3. LOS ANGELES, June 5 - Pound for pound, the New Jersey Nets are no competition for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. I

n many ways, it's like matching Lennox Lewis, the heavyweight boxer, against Jerry Lewis, the comic actor. However, for the sake of basketball, it's a relief that the Nets themselves aren't buying any of the negative press. I still don't know if the Nets have enough to upset the Lakers and win this series. But after Wednesday, I do believe they can make it a series. I get the overwhelming sense the Nets feel the same away. After a dreadful first quarter Wednesday night inside Staples Center, the Nets calmed themselves and came after L.A. They were not in awe. They did not bow down. Instead, they sharpened their focus, capitalized on the Lakers' erratic play and made it a game. "Now that our guys got the first-quarter jitters out of the way," Nets coach Byron Scott said, "maybe this will be a better series than a lot of people thought it would be." What is the controlling idea of this article?

Answer:

The New Jersey Nets can give the Los Angeles Lakers some competition.

Explanation:

Hello. You did not present the answer options, nor the text to which this question refers. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

To find the phrase that shows how much life and Elizabeth and James were unpleasant while they lived in the east, you will need to find the phrase that shows something negative that Elizaneth and James had to face while they were in the east. Furthermore, this phrase may show that nothing could free James and Elizabeth from this negative element, except a move to another region. This negative element can be presented by a narrator, or by James, or by Elizabeth. The important thing is that the phrase is able to show how much they were harmed by living in this region.

VashaNatasha [74]

There are two people holding on to the edge of a cliff. One is your mother, one is your grandfather. The cliff is weak under the three of you so you only have time to save one person. Who would you save? I would try to figure out who is more at risk, and I would consider the condition of both my mother and my grandfather. In the end I would either try to save both and risk the death of all three of us, or save my mother who is young and healthy.

Copy and paste, hope this helps! <3
