A couple of weeks ago, Zach Lowe started off his podcast segment with Adrian Wojnarowski by saying, “Let’s talk about the Nets,” then paused and said something along the lines of “because everything in the NBA now is about the Nets.”
And that level of interest isn’t subsiding. After the last three games, a weird mix of games against the Thunder, Wizards and of course the Clippers, things have picked up. Pundits on line and on TV are marveling at the Nets offense and wondering if their defensive hardships will kill their chances for a championship, which is after all the goal.
