"For the first four seasons of his career, Jordan Farmar was with the Lakers doing something entirely different than he does now with the Nets. And it's not just winning, although there was that as he earned title rings in 2009 and 2010.

"I think he'd been in the triangle system for a long time and it's taken him a year to really get comfortable," proposed coach Avery Johnson who led his Nets against the Bulls and the NBA's best record here last night in the finale of a grueling back-to-back-to-back set.

No arguments from Farmar who admits it took a while to latch on to a totally different system than the triangle offense run so effectively for so long by Phil Jackson."
