@ <font color=""DarkOrange"">Charlotte Bobcats</font> (5-17) @<font color=""Navy""> New Jersey Nets</font> (9-11) <font color=""Navy""><u>Nets Starting Lineup</u></font> PG-<font color=""Navy"">Jason Kidd</font> SG-<font color=""Navy"">Vince Carter</font> SF-<font color=""Navy"">Richard Jefferson</font> PF-<font color=""Navy"">Jason Collins</font> C- <font color=""Navy"">Nenad Krstic</font> <font color=""Red""><u>Bobcats Starting Lineup</u></font> PG-<font color=""DarkOrange"">Brevin Knight</font> SG-<font color=""DarkOrange"">Kareem Rush</font> SF-<font color=""DarkOrange"">Gerald Wallace</font> PF-<font color=""DarkOrange"">Emeka Okafor</font> C-<font color=""DarkOrange"">Primoz Prezec</font> <font color=""Navy""><u>Nets Keys to the Game</u></font> Defense- The Nets can play well on offense but it won't really matter if they don't play good defense. Many games the Nets had been playing good offensively but their bad defense had cost them the game. It's been said a million times "Defense wins games" Bench Producation- The bench has been playing inconsistently. One game they are playing well, while the next game they aren't producing at all. The starting lineup can't do it alone, and the bench has to understand what they have to do. Run more- It has been said a lot that the Nets need to run more on the fastbreak. Nets can and should do it in order to get easy points. They should not force anythin but, try their best on the fastbreak. <u><font color=""DarkOrange"">Bobcats Keys to the Game</font></u> Control the Game- The Bobcats can't give the Nets any confidence. Nets are playing at home which is already problem for the Bobcats but they have to make sure Nets don't get excited. They need to keep the game close in order to win Inside Points- The Nets are having the best defense on the inside. Bobcats have strong bodies of Okafor and Ely and they should be able to score points. Collins is playing but he won't be playing 100% so the Cats big men have to take advantage Make Carter make jumpers- The Nets will be too much, if they let Carter penetrate to the basket. Cats should try to keep the lane closed and make Carter take jumpshots. Carter will penetrate once in a while but the rest of the times they need to keep him out <u><font size=""5"">Predication</font></u> Im going with the Nets 10+. They most likely will win the game without a problem. The game might be close until late 3 quarter, and then Nets will take full charge and try to seal the game with a win.
wow this game looks over i see a trade coming up 2 real pathetic loses something has to happen someone needs to step up or something
I game isn't over yet but we all know how it's gonna end. Well I thought the Raptors game was embarrassing, this game was really bad. I don't know what to say. I really see a roster change soon for the Nets. Maybe the big three will be broken up or they might not.

The lack of interest seems to have a trickling effect...it seems to me by their body demeanor that guys are just fine with being sub-par. And dont really care about making an effort to change such. ..this team isnt even interesting to watch with the effort level we see being displayed.

This team had more energy last year with the old roster. In the beginning, they played pretty awful when they didn't trade for Carter, but still had more energy.
