Referring to the Brooklyn Nets 2024-25 season as “odd” is perhaps the most political, yet still true take one can have on the campaign. Working to establish a winning standard — but overachieving at it to the point that they’re hindering their other goal of building for the future — it’s pulled us all in different directions with every step.
But for as odd as its been, it’s one they haven’t walked alone. Also the winners of a few too many games to pursue franchise-altering draft talent, yet pleased with their teams competitive growth behind young talent, the Portland Trail Blazers are right there with them this season.
