I'm Not A Believer.....Yet....

Even though the Nets are on an 11 game win streak, I can't seem to get excited about it. Is it because after all these years of letdowns? It seems like every time something good starts to happen with them, they manage to screw it up and play like oafs. Yes, they made it to the finals two years in a row, but they got killed by the Lakers and when they had the chance to go up 3-2 against the Spurs, they folded like chumps. Is it the "curse of the swamp"? The players? The coaches?

I just can't seem to pull the trigger and get 100% emotionally behind them. I have this deep down feeling that just as you thought they were over the hump and playing great ball and could be just about anyone - POOF! They're back to playing matador D and running a stand-still offense through Carter.

Go Nets!
