If the Nets lose tonight, it’ll be their worst start to a season since they lost the first seven games in 2015-16. After that, we’re beginning to look at 12-70 territory when the team opened the season with
18 straight losses. Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that, but it’s hard to stay optimistic.
Their defense remains historically bad. The rookies are hardly playing. And Jordi Fernandez said the Nets lacked effort on Sunday. A young team that is trying to rebuild its identity with five first-round picks should NOT have issues with effort. Just saying. Maybe they’ll find solace with Anthony Edwards out on Monday night.

THE GAME
For as shaky as the Wolves defense may be right now, they’re a heck of a lot better than the Nets. The issue with Brooklyn is they just don’t appear in sync at all on defense. Blown coverages, late rotations, and just a general lack of resistance all around. It makes for a draining, frustrating watch for Nets fans at home and in the arena.
