Undersized and undermanned, yes. But watch Josh Minott and Brooklyn’s bench lead a near comeback in their 93-92 heartbreaker Friday night at Barclays Center. And listen to Minott in the painful aftermath, and it would be clear just how much it meant. “I wanted that s–t so f–king bad,” said a visibly galled Minott, who had 22 points on a career-best 6-for-9 from deep. “Ever since we’ve been here, it’s like every game is an away game. [Friday] was just the night to really just stick it to everybody, man. As an organization, as a team, to show people that we got s–t here, yo.
“Man, just a sea of blue, a sea of orange. Every game we play, it’s a sea of the other team. And I saw it here when I was on the Celtics. But being here, it’s like, I’ve got nothing but respect for the real fans, the real Brooklyn fans. Shoutout to them, because I know it’s tough being outnumbered every single game. But I really feel like what we have here isn’t bulls–t. We have pieces here. I’ve seen it. That’s what this ‘rivalry’ meant to me.” Yes, Minott really used “air quotes” with his hands.

But Josh Minott hit a slump before suffering a severe ankle injury that sidelined him for five weeks. He lost playing time to Hugo González, Jordan Walsh and Baylor Scheierman, and with Boston facing both a roster and cap crunch, the Nets squeezed them for Minott, sending no picks or players and just the minimum cash required to make a deal official ($110,000, per sources).
