Magic @ Nets


Magic (36-22) @ Nets (25-31)

Izod Center
7:30 PM
Sun Sports

Probable Starters:
Howard C Boone
Lewis PF Krstic
Turkoglu SF Jefferson
Evans SG Carter
Nelson PG Williams
With their big shakeup that sent the league's top point guard to Dallas, the Nets have been average at best. They are 2-2 without Kidd, but don't seem to be able to fair well with Marcus Williams at the helm. Devin Harris returning to their lineup should be a plus, but its anyone's guess if it will help the Nets get back to playoff contention in the future. Harris is turnover prone, as is many of thier team, so that means more inconsistent basketball for the future Brooklyn Nets.
Krstic is starting and I sure don't have a clue why. It must be to get him back up to speed for next season. But they are wasting the starter's minutes on him when they should be giving them to surprise Sean Williams.
Last time we played the Nets, we dominated 100-84 as the Nets seemed to be out of it. Many of them look disinterested and act like they can't wait for the season to be over. Now that Kidd is gone, I know Carter is itching to leave New Jersey.
As always, here is BQR's preview over at 3QC.
