ESPN has really low expectations of the Brooklyn Nets — what’s new? The publication forecasted that the Nets will win just 29 games this season, and recently, it ranked the Nets’ roster as the third-worst in sports. Now, ESPN’s latest power rankings have Brooklyn finishing all the way on the bottom.
According to ESPN’s heartless Basketball Power Index, Brooklyn is projected to go a lowly 23-59 and, perhaps worse yet, is favored in just four of its 82 games going into the season, which is the same minuscule number Philadelphia had to settle for when last season began.
