Nets outwork the Cavs as Carter outshines LeBron

The thing that made this such a good win for the Nets was that anybody who got playing time contributed to the winning cause. That included Jason Collins who overcame some early boo birds by putting in some buckets, as well as an intense, fist-pumping and one that drew the crowd to its feet.

The story of the night had to be Carter and LeBron, as Carter finally broke his slumber to bang in 38 points (beating LeBron's 37). The thing that made Carter's game so great is that he controlled things on all fronts; he scored the timliest of points, as well as got his teammates involved when needed.

Ok enough of the game recap, let's look at the wonderful world of the Meadowlands.

The most prominent thing going on in the stands was a fight that broke out in the upper deck. It was the poster child of the "stand up and have no friggen clue what the hell you are looking at moment". The entire stadium was practically standing, the situation even drew a look from VC himself...who took a nanosecond break to look up from his ball handling at the top of the key to see what the hell was going on.

The seats I had were great viewing range, but right behind the Cavs bench...which means I was sitting near a handful of people who are from New Jersey and have no affiliation with the Cavaliers but decided as soon as Bron came in the league that they were going to suck his nuts until the day he dies.

Plus, I was sitting behind these three dumb college girls who found it necessary to stand up throughout the entire warm ups. If you can't get a picture in your head...they were "that" kind. You know what I mean. The kind you just feel total second hand embarrassment for just because they are the way they are.

But it was a great win...and now the Nets need to focus on taking down Kobe and the Lake show in the same fashion, in front of 5,000 New Jersians who like to pretend they are from LA.
