The Nets have now won four straight (longest streak in the league) five of the last six and seven of the last night. They are finally back over .500 and fans have moved from being squeamish about the team’s future to skeptical. They’re not quite over the hump after the events of the first quarter of the season and so need a little more time to become optimists.
The biggest difference of course between their 2-6 start and now is Jacque Vaughn is now the head coach in Brooklyn. As Brian Lewis writes Saturday:
The Nets team that stormed into December is a totally different one than the despondent, dysfunctional one that limped into November.
