Tim Capstraw said that the Nets need to fight back.  What the Heir walks away with is that means that any team coming into Brooklyn has to feel like they're walking into the lion's den.  Nets need to command fear in the other team.  Right now 93% of the entire NBA are at least privately thinking to themselves, well we're going to Brooklyn and so we expect to pick up a game there because we see it as a formality.  What the Heir thinks should be the highest priority in Brooklyn is to set specific goals.  Even if they can't immediately plug up a sucky third quarter, they can do something like coming all the way back in the fourth quarter and tying it at the buzzer, forcing it to overtime and winning an otherwise losing game by 2-3 points, inspiring a look of dismay on Sacramento's coach's face when he sees the cowbells won't be playing for him.  Nets haven't forced an overtime yet this season.  More suggestions.  Dominate over 50% of your games with a consistent lead of at least 20 points, and occasionally 50 points making it out of the sports section and into the regular headlines and the history books.  Do so at home at least 80% of the time.  Don't settle just for wins against Utah and Milwaukee.  Lose no more than 20% of your games, and even then only close, basically an occasional sympathetic gimme and not a reflection on your part.  Find different ways of being very unbrooklyn-in-2013-like to the point where Nets become the first topic of discussion when someone asks, hey how about that NBA, not Miami.  With their backs up against the wall, these suggestions would be good starters for the Nets, the Heir says.  Oh, and one other thing he also said.  Fire Jason Kidd.
