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

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

Alright, we've got Caris back and are playing the Bulls. No way this doesn't work out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R2mTsz1oGI The Nets started the week down a few key players and ended it with a few of them back. However they also fell back a game in the win loss column. I guess I'll take

God, Jared Goff fucking blows.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGep7BPle4c There are no free lunches. I had been handed a car, a prehistoric 2004 Toyota Prius that allows me the freedom to leave the city, and the promise of better summers, so long as I can keep it running. But even free cars come with their

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day, everybody.  Wait, is that right? Can you have a Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day, or is that crass? I'm not selling mattresses here. Do I have to go with Solemn Martin Luther King Jr Day? Is it all too soon? This is going horribly.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blHmpIEThmo Hey everybody,

This team is above .500? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPk2Cg0TazY The Nets played the Celtics on Monday. This seems like a rerun from last week, but I checked. It was a different game. They met up in Brooklyn this time, so that's a change of pace. Also, they won. Much better start to the week in

Man those guys really love romcoms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2uNp80wcZY I've gone viral, only none none of you guys really know it. That's fine. On January 2nd, I'd posted a brief opinion piece on The Irony of Fate. It's a Russian movie, so unless you are well versed in their history, every single reference will go

God those Pelican and Grizzlies losses earlier this year sucked.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LoTHq5mGAQ To be a fan in 2019 is to consider yourself an expert. The experience of following either a team or a sport will inevitably force the viewer to not only believe, but to loudly proclaim to friends and complete strangers over

Infinite Nets Week 11: My Neighborhood Is Killing Me

This blog has to be about something more than simply recapping the Brooklyn Nets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIXBCmxtvEM I'm going to have to move. Not out of the city itself, or even the borough, but further away from the trendy, downtown adjacent realm where I live right now. And as much as I try to

I've been taking you for granted. It's partly my nature. Ask my wife or ex-girlfriends. Or my employers. The cycle never breaks. In the beginning I will step in to a new project/relationship/environment/habit with the work ethic of a completely earnest Amish man. I become ill with the thought of

"If we win one tomorrow, that's called a winning streak" Writers note: I'm playing though pain. My daughter has been in daycare for a few months, which means my daughter has been sick for a few months. And as a result I am sick. And also, I had to finish off

Infinite Nets Week 5: It’s Wintertime

"The world is so cold" Winter has come. The worthlessly pedantic will tell me that autumn doesn't punch out until the 21st, but that's a dweeb's way of viewing things. The leaves are down and snow has fallen. Thanksgiving isn't until next week, but sometimes Thanksgiving comes after the fall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCBXd7HZmaE Similarly, the
