Although Shareef Abdur-Rahim may say it's just another game, everyone on the Kings and Nets knows it isn't. Abdur-Rahim has something to prove to the team that first wooed him, agreed to sign him and then dropped him when his knee couldn't meet their standards. Meanwhile, the Nets will have to wait til game time to see if Vince Carter will step onto the court at the Arco Arena. Sacramento is a disappointing 4-7.
