MILWAUKEE — The Nets might not be at the same level of concern as their fans, but they’re getting there. Or they damn well should be.
Kevin Durant is still working back to his return from a knee injury and Ben Simmons is working toward his Nets debut, but the remaining schedule is shrinking and taking the margin for error with it.
“Alert level is high, because it’s only 22 games left if I’m not mistaken,” newcomer Goran Dragic admitted before making his Nets debut Saturday night against the Bucks. “We’re at that point of the season that you have a lot of new guys. You try to bring those guys in and try to create that chemistry, team chemistry.
“A lot of guys are injured, too. So when we get everybody back, it’s going to be much easier. But no excuses, we have to play well with the guys that we have right now, [against Milwaukee], and try to get this win.”
Wins have been hard to come by…
