    I loved it. Play defense. Love the rest of Kanter's game though.

    Why? If 5 guys playing 48 minutes every night gets you a championship, you do that.

    We need 4 good defensive players when he's in.

    It's like a block and a half from Brooklyn to Philly. Seriously though, it's what, 2 hours? Besides, it could be worse

    Sometimes the bench is an entirely appropriate place for tools. Not all tools need to be used all the time.

    Definitely a good win coming out of the break. One thing Nurk needs to improve and that's his decision making as he tried to force passes that weren't there and lead to too many turnovers. Keep it simple. Great contribution otherwwise.

    Ridiculous to see how good (offensively) our centers were, and how bad everyone else was.

    Nurk/Kanter: 45 pts, 21 reb, 18-24 from the field in 48 minutes. That's basically a prime-Wilt-level line.
    Everyone else: 68 pts on 28-81 (.345) shooting.

    I can come up with a couple versions but none of them are good.

    ''We didn't have great rhythm tonight, didn't play well. I think that's across the board. Didn't coach well, didn't play well,'' Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. ''It was just one of those games where I think Portland was simply the better team. There's just no way around it.'' Source: MSN Sports

    The Nets 25 year broadcast legend Ian Eagle said that Kanter was a "Net Killer"

    He knows he's not playing for the blazers next year. He wants his rebound numbers up.

    I heard Moe is still hurt. He probably looked good because he got to rest

    See this is what drives me crazy about Moe once in a while he plays a decent game and people go into, oh see it pays off to keep playing him. He’s gonna have to give you more than one or two good games a month for it to pay off... I hope he strings some together but he’s one inconsistent basketball player, I could live with that if it was just scoring, but when its everything, including how much he actually tries, thats a problem.

    Aminu and Hark did both play well.....but how often has that happened this season? To look it up didn't take long. Only 5 times all season have they both scored in double figures in the same game. I'm not exactly holding my breath counting on that to become a regularity.

    As for whose minutes I'd cut? Turner shouldn't be seeing the floor right now. Now that puts some pressure on Curry to be a facilitator more than he has been and Jake has to make a few plays as well.

    Every replay I saw talked about Nurk but no one mentions the pass. CJ deserves some love on that play.
