<div align="center"> (3-4) @ (3-2)



When: Monday, November 13, 2006
Where: New Jersey, Continental Airlines Arena

<font size=""2""><font color=""Blue"">Nets Starting Lineup:</font></font>


(Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Antonie Wright, Jason Collins, Nenad Krstic)

<font size=""2""><u>Nets Leaders:</u>
Points: Vince Carter (29.8)
Rebounds: Jason Kidd (9.0)
Assists: Jason Kidd (8.4)</font>


<font size=""2""><font color=""SeaGreen"">Sonics Starting Lineup:</font></font>


(Luke Ridnour, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Chris Wilcox, Johan Petro)

<font size=""2""><u>Sonics Leaders:</u>
Points: Ray Allen (26.0)
Rebounds: Chris Wilcox (9.1)
Assists: Luke Ridnour (6.4)</font></div>

Net's keys to victory: Contain Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. Bost are terrific 3 point shooters and both average around 23-25 points a game. With Richard Jefferson injured look for Rashard Lewis having an agressive game. With Lewis's size and length the Nets will have diffuclities guarding him.

Vince Carter has to attack the basket and get to the free throw line. Nenad Krstic has to play like he did against Washington. Jason Kidd should step up and score alittle bit more. And the bench must play at an extremely high level.

Prediction: Without RJ it will be hard to win, so Carter, Kidd, and Krstic will have to step up like they did against the Wizards. I see the Nets winning this one by 3 points. It will be a tight game.

This was just my second preview. I made this preview early cause I'm going to be busy.

 

hope wright starts instead of nacbar (nice preview)

 

Right on the button! Carter should try to attack the basket more and get to the line. Kidd has to score more along with Krstic. Nets has to maintain their D.

 

Nets are getting murdered on both ends. Fatigue is really kicking in.

 

The mix of bad shooting and giving up a <u>ton</u> of rebounds really hurt us. We have a chance to win the game, but we need to start playing differently in the second half. That means smarter shots and we need to collect rebounds.

 

We are getting killed.

 

The offensive rebounds from the Sonics are killing the Nets.

 

lack of offense is kiling the nets as well, carter and krstc are the only real offense

 

Kidd, Carter, and Krstic are playing good. The rest need to step up.

 

3-3

 

I could watch this game thanks to thedude990. Haha, I can't believe it.

Ridnour killed us. 32 points.

 

Well we played awful in the first half, but improved our play in the second. It just wasn't enough. I expected Allen and Lewis to score a lot, but Wilcox and Ridnour really killed us. Fatigue was a factor but then again, that's no excuse. Well there's always next game

Kidd 20 pts 12 asts 6 rebs
Carter 38 pts 4 rebs 5 asts
Krstic 21 pts 5 rebs
Williams 11 pts 4 rebs
Wright 10 pts 3 rebs
Moore 8 pts 5 rebs

your welcome, lol i would of sent it to you earlier, but i downloaded it on my sisters computer and i guess i missed it cause i jsut wanted nba tv but i downloaded it on my computer (nba tv had a knicks game so i could watcvh that anyways) and i saw yes im like umm carter shall like this lol, also thank ming i think he put the link up in the first place

 

Again a great game by Carter, I knew that this guy will stay hot. 38 points by him, including 50 % shooting from the field and 5-9 from the field, free throws were great also 7-8.

Damn, Ridnour was hot. Great shooting - 32 points, 7 assists also.

A loss, but a great game by my favourite Nets player.

 

Fatige could have been a factor for both teams. The Sonics were playing their 5th game in 7 nights, on the last game of a 5 game road trip (not to mention 2 time zones away). They just looked much sharper than the Nets and Ridnour is showing so much more confidence.
