<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>In a lengthy profile in the current SLAM Magazine, Devin Harris talks about “trying to get Jersey back to the playoffs”, how the team plays best “when we’re getting up and down the floor offensively, playing a lot out of transition, scoring a lot of points”, adding “defensively is where we got to get better.” The profile also talks about his relationship with Lawrence Frank and how he differs from Avery Johnson.</div> Keep It Movin' - Russ Bengston - SLAM Eh, what do you expect? The kid's been in the playoffs every year....except this past season. I just hope he's realistic in the fact that we probably won't make it with this team.

I think people will be surprised at how good Devin Harris will be this season with a full summer and training camp to transition to the team and Lawrence Frank.

Too much to ask?</div> Too little to ask IMO. I really think the Nets might be able to surprise a lot of people this season. If everyone buys into the system and gel together it can be a better season than most people expect. I don't know if they'll be able to make the playoffs but you never know.
I like his attitude. I think we won't be as bad as everyone thinks we will be. We still got Vince, Harris, and I think CDR will be another good scorer for us. We've got some depth on this team, I think we could contend for a playoff spot. If Vince plays like he did at the ending of last season, we will be in much better shape than people think.
if the Nets barely missed the playoffs last year with a somewhat crappy team, they can certainly make the playoffs with a somewhat less crappy team, and a positive attitude. I think they will surprise alot of people.
DH is going to be a breakout this year, I have no doubt...but the rookies better be getting their asses in shape for a tough season.
I want to believe this team is going to the post-season, but I just don't see it on this team for 08-09. Come back to me on 09-10
