I’m not living with this result because the effort is not there and the defense is not there.” Yes, the Brooklyn Nets are tanking this season — and for good reason — but the product after six games felt far more miserable than your average tank-fest.

The Nets come into this game following a 117-112 loss to the Atlanta Hawks despite the fact that Hawks guard Trae Young was knocked out of the game due to a knee injury. Forward Michael Porter Jr. led the way for the Nets to the tune of 32 points and nine rebounds while guard Cam Thomas put up 19 and three assists in what was a struggle for him to get open as he finished the contest shooting 6-of-20 from the field.
