MIAMI – Devin Harris’ only comment pre-game, delivered through Nets PR:

“Sore hamstring, day-to-day.”

He’s out. So that day is not today. Harris is a scratch for the game here with the Heat because of the hamstring he tweaked – or whatever he did – Friday against the Hawks. Keyon Dooling gets the start.

“We’ve got a lot to make up for, that’s for sure, if he can’t play,” team president Rod Thorn said.

They’ve wanted to add a third point guard all along but are up against a rock and a hard place of 15 contracts. Unless they do a 2-for-1 trade or cut somebody outright, there’s little chance of adding a third point. Ten day contracts can start this week – but even that is no remedy unless the Nets get out from one of their existing deals.
