Stat guru John Hollinger weighs in on the Nets' woes, saying that the Nets defense is the main reason the team is 23-21 and not, say, 30-14. Specifically, Hollinger points to Nenad Krstic's physical weakness and Jason Collins' bad knee as the big reasons for the problem. Hollinger also has some advice for Lawrence Frank, who he calls the Nets' best coach since Larry Brown: play Marc Jackson and Zoran Planinic.
