Well, that was unexpected.
After dropping head coach Steve Nash and trading away superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, expectations were low for this season.
Somehow, the Brooklyn Nets shocked the NBA by finishing the regular season with an impressive 45-37 record and a spot in the playoffs.
We’d argue that their success is largely due to the explosive play of incumbent stars Mikal Bridges, Spencer Dinwiddie, Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton under fiery new skipper Jacque Vaughn.
However, the squad can’t rest on their laurels just yet.
First, they have to face off against the Eastern Conference’s number three seed, the Philadelphia 76ers.
And when they play at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, the squad will need all the help they can get from fans to take down Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris.
