In fact, Alonzo Mourning and Pat Riley say the Nets have improved and could be a threat to them repeating as champs. Mourning once again asserted that he wanted out of New Jersey because the organization didn't have the commitment to winning.</div> Source
The Nets could have won both games against them. Riley knows it. The Nets could have been 5-0. Miami lost to the Bulls by 42. Houston coasted to a 22 point win. Philadelphia edged them 107-98. It seems that Miami has some sort of spell over the Nets. New Jersey can't seem to get over the hump against the Heat. Hopefully Coach Frank can find the antidote soon.
