Out of the frying pan and into the fire...or whatever cliche you want. After their most emotional, most complete victory of the season, the Nets return to the Meadowlands Monday night to face another of the NBA's elite teams. With the Pistons out of the way, the Nets must now deal with their polar opposites, the Suns. Instead of grind-it-out, it will be run-and-gun in the battle of the league's best point guards, Jason Kidd vs. Steve Nash. And oh yes, Amare Stoudemire is back.
