Things couldn’t be going any smoother for Brooklyn Nets. One can confuse their lineup for the one that takes part in an NBA All-Star game. However, they are currently taking to the court without Kevin Durant, who they need fit and firing on all cylinders in the playoffs.

The NBA regular season is something that won’t occupy the front and center of Steve Nash’s mind right now. Courtesy of James Harden, they are cruising right now and it looks like a matter of time before they dethrone the Sixers from the top of the standings in the East.

The playoffs are the Nets’ priority right now. But to prepare for them, Kevin Durant needs to get some game time under his belt. And more importantly, he needs to get used to playing seven games in twelve days, but Nash is optimistic that he can shrug off his injury concerns.

“We still have quite a lot of the season left, there’s still plenty of games to play. So, whenever he does come back, we’ll do the best we can to do that,” said Nash. “I think the situation is we can only control what we can control. So, there may not be a magic pill for all scenarios. I think the other teams are facing very similar problems. It has been that type of season. So, we just focus on ourselves and control what we can control.”

‘Will need to reincorporate Kevin Durant’ – Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash

Since the last time Durant played before the All-Star break, the Nets have added Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge into their rotation. So KD needs to acclimatize himself to playing with them once he gets back. Nash has his work cut out in making sure KD aces that aspect, and he said:

“When he does come back, we’ll be thrilled and we’ll just take off from there and try to reincorporate him and the group to him. And make sure we prepare for whatever amount of time that is heading into the playoffs.”
