The standings said Tuesday night’s game against the Pistons should have been a blowout, and even a cursory knowledge of the NBA right now would support that theory.
But, if there’s one thing that the Nets have learned so far this season, is that there really isn’t any such thing as “should have.” Not with the injuries and challenges they’ve faced, and not even against one of the worst teams in the league.
In fact, the only real certainty they’ve had this year is this: Kevin Durant will be Kevin Durant, and as long as that’s true, they have a chance against anyone. Tuesday, they needed every bit of that to beat a team that should have caused far less trouble.
