If Kenneth Faried, Chris Paul, James Harden, Clint Capela and the rest of the Rockets make it all the way to the NBA Finals and knock off whoever comes out of the East, they should cast an extra championship ring for Nets general manager Sean Marks. Marks, who has done a fantastic job making the Brooklyn Nets relevant again and restocking the draft pick cupboard, now has a team that is in danger of missing the playoffs. Going into Saturday's game against the NBA-leading Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn had dropped into a tie with Detroit for seventh place in the East at 39-40.
Jusuf Nurkic suffered a gruesome compound leg fracture late Monday night in the Trail Blazers' double-overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets, and injury that had Nets players walking away in shock before Nurkic was wheeled off on a stretcher.
