Net Zero ... The Team With 2.5 Of The World's Greatest Athletes

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Chicago Bulls
have not been this good
since Michael Jordan retired

They are a first-place team
in the NBA,
Eastern Division

The Oklahoma City Thunder
have not been this bad
since Oklahoma 
became a state

They are a last place team
in the NBA,
Houston notwithstanding

Within twenty-four hours,
the Brooklyn Nets
played both teams
 
Against the first-place Bulls
—on their Chicago court—
the ballers from Brooklyn
beat the home team 

Correction:
the Nets pulverized the Bulls
—winning by twenty-six points—
 
That was Wednesday night 

The gloriously victorious Nets
fly home
 
On their home court
in Brooklyn,
they play the
thunderless Thunder
 
And the abysmal visiting team
beat the home team
 
Correction:
the Thunder pulverized the Nets
winning by twenty-one points
 
That was Thursday night
 
And that's the way
the ball bounces

      Very punny ... Kyrie playing in the blowout
      of the Bulls, inspired the team to fly
      from Chi to NY on Cloud Nine,
      which had an unscheduled
      but very rough landing
