Done. Over. Finito. The End. Good Bye.

The Nets are out of the playoffs!

Frankly, I couldn't be happier for this season to end as quickly as possible. It's been painful to the point of not wanting to watch and report on anything going on. Think we all need a vacation.

I have not yet seen the game, but saw the final score - Raptors 113, Nets 85. I think when I turned it on in the third quarter it was something like Raptors 60, Nets 56, so it appears another complete second half collapse was the order of the day. That shows a team in total retreat, unable to stop it's spiral downward.

They say you have to hit bottom to start coming back up again. I think the Nets have 3 more games to do just that.

It will be an interesting off-season, one hopes a complete changeover is in order.

Blow it up, what could it hurt. Some different faces and playing styles (play fast and loose - oh, that's right - the coach can't allow that. Play young than - oh wait, that's a no-no too) might bring some joy back to a franchise that seems to have had it sucked out of it by Jason Kidd (and to be fair, he put the fun into it back in 2001).

I'll get the game review up tomorrow morning after I watch what I can stomach of the tape of the game. Just can't wait for Wednesday night, that's all I can say.
