NETS NEVER TRAIL IN A WIN AGAINST THE TRAILBLAZERS
OCTOBER 28:
TRAILBLAZERS@NETS
Final score:71-83
Nets started their season with an impressive win.Kidd,VC,RJ and Nene ended the game in double digits,which was aparentlly to much for the Blazers.But Nets GM didn't quite like the line up for the Nets...

BOX SCORE:
TRAILBLAZERS NETS

Earlier that day:
Image

Nets GM said of this signings:
Well,when we looked at our team roster after the offseason,we realised that we miss 4 players to have a complete roster,so we found ourselves some FA's :idea:


NETS INVOLVED IN A BIG TRADE
NETS LAND NOWITZKI
Image

Nets GM Rod Thorn had this to say:"We looked at an opportunity to get a player of Dirk's caliber,so when we saw the chance to get him,we took it.We are sorry that we had to trade RJ and wish him the best of luck.

DIRK'S 40 POINT DEBUT LEADS THE NETS TO AN EASY WIN AGAINST THE HEAT
OCTOBER 29:
HEAT@NETS
Final score:88-108
Dirk Nowitzki,the new hot shot in town,showed why he was brought to the Nets,to make this team not a title contender,but a record holder.Dirk scored 40 points to lead the Nets to an easy win against the Heat.Carter scored 18 points.When asked about the trade,Carter said:"It is a great thing,this trade,having Dirk on the team will make things a lot easier."When asked how he felt not being the first option on offence,Carter said that he is here to win and if he needs to give the ball to Dirk,that's not a problem for him,he just wants the title.

Box score:
Heat Nets

NETS MAKE ANOTHER BIG TRADE
NETS GET MING YAO
Image

GM Rod Thorn:Ming Yao,a great center,will from now on play for the Nets,why we got him I think you all know,as you can see,we are building a basketball powerhouse and we like what we've done so far.

NETS SIGN 3 FA's

Those trades are pretty unrealistic don't ya think? 4 out of your 5 starters are all-stars, and why do you have Dirk at SF?

NENE LEADS THE NETS TO A WIN OVER CELTICS WITH 24 POINTS
NOVEMBER 1:
NETS@CELTICS
Final score:110-101(OT)
Ming Yao made his debut and did a great job,scoring 16 points,grabbing 13 rebs and soo on,but Nene stole the spotlight,scoring 24 points,shooting 79% from the field.Dirk and Vince also scored over 20 points in a game that could have gone either way.Both teams tried hard in the regular part of the game.Celtics almost won the game,they were up by two with 10 secs remaining.Nets called a timeout and decided to let Dirk shoot the three,so he did,the ball missed the hoop,bounced of the rim and everybody thought it was over,but Nene grabbed the ball and dunked it in with the buzzer.After the review from the reffs,game was tied.That dunk come as a big morale booster for the Nets who went on to outscore the Celtics in overtime 20-11.Nets realised that although they have a great team,they still need to work hard to get to the playoffs :idea:

Here is the player of the game in action:

BIG THIRD QUARTER GETS THE WIN FOR THE NETS
NOVEMBER 4:
LAKERS@NETS
FINAL SCORE:74-89
Nets and Lakers played a very balanced first half in which Kobe Bryant lead,better write kept the Lakers alive with 14 points.But the Nets come out strong in the third and outscored the Lakers by 10 points.Kobe could just sit on the bench and cry as the Nets kept on pulling away and away and away...To conclude:Nets cruized to victory which was the fourth of as many games for the Nets this season.Player of the game:Ming Yao(16 points,3 rebs,6 blocks(hmm,in his last game,dude grabbed 13 rebs and wasn't player of the game,and now he gets 3 rebs and scores less points and gets the award,go figure :?: ))

Here is an answer to the question:"Dude,why is Dirk playing sf?"

Image

Nets GM:"Kidd has always wished to play with KG,now he is going to do so,we decided for this trade couse,well,we are getting the big ticket and are going to focus on developing our young players with the trio of Carter,Kidd and Kevin Garnett as their mentors.We are very pleased with how our roster looks and believe that there isn't going to be any more trade."(Never say never,Jack :wink: )

Kidd:"Playing with KG was a very big wish of mine and I am a very happy man,I'm going to be playing alongside two great players,Vince and Kevin.

KG:"I'm happy to be here,now maybe I can finally get a title,it was very frustrating for me in Minnesota,it seamed as,what ever I do,it aint good enough,but here I know we can get that title,couse this is a great team,stacked with great young players and two super stars,well,three now ." :lol:

Carter:"I hope that the New Jersey air will have the same effect on KG as it had on me!"

Couch Frank was asked how is he going to arrange his team after the trade and after a second of thinking he come up with this:

SUNS@NETS
FINAL SCORE:82-71
Nets had 5 days of rest until this game.It did them no good,they lost to Phoenix.Second and fourth quarter were unlucky for the Nets,they were outplayed in both.Couch Frank was helpless,whatever he tried didn't work.I guess it was just one of those days.Carter was the only one playing for the Nets,he led the team with 27 points,but he couldn't go alone against the Suns.After the game,the team said that he is trully their leader,couse he never stops trying and that they should follow his lead.
Suns were led by Amare Stoudemire who scored 17 points and got to 7 rebs.He was named player of the game.

Box score:
Suns Nets
