As Devin Harris goes, so go the Nets...and go and go. When Harris has his speed game going, power ranking pundits say, the Nets are a playoff team, somewhere around #16. John Schuhmann of NBA.com says "the Nets need a big game from Devin Harris to win." ESPN's Marc Stein notes he's scored 30-plus points eight times, while Chris Mannix of SI takes a slightly different tack, praising Brook Lopez.
