we'll see. i think the nets have a pretty good team, but by the looks of preseason so far, the sixers are stepping up big time. i always hated steve kerr, he has the personality of a cardboard box.
Unless the Nets shoots themeselves in the foot, the Atlantic is pretty much a wrap. As for the Sixers, New Jersey has the definite edge over them. On the offense side, the sixers can match up with the Nets, but New Jersey's defense will be the key.
