Looks like we may have caught a break. Jason's having some back issues and will likely miss tomorrow's game against us. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jason Kidd will miss the next two games for the New Jersey Nets with a strained lower back, and his status was uncertain for Sunday's NBA All-Star Game. The All-Star point guard will be out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio and Wednesday's game in Toronto before the All-Star weekend in Las Vegas. The Nets had no immediate information on whether Kidd would play for the East in the All-Star Game. Kidd had played in all 52 games this season for the Nets (25-27), a feat matched only by guard Vince Carter, and has averaged 36.6 minutes. Kidd had 10 points and nine rebounds Saturday as the Nets extended their winning streak to three by beating the Orlando Magic. He was replaced late in the third quarter by Marcus Williams, who took control of the game, finishing with 12 points and seven assists. Kidd saw some action in the fourth quarter. Kidd is averaging 14.3 points, eight rebounds and 8.7 assists this season.</div> Link - <font color=""Red"">Click here</font>

Vince is free to get all the points he needs (unless it's 81 like Kobe), as long as we limit everyone else. Looks like we caught a break again. Let's hope we take care of business.
The Nets don't really have some great deep team, and the Raptors have been beating good teams, so Vince doing well or not, the Raptors are easily the favourites against them.
