Courtesy of NetsDaily: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Slowly but surely, the Nets are moving up in both the standings and power rankings. They are now fifth in the East after winning five in a row and seven of their last eight. In the rankings, John Schuhmann of NBA.com has them at #13, up three, while Marc Stein of ESPN is less convinced, putting them at #17, up two…and John Hollinger is at #22. Stein says the Nets’ surge makes a Kidd trade less and less likely.</div> Channeling Carnac - John Schuhmann - NBA.com Celtics overtake Pistons, regain top spot - Marc Stein - ESPN Paul-led Hornets climb to No. 4; Mavs finding groove - Marty Burns - Sports Illustrated Schub's giving us mad props. Seems right to me that we're 13th right now, we have the 2nd best streak in the league right now!
