For those fans relieved that the Nets’ five-game road trip from hell is finally over after Brooklyn fell apart in the second half of Sunday’s 124-104 defeat at Denver, understand that there will be at least two more weeks of pain. The Nets (29-24), losers of eight straight and 15 of their last 21 games, have six more games before the All-Star break, presumably all of them without injured superstar forward Kevin Durant and all but two without unvaccinated Kyrie Irving, who is not allowed to suit up for events within New York City limits. As for the third member of Brooklyn’s Big 3—James Harden, who sat out a second consecutive game with “left hamstring tightness” (or maybe trade bait?)—who knows?
