Ills And Chills

As I sit here and try and recover from god knows what devil bug has befallen me, I can't help but ponder if the luck of the Nets is running out.

Injuries, anyway...

First, it was Josh Boone, the rook being counted on to add some inside presence, rebound, block a shot or two.

Then, Eddie House took a knee, and he's out until mid-November, probably.

Don't forget Marcus Williams' left wrist, and now, his left heel. He played last night though, so it can't be too bad.

And Cliffie's back is acting up...uh oh on that one.

So, can the Nets survive a crisis with the lineup they have? We already see that PG could be an issue should Kidd ever leave the lineup for an extended period.

Up front? Nenad goes down, and you want Mikki Moore as his permanent replacement? Small ball, he we come...

So, just a short week away from opening night, so far everything's held together with some scotch tape and twine, or at least everything but the interior defense, which hasn't held up at all yet.

We're close to having that rotation down - figure Robinson (if healthy), Marcus Williams, Antoine Wright, Bostjan Nachbar, and probably some Hassan Adams (L. Frank talks about him too much for him to be sitting).

RJ appears in mid-season form. VC is freelancing at the point, Kidd still hasn't made a shot, Collins is Collins and Nenad seems to be getting his groove back.

May all of that continue, and more.

By the way, who's gonna rebound? Just curious.
