Who is responsible for the Nets' recent domination?

Krstic? He's emerged as a quality big man, and he's been the third scorer and inside presence that has allowed Kidd to focus on defense and creating.

Carter? The lead scorer?

Kidd? RJ? Who?

Because I want to determine who we should put up with Billups etc. as an MVP candidate...and Nets fans have discussed this to death...I'd like other people's opinions...
Carter has done what he has all season during the steak. Around 20 points, a little over 40%.

Its KIDD and Kristic. Playing very well right now improving their numbers

How about all of them.
How about yes. It's Vinces one-on-one ability, it's Richard's overall efficiency, it's Kidd's upped energy defensively, it's Nenad making every open shot, and it's the Nets unbelievably quick rotations.

Lawrence Frank.

The only man on the planet who believed this team could win with dominating defense.

As I've said before, he used to say that the Nets could win that way and I thought he was nuts.

I actually think Frank has a big part to do with it.

He's changed up how he is rotating players in, changing defensive sets from play to play (traps, zone, man up) throwing off teams a bit.

The Nets D has been the biggest change.

Kidd's facilitating & upped defensive intensity, Nenad's improved play, improved bench play & Frank's coaching are all significant factors I'm sure but the whole team is playing well. As Frank always says, "It was a team effort." Let's shower the whole team w/ props.

well considering they beat teams who have playoffs clinched and they have only had 2 winning streaks all year and like 12 losing streaks makes it laughable hjow excited people are getting over their only second winning streak of the year!

so, the Pistons and Mavs aren't fighting for homecourt advantage throughout the whole playoffs? the Lakers aren't fighting for playoff positioning in the West? are you saying holding the Suns to a season low in points is a spoof? Memphis' 7 game winning streak snapped by the Sonics at the final buzzer was a joke? I'm serious, I really would like a response to these questions.
