I don't mean any harm, but the Nets are a little overhyped. Yes the team has D-Will, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, and Brook Lopez. The Nets also have Kim Kardashian's ex husband Kris Humphries (who's a 10 and 10 guy). A boisterous Russian owner Mikhail Prokohov and New York royalty Jay-Z also are apart of this new franchise. The Barclays Center, which Jay-Z rocked recently, is a beautiful stadium. The team possesses a former Coach Of The Year in Avery Johnson, who is more than capable of coaching a championship contender. With all of these pros and seemingly no cons, there is one problem. The Brooklyn Nets HAVE NOT PLAYED A NBA GAME (I'm not counting the preseason games). In 2011 the Miami Heat were in the same situation, overhyped and unproven. Through their first 17 games the Heat were a dissapointing 9-8. However they turned it around by having the second best record in the Eastern conference. Another thing the Nets must develop is chemistry. Miami had chemistry issues early on, but patched them up as the season progressed. The Nets look good on paper, but let's see how they look after maybe 25-30 games in the regular season. Nuff said. P.S.- I don't feel that they should have their own "The Association" special on NBA TV. In my eyes they haven't earned it.
