Sean Marks into the game!!

[exstatic]

. Finley is gripping again. Well, see if Brent has any in the tank.

Nice Dunk by Vince Carter................

Nice couple of turnovers, too...

[Spurologist]

Great call - when you defender is back peddling and the offensive player is barely makes contact, it's an offensive foul.

why are they settling for jumpshots? they need to challenge NJ's bigs

[dimsah]

How we're only down 3 is beyond me. They look like a JV team tonight.

a couple of defensive stops and it's a different story. Tony has attacked relentlessly and got no calls what-so-ever. Great job zebras. TD has been totally ineffective and manu has done virtually nothing. We need more easy points. Maybe some more steals or pts in transition. TD and manu need to show signs of life to get this lead back.

Is it too much to ask our Hall of fame power forward to maybe fight for position on the block? How many pick and rolls are they going to up before trying something different?

[ploto]

Considering it has pretty much been Tony's offense and Rasho's defense, we should be happy to be down by 3. Our bench is 4-17. All the Nets starters played over 20 minutes.

Tim maybe shouldn't have played tonight.

[Solid D]

The Sean Marks sugar high left the moment the Spurs starting switching on the screen/rolls - Marks on VC. Nice booster shot for the Nets.

it's all execution. most of the plays the spurs run are pick and rolls. They've ed up pick and rolls on offense and defense. Kristic is open almost all the time for a wide open J.

I missed the first quarter, but got in on the second quarter from the start.
I saw them go to Tim in the post once during that time. Way too many 3's taken. They look completely out of sync. I guess it's lucky we are only down 3 with the way they've played so far.

The Spurs have Rasho helping on the guy with the ball- Carter or Kidd- and then Rasho is having to rotate back to cover Krstic.

[Despot]

Pretty slow tonight.

TD still under flu or not?
