Brooklyn Nets to Trade Brook Lopez to Boston Celtics in

Young described himself as “dog tired” and the rest of the team looked stuck in the mud, as well.

Brooklyn is 3-13 on the season, and despite coming off a close game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in which they lost on a last-second game-winner from LeBron James, the Nets have been flat-out bad.

On a night his shot wasn’t falling, Brook Lopez did all the little things the Brooklyn Nets needed to win. Final week we performed nicely in Oakland (towards Golden State) and did not win.

“We have been capable of battle again”, stated Nets head coach Lionel Hollins stated.

“We are who we are”, he continued, honestly, “and if we go out and play together as a team and work as a group and try to be disciplined in what we’re doing, we give ourselves a chance. We had sufficient stretches tonight to win and that was the ball recreation”. Now, they get a major break – playing only 11 total road games in December and January. The Nets got a strong defensive contribution from Lopez, who had a season-high six blocks, four assists as well as tying a career-high with four steals to go with nine rebounds. “I knew I wasn’t going to be down on myself and if I received an opportunity, I might make my photographs”. “They were just sort of feeling sorry for themselves”.

According to New York Times, the Brooklyn Nets’ general manager Bill King said the team had gambled and lost when they traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnet to the Boston Celtics in 2013, while the star players were very productive. “In the fourth quarter we held them to 16 points”.

Since the 2009-10 season – that is, coinciding with their six consecutive non-playoff seasons, plus this season – the Pistons are 113-131 at home. “It wasn’t the prettiest, but I heard something when I was a rookie”.

“At the end of the day as long as it goes in the “W” column, we’re happy with it, ” point guard Jarrett Jack said. They had a 13-game streak against Utah that ended Wednesday night with a 102-91 loss.

Drummond additionally had a tremendous three offensive rebounds in a single sequence, displaying his domination on the backboards.

The lackluster effort had Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy looking back to another mediocre effort from earlier in the week. We’ll take it, and hopefully we’ll be able to build on that come Tuesday.

Much of that is a credit to the Nets’ defense.

At halftime, the Pistons led the Nets 41-35. Detroit finished the game shooting 33.7 percent compared to the Nets’ 43.2 percent. Lopez attributed that to their “trust”. Even [Sunday night], we didn’t play our best.

That attitude has been missing since the team moved to Brooklyn in 2012-13, and it will surely keep the Nets in the hunt in a wide open Eastern Conference. The Nets play their next eight games in NY, with one against the Knicks at the Garden on Friday.
