Do I reflect here or wait until it really is all over? I could end it right now, but that would be a cop out. As I told my friends about the column, the constant question was "You're really going to watch and write about 82 Nets games?" "Plus the playoffs," I

In the end, all the anxiety and melodrama were in vain. For what seems like forever, I've spent the end of this season, cursing the way things would ultimately shake out, but that's over. Neurosis is obsolete. Pity is undeserved. The Brooklyn Nets are in the playoffs. The long fear

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.
