Have you looked the Nets roster recently? Their record reflects the quality of their roster, which may very well be at a "half-century" low for them (which is actually saying quite a lot).
what about Devin Harris' 35? did I forget to mention Terrance Williams? If I were to double anyone it'd be Brooks. Not the rookie
It's not that bad when you come to think of it. Many players on that team are young, and none of them have experience at the leadership role. They have talent on that team, not a lot, but good enough to get 20-30 wins this season.
You double team Favors because they are going to do everything they can to pump his trade value to get Melo. They're gonna give him the ball and tell him to shoot it. He should be double teamed on the catch and forced to take tough shots. Lopez is not the focus. Favors is.
They actually have a good amount of talent. They will easily get 20-30 wins. I know that's not saying much, but they won't be as bad as they were.
