Things can still go wrong, Brooklyn.
There could be injuries. Kevin Durant is just 18 months removed from an Achilles tear, what used to be the closest thing to a basketball death sentence. Kyrie Irving has struggled to stay healthy. Losing either one would drop the Nets out of contention.
There could be chemistry issues. Sure Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen are fine with reduced roles. For now. But so were the ’18–19 Celtics, at least at first. A lack of touches were one of several reasons that team unraveled.
Coaching could be a problem.
