Will the NJ Nets Make A Run for the Playoffs?

What does Vince Carter think?
What do you think star player Vince Carter thinks of his current team? Will they make the playoffs?

Is there any Jersey City resident out there a hoops head like me?

I’ve been a Nets fan eversince I came here to NJ. Incidentally, that was the same year (2002) Jason Kidd came and revived the franchise. I watch games as much as I can.

This season, there are only 9 games left for the New Jersey Nets including tonight against powerhouse Phoenix Suns team led by Steve Nash, Shaquille Oneal, and Amare Stoudemire. And the Nets are one spot off the playoff race.

Post-Jason Kidd era, this team continues to falter, as it lost an easy game last night against a supposedly hapless Indiana Pacers. The Nets’ remaining games are mostly against teams with winning record.

Nets star Vince Carter is not the same explosive flashy player because of lingering injuries, and the newly acquired pointguard Devin Harris from the Mavs (traded for Kidd) looks like he’s still adjusting to the system.

Do you believe the NJ Nets will still be able to catch up for a playoff spot this season?

  1. […] If this is an indication of how an athlete performs, I say the data is correct. Unless Carter - nicknamed “half-man, half-amazing” because of his spectacular plays during his younger years - raises his game to another level, expect his $$$ to continue to drop. (Oh, wait he just got another contract extension!) […]
