When camp opened, Rod Thorn said that he expects the Nets to make the playoffs. A month later, he has changed his tune a bit. "On paper, probably not," Thorn says of his team's postseason chances. "But our goal is to improve as we go along and get better, and I think we will do that." Even the Sez is realistic. Thorn and Kiki Vandeweghe also commented on the play of Sean Williams and admitted Monday to having too many bigs on the roster.
