The Brooklyn Nets are coming into the season with championship expectations after bringing over Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and with the team off to a slow start, they will play on Friday night against a surprising Phoenix Suns team that has started off with five wins in eight games and they are playing at the US Airways Center for a game starting up at 9:00 PM.
The Nets are coming in after a loss on the road against the Sacramento Kings and that game was a bad one by 21 points and now they will continue their western conference swing with a game against a team that has been one of the most surprising in the NBA, as they were one of the bottom feeders last year and now they have gotten off to a nice start. The Nets lost the game against the Kings despite 16 points from Brook Lopez, while Pierce led the team in rebounds with nine and Deron Williams had seven assists on the night in the defeat. The team next plays the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center at 10:30 on Saturday and that should be an interesting game, as the new stars in Garnett and Pierce will matchup against their old coach with Doc Rivers.
