  • Nets 94, Raptors 87: When the Raptors and the Nets met last week in the Meadowlands, the Raptors thrashed the Nets, but last night the Nets got their revenge. They were able to win despite shooting 38% from the field, mostly by dominating the boards. New Jersey out rebounded Toronto 54-38, including 11 more offensive rebounds. Those rebounds, plus solid games from Vince Carter, Devin Harris, and Ryan Anderson propelled the Nets to their win. Carter notched a double-double in the win. 16 of Harris' 20 points came in the 4th quarter.

  • Boy were we wrong about fan reaction at the NBA Draft. Not only did the fans boo the Knicks selection of Danilo Gallinari, but they even started a “Fire Donnie” chant. Why the hate for Gallinari? Well, the fans wanted OJ Mayo and drafting a European player probably brings back memories of Frederic Weis. Perhaps the booing was just Knicks fans getting out their leftover animosity from this past season. Gallinari isn’t a bad pick however. He doesn’t play defense (so he fits right in) but he is extremely good with the ball and can score which makes him a perfect fit for Mike D’Antoni’s system. However, with the addition of Gallinari, the Knicks have a glut at the 3 and the 4 spots, so expect some sort of trade to happen soon, preferably the end of the Zach Randolph era.
