I did not do much over the week end. I played some basketball. On Saturday, I followed the Nets on njnets.com. They were trailing 87-80 with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter and came from behind to beat the sixers. Thats 3-1 in the preseason without Troy Murphy. They play the Rockets on Wednesday on TV.
