http://sportsblogs.org/entries.php?team_id=65&date=2008-07-06&start=0 Sports Blogs :: New Jersey Nets Daily Entries en-us The Nets-Cavaliers series for the Eastern Conference semifinal continues Saturday at home. The Nets are trailing 2-0 in the series, whose first two games were played in Cleveland. One point of weakness was the Nets' inability to contain Cleveland's rebounding. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262134&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 I gotta say it--Mikki Moore is awesome with the New Jersey Nets. The ball just finds him on the court! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262135&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 The Nets are headed for fifty wins and the playoffs. I can’t wait to see the Nets battle it out with the best teams in the league. We may not be first but we are certainly not last and our record will hold up if our starters do. The last time we made it to 50 wins we also made it to the finals. Go Nets! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262136&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 The New Jersey Nets won their eighth straight game on Sunday. We skunked the Pistons on the road in a low scoring defensive battle. Ben Wallace and the Pistons were looking for their 17th home win and were denied in style by Vince Carter and the Nets. The final score was 79-74 with Carter walking away with 22 points to Jason Kidd’s 14 rebounds. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262137&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 The New Jersey Nets did not have a spectacular January of 2006, but this month they have all but made up for it with an impressive winning streak and some very strong defense. Despite the fact we lost to them, the Nets held the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs to under ninety points. With two months left what are our chances of making the playoffs? http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262138&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 The New Jersey Nets win over the Milwaukee Bucks was a prime example of this team’s chemistry and skillful collaboration. The Nets had 32 assists for the game. Vince Carter and Jason Kidd led the charge and their aggressive intensity fed to the team. In their fervor the Nets forced 19 turnovers and the Bucks hardly challenged them http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262139&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 I am the only New Jersey Nets fans who didn’t know but I just found out about the Vince Carter statue scandal. Apparently his mother donated a life-size sculpture of him to his Daytona Beach high school. I hope someone has told her that pride is still a sin. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262140&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 Vince Carter didn’t have to do a thing after the first quarter of the New Jersey Nets game against the Boston Celtics. Of his 25 points, 18 were earned before the third quarter and every other Net player got juiced up by his intensity. It was like watching a really good band play. Each member feeds off the other using their different instruments with perfect timing to create one beautiful song that ebbs and flows. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262141&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 Our loss to the Memphis Grizzlies was our worst game all season and lowest scoring. We put up only 69 points and star players had low numbers like Vince Carters 14 and Marc Jackson’s 10. The game was hard to watch and we got spanked but the team had an off day. When you win ten in a row you are entitled to a few losses. Hopefully they will be turning it around against the mighty Mavs in Dallas tonight. The key is going to be using an aggressive approach on offense and getting as many reboun... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262142&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 Vince Carter is very much the best player on this team. He is the driving force that guides the New Jersey Nets and has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the week for games played in December. This is not a surprise because we have seen him play but now the rest of the country knows that he is hot right now. We can say for sure that he has made a difference because we have won eight games in a row and have turned this season around. We were up and down for quite some time and it is ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262143&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 The New Jersey Nets broke the Cleveland Cavaliers six game winning streak this week in their 96-91 victory. The only thing the Cavaliers had going for them was the expert play of LeBron James, but his 31 points were not enough to dominate the game without the help of the other players. We are on our way to play the Hawks, Magic, and Pacers in the next few days and our schedule be easy enough to extend our seven game winning streak. We beat the magic four games back and can certainly do it aga... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262144&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 This has been an up and down season to say the least. It seems like we are going through winning and losing streaks like paper plates at a barbeque. We have extended this winning streak to four with our victory over Orlando 96-85 on their home court. Vince Carter had 32 points and seven rebounds for our New Jersey Nets. Jason Kidd played over 35 minutes on the court and had only 9 points and six rebounds but racked up six assists and played great defense for his part. Jefferson was impressive... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262145&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 With the New Jersey Nets losing three games in a row, I am worried about the team’s reunion with Kenyon Martin and the Nuggets on Friday. In our game against the Nuggets in November, five of our players scored in the double digits and we won 101-92. Jason Kidd performed well under pressure and led this team to the victory with grace and fire. Hopefully the Nets can focus on the game and won’t let the recent slump control their minds and affect the game. We are facing the Hawks and Cavalie... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262146&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01 The Nets are having a mediocre season. Some say they will be ok once the new players get used to Lawrence Frank’s system. We have signed a few players in the last few weeks. Scott Padgett, Jeff McInnis, Marc Jackson, Lamond Murray, and Linton Johnson have been added to the team’s roster and owner Rod Thorn now thinks we have the depth to become a winning team this season. Vince Carter needed some help out there and I am glad that the Nets management decided to make some changes. Can these... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1262147&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:04:01
