Snakes on the Brain, Pt II

For this morning's column the Viper was in vicious form, slicing through a treacherous whine from New Jersey's superstar point guard:

After the Nets got wiped out by the Thunder at the Rock (3-for-23 from the Outer Bridge Crossing; 31 percent overall), they put the blame squarely where it belonged … with the building.

“I don’t like this arena one bit,” Deron Williams said. “It’s a good thing it’s not our arena after this year. Even last year, it didn’t feel like a home arena.”

At least the Nets are first in something: Nobody else has ever had trouble shooting in Newark.

Where satire happens ... perennially.

Would have liked to have seen Dolan at least jabbed at, somewhere on this poster.
