No panic. The 17 games for the Nets to make the playoffs starts against Charlotte

There are 17 games left in the regular season and this is a critical stretch for the Nets. Currently sitting in 9th in the East, they basically have to make hay over the last month-plus to ensure a high probability of making the playoffs. It starts with Tuesday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets who they are battling for seeding right now. Winning this one would help in the tiebreakers (if needed) at the end of the season. The Locked on Nets guys break down when this end-of-season stretch looks like for the Nets and how the schedule breaks down.  And then they look at the play of Bruce Brown of late and how he’s been able to expand his game even more, becoming a key component in what the Nets are trying to do. His stats have been fantastic and he’s even shot the three well which bodes well for his long-term prospects.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
