OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Nets Are Scorching (Make special note of this post about New Jersey's offense.)

PREVIOUSLY, THE NEW JERSEY NETS...lost 98-76 at home against Milwaukee last night. Amidst team-wide offensive struggles, Yi Jianlian was a beacon of competence. He's played quite well since returning from injury, scoring at least 22 points in four of the six games. In limited minutes, he trails only Brook Lopez in scoring rate and is the only Net other than Lopez to post a better-than-league-average TS%.

The Hawks beat the Nets 130-107 on December 13th in Atlanta.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
