We didn’t start the fire ... a look back at Nets weird, weird season

The day is Wednesday, October 23. The Brooklyn Nets are hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves on opening night – the big night when everybody would see the “new Nets” with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Although Durant wasn’t playing, as expected, there was still excitement… just to see him on the bench, on Brooklyn’s side.

I get off the train and come out to a beating sun. I’m wearing a funky green, brown and yellow suit as I prepare for my seventh season covering the Nets. This year was different, though.
