New Jersey injuries:
Nenad Krstic

[tamburello]

On the Nets squad, Nenad Krstic is injured but it's understandable that you forgot it to add. He hasn't been playing for almost 4 months.

Nets are trying hard to enter playoffs, so they'll try to win so badly. I don't expect a win tonight.

[Dead_Real]

Both teams are coming off dissapointing loses last night if our defense doesn't show up I see us getting another L.

[CaptainCrunch]

i don't think we can win this one but hopefully we will play a little better defense in the first half as we did yesterday that was really embarrassing. okafor's is really being missed down low. i expect a 10 point loss or so. But Walt will be the player of the game with about 24 ppints.

[ziggy]

Nice job again on the game thread Captain Crunch!

New Jersey doesn't impress me. Even though we played like crap last game and we still don't have Emeka back, I think that this is one of those games that we grind out for a win.

Any update on Butterbean's knee?

[dvdbumpus]

Yes, we aren't going to have nearly any starters.

Here's who's out:

Raymond: Bruised Thigh
Crash: Severe Cramping (non period)
Okafor: Calf
D-Anderson: Knee
May: Knee; liposuction.


Ok. SO that leaves us with:

PG: Brevin
SG: Matt
SF: Adam
PF: Walter
C: Jake

Pathetic starting lineup if I say so myself...

[Dead_Real]

No Felton and Crash tonight this is going to be a tough one.

[Slam]

Real tough - although Ammo and Fabio have started the game shooting well!!

Not sure if you guy's know or not, but I fucking HATE the Nets.

And especially Jefferson.

I respect Jason Kidd and Marcus Williams, but the rest of the team I could give 2 shits and a holler. And yes, I fucking hate the nets - almost as much as I hate the Pacers.

Is it because Jefferson's head looks like a penis?

Looks like one, talks like one, acts like one.

He IS pretty much a dick. He just makes my skin crawl.

Jefferson my most hated NBA'er

Raja Bell is my 2nd most hated.

[Slam]

Ando has looked bloody wonderful since coming back IMO.

That fat piece of poo Harrington is getting PT before Twiggy again which pisses me off to no end

[Dead_Real]

I really like Ando I hope he can stay healthy because he has potential.

[Slam]

Hey CaptainCrunch:

I hadn't noticed until just now, but soild work on the game thread.

Rep coming your way.

I have to go with Darius Miles, and Jerome James. Two overpaid pieces of waste.

[Slam]

With EO50, Crash and Felts out tonight, this should be the game that BB plays Ammo 40 mins and just says "screw it, lets see what the rook can do when he is "the man".

It will be interesting to see how he plays late in the game the same goes for Carroll I see this one being a close so one of those guys should take majority of the shots when we need a bucket.

[Slam]

Matt Carroll.

How can you not love the man????

[Bobcat4Ever]

Bobcats are playing very well so far. Herrmann is a baller.

[Slam]

wud up: Good to have you on board man!!

Fabio sure does work his ass off. If he could ever work out how to finish some of those moves when he takes it to the whole like Dr J the kid will be a machine

You can change you're name in the profile.

[Bobcat4Ever]

herrmann is ballin

[Dead_Real]

Nice buzzer beater from Fabio

Marcus Williams looking very Kidd like out there tonight.

[Dead_Real]

Boone is beasting us on the inside.

[Dead_Real]

Fabio and Carroll are really putting on a show tonight

[Slam]

Williams could have been ours - if we had bought that Suns pick!!

(I really wanted him or Rondo to back Felts)

[Slam]

Fabio is feeling the groove!!

[Dead_Real]

Holy shit that was crazy looks like it was in.

[Slam]

OH - MY - GOD

[Slam]

Fabio >>>>>>>> Ammo

[Slam]

You all know I hate to lose, but considering the team we had tonight and the missing players due to injury, I have a lot of respect for our guys.

[Dead_Real]

Fabio >>>>>>>> Ammo

I can't argue with that statement at all he's starting to show signs of greatness I love how he's always active on both sides of the ball.

Another tough lost tonight we stayed in the game the entire time up until that sick tip in by Carter which took us out of the game.

[ziggy]

This is one of the first televised games that I had to miss all season, but judging from the stats, Fabio and Matt played real strong and Adam did nothing.

Adam had 47 minutes and only 7 points on 3-11 shooting??? Thats a weak statline.

[Slam]

I hate to lose but considering we were without EO50, Crash, Felts and McMay - I can't fault what our guy's did tonight.

There was no "tanking" from the Nets POV. They want a playoff spot and we serioulsy pushed them.

I took pride in our effort tongiht

Go to dewsaw.com and watch the game there man.

[tamburello]

Carter's tip was just... No, no. We didn't lose because of that tip in. How on earth could we let that pathetic Josh Boone to score 10-10 lay-ups? His previous career high was 11, tonight he scored 21!!

I can understand Carter scoring 40, and since we'd been playing without Crash it was absolute that we couldn't contain him. Carter sends a message to Jordan. This is a loss that we've faced 43578034 times in our 1st and 2nd year. But still it's hard to resist.

However, we've put a good team effort except extra period. You cannot recognise how I'm proud of Walter's great performances. He deserves to be the Rookie of the March.

And also Alan Anderson is looking quite mature after his D-League stint. I'm still proud of not tanking the season.

[WarioVsMooChicken]

I was surprised with the outcome. I expected for us to lose by 30 points but we almost won. Also Walter Herrmann did great starting, he's really proving himself now that he's actually getting to play. Now if only we could get Ryan Hollins some playing time.

I know that Adam Morrison basically had to start with the lack of players, but from now on if 1 or 2 players are injured we need to start Herrmann or even maybe Alan Anderson.

[CaptainCrunch]

tough loss

[dvdbumpus]

For the lack of players, I'm glad we didn't give up, and we sure gave them a scare 8)
