The Nets, who traded for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett this summer, haven't found their rhythm in the young NBA season but Pierce thinks the team can find the winning track.
Nets, 2-4, not panicking says Paul Pierce
Brooklyn need to put aside its sluggish start before this week’s three game road swing

"We're not panicking," Pierce told reporters Saturday night after a 96-91 loss against the Pacers.
The loss was the Nets' second in a row and the second of its first back-to-back of the season. On Friday, Brooklyn lost in overtime to the Washington Wizards.
Their might not have been a worst team for Brooklyn to try to regain its footing against. The Pacers came into Brooklyn as the NBA’s only remaining undefeated team and was surrendering just 87.5 points per 100 possessions.
Brooklyn dropped its first game of the season on the road against the Cavaliers before bouncing back with a big home win against the defending champion Miami Heat. The Nets then split a pair against the Magic and the Jazz before Friday night's overtime loss against the Wizards and Saturday's defeat against the Pacers.
Brooklyn’s offense is ranked just 21st in the NBA and its defense is 15th, according to Basketball-Reference.
