Biggest Disappointment: The fact that they don’t have Paul Pierce

This Nets team is probably the healthiest right now than it was at any point last season. And now I wish, they do probably too, how this team would’ve looked with a healthy, Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Pierce together.

It’s quite upsetting. Brooklyn is 4-3 and probably a bit better than that record indicates.

I just wish Paul Pierce was still on this team, giving them a decent shot at doing what the front office envisioned last year.
