nets are disappointing
So I haven't paid attention to basketball in the last 4 or 5 years really, but this playoffs i really got back into it again. It's been really exciting and a lot of fun. The last time I really enjoyed basketball like this was during my hellish years as a knick fan in the early to mid nineties. Losing every year to Michael Jordan, or even worse not being able to complete the championship run when he retired for 2 years, and falling flat on our face to Houston. It was tough, but it was really fun too.
Well this year the knicks are obviously nowhere to be seen and probably won't be for a few years, but i find myself in a similar situation seeing the Nets choke again in the finals. I'm really pulling for them, they had an awesome run winning the eastern conference, and I really thought the only team in the West they had a real chance of beating was San Antonio, so seeing them knockout LA and Dallas seemed like a great thing for the Nets. Unfortunately they don't seem to be the same team, its just sad. Tony Parker makes Jason Kidd look slow and old. The only good thing is how great Kenyon Martin is matching up against Tim Duncan, I only wish he could stay in the game more.
