Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
Carter eating **** against the Pistons, Nets down 29.
I'd start changing the thread title but it seems like it would have to be switched three times a week.

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
We got decimated. Still the difference between the Nets and Raps is the Raps are still a .500 basketball team until they develop more. The Nets have just been killed by injuries. Febuary is a very easy month. I think we can get like 5 games above 500 and get the division back.

It's not as if the Raptors have been 100% healthy all year. Bosh has been injured for 12 games, Ford for 7 and he's still not 100% healthy. Those are Toronto's two best players, while Kidd and Vince have remained healthy. The main difference is depth, Raptors are at least 2 deep in every position while the Nets are not.
Raptors may be a 500. team now, but their roof is leaps and bounds higher than that of the Nets too.
It's going to be interesting to see who takes the division, but I would like nothing more than seeing Vince lose out to us. He decided to bail because he wanted to 'win now'. Two years later and 0 playoff series wins under his belt, and he's back where he started.

Re: Nets Lead Atlantic [merged]
The Nets (seemingly) have a very easy February... the Raps need to keep working hard to maintain distance.

I certainly don't want to dampen your vitriol towards Vince, but the above statement isn't correct.
The Nets won a playoff series last season. They beat the Pacers 4-2 in the first round.

Woops, reading my post this morning I had a feeling I could have been wrong. Oh well, 1 series win.

raps schedule aint that hard either. 6 home, 6 road....all our home games are winnable...and we can probably snatch a couple of road games as well...the only truly tough games are against rockets and spurs and possibly pistons depending on how there playing.

Could very well be the case. I think Miami will easily get in as well once Shaq gets it together. I say Orlando is the odd team out.

Yeah but if they get their act together the streaky Nets could potentially go undefeated in February. Orlando twice, Atlanta twice, Philly, Boston, New Orleans, Sacramento, Toronto, New York, Washington, and finally San Antonio. They play five games in seven nights next week but all against stuggling teams.
