If this were a different moment in Nets history, like about four years ago, I could regale you about the exploits of Brooklyn’s rookies during an otherwise difficult stretch that has seen them lose five of their last seven games, including a 114-108 defeat in Portland on Monday night.
I can never understand Nash's plan. Brown is a winning player. Does winning things. When he's on the court good things happen. I understand his offensive shortcomings, but he makes up for with put backs, loose ball 50/50's and his pesky D. I'm perplexed by the David Duke love affair. i like the kid, has some spunk to him, but he cannot make shots - of any kind! He's RHJ with even less offensive prowess. This team is flat out unenjoyable to watch. Other than the 3 COVID games & the LA stint (even that the Laker game losing a 21 point lead wasn't fun ) this in an uneasy 2 and a half hour watch every single night. If you notice, all of this has coincided with teh disappearing act of Patty Mills. Go back to Orlando when he was dreadful and you'll find that every loss since then he's been terrible in. Its hidden because we cant rebound or defend anyone on the arc, but as he goes, so have the Nets gone. This is a very ordinary team and I see no immediate uprising coming. 0-8 against the best teams is as telling as it gets. I enjoyed the 2018 Nets 5x as much as I do watching this team!
