Home Movies: The Nets Get Hammered by the Celtics

NAS already spent many hundreds of words lamenting the Nets’ performance against the Celtics Wednesday night. Not to make you relive the horror, but we really thought the utter beatdown the Nets received in the first half had to be seen to be believed. Here’s the Nets first half in about two minutes of visuals:

To take revenge on the Nets real-life woes, I turn to NBA Live 10 to play against adolescent chumps who pick front-runners like the Lakers, Cavs & Celts as their team to play against me in xbox live. True to my Net fandom, I play as the lowly 3 win ballclub, in hopes that I achieve a little satisfaction with beating an elite team that pounds us into the dust in real life.
Last night’s victim was the Celtics. I rallied back from an 8 pt deficit (with 5 min quarters, is actually a lot of ground to cover) to take the big W. The reaction I get from most players is that they abruptly quit the game early once they’ve realized that they’ve been punked by the last-place dynamo. Once I got up 3 with the ball in the final 17 secs of the 4th, my opponent drops the connection. I message him “gg” and go to bed with a smile on my face.
Too bad the only arena that my Nets play hard in is virtual.

Haha, great stuff Tom. I’ll take virtual victory right now. Beggars can’t be choosers.

My nets are 36-0 right now playing on superstar mode of live 10.
On the post hurts just as much, Nets looked just plain awful.
