It was a wild ride for the Brooklyn Nets in the first half of the season — which was actually more than two-thirds of a season.
The Nets are 30-29 at the All-Star break, good for sixth in the Eastern Conference playoff chase, after a tumultuous first four months to the season during which Brooklyn dealt with more than their fair share of injuries.
All but the most fortunate of teams will deal with injury setbacks over the course of the NBA’s 82-game regular season grind. The Nets have not, in fact, been one of the most fortunate of teams.
