29 points largest margin of victory since March 27, 2006 when the Nets beat the Suns by 38. Biggest margin the last two seasons was 21.
Nets are 10-8...that's their best start after 18 games since 2002-03 in 2007-08 - 9-9 in 2006-07 - 7-11 in 2005-06 - 9-9 in 2004-05 - 5-13 in 2003-04 - 7-11 in 2002-03 - 11-7
That just prove how bad the Wolves are. They gave up after 3 Quarters. Entire 4th Quarter was garbage time for the Nets and they still outscored the Wolves 30 to 18. I don't want to say it, but are the Nets considered a deep team?
No, it proves that the Nets didnt have a killer instinct the last two years. They played worse teams than the Wolves. It should also be noted that the margin of victory also represented the largest lead of the game in this game, in the Suns game and the Clippers game.
Does that mean the nets are playing as well as the first year they got Jason Kidd and won 52 games, or was that the year before?
I just saw another interesting fact: The nets are 5 - 1 on opening games of a back to back series this year, and they are 5 - 1 on the second game of back to backs. Thought that was interesting. Either Frank has this team really conditioned well, or he just prepares very well or both.
Younger players part of the deeper bench is a reason for the larger point differential. It's not like the Nets could bring off the bench world beaters when Kidd, Carter and RJ sat. -Petey
