The Brooklyn Nets are the most stacked team in the NBA and itâs not even close. But thatâs assuming everybodyâs healthy and cleared to play, which has rarely been the case since they signed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Landing Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, and Seth Curry was huge for Sean Marksâ project. They continue to gather talent at an alarming rate, putting together a video game-kind of roster.
But even despite all the firepower, the Nets canât seem to reflect their superiority on the floor. Theyâre going through quite a negative stretch and would be a play-in team if the season ended today. Thatâs why KD wanted to address the fans and voice his frustration.
Kevin Durant Reacts To The Netsâ Never-Ending Struggles
âI just expect us to officially get out team together, get everybody healthy and find their rhythm,â Durant said after the game. âLet it just fall where it may. Like I said we went through a tough stretch. [Myself] being out a month and a half, not being able to play. Our team has seen some changes. This is a situation where itâs only going to build our character and the organization only going to make us better as individual players and as a team.â
âI know a lot of fans that are watching us had high expectations for us coming into the season and expected us to run away with the championship,â Durant added.âBut if youâre a fan and you appreciate Nets basketball and what weâre trying to build and youâll follow us along this journey thatâs about to come up. You never know what may happen. You never know what may come from this from each player and who may get better from this. But for sure itâs going to make us into better people.â
Thereâs no denying that the Nets will still be the team to beat in the playoffs, assuming theyâre healthy. But the clock is ticking and they need to develop some chemistry to fulfill their potential, or else theyâll be yet another stacked and disappointing team.
