Game 17 - Nets vs. Bobcats - Sunday, January 22, 6:00 p.m.
Think of the season thus far this way and you may feel better: After a miserable start with two rotation players requiring foot surgery and a third not far off, the Nets are two games out of the playoffs, thanks in part to woeful starts by teams some (not us) thought could be championship contender, the Celtics and the Knicks.
