The Nets didn't play very well on Tuesday night, Game One. They hung around for the first half and kept close in the third quarter, but after an Andray Blatche missed layup and a Chris Bosh three, the game was essentially out of reach. True, that one sequence set the Nets back, but with the way their defense was playing all night, Brooklyn was lucky to be in the game at that point. The Nets did do...

Nets starting lineup will be Williams, Livingston, Johnson, Pierce and Garnett. On Livingston: "He's our starter." — Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) May 6, 2014 It makes sense for Livingston to return the lineup due to his size advantage on both Heat starting guard Mario Chalmers and...
