Lichtenstein: Hey, Nets — Let’s See More Of Lopez-Blatche Duo

Lichtenstein: It’s Time For P.J. Carlesimo To Pare The Cast

For the Nets, it’s back to the drawing board. It’s not the first time during this rollercoaster campaign that they’ve had to take a harder look at their inner workings in a search for consistent basketball.

Lichtenstein: This Weekend A Good Test To See What The Nets Have Learned

This is as good a weekend as any to see if the Nets learned anything from their initial missteps. I want to see the Nets step on the Magic’s throat and not let go until the game is safely out of reach. Study the Heat film for tips.

Lichtenstein: Nets Should Forget About 50 Wins, Focus On Making Playoffs

In the oft-tormented history of the Nets, there have been only a few seasons as anticipated as this one, their first in Brooklyn. Certainly I can’t think of any since the Jason Kidd-era in N.J.
