The Nets are really screwing around with Bojan “Bojangles” Bogdanovic. He got consistent minutes at the beginning of the season, but for a few games before this one he was barely seeing the court. There was even one game where his butt never ceased contact with the bench.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the Nets’ 6-of-7 streak matched up eerily with the games where Bojangles was only getting ten minutes. Actually, I do think it’s a coincidence, because then the Nets lost a bunch with Bojangles still not getting any time.
Good teams rarely, if ever, experiment so erratically with their lineups. The Nets, however, are not a good team, and in their desperation, they’re willing to trot out any random starting lineup just to see if it will succeed. It’s only a matter of time before Darius Morris gets forty minutes and gives us a highlight-worthy performance.
