A get right game for the Nets, particularly for Joe Harris and Seth Curry? This could be the one. The concern? Bench play. Brooklyn is not deep without Irving, Watanabe, and most of Simmons, working his way back from two injuries, now. Meanwhile, the Knicks are only deep. Their starting lineup is getting smothered at a net rating of -8. 8. Bench-heavy lineups are doing the opposite, particularly ones buoyed by Brunson.

Nets return home for Battle of the Boroughs, part one, vs. KnicksDamn, that one would have been nice. The Nets ended their three game road-trip at 2-1, which anybody would have taken before Brooklyn had departed for D. C. last Friday. But man 3-0 would have been sweet, and they almost had it. After defeating the Wizards and Hornets over the weekend, Brooklyn dropped a tight on in Dallas, 96-94. And it wasn’t your regular old two-point loss; Kevin Durant was at the free-throw line with a chance to tie it. But KD missed what would have been his 63rd consecutive made free throw, and Brooklyn lost a heartbreaker in the Big D. Of course, Durant’s missed free throw wasn’t the only reason for the loss. The Nets closed the first quarter with 34 points but couldn’t crack 100 for the game.

Nic Claxton and Durant in particular did an admirable job defending Luka Doncic one-on-one, while the Nets still put a lid on the rim. They largely abandoned doubling Luka after the first quarter, a risky strategy that, despite 36 points from Doncic, worked just fine. The energy, overall, on the last game of was road trip, was as good as you could ask for. It all just would’ve been easier to swallow with a win in tow. Alas, Brooklyn has a shot for redemption on Wednesday night vs. the dreaded New York Knicks.

Those satisfyingly symmetrical numbers do indeed match the eye test: The Knicks have quality talent and play decently hard, just not enough to truly separate themselves from the pack. The only real difference from previous iterations of this team under Tom Thibodeau, besides having Jalen Brunson, is that they are more likely to push the ball up the court in transition. Look for the Nets to get hot from three, back shooting in their home gym.
0 point differential. They are 16th in offense, 16th in defense, and 15th in SRS. They have played five home games and five road games. They are 1-1 in overtime. — John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) November 8, 2022 That’s right: Manhattan’s squad serves as the perfect measuring stick for Brooklyn. They are, so far, entirely average.
At a legit 6’6”, he’s got a thick frame and the touch to make any contest but a great one irrelevant. And he’s currently on a little heater from three, having made 13-30 over his last five contests. It’ll likely be Joe Harris and Royce O’Neale splitting time on him out of the gate, with Durant on Julius Randle.
Still just 22 years old, he’s averaging 20/6/3, albeit on pedestrian splits: just 29% from deep and 43% overall. And while those numbers are anchored by a putrid season opener (11 points on 3-18), you can’t simply remove one game in a sample size this small. Still, Barrett is firmly a good player, and an All-Star path isn’t out of the question. The rim pressure and subsequent high-level passing from that area of the court may never be elite, but if he gets you on that right hip it’s over.
Immanuel Quickley is ascending in this league, but may be already better than any Brooklyn guard currently playing games. Shocking as it is to say, Cameron Reddish would be a welcome addition across the Brooklyn Bridge right now. And boy oh boy, would Isaiah Hartenstein fit right in as the backup big Brooklyn could use? Instead, we’ll likely see a larger dose of Markieff Morris, given Watanabe’s injury. The bench minutes are going to be key on Wednesday. Player to Watch R. Barrett is coming on strong in his fourth season out of Duke.
