It won't be the same at the Air Canada Center Friday night. Vince Carter isn't around to get booed...or hit a buzzer beater or two. As Devin Harris says, "It made it fun for me. I always laughed at it." It won't be as intense either. The Nets have a shot, with Jose Calderon out and the Raptors in turmoil, much like the Nets' last victims, the Bulls. Chris Douglas-Roberts will play in a brace. Keyon Dooling is out.
