Kevin Durant strongly believes that the entire NBA community is keen on witnessing his team, the Brooklyn Nets, fail. Having said that, this very same community is aware the Nets’ roster can be lethal. Even Shaquille O’Neal agrees with this narrative. However, he is also aware of what could happen if their lethal energy is not activated soon. Recently, on ‘Inside the NBA’, Shaq spoke about Durant’s team while issuing them with a warning.

With the likes of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons, the Nets were one of the favorites to win the championship at the start of the season. However, chaos has consumed them. Their performances have been disappointing for fans and the off-court controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving recently has left many in disarray. To add to their misery, they are currently placed 10th on the Eastern Conference table with an 8-10 record so far this season. While they still do have a chance to enter the playoffs, winning a championship from here would require their fortunes to turn dramatically.

He believes that the Nets still have a chance to get their affairs intact. The four-time NBA champion spoke about how talented the team is.

“Kevin Durant Is a Future Thunder”: Brooklyn Nets Make Huge Ouster Decision, NBA World in Manic Mode

He said that if the likes of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons find a synchronized rhythm and get going, then they can be dangerous. Shaquille O’Neal called for the Nets to embrace the championship mentality. Shaq added, “Beat the teams you are supposed to beat. Be above .500 on the road, and be dominant and unstoppable at home.” 

The NBA legend also mentioned that despite having time on their side, he doesn’t see the Nets winning a championship this year.

The Brooklyn Nets’ season so far

After a shaky start, the Brooklyn Nets have shown glimpses of better gameplay. In the game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Kevin Durant bagged 20 points and Kyrie Irving scored 23 points. The new Nets’ head coach, Jacque Vaughn, highlighted that Ben Simmons looked more aggressive on the court. However, this wasn’t enough for the Nets to grab a win. They lost to the Philadelphia 76ers 115-106 in the end.

Post-game, Kevin Durant was asked about how the Nets could fix their gameplay.

He said, “Just go do it, just go do what we need to do.”  With this in mind, the Brooklyn Nets face the Charlotte Hornets next.
