Jefferson has promised that the Nets should be able get on a streak of four or more wins. The season is winding down, so if Jefferson's promise is to become real, the Nets ought to start winning now. Raising the stakes of this game is the fact that Orlando is currently in eigth place in the eastern conference playoff race. The Nets are in seventh place, but a mere half a game ahead of Orlando. The Nets will have play hard to prevent Dwight Howard from dominating the boards. Hopefully Collins will use his strengths at boxing out to minimize Howard's effect. Overall this is a must win and should win for the Nets. With Jefferson getting better with every game back from injury, it is difficult not to consider the Nets favorites. However, as this season has shown, the Nets have lost to teams that were big underdogs. We can only hope that the Nets play a good game on the road.
Yea....well ummm...hmmm. Kidd 8 pts 8 rebs 9 asts Carter 27 pts 7 rebs 5 asts Jefferson 19 pts 4 rebs 4 asts House 6 pts 3 rebs BoxScore
Well that's great. We lost our spots from the playoffs with this loss and our chances of winning the sig bet. Without Krstic we need our third scorer. Kidd or Moore needs to fill that role.
