The definitive Halloween candy identity of every NBA team

Brooklyn Nets: Fun-size Heath bars

I know a lot of people, and some of them are old. A lot of these old people love Heath bars. It seems to be the staple candy for the baby boomer sophisticate. Something about toffee really gets their blood going.

I’ve never been a part of that group. I’m more of a just-eat-some-sugar-cubes-out-of-the-little-dish-next-to-the-coffee-machine type. But I always wonder, will this be the year that I finally think Heath bars are good?

I don’t know. I simply don’t know.

This is similar to the train of thought I have in regard to the Brooklyn Nets. Might they be good this year? Might the strange combination of epoxy and spare parts finally form a workable system? Will the embarrassment of basically sending years of their future to the Boston Celtics finally end?

I don’t know. I simply don’t know.

It could, I guess. People get older. Young players mature. Caris LeVert can maybe go from surprise to solid piece. Jeremy Lin might stay healthy. D’Angelo Russell can maybe Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Byron Scott from his soul. These are all possibilities.

We’ll have to wait and see. It might be fun. It might be good. If it isn’t, I won’t be all that surprised, but if it is, it won’t be a shock. It’ll just be the way of the world. Bad teams don’t stay awful forever. There are always other teams aiming lower. It’s important to keep perspective.
