The Locked on Nets guys are back for another episode, this time talking more in-depth about James Harden’s early-season struggles on offense. They reference a great piece by Nekias Duncan from Basketball News which breaks down a myriad of reasons why Harden is struggling to get to the free-throw line this year. It follows along with some of the discussion the guys had the episode prior about Harden’s struggles this year.

Then they talk about some of the role player contributions, or lack thereof from the Nets’ non-superstars. They discuss some early season net rating stats along with best and worst lineup combinations.

The Brooklyn Nets get a relatively easy win over the Washington Wizards on Monday, the second half of a back-to-back following the loss to the Hornets on Sunday. It was, once again, all about Kevin Durant in this one with the Nets’ superstar already in MVP form this season. He carried Brooklyn once again, making up for a relatively poor shooting performance from the team across the board. Adam Armbrecht and Doug Norrie talk about what Durant has already done this season and why he is putting himself near the top of the MVP discussion even only a few games in. 

They also talk about the continued struggles for James Harden who is clearly still working his way back from injury in the offseason. All of this and more on a packed podcast.

Following an awesome come-from-behind victory on Friday over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Nets struggled to maintain their lead against the Hornets and ultimately let a very bad 4th quarter do them in. They lost 111-95 in what amounted to another sloppy game from Brooklyn. Kevin Durant was masterful again, dropping 38 points. But the rest of the team shot just 33% behind him and as a squad, they committed 17 turnovers. The Hornets have been feisty, but this was a rough loss for the Nets. Doug Norrie discusses some of the issues, including the play of James Harden this early in the season and the different rotations the team has run.

On paper, Kevin Durant and James Harden had strong games with the latter dropping 32 points and the latter nearly hitting a triple-double.

There is a lot to break down from this first game including things that can be improved on this coming season for the Nets.
