Amidst a season with low expectations, high hopes and unbridled determination, a Brooklyn Nets team that started their season with seven straight losses now sits at 3-11 through four weeks of the regular season. They’ve been ranked in the bottom three in each of ESPN’s four weekly NBA Power Rankings. This includes a week in which they were placed dead last, behind Philadelphia who has lost 24 consecutive games dating back to last season. And the Nets can still make the playoffs.
After winning three of their previous seven, Brooklyn has shown undeniable signs of life, even in their losses.
