RELOADED FOR ONE MORE SHOT
NY Post
By Jay Greenberg
Bruce Ratner's NJ Nets narrowly escaped an embarassing last minute collapse by pulling it out in overtime at last night's home opener.
This morning, Post sports columnist Jay Greenberg takes stock of the team:
The Nets haven't been out of the second round in the last three springs. Kidd is 34 years old. Pending the settlement of eminent domain and environmental lawsuits in Brooklyn, the franchise is at least three seasons away from Atlantic Yards, losing double-digit millions while playing to a fan base that will inevitably be abandoned. But instead of gutting with a mind to being on the upswing for The Big Move, the Nets, five seasons removed from the finals, are taking another run.
NoLandGrab: Note that the Ratner PR team just let the cat out of the bag and acknowledged to sports journalists that the team won't be playing in Brooklyn in the 2009-2010 season (just two short years away).
