New Jersey Nets

Last night’s game against the Nets was downright hideous. By the end of the third quarter at New Jersey’s IZOD Center, a bucket was necessary to have beside my chair while watching an embarrassment of a basketball game. Total turnovers in the game? 36. 24 from the Nets. Part of it ...

The Nets will win a game this season. Really. Maybe. But that victory could be a long time coming if they defend like they did Saturday or play offense like they did Monday. After a 123-point yield to Washington, a defensive display termed "pitiful" by coach Lawrence Frank, the Nets came apart o...

By Thomas Halzack I've usually been on the "Lawrence Frank is a very good coach" side of things. But I was worried about the attitude and the unmotivated game of team star Vince Carter in what was to be a rebuilding year after dumping Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson last season.

The Knicks won three of the four meetings last year - including the Kidd migraine game on Dec.5. The only game the Nets won was when Harris was playing point later in the season. You can bet that Harris wants to develop the same kind of dominance and aura that Kidd help over the Knicks. That’s the be...

By Joe Netsfan(noreply@blogger.com) So from those 15 the Nets have 5 guards (Carter, Harris, Dooling, Douglas Roberts and Ager), 7 forwards (Yi Jianlian, Bobby Simmons, Jarvis Hayes, Eduardo Najera, Stromile Swift, Ryan Anderson and Trenton Hassell) and 3 centers (Josh Boone, Brook Lopez and Sean Williams).

The Mavs also will deliver to the Nets $3 million and two first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010. Forward Malik Allen and swingman Antoine Wright, a former Texas A&M star who has been slow to develop as a pro, are headed to the Mavs.

NEW ORLEANS -- As the Mavericks and New Jersey Nets worked to salvage their blockbuster trade Friday, Devean George and his agent reaffirmed their stance, while Jerry Stackhouse's loose comments from Wednesday threatened to further unravel the already dangling deal for Jason Kidd.

By David Friedman Jason Kidd does not have a blog like Gilbert Arenas or a cool nickname like Chris Paul's "CP3." Kidd is not the flavor of the month among NBA point guards and his name too often gets lost in the shuffle behind guys who have never been to the Finals or who only play effectively at one end of the court or who are good at putting up stats without actually making their teams any better. Kidd led the New Jersey Nets to back to back Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003 at a time when the team had a good but certainly not overpowering group of players. The Nets are just a .500 team so far this season but Kidd can hardly be blamed for their mediocrity; he is averaging 11.6 ppg, 10.7 apg (second in the NBA) and a career-high 8.8 rpg, which is better than many of the league's bi...   [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan It is interesting to see the differences between the Athlon preview and this one. While both see the Celtics second to the Nets in the division and don't see the Celtics getting to the conference finals, Athlon sees the Heat finishing out of the playoffs and CBS see them going to the NBA Finals. Both see Phoenix winning it all this season. They ask if Pierce, Allen and Garnett make the Celtics the team to beat in the East. Here is part of their answer: But the other top teams in the East have something the Celtics don't: a solid bench. Players like Leon Powe, Tony Allen, and Brian Scalabrine aren't exactly scaring anybody. And that could be the difference when the playoffs arrive. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]   [read the full post]

Vince Carter opted out of the final year of a contract with the New Jersey Nets that would have paid the AllStar guard 16.3 million next season.

Jason Kidd scored 20 points and the Nets somehow delayed an early summer vacation with an ugly 8372 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night to pull within 32 in their Eastern Conference semifinal.

Crunch time. Money time. Call the final minutes of an NBA game whatever you want, but its the time when superstars lead their teams to victory.
