The Chiba Jets have been hit with a severe reality — that much is certain. But that's something they expected when they defected from the bj-league to the NBL before this season.
"We understood there would be a challenge," Jets head coach Reggie Geary said recently. "And there would be a learning curve to figure things out."
The Jets shocked fans early on, winning their first four games to open the NBL season. They swept the Hitachi Sunrockers and Link Tochigi Brex in their first two series.
