Shifts in Eastern Conference can help Brooklyn Nets exceed expectations
The Brooklyn Nets are used to being underdogs. Drastically low expectations have become the norm surrounding the Nets ever since the futile Kevin Garnett-Paul Pierce “super team” experiment left the team bereft of draft picks. It doesn’t help that Brooklyn finished in last place last season, though as I’ve noted on numerous occasions, the team […]

Patience is Paramount: Revisiting Billy King’s first year with the Nets Sean Marks recently celebrated his one-year (and a day) anniversary of becoming the Brooklyn Nets’ general manager.

Analyzing the Nets’ Offensive Woes
Analyzing the Nets’ Offensive Woes Previously, I deconstructed Kenny Atkinson’s offensive system and influences in his first season as the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach. When it’s run successfully, it’s a system that gets everyone involved and works for open looks from the perimeter and easy buckets at the rim. The Atlanta Hawks, under Mike Budenholzer, have […]

The ABCs of Thanksgiving
The ABCs of Thanksgiving In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we thought it might be worthwhile to look at the ABCs of the Brooklyn Nets just under one month into the season. Sure, it’s been rough, at times, and unfortunate, of course, that Jeremy Lin has missed so much time already — but with a renewed […]
