Happy Thanksgiving and Welcome to the West Coast! The Nets know about those conflicting messages. Since 2004, they have a 5-11 record on the swings, but they're a surprising 6-6 this season. The Nets' first game will be against the league's best, the Lakers, 11-1 and looking invincible (inVincible?). The Nets will need big games from their backcourt and good games from the kids upfront to get over .500.
