Carrie Underwood performed two nights ago on Letterman. She looked good. corona missed it. Sucker.

Yi Jianlian is out.

No reason for Nets to score 100+ pts on us.

yeah it should be easy win.

Devin Harris won't be able to torch Billups this time.

[MHZ]

I don't know about easy. Nothing is ever easy with this team. We're on the second night of a b2b, on the road. Brook Lopez could easily just dominate in the paint.

The Nuggets better not take the game for granted.

However Yi & Harris out still a back to back game. We should start the game solid and use bench as much as possible but be careful!!! We have knack of letting go easy games, hope we have learned our lesson.

Nene will be challenged! Keep this avalanche rolling! Soon it will be too big to stop. Go Nuggets Go!!!

3 more games till JR comes back!

Now cmon... don't be like that.

If we don't win by 20 points or more, then it will be disappointing.

[KidNine]

every game is a loss until we're up by at least 1 with no time on the clock in the final period.
games like this worry me.
team has to stay focused.

this.

its a should win game but nothing is for sure in this nba...dont take the nets for granted, especially after what happened last time in NJ.

[MHZ]

Outside of Nene, the starters played pretty limited minutes last night (< 30 minutes). Should help to have them a little more rested than they normally would tonight.

[NetsForce]

Prepare to face the wrath of Eduardo Najera (he's starting at power forward).

You think our guys don't remember that? You better bet your ass they do. If we don't kill this team by at least 20+, something is very wrong.

[Gruel]

Is Billups playing even with the mild foot sprain?

[MHZ]

Najera's going to go for 34 in the first quarter to send a message. Top both Dirk and Melo's scoring quarters.

i didnt even know lopez was first in blocks...congrats on the win guys

[MHZ]

So far, so bad. I'm loving Afflalo, by the way. Him and Kenyon have been the only two bright spots so far.
