Dave D'Alessandro of the STAR-LEDGER writes, "It's hard to put the seven-game victory streak in perspective, or even put much credence in the likelihood that they are going to run away with the Atlantic Division title, and the Nets know there are valid reasons for this. What good is it being the sixth-best team in the league -- which is what they, by record -- when everyone has already concluded that it's a five-team race to the NBA title?"
