The 1982-83 Chicago Bulls started the season 6-6. The 2002-03 Cleveland Cavaliers were 2-2 through four games. The 2022-23 San Antonio Spurs were a whopping 5-2.
The Brooklyn Nets are 4-4, with an upcoming road trip against the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New Orleans Pelicans. Three games in four nights, then they’ll return home for another Celtics showdown and two games at Madison Square Garden.
The tank will be what it is. Or it won’t be what it ain’t. To focus on all the games Brooklyn hasn’t lost yet — rather than to focus on all the positives from their first eight games — is to miss the forest for the trees.
