Seriously, this is the worst written article by a sports writer I have ever seen written about the Nets. I almost literally threw my laptop against the wall while reading this writer belittle the Nets.

"Speaking of the Nets, how irate were they during Friday night's game with the Magic? I'm not sure, but I think I saw two guys from Jersey in front of the Amway Center burning their pre-order receipts for D-12 Nets jerseys. …

Hey, I've got a terrific idea. With Dwight staying in Orlando, maybe the Nets can turn that new building in Brooklyn into the world's largest indoor flea market. Or maybe they can turn it into a petting zoo for all the rats they will bring with them from Jersey. … Stefan Bondy, a writer for the New York Daily News, referred to the Magic's big man as "Dwight Coward" for shunning the Nets. Coward? Why — because he came to his senses and decided he didn't want to go to the bright, er, blight lights of the big city? Here's all you need to know about New Jersey: Jeff Turner, the former Magic player, used to play for the Nets in the 1980s. On the last day of his last season with the team, Turner loaded up a U-Haul with all his belongings, hooked it up to his Ford Bronco, drove it to the arena and left town immediately after the game. "I didn't want to stay in New Jersey any longer than I had to," Turner once told me. … Finally, a memo to those dozens of Nets fans who are indignant because they think Dwight did them wrong: "You're the Nets. Nobody cares." …

Wow, a BC sighting. Please don't leave us!

What a garbage article, just shot down an entire franchise for no reason. This is arguably worse than the build around Green and Blatche article.

Everything the OS writes is pure garbage .. This writer has a bad article about the Nets, while his colleague wrote an crap article about Dwight, they've been trying to chase him out of town for months now, and now that he staying for another year, they have to turn their crap to another team

We hate that newspaper even more than you guys, trust me

Coming from an Orlando fan. Thanks, makes me feel less ticked off.

I'm cant believe what I just read.

That article is the most unprofessional piece of rubbish I've ever seen. Is there an address I could get in touch with the editor of that paper to lodge a complaint?

"Professional" journalist writing as if he were a fan...

[BlueDawn]

Sadly, many people will agree with this article. =/ Sigh.

[dacher]

Funny, how pathetic and petty this guy makes himself sound. Little man syndrome, puffed up little town ego. What's Orlando? Cheap motel rooms. Not much of a place to live or work.

You should end before that sentence. Do not trash the city because of him. This is what starts fan wars.

Yeah, to be honest.

If you can get through this trade deadline, you can get through anything as a fan.

What organization has brought their fans through as much turmoil and stress as the Nets of the last 5 years?

In a sick and twisted way, I feel like everything that has happened has only made me a mentally stronger and more delusional Nets fan lol.

Idk why I like to suffer but hey, "I LOVE IT!"

[Jersey Generals]

Go **** yourself. You should be embarrassed about this drivel that you wrote. What kind of community college did you get your journalism degree from? Clearly, they did not teach you the part about ethics, because what you said about citizens of New Jersey and Nets fans alike is just disgusting. You should be fired for that piece of drivel. So again, go **** yourself.

I wrote that dirtbag a letter as well. Hopefully we can get the info on the editor and give him/her a piece of our minds.

As a Magic fan, I can honestly say don't take anything Mike Bianchi or Brian Schmitz write seriously. Their "articles" (read: Trash) they throw up on OS is most of the time, just pure filth and reeks of vomit and urine.

But when it is Stephen A. Smith waving his pom poms on how Dwight to NJ is a done deal, it is journalism?

Your an idiot if you can't see the difference between SAS and this rubbish.

This article is attacking New Jersey, nothing to do with basketball and for no reason what so ever. It's just cheap shots throughout the article. What cheap shots has SAS made about the city made of Orlando?

Stick them in here because id love to read it

...you're serious?

Why don't you go back to the flea market that Dallas is with the rest of the rats that come from there. Seriously, get out.





Offensive, right?

ROFLMAO How many jokes can i recall in my lifetime where Jersey was the punch line...even in Movies too? How many times is Orlando that same punch line? lol enough said. Not anyone's fault but your own that you live or root for a team that plays in the Concrete Boot Capital of the world.

You're an idiot. Go look up the richest states in America.. Have you actually ever been to Jersey?

Oh, and by the way...I'm plenty happy living in the so called "Concrete Boot Capital of the World," what with earning more in three months than the average income of Orlando.

Stay classy, though.


By the way, Orlando is great. Don't know why anyone would put it down.
