Don't forget Sweets-came in stopped Philly in his tracks 6 boards 2 pts in 3 minutes. That's 96 boards per 48, 32 pts per 48. he may be one of the all time greats. Better start molding the H of F plaque.

Seriously, Sweetney shows signs of being a better than average PF.

halalooyah! i was begining to worry. 36pts? way to make up for the 5pt night steph. lets hope naz keeps up these type of numbers. 1 more thing, what was up w/ah?

Man Milwalkee is the 4th seed right now. If we can just get to the 5th seed so we can play them. We always play great against them. We're 6 1/2 games behind New Orleans for 5th place. I would love to beat Milwalkee then school the Nets in a later round!

What I want to know is why aren't we giving this kind of effort every night? This was not the best of games by far, but the team went out there and left it all on the floor, every one of the players. Why do we have to be backed into the corner? Aside from that there were plenty of positives.

Tim Thomas looked very aggresive driving to the basket, had 3 dunks, 1 awesome transition onehander and another nasty facial over a great shotblocker in Delambert. 12 boards are great too. Hopefully he'll stay in this mode for the rest of his carrier lol.

Mohammed had a great game, putting up Camby like numbers with 15 boards and 12 pts. He definetly got the reboudning part of the game down and seems to have a neck for finishing around the basket even when picked up by a shotblocker, but it would be nice if he finally leanred the defensive sets. Philly bigmen ran amock on us, both Kenny Thomas and Delambert.

Marbury is out of the slump obvsilsy and thats the most imporant part, cause I think everyone agrees that untill Houston is fully back we only go as far as Marbs takes us.

As for negatives, Houston's timing is really off. At least he is not limping, so the shot is only a matter of thime. Thomas had a crappy game, but I'm sure he'll bounce back. Props for Sweetny for another great game in limited time. Why Othella is still ahead of him is him is a mistery. FW looked like he fit in for a change. Its great to see Mooch in street clohtes, this way he can't ever get into the game lol.

Impressed by rebounding last nite. TT has got to get his avg up to around 7 per game. Nazr getting his last nite was sweet. That is what the trade was supposed be about!

Nets, being a Knick fan does not mean one can't admire a team and what they are doing. Very impressive run with new coach and really picked up the chemistry. They might not win the east, but I admire the effort by the players and the coach to put together a wins streak and over come the personel moves made early this year.

They have some young euro players in the wings to suppliment the next few years, new ownership, and Brooklyn!
