Two former Pac-10 players are matched up at the point guard spot. Both of these players are the most popular on their teams. Though each of these stars lead their teams in assists, Kidd has a 6.3 advantage. Scorer vs creater, quirky vs silent leader. </font></p>

Gilbert's knee has undergone another procedure: a draining of his left knee. Obviously, the New Jersey Nets have caught a huge break if Gilbert is not 100%. If his knee is fine, like Eddie Jordan says, the New Jersey Nets might just have there hands full. Let hope for the other. </span></font></font></td>

Antoine has been sensational this season. As the press wants you to believe, it's a by- product of his option not being picked up. But in many fan's mind, his success has been because of the hard work he had put in at the Joe Abunassar's Impact Basketball training center. Whatever it is, pray he keeps it up. </font></font></font></td>

<font face="Verdana">The Wizards have been absolutely terrible this year, going 0-3. This has been compounded by Gilbert's inability to his a 3, going 1-17 from behind the arc. The Nets, though not living up to expectations, have not been horrible: their only loss was a 69-106 blow out loss to the Toronto Raptors. Which Nets team will show up today? I'm guessing the former. </font></p>

Wizards have got to start playing their type of basketball starting today. Our offense has been slow and in-effecient while our defense is as awful as usual. We need some more energetic play from the role-players and Gilbert/Antawn need to find their stroke. I could see us winning today, we just need our offense to get easy buckets in transition and not let up 200+ open three's. Cmon Wiz, get the win on my birthday.</p>

 

Why is Kidd always the best rebounder in this team.</p>

 

Because our big men mostly box out.</p>

 

I love how I am in Washington, a Nets fan, and I won't get the game, because I don't get CSN, and it's going to be blacked out on NBA LP Broadband.</p>

Use Sopcast. The delay is usually only a minute or two.</p>

</p>

 

Should be an easy win for the Nets.</p>

Two days ago, there was a good feed. He kept on flipping between the Nets and Knicks game, though.</p>

Unfortuneatley, sopcast is the best you can do right now.</p>

 

Go Nets!</p>

Tonights game really opens up for Magloire to break out IMO.</p>

 

we need an underground nets gamecast, i'd donate.

</p>

</div></p>

</p>

Don't count on that, despite the Wizards slow start there's always nights that our team can't miss a shot.</p>

</p>

 

Arenas won't be 100%, thats why it'll be an easy W.</p>

 

Arenas, yes. Everyone out shooting lights out? Nah.</p>

</p>

I don't think any of you guys have ever watched the Wizards play. Even without Arenas at 100%, both Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison are capable of lighting up the floor. That's not neccesarily going to happen but don't count on breezing to a win. This Nets team has under-achieved since Vince Carter got there, they're not nearly as good as they look on paper, by no means are they good enough to walk all over the Wizards even with potentially only 2/3 of the Wizards big three on the court. I'm not saying the Wizards will win this game but I seriousely doubt this Nets team will dominate us.</p>

Damn! Won't be able to watch this game live. I'll watch it after though. That means I won't be able to participate in this thread, unfortunately.</p>

</p>

Great game breakdown, mynetsforlife. It'd be nice if you included opposing FG% as well, to see how team defense is. Also love the team pictures.</p>

Will do.</p>

 

mynetsforlife is a cheater. With his damn dreamweaver.</p>

Still, great looking table. I love how "Gilbert Arenas' Knee" is an X-Factor.</p>

This will be a good game, with or without a 100% Arenas. Wouldn't be surprised if Daniels smacked us, too (knock on wood).</p>
