First the good numbers: The Nets have won nine straight at home and are 13-3 at the Meadowlands since Feb. 21. Now the bad ones: the Nets are down 2-0, the Cavs have won 10 straight and teams that win the first two games of any playoff series are 14 times more likely to win the series than their opponents. Everyone, including the Cavs, expect the Nets to compensate for Cleveland's rebounding advantage by going for quickness.
