How the Nets wasted a prime championship opportunity, then fell apart and left the state | Collapse

Спорт

In the mid-2000s, the NBA's Western Conference faltered a bit, allowing for the Eastern Conference to swoop in and win a couple championships. Heading into that mini era, anyone would have picked the New Jersey Nets to snatch at least one of those trophies. But instead of seizing the throne, the Nets followed back-to-back Finals visits with disaster: heartbreaking playoff defeats, payroll cuts, injuries, bad luck, and an eventual departure for Brooklyn.
This is how the New Jersey Nets collapsed.

    As a Nets fan who loved this team, Mutombo was very bad on the team. His style of rebounding completely broke their fast break offense. I really think the actual mistake of team building was their fixation on replacing Jason Collins. The Nets didn't need a strong rebounding center. Their best offense came off of Collins boxing out so Kidd could get the rebound and kick off the fast break. They spent two off seasons in a row acquiring Clunky centers who did not mesh well with the team, and couldn't stay on the floor anyway. They were stuck looking toward the center dominated NBA of the past, instead of the high tempo offenses that the NBA was slowly moving toward.

    Zo got traded for Carter. Although a lineup of Kidd-Jefferson-Carter-Kenyon? They would lose in 5 or 6 games again to the Spurs, tho, and go on a rapid spiral that results in a long 6-7 year minimum rebuild. The trade never happens here because Prokhorov would’ve bought the team in 04’, and would’ve already had his championship. Or maybe he’s going for more, and it does happen.

    @@cooperwolfe5478 Nope. The Devils were always the main team in New Jersey. The Nets were good at the same time that the Devils were good which really sucked for the Nets because they couldn't break through as a popular team. The Nets in general were always the second team in New Jersey behind the Knicks and now they're the second team in Brooklyn behinds the Knicks despite their success in NJ and now. They're just not likeable for some reason even though I and some other fans have always rooted for them.

    Nets fan here, everybody keeps forgetting that Kenyon Martin was the Net's best player after Kidd during the Finals against the Spurs but got sick. They were tied 2-2 heading back to New Jersey when Kenyon Martin got the flu. The NJ Nets then went on to lose the last two games of the Finals with Kenyon Martin playing sick. I believed the Nets had a good shot at winning the Finals or at least getting to a game 7 had Kmart stayed healthy.

    Vince is a legend. I think he makes it to the HOF. Greatest dunker of all time. He's played in 4 decades. 90's, 00's, 10's, and 20's. Just insane to think about. He's been in every role possible from rising young star, all star, superstar, contributing starter, key bench player, deep depth player, to end of bench mentor. Wish he could've gotten a ring but respect that he chose to go to teams that would give minutes so he can actually play. That experience makes him a great analyst now because he's been there and understands all roles plus had actually played with a lot of the old legends and young guys.

    Thus that early 2000's era (i.e '02-'06)of the NBA is a great example of why commentators and fans such as myself some support having "intra-conference" Finals. Perfect example would be in 2002 with the Kings and Lakers. I hope in near future that they consider this proposal? The NBA goes to seeding beginning with the Conference Finals and rename them the Final 4. If that means an all East or all West Championship Finals, so be it. Imagine in 2018, how great would a Houston/Golden State NBA Finals would have been instead of Lebron carrying on his back at best a so-so Cavs team in an otherwise weak NBA East that season? While the first 2 rounds of the playoffs **would still be the same format that been in effect for a while now, i.e Intra-Conference games only within the East and West Division. Back to this topic. In those 2 back-back finals appearance the then NJ Nets had no chance against the Spurs and Lakers. The then Jersey team were very lucky to win 2 games in '03. With that said moving up about 15 years later in 2019, I think it might be time for Prokhorov to consider selling the now Brooklyn Nets as well. Might be only chance for the Nets to become a strong contender again.
