The Nets enter Tuesday with a 1-9 record — the latest loss coming at the hands of the Knicks, 134-98. Drake Powell had his best game in his early NBA career with 15 points. Egor Demin is starting to come along. Cam Thomas is out 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury. Otherwise, it hasn’t been pretty and there isn’t much else to say than that. Maybe they’ll have better luck against Toronto.

The Game
Teams are too good for you to play defense this bad. Brooklyn is allowing a mind-blowing 126.6 points per 100 possessions! That shouldn’t be humanly possible, but here we are. It doesn’t’ help that they’re the worst rebounding team in the NBA as well. When you can’t get stops AND you allow extra scoring opportunities, you’re begging for a beatdown.
