Do you think the NJ NETS are for real?

Yeah I guess they could be real but I don't think they're gonna go all the way.You probably did not know but the Nets used to be an ABA team. When the 8 team NBA was losing money the manager brought the 4 best teams up from the ABA. They were the Nets, Pacers, Clippers, and Super sonics.

The Flyers have lots to prove tonight, the Sabs have some key injuries, anyone who thinks it's a given is delusional.\n\nI finally dumped Joni from my fantasy team and it pained me to do so.     I don't know what the Flyers can do right now, it must be very frustrating being a fan.\n\nPersonally I think Hatcher is a fossil, Peter can't be a one man band all the time either.  Like I said, I don't know what the answers are but I don't think Nedved is going to be a game changer.  \n\nI love my Sabs, but it seems whenever I underestimate a team I get my lunch handed to me.  I drop -12 Joni, so watch tonight will be his night....I make a derogatory remark about Nedved--he'll have a hat trick.  \n\nGo Sabs.....and good luck to Philly....after tonight.:-)

critics say the nets have too good of a trio. who cares bout rj, j kidd, and vc. the pacers got their own trio. jermaine oneal, peja, and stephen jackson. tell me which player on the nets were ever close to winning a mvp race? tell me which nets player can single handedly take over a game like JO. the pacers play a half court set, that the nets do not like. just watch for the pacers to play great defense and slow the ball down, and pound it down low to jermaine oneal. oh ya, jamaal tinsley is back. go pacers!

At this point, they have potential to do great things in the NBA playoffs, I felt at the beginning of the season that they would have a great chance to upset the heat as a 6th or 7th seed, and now that looks very possible.  They are playing at their apex right now, and could carry that streak into the playoffs.  They are better than every team in the east besides miami and detroit, and can play with miami.  They also took care of detroit convincingly a few games ago, and historically they have played well against the pistons.  When the pistons were a pure defensive stalwart, they stifled the nets, but now with a more offensive tone to their team, the nets have a better chance at dominating the pistons.  In fact, I think the nets match up better with the pistons than the heat.  Who knows what happens if they do reach the NBA finals, if they meet the spurs, the spurs could very well fatigued by that point, or have a hurting tim duncan.  One other point about the nets everyone should realize is that they are a very good defensive team, which always is a plus in the playoffs.  They could end up anywhere from the 2nd round to winning it all in my opinion.

I totally agree with myke_n_ykes . Spurs are a shoe in--and Detroit I'm not so sure about (although it will probably end up being them in the East). New Jersey is looking like the black horse in the East, and Miami is unpredictable.\nThe Spurs on the other hand, are rolling into the playoffs with the deepest bench ever, the best record ever, and their top three players Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili playing their best ever! One thing is for sure no matter who they play--Spurs are looking to repeat!

I think they have been ripped off ever since they entered the finals! when they played at Miami they really got ripped off because in two games, which they could've won, they got cheated by the refs cause in game five Josh did not call a time out he was looking and trying make sure that that was what avery was singnaling him to do and then he got a stupid tech cause they were out of TO's, and in game 3 Dirk would not have had to be at that free throw line if the refs had made the right calls. all in all this should have been dallas' series if they had gotten game 3 and 5 it would have been over with but as you can see they were cheated out of there chance but there is allways next year and without a doubt i believe that the mavs can come back and get what they deserve! GO MAVS!

The Spurs are 10 times better than the Heat....so i guess so long as they don't piss the refs off or the commissioner...and they can get past Dallas ...hey anything can happen in a league that is as fake as wrestling..caramel..if they were a better team there would be no problem....fact is they have one great player and one old slow guy who cant shoot free throws....fortunate for you they have a league office that does not like Cuban and plenty of incompetent refs...sorry there is no way in hell the Heat are a better team....theyre not better than San Antonio either and I dont believe they could beat Phoenix either...sorry if the truth hurts...just telling you the truth.

They've been there twice already since J. Kidd took the helm.  They have a talented squad and they are all healthy.  They definitely have a chance to take the trophy this time.

probable i don't know for real but u can try to see if they do

Yeah, I think they're pretty good. They'll both give the Hornets some much needed size, and P.J. Brown will be a good mentor for them both. The Hornets still need an offensive weapon at shooting guard, and then that would give them a triple threat with D. West, CP3, and a 2-guard. That would have been great if they could have drafted Redick, but he went at the 11th pick. \n\nThe Hornets had the largest improvement in the NBA last year (+20 games), and I think they're going to continue to improve. Hopefully they can make the playoffs this year. BTW, are you a Hornets fan?? I go to almost all the games in OKC.

I do. They're the defending champs and have even done better than last year by just setting a franchise record 63 wins and they are showing no signs of slowing down. Duncan and Ginobili are all healthy now. Their playoff experience and deep bench will lead them to another championship this year.

The Detriot Tigers are indeed for real, thanks to the best manager in baseball, Jim Leyland.  He is a master motivator who can see what each and every player on the 25 man roster needs to succeed.  \n\nIt is my hope that the Tigers and White Sox will continue to pummel their competition and make the Red Sox and Yankees have to sweat it out for only one playoff spot.  That would be SWEET!!!

yes it will becaus...they obviously got national recognition and they will be recongnized by big high school recruits from around the nation now instead of just Piscataway,New Jersey. So they will get more recruits..even if they do not make it to the national championship

I am feeling bold so I am going with the NJ Nets they have Vince, Jefferson, Kidd. Their Center is only getting better. They have a win streak that they beat Detroit, Suns and Miami. Their defense in this streak is letting up 86.7 points. It would be nice to see an underdog win in the end.

Yes they are.  No you can't trust them.  You may be interested in Republic Broadcast Network, www.rbn.com.  They really go into detail about some of the conspiracies these people are involved in including 911 and the OK bombing, etc.
