They're not the worst team in the NBA anymore! Not only that, but a couple of the guys who do the power rankings had some nice things about Brooklyn.
The Nets won 1.99 games last week against the teams that were in the Western Conference finals six months ago.

Joe Johnson has shot less than 40 percent in eight of his 10 games.
