. It was working.
