Credit the Brooklyn Nets. They’re not rolling over this season. Even though they may not have as much talent as many of the other teams in the Eastern Conference, it’s pretty clear that they’re going to be in a lot of games this season.

With that said, that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily going to win many either. However, the fact that this team is fighting is a positive sign. After all, I’m not sure a team led by Kenny Atkinson is going to let this team waste this season away.

One thing to keep an eye on this season regarding the Nets, however, is whether or not they decide to sell at the NBA Trade Deadline and try to regain some of the assets that they lost.
