The Nets went 5-1 on their road trip and are T-1st in the East because they are not the same team that took opponents lightly last season.
“It’s almost like any given Sunday, where you could lose any night to any team no matter their record.” #Nets

Steve Nash was asked about Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander calling himself “the black Steve Nash” in a GQ article this past summer. He saw it and made him laugh. Is proud of all the young talent Canada has produced in recent years. Nash has praised Lu Dort before, too. – 5:53 PM
