No Quarter
What an ugly, ugly end-game for the Nets last night.
I missed just about the first three quarters, but when I finally got home (my son's basketball team lost their game 29 - 16, after leading 16 - 13, so it was a similar story) and turned it on, it was 68 - 60. It was completely downhill from there.
The Celtics are in another league right now, as they started making their run without Garnett and Pierce on the floor. Big Baby was abusive inside, and there was just enough from the C's bench to totally outperform the Nets bench.
Which I understand may have been the case in the second quarter as well.
And then the league leading defense took over, making the Nets look like, well, my son's fourth grade team.
All those missed free throws (Josh Boone!!), all the missed opportunities, after what had been a very competitive game, and still the Nets were able to play well against the best for more than three quarters (or at least in 2 quarters, anyway).
No matter - it's a loss, one that tells the world the Nets can't compete with the better teams in the NBA right now. Or, simply put, confirms it.
The game review will probably have to wait until tonight (another hoops game today, let's hope my son's team can cure their 4Q woes), but hopefully I'll have a better perspective when I watch four full quarters.
