I'll be going to the game, always a pleasure watching Vince play at the ACC. Will be looking forward to watching Devin Harris and hopefully, Jose Calderon going at it. I won't be surprised if Devin goes for 30 against us, but I don't see VC going for more than 20. He's always played bad in Toronto, probably cuz we boo him everytime he touches the ball.

Prediction: 103-94 Raptors.

Anyone know if this is televised?

as far as the question, Harris is better because he is younger and just flat out better, as for the game iexpect to see us getting abused down low and calderon making 6 3s and waving his finger in the gay manner he always does, i hope Vince shuts up air canda, and Nets win...

On nba.com/nets/schedule it says the game is going to be broadcast on YES, so I'm assuming it is going to be on TV...

http://web.yesnetwork.com/schedule/inde ... d=20081121

It's still listed on YES's website too, so yeah...

Nets win this one in I guess what you could call a shocker.
Devin goes absolutley off for somewhere in the high 30's.
VC with around 25 and 9 assists.
Calderon probably hits numerous 3's, but he will have an unusually igh amount of TO's.
Both there bigs get into early foul touble courtesy Mr. Harris, Bustani is a non factor.
Yi and Mr. Anderson with solid games, drawing O'neal and Bosh outside on D opening up the lane.
Brook does solid overall, maybe 12 and 10 with a few blocks, but he is limited because of foul trouble.

Key matchup - Two of the worst coaches in the league clash with substitution patterns and play calling for the ages that would make Mike Woodson blush.

Toronto gets to see what we allready know Devin Harris is unguardable.

7 foot Bargs on 6'6 Bobby Simmons. Bosh and JO vs Yi and Boone. Hellz yea...

Though I worry about Harris vs Calderon. Not the best matchup. :lol:

ya we are good up front and i seriously worry about Harris going off on Calderon because he isnt a good defender and the injury doesn't help.

I would rather have Mitchell then Frank right now. Atleast he knew that his big man should be the main option and he isnt an F'en Players coach.

Lol you have a very selective memory.Check up his stats againt you guys.Carter averages 24(47FG%) 6 and 5 against you guys.Including 39 at the ACC his first game back(a very crucial game for the Nets that year,they had to win that game or they were out of the playoffs race)Or the famous 42 point game that included a crushing buzzer beater?Or when he averaged about 27 points to knock you guys out of the playoffs?Yea he never plays well against you guys.

vi3t · Post #14 » by **vi3t** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 9:49 pm

he averaged 18.75 pts against us last yr, which is below his usual

I hope we win this, but I love Jose Calderon. Bosh is on my fantasy team so let him drop like 40 like he did the other night, still lose, and I'll be happy.

dubzero89 · Post #16 » by **dubzero89** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 11:59 pm

Lets go Raptors. I expect us to win by 8-13 points. Harris abuses Calderon, gets in the lane and BOOM meets Our Three Towers and falls on his ass

SpeedyG · Post #17 » by **SpeedyG** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 12:17 am

Put Yi on Bargs. Swat/Swift on JO/Bosh. Then let Devin run wild!

NetsForce · Post #18 » by **NetsForce** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 12:52 am

To be honest instead of putting Yi on Bargs Speedy I'd put Dooling in at the 2 shift VC to the 3, and run like hell.

But where's the fun in that? I want to see YI VS BARGS!

Pitting all of China against all of Canada won't end well, trust me Speedy, we'd be starting World War 3 with that matchup.

Who is the better point guard?
