Tier One Spotlight: Brooklyn Nets

"​This team has lasted longer than I thought, and greatly outperformed my expectations.  Their offensive fire power is unparalleled in the league, and this is them without KD.  However, it is important to note this team does have flaws. They are currently ranked 25th defensively."
