New on SI: Despite the Absence of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving the Brooklyn Nets are still Vying for a Spot in the Playoffs

The belief at the beginning of this NBA season was the Brooklyn Nets true season would be 200-2021 when Kevin Durant was fully healthy. The goal for this season was to discover the rotation in the backcourt with Kyrie Irving now now added to the mix of Caris LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie. With Irving now out for the year with injury, that plan has seemingly changed. SI’s Chris Mannix breaks down the Nets season and believes after everything they find themselves in a similar position that they were in last season.
