You win some, you lose some. And sometimes, I guess, a third option happens that makes fans question why they plan their time around watching their favorite sports teams. I imagine that mix of self-reflection and disappointment is what most Nets fans were feeling around 8:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday night. What time you want to mark Brooklyn’s official time-of-death as depends on when the reality of what you were watching fully set in.
Maybe it was at 13-4, after a nasty Jaylen Brown crossover/behind-the-back combination led to a 3-pointer and a Brooklyn time-out. Maybe you got a sense of what Wednesday’s contest, or lack thereof, was early on.
