The Bulls are in a position where they have to be determined for the win and give it their all. Better teams have lost to mcuh worse teams than the Bulls and still had impressive postseason runs. I can't be bothered researching it but I think it's safe to say pretty much every eventual NBA champion has dropped at least one game to a team they really shouldn't lose to. I personally wouldn't pick the Nets above teams like the Spurs or Pistons but I'd suggest it might be too early to count the Nets out altogether.

Yea, losing to the Bulls whose short handed. Deng is out, and Songia, and Duhan. 3 majors to the Bulls. That lost was inexcusable. Our deffense was terrible. How can we let a sophmore demolish us like that? They got five more games remaining. All should be blowouts. But I don't its gonna be a sweep. I just don't feel good about them right now. Nets needs to get their deffense in check.

It was a close game that could've gone either way...it's not like the Nets totally collapsed. Remember, any team in the playoffs is a contender..which means any one of the 8 can reach the finals...there are no crappy teams in the playoffs mate.

The 1996 Bulls fell to the expansion Raptors, who were below-average at best aside from Damon Stouadmire. These things happen. Gordon was scoring 21 points and coming up big in the fourth quarters last year too, and those stats were padded a bit by the free throw derby at the end.

Miami must be worried now...are they even the 2nd best team? The Nets defense is superior to the Heat.

There is no emoticons that can describe the anger in me.

Edited: Why the fuck the Nets fold after 3quaters? The 6er embarrass us. Iverson was still playing even in the 4th just to get his 40pts. As a Nets fan, I feel betray. Just because you are down 17 after 3, that mean don't mean you have to fold. Look at the Hawks come back a weeks earlier. I fuckin hated Frank for this. All season is the same crap. If we down big after 3, we give up. Fuckin coward. We are a veteran team, but we are not old for God sake. Fuckin'..........I can't go on........

Hey Nets fans... do you think VC is repairing his image in NJ?

After the fallout with the Raptors I lost a lot of respect for him but this season, I'm starting to like him a bit more.

by **Fewrookies-From2kW/Love** on Thu Apr 13, 2006 11:54 am

He was label soft, a quitter, and soft in TO. He ain't showing none of that with the NEts. But He was also label "too nice" of guy, meaning not being competitive and don't possess that killer exstinct. Well, in my opinion, he is still that. He is way too damn passive, and it kills me to watch him play.

by **Fresh8** on Thu Apr 13, 2006 11:58 am

Hmm, a more interesting approach: Jason Kidd has helped him ressurect his career after the mess with the Raps?

EDIT: I meant to say has at the start

by **Fewrookies-From2kW/Love** on Thu Apr 13, 2006 12:06 pm

Vince himself admitted that.

I bet this doesn't happen in the playoffs though, he'll play his team through the 4th.

Are freakin kidding me? 25pts in one half? VC 1/11? Man, please............

by **CuhRazy** on Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:00 am

Yeah, VC's playin like crap.

If J-Kidd didn't hit that shot with 0.03 seconds remaining, it would have been the lowest amount of points scored in a half, ever. 22. But, he spoiled the party and had to tie the record...that little bastard.

by **Fewrookies-From2kW/Love** on Sat Apr 15, 2006 11:32 am

Seriously yo, if these Nets don't play D, they've got nothing. They offense is like crap. I don't see why. You got the playmaker and two major scorers, and a decent center.

by **Fewrookies-From2kW/Love** on Sat Apr 15, 2006 12:15 pm

Well, we won, after all this bullshit. It wasn't pretty. Our offense was like 8th graders, and even though we shut down the Celts deffensively, it really doesn't mean that much, since the Celts ain't any good offensively anyways. And VC has been disappointing me like when my girl left me....for a migit. Why in the hell you will keep shooting 3s? Take it to the goal for God sake. Use those God given athletism that you have. :roll:
