Don’t blame Brown for Nets’ mess
Interim Head Coach Had No Chance to Succeed in Lost Season
For more than two months now, Tony Brown has had to stand at the post-game podium and come up with a myriad of reasons for why the Brooklyn Nets are one of the worst teams in the NBA.
Brooklyn’s interim head coach has shouldered a lot of that blame in his press conferences, regardless of the fact that he has one remaining starter — Bojan Bogdanovic — from the unit that began this disastrous fourth season in our fair borough.
Brown was also told a few weeks ago that the franchise’s two foundation pieces, center Brook Lopez and power forward Thaddeus Young, would be shut down so as to avoid potential injury down this stretch of meaningless games.
