The Nets best chance for playoffs is to rest Kevin Durant the last four games Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

The Nets come into a new week fresh off the disappointment of losing to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. With Kevin Durant going for a career high 55 points this felt symbolic of the Brooklyn Nets season - highlight moments overshadowed by bad luck breaks. With the 10th seed secured, Adam discusses the risk reward of going all out in the last four games, and if resting Kevin Durant should be on the table. Beyond the loss, there were also post game threads to pull that seem to indicate the Nets superstar and head coachSteve Nash see things thee same way. Yes, this team has struggled to be healthy and on the court, but there is no excuse for lack of effort and sloppy defensive sequences. Adam also updates the comedic coverage of Ben Simmons and his all but mysterious timeline to return and the Locked On Nets theme remains ever strong: no one knows anything until the Nets third star steps on to the court.

The hype and excitement of Kyrie Irving's return to Barclay's fell apart at the hands of the Charlotte Hornets.
