I dont think its about ready or not, the Magic just is a way worse team than the Nets from every aspect. The starters, the bench, and even the coach.
I agree but that doesn't mean they won't come in with a 'revenge' mentality. This is the NBA after all and upsets happen all the time. We should have beaten a undermanned Timberwolves team but we did not. Our team is still working out its kinks so don't be surprised to see a more competitive game.
Also I think Joe and Deron will eventually get on the same page. Even D-Wade and LeBron needed a few games to get used to each other, so will they.

I see your point, but the Magic team is way worse than the Nets team so I aint really worried. It takes Deron, Johnson and Brook Lopez all having a below 30% FG shooting for us to lose. The Wolves are 4-1 right now, Rick Adelman is doing a magnificent job in terms of coaching. Different story, although blowing 22pts lead is kinda unacceptable.
I am sure they will get used to each other. Remember Wade and Lebron actually do not fit each other pretty well on the same team, both of them need the ball in their hands. Good news for us is that Joe Johnson can play without the ball, just like his old days in Phoenix Suns. He just has to adjust a bit since its been a while since he played with a ball-dominant PG.
Think Wallace may come back on Tuesday against Cleveland. We don't need him as much as we normally would tomorrow so I wouldn't further risk any injury even if he is available.
Brooks is also day to day. Forgot he did not play yesterday, arguably our best scorer off the bench did not play last night and our bench still had 55 points, that's just 12 points less than the whole Magic team. Still amazes me.
I like the early start, because I dont like waiting for games to start late at night.
Lets take care of Home Court tomorrow

I think LeBron and Wade work because they both are great passers. Joe and Deron are both good passers also so thats why I believe they will get it going eventually. As opposed to Melo and Amare who are both great scorers.

Stack was a huge lift off our bench! It was great to see him play well in his first Brooklyn game.
Looks like you were right MTing, the Magic did put up a much better effort and held on to us until the very last minute. Perhaps it was because the Nets were playing like trash today, the Magic still only scored 74pts anyway.

Haha told ya! I feel like if we played like the way we played today against any other team, we would have lost. We're fortunate that the Magic have a struggling offense. Wins are wins though I'll take it.

Yeah, I figured. The Magic wasnt that bad until they played us, so maybe this team deserves more credits than they have received so far?
Anyway what do you think about Avery Johnson's coaching? Id say hes just about average, if not a little bit below. Good to know the Nets are talented enough to crush weak teams even without a coach.
