My goodness. Danny Ainge take a bow.

Plus they are doing this wirhout Russell who is one of their top offensive options.

The Lakers are missing Ball, but their offense does not seem to suffer without him.

lin and Russell out allowed Dinwiddie to unleash the beast. He has outplayed lebron, beal, and now jimmy butler

Said just after trade that Danny would have to give uo eithrr the Brooklyn pick or the LA pick. I said a lot of people will be surprised if in the end, Danny kept the right pick.

Dinwiddie is one of the NBA's real surprises this year.

Consider me surprised. Thought this was the least talented team in the NBA.

Still believe that actually. Hats off to Atkinson and these players. They play HARD every single night.

Okafor finally stepped foot on the court again.  11 minutes 1 of 3 for 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 fouls, and 1 turnover with a -1.  Not the best game, but at least he got out there for decent minutes in a close game.

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

I don't know if its compensation for all the times I cheered against the Nets, but I really enjoy watching them play. They remind me of the Celtics right before they got Thomas.

I think Lavert has some fringe all-star potential, but he can definitely be a good player on a good team. Dinwiddie is showing he can handle an offense and hit big shots. I like their draft pick, Allen, too.

Atkinson has done a great job as a coach for them, especially because they continue to be decimated by injuries to key guys. Those guys play a good brand of basketball - they play hard, they play fast pace, and they play on defense.

This is a good comp. Brooklyn plays hard. Not much blue chip talent (especially with Russell out) but Marks/Atkinson have done a great job the past 2 years turning that mess around.

The Nets won their 15th game last night.

So this season, they won their 15th game on January 4th, the 38th game of the season.

Last season, they didn't win their 15th game until March 23rd, the 71st game of the season.

Danny is on quite a roll.
