Boone, House Ready To Return

Nets guard Eddie House (knee) and forward/center Josh Boone (shoulder) will be cleared for duty and available against Philly on Saturday.

"That should be it, Saturday," said Boone, "unless something happens between now and then."

Said House, who did more contact drills yesterday, "That's the plan. I've been running on it pounding on it, changing directions, spin moves. But I need to actually play against somebody."

Nets Coach: Team Lacks Hunger

The Bobcats got any shot they wanted in the first half and held on to hand the Nets their sixth-straight loss, a 96-92 defeat Tuesday night at Continental Arena that left Nets coach Lawrence Frank disgusted, puzzled and in an overall sour mood.

"We just put up no resistance on the defensive end in the first half," Frank said. "I don't know what to say right now.

"I would think we want to be hungry for a win. I guess right now we haven't bought into what it's going to take for us to win. We do it for a half."
