Credit the Brooklyn Nets. For a team that was picked to finished with the worst record in the NBA – not one of the worse records, THE WORST – they actually aren’t that bad.

Even without Jeremy Lin for a while, the Nets have proven that they’re going to compete night in and night out. They have two wins on the season – over the Pacers and Pistons. Not bad.

The Nets don’t have much to look forward to this year, but the fact that Sean Kilpatrick is averaging 17 points on 41 percent shooting from three is nice. Also, keep an eye on this team potentially moving Brook Lopez. It’s been rumored in the past, and this team really needs to regain some of its lost assets.
