Day 267

Fresh Start_267: The Boston Massacre
I was waiting for the lottery to get over and done with to right the article I feared I would have to write when I say the Brooklyn Net roster. The Boston Celtics are continuing their fleecing of the Brooklyn Nets. The nightmare of the Billy King trade that has been the downfall of the Net organization. The trade was a total “Win now” mentality that was so one sided that should have got rejected by the NBA itself. I’m not going to be screaming at the NBA for allowing this trade to happen, but Billy King is the Bambino or the Billy Goat in the curse scenario for the Nets.

There is no question that this Nets team will be one of the worst teams in the NBA for years to come, because even with the ability to have our own first round pick in next year’s draft, there isn’t a Lebron James in next year’s draft, and just like the Jets—the Nets have so many holes in the roster that one player won’t fix the problems that Brooklyn has. The current management of Sean Andrew Marks and Kenny Atkinson are the right people to put this team on the right path toward championship basketball.

With this “Boston Massacre” trade it is impossible to be like the 76’ers and “Trust the Process.” Net fans have to be like the old-school Clippers and have an unfathomable amount of hope. When you have the situation that the Nets find themselves in, the fans are stuck in a vacuum and really have no hope for the future and no energy for the team. It has been proven that the Nets are a terrible team, so to think that the Nets will be better next year with no lottery pick or an ability to sign any high-end free agent, winning is something that won’t happen in Brooklyn for years to come.

Winning will be that much sweeter for fans that stay and cheer now when the Nets actually start winning. To think that the Nets will win now is a thought that I cannot even comprehend right now because of how awful the roster currently is. I’m hoping this nightmare will go by quicker than how long it will last, and I look forward to be buying tickets for an NBA Finals game in Brooklyn at some point in my life. But for now, it’s doomsday in Brooklyn because the Number One team in the Eastern Conference that will host Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals tomorrow will have the first overall pick in this June’s draft. Yeah, that’s the Nets reality. Enjoy it Boston, sincerely a sad New Yorker.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
