Plain and simple We have to stop digging out from 15-20 point deficits. This
really drains you.  The Nets are not as good as we are making them look, but
they are getting better balanced scoring then we are.


Strickland provided great energy off the bench. Where are Delk? Battie?
Jersey's own Eric Williams? McCarty of the Philly series? These guys have to
step it up. Rodney Rogers is a defnsive liability against the Nets, too
short and too slow.

Will someone please keep the guards off the boards!

If we don't come to play this is over in 6.

The game was lost in the 4th quarter as much as it was in the first half.
When we cut it to 1, then they made it 3. What does Obie do, he puts in
Kenny
Anderson. We made the monster comeback with him out. He puts Anderson back
in
and the flow is lost and so is the game. We were doing fantastic off the
doubles. They doubled Pierce each time he touched it and then boom, he finds
the open man and they all hit the shots, Walker, Strickland, Rogers and then
Obie puts the worst offensive player on the team in. He has no outside shot
at all and he gets to take back to back possesion jumpers and the momentum
was gone. Especially on the road. BALLGAME. Now we have to come back in game
6 and make it happen early.

FRUSTRATED
