The Nets walk off the court without shaking hands? (and before the game ends...)

The Nets have decided to be bad sports, and since they get killed every night, to walk off without shaking hands.  Silly, but losers are as losers do.  Plus, since they get no coverage from the media (Garnett finally talked to media last night after blowing them off seven straight games.  Melo, in his first season in NY was called out after failing to talk to media after a bad loss.  In total, Carmelo has blown off media TWICE in his time in NY.  (You'd be hard pressed to find a Nets started outside Lopez that could say that about a given week.)

So, it led to this funny scene, where the Nets in their rush to get to the airport and to be bad sports, rushing off the court before the game ended.  Yes, the buzzer blew but normally you don't run away at that point like it signified a timer on a bomb. 

My favorite part is Jason Kidd counting players.  Let's see, that's one, two...

Can you imagine if the Knicks did this?  Carmelo called someone a donut and got media coverage, the Nets left the court before the game ended and silence.  Very fair coverage.
