Before The Dawn
OK, here's where you show that you're a hard-core Netsfan - watching the games live from the West Coast. Games that end at oh 1AM or so...
Sorry, I can't do that anymore. Oh, I might be crazy enough to stay up that late, but certainly not to file a game review after. So, we'll be running on the video tape method for the next 10 days. I'll try to make the game reviews good, since I don't have to sit through commercials and I can hopefully spend more time watching tape.
Wednesday night's game, as well as Friday night's game, won't even get posted until Sunday night at the earliest as Joe leaves for a mini-vacation on Wednesday. So bear with us for the weekend, and we'll catch it all up early next week.
What to expect? Well, Jason Collins appears to be at risk for playing any games on this trip, so it will fall to Nenad Krstic, Cliff Robinson and Marc Jackson to hold down the middle. Not a scary thought against the Warriors, but Brad Miller with Sacto, Marcus Camby with Denver and maybe even someone like Chris Mihm for the Lakers or Kurt Thomas with Phoenix could give the Nets trouble inside.
And there's that Steve Nash fellow to dealwith - seems like I remember him having a party against the Nets last season. Of course, without Amare, that seems less likely, but the West Coast is always full of strange happenings.
The Nets will need some solid contributions from that bench, since the stretch is likely to tire them out (especially in the Mile High air of Denver).
Old friend Kenyon Martin is having troubles with the knee, so a reunion out there may or may not even take place on the court.
Of course there is the other reunion, that of Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who appears to be fitting in just fine (and injury-free) for the Kings.
So much excitement, so many late nights...

What the hell is happening with Jason Kidd? He seems to have found spirituality and lost his spirit for the game. He is a shadow of himself. It is still early in the season but if he doesn’t pick himself up soon, it is a long season and a dead one too. There is no one, no one I repeat in this team or in this league that can change the nets towards getting more wins other than Jason Kidd. I realize that people get old and their abilities slow down. But this is something i cannot explain. He has gone cold and I don’t see those steely eyes, that resolve to take on situations and the guts to finish.
I only hope that this slump is temporary. I only hope he picks up his game. I have a strong feeling that it is more mental than physical. He is in a daze of some kind and he better wake up and not slide onto a coma. If he does slide into one, any permutation and combination of the nets without Kidd is only equal to zero.
Wake up and be your self.
People, leave Vince Carter alone.
