Why The Nets Only Have 4 Wins While Other Teams Have More
I usually try to keep the Nets away from NBAPlaybook.com. For one, they are an awful team who gets blown out a lot, so there aren’t too many “key possessions.” Also, along with Mark Ginocchio, I co-run the Nets Truehoop Network blog NetsAreScorching, so most of my Nets stuff goes over there. The Nets’ game last night against Detroit showed us some things that I want to talk about here.
“The Nets have the talent, why aren’t they winning any games?” Being the blogger that talks about the Nets, I hear a variation of this question at least once a day. Whenever I am asked, I give a generic answer that involves “Injuries, them being young, and the fact that they don’t have a real coach.” You know what though, those are just excuses. When the Nets played the Pistons (a team that I think the Nets are equal with in terms of talent), you saw the real reason. They don’t execute late, while other teams do.
