Nets' Johnson on how team can improve: 'I have no idea'
Following the Brooklyn Nets' blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, shooting guard Joe Johnson seemed rather despondent regarding his team's lackluster play.
Joe Johnson on how #Nets can turn this thing around: "I have no idea."

The Nets jumped out to a 4-2 record to start the season, but have won just two games against seven losses in the nine contests thereafter. Their two wins have come against the (then) depleted Oklahoma City Thunder, and a winless Philadelphia Sixers squad.
Luckily, the Nets play in the Eastern Conference, so their abysmal record of 6-9 has them tied for the eighth seed with the Indiana Pacers. However, the Nets' struggles this season have shown in more ways than just their dismal record. New head coach Lionel Hollins has repeatedly clashed with players, including Andrei Kirlenko, Brook Lopez and even Johnson himself (see below).
Unfortunately, the Nets' schedule forebodes even more struggles in the near future, as the team is set to face the San Antonio Spurs, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Bulls twice in their next six contests.
