Recap of Week’s Games/News
The second week of action bore out almost identical results as we witnessed during the opening week. The Nets were blown out by a superior opponent to kick off the week (no late fourth quarter comeback this time), then bounced back by picking up a solid home win over a potential playoff team and finished off by losing a tightly contested game.
However, there was one major difference for the Nets; Jeremy Lin suffered an injury during the Nets win over the Detroit Pistons.

Without Lin, the Nets have turned to rookie point guard Isaiah Whitehead to lead the team. Though, he too was sidelined with an injury, the young man looked good in more than spot minutes for the team.
As of this post the nets are 3-4 and that alone is enough to bow down at the feet of new head coach Kenny Atkinson. However, in all the promise and progress this team has showed not everything is rainbows and sunshine in Brooklyn.
This week we take a look at the Nets defense and how it is actually hindering the Nets from being an even better team than they currently are.
