The New Jersey Nets got crushed tonight by the Pistons, and will not make a third consecutive trip to the NBA Finals. Will people around New York and New Jersey be upset tomorrow about this? No, of course not. Because no one around here cares about the Nets, they’re more concerned about whether the Yankees have enough backup first basemen.
A prediction: the next time the Nets make the playoffs, the first home game of the series will be played in Brooklyn.
