Harris cracks the starting five

This comes as no surprise, but Devin Harris will start tonight against the Spurs. Harris had come off the bench in his only two games for the Nets since coming over from Dallas in the Jason Kidd trade on Feb.19. But we all knew that Harris would take over as the starter as soon as he got comfortable on his previously sprained left ankle and with the Nets’ offense. So tonight he starts and Marcus Williams goes back to the bench. What kind of impact will Harris have as a starter as opposed to being a reserve, where he averaged 21 points in the two games? “I’ll find that out tonight,” he said at this morning’s shootaround. Other news to come out of the morning workout: Bostjan Nachbar, who left Sunday’s game with a strained left hip flexor, will be out and could miss the next few games. That’s according to the player. According to the coach, Lawrence Frank, Nachbar’s status won’t be known until just before game time. We’re going with Nachbar’s diagnosis since it’s his body. ***  ... (link)
