At least we're back at home. But beating NJ is always a struggle for us.

I hate playing the Nets. Harris and Carter have been struggling lately but I bet they combine for like 60 points against us like they always do.

If this team has any pride they would come out as mad as hell to play tonight. I can't stand VC and the Nets, so to get swept by that team would be a disaster for us. We've been playing poorly lately, so I hope we find a way to get back on track. JJ show VC why you're and All-star and he isn't.

Does the Nets have the Hawks roster on their W2's? :(

3 of Ryan Anderson's 4 15 point games have come against the Hawks.

Joe is having a nice game. I thought Carter would definitely try to take it to him after missing the allstar game.

i was thinking the same thing. Marvin has done a nice job on him defensively. I also like the way marvin has hit the boards after moving to the 4.

Well what a surprise, we remembered how to play defense in the second half and we blew them out. It all starts on D for us, hopefully these guys bring that same kind of intensity in Milwaukee.

Flip has been ridiculous lately.

Lol... yup, got to give Flip some credit. He's been great lately, taking great advantage of mismatches. I'm glad to see JJ back to his normal days... now, If I had given Zaza and/or Smith a B or something, I'd be embarassed after seeing them both get schooled by Lopez and Anderson, two rookies.

Marvin Williams with a nice job on the boards and he ended the game with a double-double. Minny just waiting for him this off-season.
