There’s something about Brooklyn’s lack of competitiveness that really irks me (cuts to Nets fans and Kevin Garnett sadly nodding). I mean, when the most competitive guy on your team is the 38-year-old veteran who’s trying to take a bite out of Joakim Noah, you know you have problems with your personnel. <p> </p> <p>But for the sake of not beating a dead Brooklyn horse, let’s focus on the positives. Bojan Bogdanovic has thrown his name into the running for the Rookie of the Year award and…wait, that’s pretty much it. That 1-1 record doesn’t look so bad until you remember the one victory came against the Sixers…in a game where Brooklyn had to rally late in the fourth just to hold them off. If this team makes the playoffs, I’m boycotting the first round in the East.</p>. (6-9). Previous: . Brooklyn Nets. 22. team. 147

Next: No. 21 - Overachieving Orlando. Kind Of.
