Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernández spoke about the Oklahoma City Thunder's successful rebuild following his team's Sunday night loss to the latter, and what he is looking for from the Nets as they begin their own process.
The Oklahoma City Thunder took its seventh loss of the season to the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night, leaving the team at a 34-7 record heading into Sunday nig
The Nets got a look at the team they hope to be one day during Sunday's blowout loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
Brooklyn had an issue playing against Oklahoma City's pace and offensive firepower, especially Shai Gilgeous-Alexander going off for 27 points, 10 rebounds, and four steals in just 29 minutes. Here are three Nets takeaways from Sunday's loss at the Thunder:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 27 points and 10 assists in three quarters, and the Oklahoma City Thunder blew out the Brooklyn Nets 127-101.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has led the way for the Thunder this season as he has put himself in the MVP race once again. While Shai has been dominant, so has the rest of Oklahoma City’s roster as the Thunder are currently one of the NBA’s best offensive and defensive teams.
The 127-101 beating the Nets took from the Thunder at Paycom Center — and the way OKC has run through the entire league — is a scary reminder of just how well-poised Sunday’s foe is to dominate the NBA both today and tomorrow.
A recent report revealed that the Oklahoma City Thunder may have to give up their injured rookie to acquire Cameron Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets via trade.
The Brooklyn Nets are officially tanking, and they are not even trying to hide it. They have lost six games in a row, they are 1-11 in their last 12, and they can’t even play motivated enough to win on Vince Carter’s retirement night.
Amid their 3-point shooting woes, the Orlando Magic are reportedly a dark horse to add Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson to their Paolo Banchero-led core.
Bradley Beal may move back into the starting lineup, and the Hawks will begin Week 14 without Jalen Johnson and Trae Young.
