What a season it has been for the Brooklyn Nets. Many didn’t think they would even make it this far. With a brand new coach, Jason Kidd and a slew of new players including Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Mason Plumlee, and Marcus Thorton amongst others, made this Brooklyn season a quite memorable one. Last night the Nets played their final playoff game against the Miami Heat. Although Brooklyn came out to play and gave their all, they weren’t able to sustain their eight point lead to take the series to a game 6. The Nets fell to Miami 94-96.
