The Nets have had a series of forgettable moments on this, their longest road trip of the season, a six-game, 11-day, cross-country affair that at the moment has gotten them a single win, a blowout against another tanking team, the Trail Blazers. Whether it is a nail biter loss against the Lakers or an abysmal, record-setting blowout against the Clippers, Brooklyn cannot seem to get things going.
The challenges will not ease up either as the Nets will be taking on arguably the best team in the NBA in the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will be the final game of the West Coast trip before Brooklyn travels back to New York City to take on the crosstown rival New York Knicks in the first half of a back-to-back Tuesday.
