'They take us for granted,' Kevin Durant recently told Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill, referring to what seemed like precious little attention being paid to his Nets starting to play their best ball of the season. 'Me and [Kyrie Irving] especially. We gotta jump through a Hula Hoop of fire [for people] to be impressed.'
— and as well as the Nets have functioned as a defensive unit, it's reasonable to wonder how well they'll hold up in a seven-game series against the kind of world-breaking big or pair of ace wings they might have to face in the playoffs.
Focus too hard on those questions, though, and you risk missing the answer at the heart of this entire Nets enterprise.is why you risk sacrificing your underdog culture for the high-end talent in the first place, why you ride out whatever maelstroms might come with it, why you don't accede to trade demands, why you grit your teeth through whatever fresh hell crops up on social media and in the scrum — because, through all the static, you see a team that can win the championship.
