We have to beat New Jersey!!!!!!!!!

[jbooma]

At least so we can give Lebron a chance to make the playoffs, I would love to see him in the postseason.

Your right. Im starting to feel sad for him. But the thing is we can only do so much, can his team win the rest of thier games ?

After watching his game vs detroit he might pull a Jordan on us and put up like 60 next game.

That play where he ran down and dunked the ball then was able to run all the way back and make the block was amazing, we haven't seen how good he will be.

He can put up 60.......but the other team will score 100.. :/

Bron would bench his entire team and find fans who can score 41 :laugh:

I say we have to beat NJ so we can keep fighting for homecourt. Play with fire, win out, move up to take some REAL momentum into the playoffs. Jason Kidd and Vince Carter are going to be off the hook though. Maaaan, I hope we show up!

Antwan and Vince are brother in laws right?

I hope we don't do NJ a favor and lose on purpose ;)

i forgot about that. Was it Vince that married Antawn's sister?

Yup, i believe Vince is married to Antawn's sister.

Plus, they both were teammates at UNC. And on Draft night, GSW and the Raptors traded the rights to each player so that GSW could draft Jamison, while Toronto got Carter. Alot of history between those two.

Wow. We'll see if Antawn matches VC's intensity.

Actually, This couldnt come at a better time.

NJ was the team EJ took Gil to go watch to see the Printon in action. This could end up being a great refresher course.

Just preparing for them my remind out guards that they need to play team ball and pass more.

http://www.nba.com/games/20050417/PHINJN/boxscore.html

29 assist
53 boards 4 players with 10 or more - DAME
458% FG

Kidd has 16 assists, 10 boards, 4 steals, 5-13, 11 pts.

dame, thats not a bad line.

I would rather see Gil with this line and Hughes, AJ, Etan, Kwame and Haywood with bigger numbers, then Gil with 30 and 5 assists.

oh, let hope AJ isnt cover Carter. He will eat him alive.

They will have to put JJ, Hughes, and Profit on him.

We should want NJ in the playoffs as long as it doesn't hurt our positioning. They will provide a much tougher series for Miami, who will be our 2nd round foe if we get past the Bulls.

Really, this is as close a must win as any game can be that's not a must win.

All of the talking heads are just assuming that this is a win for New Jersey, as if we're the team fighting just to get into the playoffs and they're the team that's already clinched a spot.

Oh, I agree that we have to put a guard on Vince. I just mean that Antawn will have to provide QUITE a scoring threat tonight because VC is gonna bring his pistols.

Also- nice point about seeing our big men get more points and Gil getting more assists. This is more likely vs. NJ. I believe our frontcourt is at least as talented as theirs these days.

Wouldn't that be the other way around? Desperation would provide motivation, right?
