Al's take on everything.</p> an interesting part of the article:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Nets were upbeat today. Maybe it was the holiday spirit. After all, it was snowing and they were hosting a Christmas party after practice Thursday. Also, YES was there, getting the Nets to wish Happy Holidays to their fans.</p> Carter, as only he could do, screamed, ‘Happy Holidays’ and as he launched – and hit – a halfcourt shot. Then he went over to the camera to extend his holiday wishes and then Carter took – and hit – another halfcourt shot.</p> We know: where was that marksmanship against the Clippers.</p> Not everyone was in the holiday spirit, though. When Frank was asked if he wanted to sit in the chair that appeared to be set up for Santa Claus, the coach asked which chair: “The Electric chair?” It was a good line.</p> Overall, though, everyone was in good spirits, saying what’s happened thus far is not the end of the world.</p> “Everybody's calmed down a little bit and everybody realizes it's not that bad,” Bostjan Nachbar said. “Yeah, it's bad but at the same time, coach reminded us we've got 60 games to go and there's still time, so panicking and all that will not do you any good. So I think we had a good practice, really, one of our best practices in a while.”</div></p> Maybe Marcus cheered everyone up? Hm.</p> Pretty funny, though. Everyone being upbeat, it's so weird...and so...wrong.</p> Of course, my immaturity had to point this out:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>But when the league released tits first returns of the All-Star balloting, Jefferson isn’t in the top 10 among forwards in the East.</div> haha. Fun.</p>
