Don’t ask us. Ask Kyrie Irving about the importance of the next 13 days.
Irving described the Nets’ upcoming seven-game homestand “essential for our season” after Friday’s loss to the Pacers in Indiana. “It’s not a hard basketball game for us. We have the talent offensively, but defensively and offensive boards, they’re still going to be something we bring up day-to-day.”
Brooklyn opens that homestand at 3:00 p.m. ET Sunday and after their spotty record on the road in recent weeks, Barclays will look good. And despite everything, the Nets are selling out their home arena, filling up 99.
