No more margin for error. On Thursday night, the Brooklyn Nets were up by as many as 16 points against a shorthanded, depleted Miami Heat team. However, as is their wont, the Nets tricked the lead off and suffered another dispiriting home loss. They've fallen all the way down to .500 and things won't be getting any easier from here.
The opponent today will be the Boston Celtics. Ime Udoka and friends have figured things out and are charging up the Eastern Conference standings as we draw closer to the end of the regular season.
