We're Throwing in the Towel!
The 2004-2005 season saw the ransacking of this franchise over the summer, with the ditching of both kerry kittles and the heart and soul of the team, kenyon martin, for essentially nothing in return. I can't support the brooklyn ownership deal. It breaks my heart that a new jersey team will be moved to brooklyn. I still like the remaining players and coach frank, but what a shambles. So in the era of free agent players and carbetbagger owners, we're declaring our free agent status as a fan. Our new team, where we've been to several games over the years, is the miami heat. That's right, shaq is now playing on my team!

What can I say? As commissioner of martytown, I'm new jersey first, philly probably second, and always against new york! With the resigning of JASON KIDD and the addition of alonzo mourning, we had high hopes once again for the guys up in the swamp for the upcoming 2003-2004 season. But fate intervened in the case of Zo. Luckily, we finally got rid of Byron "Deer in Headlights" Scott, and now have a fair chance to win this thing with a coach on the bench!


The 2002-2003 season was as tantalizing as last year, but with the added frustration that we had the spurs on the ropes. The series was ours to win. Coach scott was like a deer in headlights in some of these games, with miserable player substitutions. Literally threw away 2 of these games. THREW IT AWAY!

Once again we got some pictures of the finals along with "the scene" in the arena. Enjoy!


The 2001-2002 season was just a magical year for jason kidd and company, even if he was robbed in the MVP voting. The nets steamrolled through the eastern conference playoffs, and I had great tickets to see the games! (And because my sixers took the bullet in the first round, I wasn't overloaded with playoff tickets.)

Anyway, we took the ol' camera to game 4 in the meadowlands, and got some good pictures of finals action vs. the lakers as well as "the scene" in the arena. While the ultimate outcome was disappointing, it was nevertheless a great run and a great season. If the nets can hold onto kidd, watch out!
