“I’m a Net for life,” Kevin Durant said yesterday. “I’m always gonna say that. Always feel that. It’s gonna be in my heart, my blood, forever.”
Well, coming into tonight, it seemed like they sure could have used him. Or anyone, for that matter. The body count was high.
KD vs his old team was hardly the story ahead of game No. 19 for the Nets. It wouldn’t feel like more than a footnote after it as well. Instead, it was Brooklyn’s injury list ballooning to the size of a high school book report that had everyone talking.
