The nets are not a team you want to bet on right now. They got guys on the bench that are out playing the starters. I still think they got some tinkering to do with that line up and until they do or until players like simmons and yi step up they are going to be an inconsistant squad. I dont think these nets are capable of knocking these cavs off their streak. Only two teams have beaten them this season, the c's and hornets none of which come close to the likes of the nets. Im not going to take the nets hoping they keep it close when Im sure they wont win. Cavs are playing too good right now for me not to take a shot on them. Mo Williams seems to be getting comfortable now averaging 20 pts last 3 games. Offense is scoring over 106 last 5 and shooting nearly 48% on the season. If cavs play the kind of defense they are capable of then this one shouldnt be too difficult. Considering its the nets, the defensive game plan wont be too complicated. Slow down harris and you slow down the nets.

One cure for bad defense is bad offense. Thats what we'll have here. Bobcats are the lowest scoring team in the nba and are still missing their leading scorer. With the kind of start dallas mavericks have had look for them to take advantage of this. Its important to know that although the bobcats are the better defensive team holding teams to 6 points lower than the mavs, its dallas who owns a better opponent fg % and who are the better rebounding team. With them coming off a huge victory at MSG ending a 5 game losing streak, howard having his best game of the season, and holding an 8-0 record vs charlotte, I think the mavs will come into this game feeling as confident as they've been all season.
