Just over a week removed from their 2023-24 season finale, nobody has paid a shred of attention to the settling dust around the Brooklyn Nets. While the Jordi Fernández hiring indeed brought some interest, some hope to the perished team, the NBA spotlight, rightfully so, belongs to the 16 teams still breathing right now.
It’s been a quiet death — and that’s probably for the better.
I’ve long praised this team’s supporters as some of the league’s toughest. It’s survival of the fittest, and Nets fans are like sharks — persisting through an abundance of cataclysmic, mass extinction events that would have wiped just about anyone else out.
