The Nets get their first look at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City as they take on the sinking Hornets Sunday night. New Orleans/Oklahoma City has lost five straight and currently holds just a 1/2 game lead for the final playoff spot in the West. New Jersey meanwhile has picked up a full game on the Sixers during their four-day break. Former Nets Aaron Williams, Marc Jackson and Linton Johnson III will no doubt be seeking some revenge. And Chris Paul, outplayed by Jason Kidd in New Jersey, is likely to be looking for a little too. Lawrence Frank will get his first chance to make good on his promise to get more rest for his starters, which could mean a return to the rotation for Scott Padgett.
