At this point, it feels like the Brooklyn Nets are a sinking ship.

For the first few weeks of the 2022-23 NBA season, it really looked like the Brooklyn Nets were the NBA equivalent of a failed state.

The crosstown New York Knicks-Brooklyn Nets “rivalry” has not lived up to that billing as of late.
