lLA Clippers 126 Nets 118 (Overtime)
Nets fall to 10-6

This is a game that the Nets would not have lost last year. But these are the "new" New Jersey Nets, the ones with the corpse Dikembe "Stone Hands I Can't Catch the Ball in Traffic" Mutombo and Rodney "Boy I Got Washed Up Fast" Rogers. Yes , hoops fans, I can be hard on the only team in pro sports that I truly love, But Remember: I"m a native New Yorker.

Anyway, a 10 point lead early in the fourth became a 5 point deficit after a 17-2 run by the Clipps. The Nets rallied, and led by 3 with 9 seconds to go, then left Andre Miller wide open for the game tying shot. In overtime, the Nets were just a bunch of turkeys. Kidd scored all 7 of their points. Seems like he's become their only scoring threat. Scored 37 points on 12-24 shooting (6-9 on 3's; the team shot 15-29 on 3 pointers), but only had 8 assists.

Special mention to Andre Miller. In addition to the game tying shot in regulation, he scored 37 points and had 16 assists. Seems to me the Clippers could surprise a few people before season's end. Maybe even make the playoffs.
