How did I do this every night before? Remember that? I did these after every game. That was poorly conceived. Granted, that's how you become a #thing but still, how does anybody talk this much about basketball. Are there new insights? For one team? Every single game? Frankly, I'm surprised

Infinite Nets Game 78: Five Cigarettes To Go
Infinite Nets Week 24: Turn it over
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRIclgJhJ7s My daddy caught me smoking those cigarettes this year. And he made me smoke the whole pack in front of him and everybody, until I'd vomited and forgotten how to feel the sensation. This is all a melodramatic metaphor, of course. But what does it mean? It means that it's baseball season
Infinite Nets Week Week 23: Fading
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85wVC9j1k1Q I can no longer speak about this team with any level of intelligence. That is both a combination of several factors. One is that I feel as though I've felt every emotion, and said everything that could be said from my perspective, as this team has fluctuated in between sloppy
Infinite Nets Week 22: The Playoffs Begin
Not officially https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PSq_zLhvmE I'm hitting the wall. I'd cruised though the winter, happy to have something to keep myself occupied through those cold, black nights. Sure the Nets games largely coincide with my rambunctious daughter's waning moments, rendering me into both an inattentive fan and father. That putrid combination of giving both
Infinite Nets Week 21: Brain Melt
If you can't stand the heat, shut the fuck up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTKJ8RT2Qkw When I was 23 years old, I'd moved to Florida with vague ambitions. The 2004 vote was coming up, and I'd doubtlessly join the cause to help the Democrats take back the election. But mostly, I was just going to blow
Infinite Nets Week 20: The Sad Goodbye
This is all for the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhQq9xbrST4 We've entered the buildup before the painful stretch. All season long, the Nets have defied their reputation to make the playoffs. At the outset of the year the people who have stock in the notion of building through the draft, said that the Nets should
Infinite Nets Week 19: Hello Again
This season is still going? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOoyglQKBUs I've hit the wall. Following the team as closely as I have has gone more smoothly than I could have imagined when I'd thought up this column back in July, but they've played 61 games and I believe I've watched 58 (or at least a sizable
Fresh Set Of Eyes: Office Romance
Office Romance is a Rom-Com about people with horrifying teeth falling in love or lust with the talent at the workplace. As with the past entries on The Irony of Fate, and Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears there is a fair amount of misdirection, but the movie is a straightforward romantic comedy. It's
Infinite Nets Week 18: All Star Week
As God is my witness, there was nothing that I could have done, honey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKCQymeoU20 It's a short week. The Nets entered it having lost all of their rhythm with Spencer Dinwiddie, however they were getting other players back, and the break was coming. Like a fighter waiting for the bell, they
