Yeah, but a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, or so they say.  
Anyway, it's true that NJ is tough at home.  Very tough.  Their record 
shows that.  What I'm saying is, apparently they're vulnerable on the 
road.  4-8 is pretty lousy.  Not a lot of ECC are going to have a 33% 
road winning percentage.  But then again, it's very early in the season 
still.  I'm only pointing out a vulnerability in response to some 
others anointing Joisey as Eastern champs already.

They perform well as a team, that's for sure.  And I'm not dismissing 
them, either, just pointing how that they're not the 800 lb. gorilla 
some may think.  They could still emerge from the East.  After Kidd 
leaves at the end of the season, though, they'll have a tough time 
replacing his worth to the team.  If he leaves, I should say.  But if I 
were him, I'd leave NJ for greener (and warmer) pastures myself.
