Here We Go, Yo. So What’s the Nets Scenario?
As an NBA fan, the start of every season is like standing at the end of a long hallway lined with doors opening into infinite possibility. As you progress with your favorite team down the hall, you may encounter a door hiding a serious injury, or a door with a budding superstar, or maybe a door with Wonka Fizzy Lifting Drink (just don’t lick the wallpaper in the hall, you don’t want to know what NBA players use it for in the offseason).
Everyone loves that feeling of hope that comes with not knowing exactly what’s behind those doors. Even if you don’t think your team will be any good there is that slim chance that a draft pick will work out, or a new coach will motivate the team, thus allowing you to carry over some hope to next season. Unfortunately, much of the season can feel like you’re playing Let’s Make a Deal with that hallway of doors, where things constantly change and you’re hoping you don’t end up with a donkey (or worse… Andrea Bargnani).
