Seattle's Best
Which Nets team will show up tonight on the ESPN late game?
Will it be the Nets that lost 6 straight, missing any spark on offense, showing no clue on defense, and not doing anything well?
Or will it be the post-losing streak Nets, the team that put on a late rally to overcome the young Blazers?
If there's any justice in the world, the Nets will get a big game from Carter and cruise to a victory.
A few things to note:
The Sonics play (and start) the rookie Kevin Durant, perhaps the best looking offensive rookie since MJ. Looking forward to seeing him perform, especially since the Sonics don't have any other big names on the roster. RJ vs. Durant should be interesting - it would not surprise anyone if RJ goes right at him from the opening tip.
Which of the big men are going to get minutes for the Nets? In the last 3 games, we've seen the gamut, from Malik Allen and Jason Collins to Jamaal Magloire and Sean Williams. Against a young team like the Sonics, with a load like Chris Wilcox up front, they'll need to get Williams some playing time. Don't expect to see much of Nenad Krstic, though, until he works himself back into game shape.
The Nets were much better with the basketball Wednesday night. That needs to continue, or else this will wind up something of a lost trip. A winnable game tonight, but the Nets have to play all 48 minutes.
How are we feeling about L. Frank, Netsfans? Has he done his part with strategy and rotations? It appears he's not settled on any of his big men, he seems to have a hard time finding good spots for Magloire to get involved, and he's been hard-pressed to skinny down his rotation thus far.
Let's see if the Nets can get themselves closer to .500 tonight.
