The Nets' starting unit in the first two pre-season games has shot .423, while outscoring opposing starters, 117-94. By Nets standards, that's cause for canonization.
So why are the Nets 0-2?

That's because the bench has shot a spiffy .319 (23-of-72) while being outscoring by opposing subs, 87-52. The basic problem for the reserves is inexperience: three rookies usually join veterans Lucious Harris and Aaron Williams.
