There are very few good things to take away from this Brooklyn Nets season–the team is a lowly 9-47. Toughing it out is the hardest part of a rebuild and requires looking for positives wherever you can. Here are four for Nets fans.

At the All-Star break, there’s been very little worth celebrating from the first half of the Brooklyn Nets season.

But giving into the dread is the easy way out. At NBN, we’ll continue to celebrate the Nets. Here are four positive takeaways from the Nets’ season.
