<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>The Nets are currently one game ahead of Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, and they usually finish the season strong, but a look at the upcoming schedule might have you thinking that making their seventh straight postseason will be difficult. Devin Harris is all but a definite go for tonight, but Lawrence Frank has another personnel issue: finding minutes for the team’s sudden influx of athletic bigs.</div> Devin and the Bigs - Al Iannazzone - In the 'Zzone It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Race - Fred Kerber - New York Post Nets Blog 25 To Go . . . Somewhere - Dave D'Alessandro - Nets Blast I'm thinking, sure. I mean, we ARE in the Eastern Conference. We should be at least a little better with Harris. Oh, and I've got advice for Frank: Wanna find minutes for the bigs? STOP PLAYING BOKI WHEN HE'S PLAYING LIKE SHIT.
in the east anything is possible, but if we dont at least we have the lottery to look forward to in reality its always nice making the playoffs because you at least give yourself a shot to win a championship, but this team is not better than detroit or boston maybe if we couldve gotten mike miller id beg to differ somewhat
I think so, even with the tough schedule coming up. It's been a pretty bad season, and yet we're still holding the 7th seed. In the East it's almost impossible not to make the playoffs.
It's kind of a burden having this much depth if we don't know what to do with it. It also doesn't help that Krstic gets minutes because of an obligation toward future improvement and not current play. I'm not saying not playing Stromile Swift is going to knock us out of the playoffs, but he is getting the short stick on this one.

Honestly Nenad has played poorly so far and unless he starts showing dramatic improvement he should be put back onto the bench...I would love to see more of Swat and Swift.
