  I've made a huge mistake They claim that it's always darkest before the dawn, but times like this you start to wonder if that light at the end of the tunnel is just the beckoning call of the afterlife that you're supposed to walk toward in death. The Brooklyn Nets are

"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

Good Lord Hello and welcome to the new format of Infinite Nets. We're going to a weekly recap as opposed to a daily version. Why are we doing a weekly recap? Because, hell man, I can watch every game, but I sure as hell can't come up with compelling content for

This is a bit of a manifesto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t55mPcfeZX0 The Nets are taking on the 76ers, and as it will be for at least the next several years, this means that I will be forced to remember and evaluate Sam Hinke's infamous "Process" and the very idea of tanking. To be clear, Sam

Mom, you've really got to stop that shit. My little cocoon has been invaded. Contrary to popular opinion, these Nets have not driven me to insanity yet. For eight beautiful games, they've actually kept me occupied. My writing has had a focus as opposed to my getting bored with a novel

Hello My Honey, Hello My Baby, Hello My Ragtime Gal Of course. Of fucking course they did. I had just gotten done talking my ass off about how the Nets weren't that bad. I swore they were legit. The trash Knicks fans at my office would have to watch them for

Maybe I can keep this up for 82 games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6a2dgbV8ls We're six games in the books for the Brooklyn Nets season, and I'm going strong in the 2-4 campaign. I should explain something, way back when I came up with the idea for this column, I was going to game by game,

Mmmm. That's what I came here for.  It'd be a waste of a column if they were good. Well, that's not fair. The Nets were good tonight. For almost the whole game, even. I wasn't sold what was advertised in my mind when I dreamed up the idea of following Brooklyn.

Four games in, and I'm crazed as a shithouse rat.  I'm back home, in the chaos and anxiety of the metro area, where everything makes so much more sense. I've had four days to think about the team since their loss in Indiana. For whatever reason, I am comfortable with the
