They don't have a chance of beating teams with defense in the playoffs. Their only hope is to try to outscore you. Thornton put up 42 on the Pacers this season. And losing Evans is addition by subtraction.

They dont have a chance at beating anyone in the playoffs regardless. He also had 42 points the last 6 games in 187 minutes going 15-46 from the field, collecting 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and zero blocks. Thats close to the equivalent of four full games.
I get that Terry has been terrible and Evans does nothing but Marcus Thornton has been a bad, far below average player this year. The only reason that the Nets are getting a pass for taking on a guy like this is that they are the only team that contracts just dont matter and he can be dumped next season's trade dealine as an expiring contract.
If Marcus Thornton represents even a sliver of hope for Nets fans they are even further beaten down than Knicks fans.
