Summary
No NBA team has experienced more ups and downs this season than the Brooklyn Nets. The one-time favorites have gone from first place in the East to eighth, and have seen plenty of drama -- on and off the court -- along the way. Now, after a signature win over the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, followed by a spectacular defeat by the Toronto Raptors on Monday, plenty of concerns remain around the squad. The Athletic’s Alex Schiffer joins us to break down the three biggest questions facing the Nets' three biggest stars -- but why there's also reason for optimism.
