Brooklyn Nets

PREDICTED FINISH: 28th   23-59
ACTUAL FINISH       : 30th   20-62

What I got right: I was close on finish, win total, and overall assessment. I even anticipated the integral part Jeremy Lin would play with this team. But the NBA Draft offered the team very little to build upon this past year.   Lin helped the team to finish with 7 wins 12 losses.   I nailed the key statistic with team defense. The Nets finished next to last on that stat.

What I got wrong: I saw the innovative way the Nets restocked their roster and bought in a little too much on the fun. They needed Lin desperately, but only got 36 games out of him this year.   This team was far improved with Lin playing.  I simply missed his not playing.
