Not wanting to go all Dickensian on you, but the opening of “A Tale of Two Cities” seems apt right now for the Brooklyn Nets of 2024-25
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.”
It goes on from there, each new line reenforcing the previous one in arguing that two seemingly disparate truths can exist side by side ... much like, ya know, being competitive during a tank in the NBA. Yeah, it’s a stretch, but that’s basically where the Nets find themselves after Friday night’s overtime loss to the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics in Boston and just before they face the 10-0 Cleveland Cavaliers, coached by Kenny Atkinson, on Lake Erie.
