An Ugly Loss Behind Them, Nets Hoping For Best Against Detroit

The Nets had a lot on their mind Tuesday as they reviewed tape of Monday night's debacle against the Bulls. With nine players in uniform, they weren't only short-handed, They were short-sighted, losing players on switches, delivering no-look passes to imaginary friends.

But one thing in particular bothered Kris Humphries: the crowd, which was mostly Bulls fans. He said he was irked by the reception Brian Scalabrine got when he entered the game late in the fourth. "I know Scalabrine played here and they went to the finals, but the fans should be cheering for us, not an ex-Nets player that’s coming in."

In the latest injury report, Keith Bogans has a bruised tailbone, but he'll play Wednesday vs. Detroit. Anthony Morrow will also be back after attending his grandmother's funeral.
