Game Notes
Team Direction- Contender, a team that is looking to win it all this year. After trading for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, they are a sure fire contending team. If they are not able to accomplish this task, expect Jason Kidd to be placed in the hot seat.

Last Year- 49-33

Team Breakdown- Deron Williams has lead the charge with 19.8 ppg and 7.0 apg. Brook Lopez has done an excellent job manning the middle as he grabs 7.5 rpg as well as 14.2 ppg. Paul Pierce and Joe Johnson have been excellent together on the wings. The truth with 15 ppg 6.7 rpg and 1.3 spg. JJ is scoring 18 ppg with 4.5 apg and 1.3 spg. The bench has been built around Jason Terry as he puts in 9.2 ppg.

GM Insight- This team is built to win. Money is not an issue for Mikhail Prokorov as he pays the $101.29m salary. Almost $15m more than the next highest team, cross town rival New York Knicks. The team will most likely stay consistent with the team they have throughout the season, as a trade could effect team chemistry and with this being the first year with the two new Boston Celtic future Hall-of-Famers, Brooklyn would not want to screw up the team's dynamic. This may be their only chance at a title with this core, so expect high expectations on Jason Kidd. It is not likely that if the team is struggling by the trade deadline, that Kidd keeps his job.

Upcoming Free Agents- Tyshawn Taylor, Tornike Shengelia, Paul Pierce, Shaun Livingston, Alan Anderson, Andray Blatche (Player Option), Andrei Kirilenko (Player Option).

Elite Facts-

Andrei Kirilenko ranks 3rd in Points per weighted shot, tied at 1.4

Nets have the 4th best 3pt team percentage in the NBA at .410

The Nets are the second worst rebounding team in the NBA at 42.7 rpg

The Nets are the worst offensive rebounding team in the NBA at 8.3 orpg

Rumors- The main rumors in Brooklyn are centered around Jason Kidd and how long his tenure will last with the Nets. A lot of pressure has been placed on Kidd and he has to deliver.

The Nets are very interested in prospect Willie Cauley-Stein from Kentucky. Brooklyn currently struggles to generate blocks and rebounds, both are the strengths of Cauley-Stein.
