With eight consecutive wins and a ton of confidence, the Nets are getting recognition as a title contender, primarily because of their defense...and the play of Jason Kidd. Over the past 10 games, the Nets are giving up only 83.1 ppg, best in the NBA over that span. As for Kidd, basketball writers have renewed appreciation for his skills.
