And so it ends.
Thus ends the 2006-2007 season for my New Jersey Nets.
I should have known that a team could not win a championship when its offense is best described as an "ill-advised jump shot arsenal."
Or when its defensive scheme is best described as "jumping in front of an opposing player from 3 feet away with an outstretched arm a half-second too late to actually defend the shot."
And yes, it is still about Vince.
I'm tired of talking about Vince. He's just not The Guy. I wish him well in his future endeavors, be they in Orlando or Charlotte or...I don't know, Italy. Whatever. I think the Nets would be better off with another 2. Someone who is a bit more role player and a bit less...well, Vince. The rest of the team is too content to watch Vince and leave things in his hands. And Vince is just not capable of it. I don't know if he wants it or not. I have to assume "not".
Anyway. I'm too dejected to read any recaps or look at any stats or anything tonight.... I shed my tear and drank away my sorrows, and that is all I feel like doing for now.
The off-season questions arise for Becky on the morrow. But I want to say that a lot of guys showed a lot of heart, and I am actually, yes, proud to be a Nets fan. I hope there's a Mikki re-signing. I hope there's a healthy Nenad. I hope Kidd has the wherewithal to keep playing with the reckless abandon he showed this postseason. I hope a lot of things....
But mostly, I hope the 2007-2008 season gets here quickly. Because I miss this already.

are you hoping that Vince opts out of his contract?
