Just glancing at Joe Harris’ recent numbers alone, it’d be easy to assume that Brooklyn’s bearded wonder is in the midst of a serious slump. In his last 9 contests, the Nets’ long-range bomber is averaging 12.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, just 42.7 percent from the field and an extremely uncharacteristic 33.9 percent from three. Reminder: Joey led the league in three-point percentage with a I-still-can’t-believe-this-is-a-real-statistic 47.4.
With Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert out of the rotation, Brooklyn’s offense has looked the part of a hot air balloon on its final propane reserves.
