GAME 14: CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

It was an event that is only seen in very rare circumstances in the history of Jason Collins. With his monster 7 point performance against the Bobcats, it was the first time since the historic April 5th and April 7th games of the 2004-2005 season that Collins had managed to put up at least 7 points in back to back contests. The suddenly hot Collins is now being promoted by the Nets for all kind of league awards from the MVP to Coach of the Year. However, his recent propensity to shoot the ball, has caused massive issues within the team. Despite combining for 15 points in his last two games, the Nets have now dropped six straight contests. This confirms my theory that the more times Collins touches the ball the lower the chance of a win becomes.

The final line: 35 minutes 6 rebounds 1 assist 1 turnover 2 steals 1 block 3 fouls 7 points

In addition to the outburst in points recently, Collins played a season high in minutes against Charlotte. The simple fact that Collins is getting more playing time almost guarantees defeat. No wonder they pathetically lost at home to the lowly Bobcats. If the Nets have any desire to turn this streak around, they need to play Collins less and make sure to minimize his touches against Boston.
