We're back now, and so are your 2012 TO champions!After a week long vacation, all the stress relieved by spending time in the Dominican Republic came right back by the middle of the second quarter of this game. To put it nicely, the Nets looked terrible. To put it honestly, the Nets barely looked like an NBA basketball team. This did not look like the team that gave the Hawks a nice run on Firday, but the group that was destroyed by Atlanta earlier in the week. I said I thought the first five games where a stretch where the Nets shoul have been able to get to 3-2 or 4-1 before the season started, but obviously I was mistaken.

Game 6 Pacers @ Nets Jan 2

To say the Nets played bad would be an understatement. The Nets opened up their final year in New Jersey with a flop, being completely and totally dominated by the Pacers.
