Caron Butler has really become the leader of this team. With Gilbert out, he's become a reliable go-to player on this team, and really showed how deserving he is of a second straight all-star berth. Jefferson comes into this game as the leading scorer of the Nets, and has become a top scorer in the league. With these two going against eachother, it should make for an interesting night.

Josh Boone has been stepping up lately, and it's been showing, with him being the X factor for wins, and even playing well in losses. He's been big for them, and if he continues to finish around the basket, play good defense, and rebound like he's been doing lately, he should factor in big for the Nets.</font> </font></font></td>

The Washington Wizards are a very underrated team. Even without Gilbert Arenas they've been playing good basketball and beat the Nets down in DC. Roger Mason Jr. is another suprise in a team that's full of suprises. And with Caron Butler once again stepping up as an All-Star, and Jamison putting up 21 and 10, this is not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination.

Even with Daniels out as well..?

 

This is going to be a very tough game. I have a feeling Mason is going to have a big game. He's scored 20+ his last two times out, I believe.

 

Your table sucks, but I'm not fixing it.

 

easy win

 

ZAE and I are in sec. 234 now, hoping for some good news to tell the strippers after the game. Yaa dig?

In adddition if the Nets win, we're taking Twin to the club. We would have taken SWat but we're afraid of what he might do to them. Go Nets!

 

I'm watching tonight!

 

I love watching Kidd!

 

Who else heard Ian Eagle use "Area 51"?

Kidd is on fire. Looks like he is making it up for the Detroit game.

 

Why is sean williams out of the game already?

Because Malik Allen > Sean Williams.

Because Nets are winning, its about that time to give up the lead.

 

Why is Marcus wearing his headband so high? I've seen Sean Williams do it several times too. Is it a new fad or something?

 

Marcus Williams is a bum. He has the point guard mentality of Marbury, terrible.

 

AND YET ANOTHER HOME LOSS (6-12 NOW)

HOW DO YOU LET THE WIZARDS DROP 59 POINTS WITHOUT ARENAS AND ITS 2ND QUARTER.

 

eh...dont really know what to say...we can't score.

on the contrary, we can't defend...

 

BLOW UP THE TEAM

NOW...
