Early on in preseason, Steve Nash made it clear that it can look “ugly” at times with his new players learning how to play with each other. It was “ugly” against the Heat Thursday night.
The Nets looked like a new team with little to no continuity. For the second straight game, there was a surplus of woes on the defensive end as well as just plain sloppiness on both ends. The second preseason game ended with a 29-point defeat to the Heat and it’s clear Brooklyn will need to utilize these final two preseason games vs. the Bucks and Timberwolves to get things straight before the games start to matter in less than two weeks.
