<div align="left">The Nets lost to the Pistons, having a two game winning streak snapped. The Nets look to get started on another streak. In the last few games, Eddie House has been playing spectacular basketball. Mikki Moore has also stepped it up. The only thing that seems missing in the Nets' losses is Vince Carter.


<font color="blue">Keys to win for the Nets: <font color="Black">Carter will be matched up against, quite honestly, an old man. Grant Hill still has the heart and skill, but not the athleticism to keep up with Carter. This means that Carter needs to take him to school (more like the retirement home). Moore and Collins will have to do thier very best to stop the athletic monster makes up Dwight Howard.</font>

<div align="left"><font color="black"><font color="red"><font color="RoyalBlue">Keys to win for the Magic:</font> <font color="black">The Magic needs to use thier home court advantag e to play hard against the Nets. The Magic need to contain Carter with double teams. Finally, the Magic need to be strong the boards because the Nets have been very weak at rebounding in thier last two games.

Grant is injured, so he wont be playing.

 

Bogans will be starting. Dooling, Ariza, Hill are out for the next 2 weeks.

 

Swish, willing to make a sig bet?

I am.

 

Sure, loser wears the sig for a week.

The One & Only can have in too if you're cool with it Carter.

 

This is going to be an absolute critical 2 week span for JJ Redick's career. He is our only backup wing right now so he should see an increase in playing time. Expect him to get a good 20 minutes and Diener/Arroyo share in the rest of the backup wing minutes. I'm hoping he can produce. He has to realize he's in the game to shoot 3's, so DON'T HESITATE!

 

Something tells me that J.J. and Darko will both have big games tonight.

I have the same feeling about Darko tonight.

 

Alright losers. your on.

 

I feel bad for Dwight. He gets like no touches at all.

I'm not a big Magic fan, but that still pisses me off.

 

I don't like my chances of winning the sig bet anymore.

 

Carter is getting OWNED!

 

2 mins left and garrity is getting touches and james augustine has actually entered a nba game. Man i wish the magic were on national television every game

 

Man I love how our line up of

Diener
Redick
Garrity
Outlaw
Augustine

is owning the Nets right now.

Edit: We won by 33, blowout. Battie had another impressive game, he had a double-double.

 

did anyone see that garrity 180 layup??

Your tears taste good Carter.....real good.

106-76, Magic with 5 to go in the 4th.

National Televised Game + the Nets = Air Garrity.

 

Awesome game. Dwight was very impressive. 19 points and 9 rebounds. James Augustine is a beast!

Carter, I'll get you that sig shortly. You can wear mine for one week and The One & Only's for a week.

 

Swish......if you include J-Kidd in the pic, I'm going to kick your ass.
