It's come to this: critics of the Nets' Brooklyn arena are now going after the team's on-court talent, whether it be Vince Carter or the Nets Dancers. Critics have in the past (mostly) limited their fire power to owner Bruce Ratner, who they are battling in the courts. Now, they are calling Carter "Ratner's pet player" and an "aging star" while saying the Dancers' website "smacks of a high-class strip joint". Meanwhile, the new boss of the arena project says SHE is up for the challenge.
