After two games, Vince Carter and Lebron James are putting up similar numbers, but in crunchtime, the 22-year-old is dominating while the 30-year-old has yet to prove he can finish things off. Carter says he knows what he has to do to bring the Nets back from what is increasingly looking like the brink. But it's not all about VC. There's also rebounding...and Lebron.
