The Nets five-game road trip is filled with all sorts of good news, bad news calculations.
- Good news: Kyrie Irving can play five straight games. Bad news: he has to play them vs. the Warriors, Suns, Jazz, Kings and Nuggets, all but one of whom think they can contend for a title.
- Good news: the Nets young players played a solid game vs. the Warriors. Bad news: the vets are being savaged by injury, with Kevin Durant and Joe Harris out indefinitely, James Harden missing two straight games with hamstring and hand issues, and LaMarcus Aldridge leaving the arena Saturday on crutches after an ankle sprain.
