Fixed it for you

Kidd is now playing better than he has in several years now that the details of his marital problem are out in the open. This is not the season to doubt Kidd and the success or failure of the Nets lies completely on him.

Kidd is playing great ball, rallying his team around him like a true leader should. Winning this division would be great, but if we don't I think we still have a great chance of overtaking a team like the Pacers or Magic.

Unfortunately Kidd and Carter do not have the mystical powers to change NBA schedules. Well, Vince might, after all he saved us from the US in 1812.

New Jersey still has 24 road games, 18 Home games (including 15 games against western conference AND 10 on the road )

Toronto has 24 Home Games, 17 Road games. (Only 10 games against the west, and ONLY 3 games on the road against the west).

This is Toronto's division to lose .. which they might... but given our schedule we shoudl finish at or slightly above .500... and chances are NJ is not going to reach that.

You have been banking far too much on the schedule to support your point of view. It doesn't matter nearly as much as you believe it does.

Actually it does (1.5 games worth anyway)... but there is so much logic and proof behind your statement it is hard to argue.

It's funny that people where dissing the Nets saying they weren't a good team, and everyone was saying trade Carter trade Kidd, but now that they have put a string of wins, you see both of those players of the trading block. Anyways hopefully the Raptors can get back on top.

cpawfan

The fact you believe the 1.5 game difference is just a product of the schedule is poor logic, just like predicting the end of the season results. There isn't a straight line correlation between the schedule and the results, otherwise there would be no point in playing any of the games.

I realize in your profession numbers generally mean something, but the data you are presenting isn't nearly as significant as you want to believe it is. Additionally, there isn't a significant representation of what the Nets are currently doing on the court in the nonpredictive percentages of road record and western conference record. Kidd is playing at a different level and it is a level at which he greatly improves the play off all of those around him.

But please, stick to your assumptions
