The Brooklyn Nets suffered a disappointing loss to the undermanned Memphis Grizzlies, further jeopardizing their chances of making the play-in spot. Despite the Grizzlies missing nine players, the Nets lacked aggressiveness and are now 2 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the last play-in spot. The Nets are facing a challenging road ahead with a 6-game road trip and 10 of the next 11 games away from home.
With the Hawks' win over the Knicks, the Nets are still 2 1/2 games back. Now comes a tough stretch: 6-game road trip, 10 of next 11 games on the road (although one of them is at MSG vs the Knicks). The roadie starts with Detroit and Charlotte
"This is our fourth quarter of our season." If the Nets hope to extend their season beyond April 14, they have to take down as many vulnerable teams as possible down the stretch, as they did Tuesday night. https://t.co/IMbkX4ZsFg… https://t.co/zIug6MCbMf
More from Ollie "This is our 4th quarter of our season so we have to challenge each other. We can't let no game slip and we got to take care of business." #Nets
If a soul-crushing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies wasn’t enough, the Nets are now dealing with injuries during their most important stretch of the season. @CjHolmes22 https://t.co/mmKknUWjC2
The Nets had another baffling loss to another bottom-feeding team. Trail Blazers, Hornets, Wizards....and now a Grizzlies team down nine players. 2 1/2 games behind the Hawks for that last play-in spot. https://t.co/HwpbiaSzFy

Losing at home to that Grizzlies available roster tonight should automatically disqualify Brooklyn from playoffs.
