The Champs are in town Thursday. The Nets make their home--indeed their American--debut at the IZOD Center against the NBA's best, the Celtics. Lawrence Frank promises a completely different starting lineup than the ones that beat the Heat twice in Europe. Keyon Dooling will make his Nets' debut as well, but Eduardo Najera (reinjured wrist) and Jarvis Hayes (nagging hamstring) will not play.
