If you’ve watched any Brooklyn Nets game this season you know there are two inescapable facts. Much like in life you can’t escape death and taxes, the Brooklyn Nets can’t escape turnovers and bad defense. The Brooklyn Nets are allowing 121.4pts a game heading into their game with the Denver Nuggets. Only the New Orleans Pelicans are allowing more points a game to opposing teams (122.4).
The defense has been so dreadful in key stretches that it has prompted the Brooklyn Nets to go out and sign one of Kyrie Irving’s former teammates in Iman Shumpert (see what he brings here).
