Detroit head coach John Kuester believes the Nets are much better than their record indicates.

"I've watched a number of their games and they've played extremely well; it's like most teams bring their 'A' games against them," Kuester said. "It's never as bad as it seems or as good as it seems. Every team has issues. They played hard against us the first three games (all Pistons victories) and we've had to play well (to beat them)."
