Following a Brooklyn Nets loss against the Miami Heat Kevin Durant said that he liked nothing about the game
In an interview following a 109-80 loss against the Miami Heat, Kevin Durant said he liked nothing about the game. He followed up by saying that although he didn’t like the game, he was happy the team finished healthy. It is a very good thing that the team finished healthy as Brooklyn have had a lot of injuries recently.
It was obvious that Durant was frustrated by the loss and wants the Brooklyn Nets to start playing better. He further elaborated by saying that the team needs to be more consistent in their play and form. He concludes by saying the team will have good stretches and bad stretches and that it is normal in preseason.
The success of this Kevin Durant Nets team will largely depend on Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. In addition to them, Seth Curry, Joe Harris and Nicolas Claxton will be important pieces as well. It’ll interesting to see how the Nets start the regular season and the chemistry they develop by then.
If the Brooklyn Nets do not start the season well, there’s a high chance that Kevin Durant requests a trade. Durant doesn’t seem to be confident in the Nets plans this season and it’ll get worse if they start badly. In addition to that, Durant isn’t getting any younger and wants to win a championship now.
Let’s say the Nets play well this season and make a run in the playoffs. Durant may still ask for a trade next season if the Brooklyn Nets fail to keep Kyrie in Free Agency. That would be a disaster for the Nets because they’d lose both their star players.
