You know the proverb: out of the frying pan and into the fire. After losing their last two games to the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors by an average of 39 points (their last seven losses have a margin of 21.1), they head into Minneapolis Target Center for a game with the Minnesota Timberwolves, currently leading the Western Conference with a 39-17 record.
The excuses have all reached expiration dates. The Nets are as healthy as they’ve been all season and they dumped their head coach. Nothing seems to work with the current roster and chances of making even the play-in seem slim.
