On the Horizon: With the finish line approaching, NetsGC has its eyes on a playoff spot that is now drawing closer into view. The team has two consecutive bye weeks, including the league-wide July 4 bye week, before four crucial games in the seasonâs final two weeks. Perhaps most pivotal? A week 12-tilt with Pacers Gaming, Shockeyâs former team.
