Nets (93) @ Thunder (114)

This was a beat down of the highest order. The only time I can honestly say that the Nets were playing on par with the Thunder was during the second half of the first quarter.

Avery Johnson said Ben Uzoh was the Nets' "only bright spot" in a blowout loss to the Thunder. The 6'3" third string point guard was playing in the state where he starred for four years at the University of Tulsa. Playing most of the fourth quarter, Uzoh scored six points, handed out five assists and grabbed three rebounds.

All the links you could possibly need pertaining to the game in order to whet your appetite for the upcoming recap.

The Nets got maybe their best win of the season eight days ago in Memphis, but they've been pretty terrible since then. And on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, they suffered their third straight double-digit defeat.

Stephen Graham was the last player to join the Nets this summer, barely a week before training camp. He didn't even sign a fully guaranteed deal, but what he did get was a call from Avery Johnson promising an challenging role...that of defensive stopper.

So, with Monday's embarrassing loss, the Thunder have to take things one game at a time again, and the road back to the Western Conference elite begins with New Jersey. But, there is good news.

The last time these two teams met was an instant classic, a triple overtime thriller without either Kevin Durant or Devin Harris. The Thunder won, with Russell Westbrook going for 38, 15 and 9 and Jeff Green getting one less point to go with five rebounds and four assists. The Nets' Brook Lopez and Jordan Farmer finished with 28, Farmar's career high.
