The Brooklyn Nets have gotten off to a disappointing 10-14 start and are on a downward trend coming off a second straight loss, most recently falling to the Toronto Raptors.
The Nets have had their share of struggles with injuries, but the problems have mainly come on the court.
Whether it's controlling tempo, scoring, defending or staying consistent throughout games, Brooklyn hasn't done enough to return to the state it was in during the final 51 games of last season, when it went 34-17.
A year older could mean a year wiser. It could also mean a year less physically supple.
Brooklyn will play in Cleveland on Friday night, a game which could drop the Nets five below .500, but it has a nice five-game stretch to follow which could cushion the record a bit.
The Nets probably won't get out of December over .500, but if they concentrate on the numbers which have plagued them through 24 games, they have a chance to improve.
