The 2018 NBA Draft is in the books. A day after the Dwight Howard drama (and eventual fizzling out), the Brooklyn Nets made their first acquisitions of the summer. No, the Nets did not move up, nor did they absorb another salary dump after the Howard deal — Brooklyn stayed at picks 29 and 40 […]
Marks Madness: Understanding The Nets’ Draft Pick Position
Marks Madness: Understanding The Nets’ Draft Pick Position March Madness is here! The NCAA’s most profitable (for some) venture has already seen first round action.

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 […]

If weather permits — a dicey proposition at this point — they’ll play the Northwest Division-leading Portland Trailblazers (31-13). Two brutal losses […]
