Nets Lose To Clippers

The New Jersey Nets today slipped to 2-7 on the year after losing an away game to the LA Clippers 140-128. Richard Jefferson led the way for the Nets with 36pts & 3rebs, whilst veteran reserve point guard Jacque Vaughn had 10pts, 7ast and 3stl after playing increased minutes when Jason Kidd got into early foul trouble.

The Nets got within 6pts in the last quarter when Jacque Vaughn stole 3 consecutive inbound passes and scored off each one, but it was to no avail with the nets going down by 12pts

Nets Send Marc Jackson To Miami for Alonzo Mourning

Today the nets sent veteran center Marc Jackson over to Miami in exchange for former #2 draft pick Alonzo Mourning.

When we asked Nets GM Mat Smith why the trade, he told us he was hoping Zo could start at PF next to Krstic and help with shot blocking.

We spoke to Alonzo about the trade

US: How do you feel about going back to New Jersey?
Zo: Pretty good, i made friends when i was playing there.
US: How do you think you will go playing at forward rather than center?
Zo: Should be fun, i havent played forward for many years. I hope i can help the team out. I gotta go guys
US: Thanks for talking to us Alonzo
Zo: No Worries

Nets Down The Cavs

The Nets won their 3rd game of the season tonight, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 138-124, giving them a record of 3-8 on the season. Alonzo Mourning was fantastic in his first game (this season) with the Nets, scoring 17pts, grabbing 5rebs and dishing out 7ast! His passing to the wing guys out of the double team was superb. Richard Jefferson top scored with 32pts and 5rebs while Vince Carter added 29pts and 6rebs. It was the usual suspects that performed well for the Cavs, with Larry Hughes scoring 35pts, 5ast & 3stl and LeBron James had 32pts, 4rebs, 2ast, 3stl and 3blk.

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE

The New Jersey nets today sent one of their best players to Minnesota in a very risky trade. The Nets sent Richard Jefferson, Lamond Murray and Linton Johnson III to Minnesota in exchange for Ricky Davis, Eddie Griffin & Trenton Hassell.

This is a very confusing trade considering Nets GM Mat Smith told us just 2 days ago that he had aquired Alonzo Mourning to play PF, now he has Eddie Griffin for that spot. This will create competition for minutes between Mourning and starting C Nenad Krstic.

The projected starting lineup for the nets now is

C Krstic PF Griffin SF Davis SG Carter PG Kidd
with the bench
Mourning, Padgett, Robinson, Vaughn, Hassell, McInnis & Wright

with the emergencies being
Planinic and Collins

[KIG1]

oh baby blockbuster deal

[mattyj]

The Nets now have a front line of substance (sorta) with Mourning and Griffin adding some muscle

No offence to Krstic but there is nothing of the kid, he's a skeleton.

Nets Win Thriller At Home

The New Jersey Nets have put back-to-back victories together for the first time this season with a 123-121 thriller over the Memphis Grizzlies at home. Nenad Krstic made his only field goal of the game with 0.3sec to go to seal the win for the Nets. The nets now move to 4-8 on the season. Ricky Davis top scored for New Jersey in his first game with the team with 28pts. Vince Carter had 27pts and 3ast, and Eddie Griffin, also in his first game as a Net, scored 21pts and pulled down 8 boards. Damon Stoudamire was awesome for the Grizzlies with 36pts, 11ast and 6rebs, while Eddie Jones scored 25pts and 4rebs, and Pau Gasol was a monster up forward with 18pts and 19rebs.
