Why the Mavericks’ Next Move Could Exploit the Nets’ Most Vulnerable Moment Yet
The Nets are 11-25 for the season, and that record actually might be a reflection of them performing better than expected. I suppose any NBA team has the talent to compete in any game, but the reality is that the Nets are a team of role players. Michael Porter Jr. has been very good for them as the “leading man.” That is certainly a role he always wanted to play, and I’m not saying the Nuggets held him back, because injuries did their share, but this is likely something that was mutually beneficial. Outside of MPJ, the Nets have Cam Thomas, a microwave scorer, who, frankly, I don’t think gets enough credit for just how many buckets this guy makes. If you don’t watch a lot of basketball, there are a few guys who are uniquely enjoyable to watch when they are on a hot streak. Steph Curry is an obvious one, but Thomas is up there for me. The dude just pours in buckets, and, to be transparent, has ruined more than one of my bets.
