The Nets’ locker room is quiet. Players aren’t talking much and if they are, they want to head out as soon as they can. It’s their eighth loss in a row — this time a 19-point lead that was lost in the fourth quarter. It was just another epic collapse late. Fans started the talking the tank, while we wrote about how the Nets “Mastered the art of blowing games.”
I ask somebody close to the team if they’re deflated.
“Deflated? Nah. We got a game in two days.” Something so simple, yet so important.
