Writers' Reads on Nets Not a Pretty Picture

The writers who follow the Nets most closely are the writers who have the most pessismistic view of the team's prospects. It's one thing for John Hollinger (24 wins) to have a negative view of the team. It's a whole other thing for the D'Alessandro's, Kerber's, Iannazzone's and Garcia's to think the worst.
Here's their most recent work on the subject...from bad to something less than good...
Al Iannazzone, The Record: 22 to 26 wins.
Fred Kerber, New York Post: 26 wins.
Dave D'Alessandro, Star-Ledger: 24 to 28 wins.
Barbara Barker, New York Newsday: 34 wins.
Julian Garcia, New York Daily News: 35 wins.
Expect worse news when the outlying newspapers are heard from. Last year, the Rocky Mountain News predicted nothing much better than a 17-win season. The Nets doubled that prediction...and The Rocky folded its doors before the end of the season.
And as D'Alessandro said in an interview with FOX Sports, "there’s always one young team that stays in the fight". We can only hope it's the Nets.

D’Alessandro said it best, and I think this is a team that will fight. They will need to have some early success to boost confidence. Without that, it could all fall apart—especially if there are any injuries. Holding my breath that Harris can stay healthy.
We’ll miss Vince, but this is an exciting young team. Orlando’s my back-up team to watch, hoping Vince takes them to the promised land.
