Losing is bad enough. Losing when you have to travel across the country after playing the day before must be even worse. The Brooklyn Nets traveled to the Pacific northwest to take on the Portland Trailblazers, and took a rough six point loss. The back to backs don’t end now, so they have to figure it out in a hurry. Better to go through a rough patch in January as compared to, say, May.
The opponent tonight will be the Chicago Bulls. Billy Donovan and friends have been magnificent and find themselves atop the Eastern Conference.
