Were you keeping up with the Brooklyn Nets last month? If so, then you know January wasn’t a great month for the team and they’re fighting hard to turn around the remainder of the season.
The Nets only won three out of the 15 games in January, with their share of channel turning blowouts and absolute heartbreaking losses. There were also injuries that took out Deron Williams for weeks with a fractured rib as well as Mirza Teletovic suffering from blood clots in his lungs. Teletovic was told that he would have to miss the remainder of the season. Rumors about trades seemed to pop up almost daily that would threaten to send foundation players like Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, and Joe Johnson away. Also, no Nets player made it into the actual All-Star game and the Brooklyn team fell out of playoff contention. January was just as cold to the Nets as it was to the rest of the east coast.
Along comes February and the Nets started off the month with some positive news. Deron Williams would return to action since he injury, Mirza Teletovic would be able to rejoin the team, and the Nets have cooled down trade talks. And get this, sources close with the Nets have confirmed that they are highly interested in bringing back “Dray Live” Andray Blatche. There are never enough Dray Live highlights.
The Nets have had moral victories late last month but these type of victories don’t get put in the history books. They’ve been fighting harder, competing with the top teams in each conference, and were so close to winning many games before the end of regulation.
Another result that would also give them the championship would be a loss from their closest contender, No. purchase cialis 6 Perdue Boilermakers, against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Lopez became only the 3rd Nets player to score 35 off the bench while Jarrett Jack hit a career high 35 points, still in a losing effort. Deron Williams was needed and last night Williams gave the Nets a shot in the arm they desperately needed. He seemed to fit right in with the team. The Clippers looked to dismantle the Nets again but the Nets had other ideas as they rallied back at the late, finally winning their first home game of the year. Jarrett Jack who hit the game winning shot said he hopes that February is very kind to them. If the keep playing like this, the remainder of the season just might be.
