Are the Nets Playing Too Freely?

The Brooklyn Nets have a new coach and a bunch of new players. The main free agent acquisition, Jeremy Lin, has been injured for nearly a month now with a hamstring. The team’s best player and new leader not being on the floor does hurt the Nets at times.

While Lin’s injury is detrimental to the team, Coach Kenny Atkinson praises a ‘play free’ approach to the game. The Nets players can pretty much do as they please on the floor, and there are minimal drawn up plays. The motion offense requires the ball to move and the players to move around, but, other than that, there is not much more to it.
