The word is out on the Nets. And the word is rebound.
Brooklyn’s Achilles’ heel has never been much of a secret, but either the Nets have done a worse job protecting it or opponents have done a better job attacking it. Or both.
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas shoots a three-point shot against Denver Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji during the second half at Barclays Center.It hasn’t happened nearly enough. Hosting Cleveland on Tuesday and Thursday, they’ll be tested against one of the league’s bigger teams.“For sure [it’s a concern]. A lot of teams send two or three guys to the glass,” Royce O’Neale said. “Just learning from those games. We’re easily capable of doing it. We have the guys to do; we just have to go after it.
“We had zero fast-break points in the first half,” Vaughn said. “So we did try to sacrifice that and bring guys back and try to hit, and if we couldn’t get out on the break then that sort of is part of it. O’Neale, Mikal Bridges, Dorian Finney-Smith and Nic Claxton are strong defenders, but the Nets have a rebounding problem they can’t solve unless they crash collectively.
