The Basketball Gods have given the Nets endless layups with their schedule over the last month:
Just played the Wizards without two starters (Beal and Monte) and Porzingis exited the game with an injury
Played the Hawks without Dejounte and Collins
Played the lottery-bound Hornets x2
Played the lottery-bound Magic
Played the lottery-bound Wizards x3
Played the 76ers without Embiid, Maxey and Harden
Played the Grizzlies without Ja, Bane and JJJ
Played the Clippers without Kawhi
Played the Raptors without FVV and Siakam.
They've only had about 3-4 wins over that period against good-healthy teams.
