It seems like the Nets and their fans have been waiting for this day for several weeks now. It's time to get the postseason underway. The Pacers come in having won five of their last six games and with Jermaine O'Neal averaging 24.8 points and 11.2 rebounds in the last five. They will be without point guard Jamaal Tinsley and expect the Nets to take off every time they grab a rebound and want to get them into a half-court game. The Nets say whatever game you want, we can play it...and well. With the addition of Vince Carter and Nenad Krstic, the team has become more versatile, says Jason Kidd.
