OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Nets Are Scorching, Whoop-De-Damn-Do
FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY: Atlanta -6.5, 185.5 o/u
PREVIOUSLY...the New Jersey Nets have lost six of seven since beating the Atlanta Hawks 107-101 in overtime at home on November 23rd.
The Nets have to be seriously concerned about both the continued regression of Brook Lopez's scoring efficiency back to the low levels of his college days and his plummeting rebound rates. Sure, Lopez plays alongside some quality defensive rebounders: Kris Humphries, Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy, and Terrence Williams but that hardly excuses the seven-footer from posting a defensive rebound rate 17% lower than Marvin Williams, who plays the bulk of his minutes alongside two pretty good defensive rebounders.
Lopez's struggles have seriously undermined Devin Harris's renaissance, an unlikely career year from Humphries, and a very promising rookie season from Favors.
Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.

favorite waits' album?
Props to you for acknowledging Waits' birthday! To answer the above post, I'll go with Rain Dogs, though Real Gone and Swordfishtrombones are great too (as if they all aren't).
Weird stat from the game last night: Etan Thomas, +12 in 3 mins of floor time. How many times has that happened?
Drew --
Asking me my favorite Waits album is similar to asking for my favorite Altman film, favorite Philip Roth novel, or favorite episode of The Larry Sanders Show.
Equivocating, I'll tab Rain Dogs as his best, Mule Variations as my favorite (it was on that tour I first saw him live), and Small Change as the one I've probably listened to most in my life.
