You have two guys who, when you put them on the low post, both demand a double team and they pass the ball, which means you can get good open shots with no one contesting. And when they don't do that, both of them draw a lot of fouls. We should be able to get to the foul line a lot.

I'm happy to hear that, obviously. Since he's come back from surgery, he seems to be happy. No. 1, his leg is better and there seems to be no trepidation. And I think he was very happy when we traded for Vince Carter, as he said, a big time player.

Carter was placed on the injured list by the Raptors after injuring his heel Dec. 9 in a loss at Detroit. He was eligible to return for New Jersey's contest Tuesday at Charlotte, but Thorn said the Nets don't want to take any chances. New Jersey also plays at home Wednesday against Cleveland, and then has four days off before resuming the season Dec. 27 at Detroit. He sat out his five games but there is still a little inflammation, ... We only have the two games this week, and then we're off for awhile so it makes sense to give him some rest now. We want to make sure it's not chronic.

I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.
