For the next nine days, I'll go through each of the Nets' games this season with video recaps and a one sentence synopsis of each contest.

Game One: Vince Carter had 21 points and six assists and Brook Lopez had eight and eight in his first ever game as the Nets defeated the Wizards 105-95. Yi Jianlian had 17 points in his first game as a Net.

Game Three- Phoenix shot 12-18 from three point range, Raja Bell had 22 points as the Suns drilled the Nets 114-86 to drop New Jersey to 1-2. Carter led the Nets with 19, Yi had 15 and Devin Harris had 11 points and seven assists.

Game Four- Allen Iverson made his debut with the Pistons but Devin Harris' 38 gave the Nets a 103-96 win over Detroit to improve to 2-2.
