The Nets need to catch a break. Last weekend, Joe Johnson was angry and that carried into the work week when he said the team was playing "selfish." Well, after two losses out west, the Nets may get that break. Beat writers in Portland have reported that Blazers star LaMarcus Aldridge is doubtful for Saturday's game against Brooklyn, reporting that the forward has an upper respiratory illness.

Aldridge has been incredible this season, as he has been for the majority of his career, averaging nearly 22 points and eight rebounds on 45% shooting.
The Nets take on the Blazers Saturday night at 10 PM ET on the YES Network.
