Lost Outpost #1: The Silver Lining To the Nets' Losing Season.
The sun and the temperature are both a bit high this time of day for me in Aruba. So, this little vacation downtime is providing me with the opportunity to sit back with a cold Balashi (the Aruban beer), reflect & post up a few "Lost Outpost" blogs. Ones that I would've liked but didn't get the chance to post in a more timely fashion. Like this one:
I like the NJ Nets -- I especially like Vince Carter. Jason Kidd, well, . . . so long.
I would've liked to have seen the Jersey Boyz do better this season but, hey, the silver lining to that cloud of their losing season was my wife, Annie, and I being offered a couple of courtside seats for a game against Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson and the rest of the Denver Nuggets. Headed for the lottery or not, this was still a chance to see great players up CLOSE. And, BONUS, Vince (love it that he has NO showing tattoos) in addition to playing a great game in a losing cause, drained one right in front of us.
