Anyway, nice to see the Nets winning and we have yet to see the team in full force when Marcus Williams and Nenad Krstic get back to form. Imagine Nenad replacing Malik in the rotation and abusing backup centers. Though I am not sure how Marcus could help significantly as it would be hard for him to match Darrell Armstrong. Coach Frank still has to do a balancing act and give Marcus opportunities to shine. Marcus could give both Kidd and DA more rest heading into the playoffs.
