Former Nets fan favorite Richard Jefferson was traded to Golden State from the Spurs on trade deadline day; one of my favorite Nets of all time |
Finally, the Nets head out on the road as they look to beat a team in the Warriors who are facing tons of injury and personnel issues like the Nets are. Stephen Curry is most likely done for the season, former franchise guard Monta Ellis is gone, and recently-acquired Andrew Bogut is definitely done for the year with a sever ankle injury. The Nets aren’t much better off as they only have 10 healthy players for tonight’s game; Shelden and Jordan Williams along with Jordan Farmar are out while D-League call-up Dennis Horner and Anthony Morrow will be suiting up. Even with all these injuries, the Nets still have the superior talent to Golden State and should win this one easily. However, because this is the Nets we’re talking about, that probably won’t happen.
On the contrary to the Warriors, the Nets won their best home game of the season on Wednesday by blowing out the playoff-bound Indiana Pacers by a score of 100-84. New Jersey did everything right: played wonderful defense, shot nearly 50 percent from the field, outrebounded the Pacers, and only committed 13 turnovers. Deron Williams led the way as usual with 30 points and nine dimes on 11-19 shooting.
