NETS' PLAYOFF HOPES DEAD
NY Post
by Fred Kerber
Congratulations, Bruce Ratner!
Under your stewardship, the NBA-championship-contending team you acquired just five years ago are playoff also-rans for the second consecutive season. Even worse than the injury to pride that comes with failing to qualify for the post-season, the failure to realize any playoff revenue will wreak further damage on the Nets' already anemic bottom line.
Congratulations, too, to team President and CEO Brett Yormark, who's seemingly more concerned with promoting Brett Yormark than putting a winning team on the court.
We look forward to an entertaining off-season, and all the colorful promotions the Nets will dream up in their desperate attempts to sell tickets for the 2009-2010 season.
Now the Nets don't even have math on their side.
The Nets' unlikely bid for a playoff berth in a rebuilding season where forecasters predicted they would do little more than hurt themselves, ended last night as the Celtics dealt them a 106-104 loss.
