Going into 2nd OT after Carter hit a shot to tie it in the 1st OT. Who will get up? I'm going NJN as this is a must win game for them.
Your thoughts on this game? and NJN chances for the rest of the series?

Huge game. Kidd 16, 15, 13 at the start of double overtime. Carter 2 boards away from a triple double. Wade 2 assists away from a triple double. Shaq 25 points, but only 5 boards? I think (and hope) the Nets will take the match.

Well it's all over.........NJN lose again. Puts them 0 - 3. Don't think they have much chance of making it through to the second round from here.
Nets:
Good game from Kidd with 16 points, 16 boards, 13 assists and 3 steals.
Carter helped out with 36 points, 9 boards, 10 assists, 3 steals but 7 turnovers.
Heat:
O'neal 25 points, only 6 boards
Wade 22 points, 10 boards, 8 assists and 4 steals but 9 turnovers
Haslem 14 points and 19 boards. He was the chairman today.
no team has ever come back from 0-3 they have no shot at the series

He's eating his words now ay

VC definately spoke too soon, that guy always runs his mouth, well this time it's come back to haunt him I think. Think Miami will be through in a clean sweep.
i think Vince talked too early also, and he's now eating his words. Miami will win in a sweep.

Miami will do some serious broomwork on the Nets, and then take a few days off waiting for the next round to start.

No team in history has erased a 3-0 split and won the series.

"No team in history has erased a 3-0 split and won the series."
But this is nets! *silence*
R Jeff has been back since start of playoffs and has done extremely well considering his first game back hes put on Wade. I mean Wade has proven himself to be one of the best this season, and jefferson is injured for 2 months or so then asked to play on him. Jeff made the statement he was going to play the series against Miami 'defensively', making his main goal to stop Wade, which i think hes done fairly well.
As for the other teammates, very in-consistant. We have 3 people doing everything for this team. And when your point gaurd is getting more rebounds then your power forward and centre you know theres a problem. Krstic has stepped up and hopefully Collins, Robinson and Scalabrine step up next game and atleast get some points. Nets should go out with the attitude they have nothing to lose being least favourite in the finals playing a most favourite team (well, between phoenix and miami)
Although carter is doing all this talking and opening his mouth too early, i think we should take it as a 'trying to lift team up' attitude. Because if it wasnt for VC nets would never have made the playoffs.
