13-4 in bouncing back tonight from b2b losses.
4th seed at present.
Only 2 games behind the Knicks, and that's with the 14-14 start behind the Lil Dictator.
What are some players saying is the difference?
MarShon Brooks
"I think P.J.'s been doing a good job of giving everybody confidence. That's 50% of coaching, in my opinion. Players go through tough stretches throughout the season, it's just very encouraging. Even the guys who were lacking confidence, for whatever reason, even our star players that were lacking confidence, it's a new start for them, a different voice. I think it's huge."
CJ Watson echoed Brooks's sentiments, calling it freedom:
"Everyone's out there playing free. No one's really worried about making mistakes. Just playing through the mistakes, playing hard, and having fun."
Brooks also noted that the Nets-Knicks rivalry has always been one, but now "we're playing for territory."

Reggie Evans and Kardshians rebounds per minute are thru the roof, Evans leading the NBA at 19, offsetting any weaknesses that ST Multitroll tried to lay on Brook Lopez boarding ability. Lopez doing a solid 18/7, Joe Johnson looking great when isn't pulling his Kobme crap.
How much noise do you see the Nets making in 2013 playoffs?
