More than five minutes have elapsed in the third quarter and the Nets have yet to just scored. New Jersey is playing without Vince Carter, Eduardo Najera, Jarvis Hayes, Stromile  Swift and Josh Boone who are all designated NWT–Not With Team. (In my next life, I want that to replace personal days on my vacation calendar).

So, if you’re scoring at home, through a quarter and a half the Celtics starters have outscored the Nets’ starters 44-23.
