OKC Thunder: TI editor power ranking week 9: The shuffle is on
team. 147. . 13-18. Previous: 26th. Brooklyn Nets. 14
Scan all the Nets games and you’ll find they never give up. Great quality for a team to have because there will be opponents who arrive in New York and decide to take in the town, then arrive lacking energy for the game. There are three or four markets this occurs in. New York, LA, Miami, Toronto, and Chicago are the largest markets in the Association and as such offer late night clubbing, restaurants and entertainment.
Suffice to say the Nets probably get a handful of wins every season due to this phenomenon. The question is after all this time does Sean Marks want to forfeit his pick to get his club into the postseason with the likelihood of a first (maybe second) round exit?
One guarantee, is if you are searching for a good game on a slow night you can always count on the Nets fighting right until the final horn.
Ed Davis doesn't resent the limited role the Brooklyn Nets ask him to play. He revels in doing the dirty work. (By @howardmegdal) https://t.co/KjgyXSJqDF pic.twitter.com/F6uNwlwA8P
