New Jersey has hit a bit of a lull the past couple of weeks, but they are coming off a win against the Memphis Grizzlies, a team not all that dissimilar from the Thunder. The Grizzlies are built around a young trio as well, that of O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay, and Mike Conley Jr., though Conley has only recently made his presence felt.

ets need to utilize their experience (Vince Carter, Devin Harris, Keyon Dooling, Bobby Simmons, and Jarvis Hayes) and poise in order to thrive in tonight's match-up.

urn may be as far as six or seven weeks away.
Repercussions for the Nets:
(1) Bobby Simmons and Jarvis Hayes will see more shot attempts at the forward position, and a revived Eduardo Najera will see more minutes as well.

Keyon Dooling and Jarvis Hayes have been superb off the bench for head coach Lawrence Frank, but they'll need more help if we're talking championship.
What the Nets need, is a proven frontcourt star. Preferably a big man that can score comfortably, rebound, and defend the paint with confidence. But in today's NBA, that's asking a lot. Right now the best option may be Marcus Camby of the Los Angeles Clippers, though I'm not sure that he would elevate New Jersey into the league of Boston, Los Angeles, and Cleveland. He most likely wouldn't; the Nets would need a big man like Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett or Yao Ming -- all of whom are clearly unavailable.
