Your psychic abilities are borderline creepy :wink:

As far as mechanics go, he was still shooting those fadeaways except tonight, they were going in until that ice cold stretch in the 4th. But just an amazing shot getting squared to get into OT. The last play...I don't get how VC was untouched getting to the basket, but I'll take it. I'm not ragging on VC tonight on the 4th...he got us into OT and won us the game (with that sweet pass from Simmons).

Similar to the thriller between the Suns and us except we got the right outcome.

Wowee wowee wow...

Yeah, I could put this up there with that. Just unbelievable shots made by both teams. As a basketball fan, I wish this had gone another period. As a Nets fan, let's just leave it at that.

I know, I was fearing but happily anticipating double OT when parker tied it.

BTW, I didn't realise he was Candice Parker's brother.
They must have had some interesting one on one games in the driveway.

I thought for sure we'd lose because of the lack of production from the SF and PF positions. VC did a good job on Bosh in the post.

We blew coverages on VC on out of bounds plays twice.

Excellent game by Coach Frank as well.

I will give credit to Frank in this game too. I'm the hardest on him, he made great adjustments and his out-of-bounds plays were great. His inconsistency bothers me still though..

Seriously a great fing game, I don't remember last time i enjoyed basketball game as much as tonight, another Vince classic in Toronto. Harris coming alive in 4th was a game changer, better late then never, it won Nets the game.

...fair enough, but having seen a few (not all) nets games this year, he seemed more intense. The obvious answer would be playing in Toronto, blah, blah, blah...but really, you don't see the upper echelon of players in this league needing extra motivation for a game...

...unbelievable shot to send it to OT...I'm obviously a raps fan, but i gotta tell ya, i laughed my ass off when he hit that shot...it was only too fitting for that $hit head, haha...

VC=Amazing
Bosh=Best PF in the league
Harris=Future all-star
Calderon=Future all-star
Bargnani=Bright future

This game was like a roller coaster...the VC game tier, the Bosh three pointer, the AP game tier, the VC dunk...that game winner was the GOAT of all game winners i've ever seen. I was in shock when he did it...I couldn't talk for about a whole minute then I was like "Did you see that?" to my friend and he was like "dayummmm...."

Congrats on the win guys Harris looked awesome in the 4th and VC was simply amazing.

I think he got fouled on 3 to tie the game too but the refs hid their whistles on that play.

vince only does this vs. the raps. the rest of the yr, he's pretty garbage...

It was a good game. Don't do this.

As much as I would like to hate on your team right now, I really can't. Props to your team for the comeback win guys. Carter and Harris were unreal.

Who is the better point guard?
