Game 9 – Nets @ Magic – Friday, November 13, 7:00

November 12, 2009, 5:37 pm

A Friday the 13th game against a team named the Magic? The Nets laugh at such jinxes. What else can they do? Seeking their first win after eight losses–the last three heartbreakers–the Nets will face at least one of the two players they traded in June. Vince Carter, still hobbled a bit from an ankle sprain suffered Opening Night at the IZOD, will play. Ryan Anderson, also down with an ankle sprain, is questionable.

    Of course we face a team that lost 2 games in a row. LOSS

  2. netsnuts Says:

    Hopefully Ryan won’t play. 0-9 and watching him bury three’s would make me look with glee on being infested with the Swine Flu.
    I can’t take it anymore.

  3. Mr. Dollar Bills Says:

    Lopez will have 3 fouls within the first quarter and a half due to the NBA’s shoddy and corrupt officiating.

    Someone won some cash last night at the expensive of Orlando, the officiating in that Magic/Cavs game was god awful.

  4. Andy Says:

    rafer is going to block d.howard.

  5. Andrew Says:

    Byron Scott got fired. I think the Nets should consider getting him as head coach. But they won’t because the Nets fired him a few years ago.

    But this is a tough game for the Nets and I just hope the Nets fight hard as they have been doing lately.

  6. pegs Says:

    There’s a reason Byron Scott got fired.

  7. biggie Says:

    Yeah, that reason is Jason Kidd’s ego and Rod Thorn’s stupidity.
    Scott had a back to back final run on his resume.

  8. pegs Says:

    I didn’t realize Kidd was the GM of the Hornets.

  9. Gmister Says:

    They cut Bscott loose cause they were losing. Frankly, I’d argue its the lack of talent Chris Paul has 2 work with these days. Byron is a great tough coach. Its just real easy to see the coach as the problem from a front office point of view. I’d give him a chance if i were Thorn…..but his man love for Frank wont allow that to happen.

  10. kevin Says:

    @ biggie

    And how has Scott done since then? LOL

  11. mr. omG Says:

    Owned by Magics

    125-79

    ill put $100 on that

  12. mr. omG Says:

    also…

    Vince Carter will Score 30-8-6. 1 blk and 2 stls

    Lopez 18-8-2

    still Magics win by +25

    But if CDR sniffs Nets could win because no one will want to defend him.

    Feed CDR

    CDR: 35-3-3

    Now only then the Nets could get a win still 91-90

    ahahahahahahhahahhaha

    0-9 keep dreaming ;)

  13. Dirt Says:

    First win of the season.

  14. NateDD Says:

    Big news, Bass is out with the flu for tonight’s game. Magic have no true PF, so Nets should put either Boone or SWat at the 4 for rebounding against Barnes. Nets probably still lose, but may put up a good fight if Magic get into foul trouble.

  15. diehardNFFLbarnone Says:

    @ NateDD – Where did you read that? Its not on ESPN.com, CBS Sportsline, or CNN/SI.

    The Orlando board on RealGM are having a good laugh about it

  17. JT Says:

    ohhh weee I’m excited for the game tonight!

  18. rayray Says:

    @ Mr. omG:

    I hope CDR plays and gets your message that he should sniffle all over the place. People are so spooked about swine flu that we may even get a break rebounding the ball – ’cause no one will want to touch it right after CDR! Hey, maybe we can get some offensive rebounds!
