Good Thing It's Almost Over

What a turnaround, from a 14 point lead to absolute oblivion, all in a half hour against the Cavs tonight.

All I can say is, a new low has been reached. Officially, I would say the off-season has started, even if the Nets are still mathematically in the playoff hunt. That magic number to a long off-season is down to one.

This was a debacle. I came home late and turned the game on as the Nets were cresting to a 14 point third quarter lead. The Cavs looked dead and lifeless, while the Nets looked confident. And on a dime, it turned, with Daniel Gibson suddenly pushing the pace, and LeBron taking over despite the bad back.

The fourth quarter had the Nets looking like zombies, making exactly one field goal, and turning a one point game into a 21 point blowout faster than you can say "fire Lawrence Frank".

For all the talk of still playing hard (and to be fair, I missed two and a half quarters of this one), the Nets looked like they laid down and died. They must have missed 10 baskets from close to point blank range, and suddenly didn't have the energy to get the ball all the way to the basket.

Oh, this was a new low all right.

I'll get a game review up tomorrow night (yep, on a plane by 8AM, home by 8PM), but at this point, what else is there to say really but thank goodness it's almost over.

A total makeover should be in the works, if it isn't already, because there is no way I could stand another season with the exact same cast of characters we have now.

I'll give you my list of players who should stay later this week. I'd love to hear yours.

Peace, Netsfans - go get some sleep.
