Lost in Jersey
NY Daily News
It's crunch time in the NBA playoffs, but that hasn't stopped Brooklyn blogger Scott Turner from asking the tough question: Why do New Jersey-based Nets fans still support the Brooklyn-bound Nets?"We don't wanna be unduly harsh," the Atlantic Yards critic writes on FansForFairPlay.com. "But can you imagine Brooklyn baseball fans in 1958 helping out Walter O'Malley? If O'Malley had said, 'I'm moving my team to Los Angeles because it's prettier to my wallet than Brooklyn, but I need you to spend money on the Dodgers for three more years,' Brooklynites would have told him to shove it. Ebbets Field would have been so empty that the Derrick Coleman 'whoop de damn do' era Meadowlands would've looked like a packed house in comparison."
