ANALYSIS: Desperate times call for desperate measures. At this point, as long as they believe he's physically ready, the Nets are truly going for the hail mary. Although one can't help but ask if they would bring back Simmons if they were up in this series. At this point, the Nets have to exhaust every single option to stay alive in these playoffs.
