Brooklyn Net player Kelvin Durant stated that Brooklyn is not losing confidence amid a 1-2 start and has enough to win without Kyrie Irving.
Kevin Durant and James Harden were the only two Nets players to score in double figures Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets,
Durant, who poured in 38 points in the 111-95 loss, was asked twice if he thinks the Nets have enough to win without their starting point guard, especially when things get tough in games.
“While we are playing in a game, I am not going to sit there and say … when we get down or it is a tight game, like ‘Damn, we don’t have enough,'” Durant said.
“We are not going to be thinking about [that] during the game. We definitely want Kyrie Irving out here on the floor. And he is a huge part of what we do. But it is not happening right now. So we got to figure it out.
“But no one is going to lose confidence while we playing and hope Kyrie comes to save us during the game. No, we got to play. Everybody here is confident in what they do. We just got to play.”
