Joe Netsfan | Diatribe 2004



				Diatribe #7 - June 27, 2005 Summertime Special New! In what is likely to be the last diatribe of the '04 - '05 season, Joe looks forward to the summer and the annual rite of passage in the NBA - that change is good, and necessary to compete for a championship. Joe looks at the draft and tries to make sense out of a very uncertain evening tomorrow. Who would Joe ultimately hope the Nets pick? It's no surprise he's going with Sean May...Read on... Diatribe #6 - May 17, 2005 Do What You Gotta Do Joe's back with his thoughts on the Nets off-season activities. Despite his love for Vince Carter and Nenad Krstic, Joe's putting his assistant GM cap on and telling Rod Thorn and Ed Stefanski to "do what you gotta do" if it means making the big, bold gesture and acquiring the likes of Kevin Garnett. Joe plays out his fantasy, then comes back to reality to remake the Nets roster for the 2005 - 2006 season. Read on... Diatribe #5 - October 4, 2004 Roster Gazing Where oh where are all the stars? They're sure not on the Nets' roster. Jason Kidd was the star who brought the shine back to NJ, but now he's injured, the franchise is on the way out to Brooklyn and Richard Jefferson is all that stands between the swamp and another dead body of a team. Joe's looking over the roster, and, while it's sure not that bad, it ain't exactly "rebuilding"...Read on... Diatribe #4 - September 14, 2004 Pinch Me, I Must Be Dreaming A mere three weeks until the start of training camp, and Joe's not feeling the usual passion for the Nets. Instead of dreaming of championships, Joe's left with a roster he's still struggling to come to terms with. Can Joe's dreams turn into reality? Read on... Diatribe #3 - August 5, 2004 Proud To Be Joe Netsfan He's here for you, Netsfans. Joe breaks down and admits that he's a Netsfan for life, basically. No, he doesn't like what's going on. No, he's not going to Brooklyn. No, he's not supporting the new ownership group with one thin dime. But he'll be around this year to share your pain. If your a true Netsfan, that is...Read on... Diatribe #2 - July 19, 2004 Last Train To Loserville All aboard the Ratner Express to Brooklyn! The con game train is taking off for the loserville, minus Mr. Martin and some of his friends. It'll cost more, you'll get less, but Mr. Ratner does invite you to attend his con game on board...Read on... Diatribe #1 - July 12, 2004 Back From Vacation Blues Back from vacation with the blues, Joe tries to make sense of the last 10 days in Nets land. Rodney Rogers rejects and gets set free? Wow. KMart might be up for a huge increase, and newer digs? Ugh. Shaq on the move, salaries out of control, and Bruce Ratner about to take control of the Nets - what Joe needs is a good laugh, which is provided by Netsfan friend The Duck...Read on...
