I don’t know how the Nets commentators managed to sound so excited after DeMarre Carroll hit another three. For one thing, it’s only DeMarre Carroll, not even someone exciting. For another, they were playing the Pacers. I could list more reasons to not get excited, but it would take up a lot of space and my fingers already hurt from typing so much today.
If I were a Nets commentator, I’d be totally checked out by this point. It’s not even the All-Star break (I guess it is now, but it wasn’t while this game was still going on), but the Nets would have sapped all the life out of me. These guys are professionals though, and they’ve seen a lot worse Nets teams in the past so this particular iteration probably seems like a godsend. At least they sometimes shoot threes. Did those finals teams even shoot one the whole year? Or score 100? Give me this team any day.
