WE beat the Atlantic DivisoinChamps. We did not sneak into the 2nd round. We did it without Krstic. Now we've added Magloire and will have RJ, Krstic for a full season. WE've improved. This group, aside from Magloire has a camp under their belt. If healthy this group is a 50 win team. Celtics key is the players around them and Allen's healthy...again that is the question through out the league, health. Look what happened to the Wiz. The key to the Celtics is the point guard.
The 2005-2006 Nets were a 49 win team and a second round playoff team. Last season's team if healthy was a 48-51 win team, but still a second round playoff team.</p> </p> The Nets are still who they are, a second round playoff team</p>

We are still a second round and out team. If you think we can beat the Raps again then think again. We might get the Cavs to a seventh game but lose ultimately. Celtics are more suited for the playoffs rather than the regular season, and the Pistons are still a top team in the East. I cant make a call on Miami but i'd say we are at the same level as them currently.
Why can't we beat the Raps again? We beat them without our current starting 4 and 5. I really can't stress that point enough. 40% of our starters are brand new.
1) They didnt have Garbo</p> 2) Bargnani was hurt was he not?</p> 3) No previous playoff experience before they faced us </p> 4) They have improved </p>

My bad. I thought Bargs was hurt. I could have sworn he was hurt.</p> </p> That was their first playoff series, even though we played great defense on Bosh anyone could tell he was rattled. We'll see by the season's end which is better. But imo, the Nets right now are a 45-50 win team and are not better than Toronto, Chicago, Detriot, and Boston if they gel well.</p>
