From Title contender team to 1st round elimination in the 2022 playoffs, Kevin Durant and Brooklyn Nets experienced the best and worst in the same season. The multiple-time NBA Champion and finals MVP KD couldn’t save his team this time around, even after giving his all. Also, one of the gifted ball-handler and explosive point guard Kyrie Irving, who was part of the historic Cleveland team overturning 1-3 deficits in the 2016 finals, was ineffective against his former franchise Boston Celtics after Game 1.

As a result of which the Brooklyn Nets were eliminated in a humiliating fashion and plethora of fans took the opportunity to rub salt on their wound.

With the “unceremonious” elimination, the Nets will have many unanswered questions, starting from team-building again to Kyrie’s contract situation. But first, they will have to face fans who had huge expectations from an offensively loaded team.

This season, the experienced team was taunted to win it all and bring 1st NBA title to Brooklyn, but bad chemistry, poor defensive show, and Celtics’ possession by possession dominance sent the Nets team packing. Now Nets became the 1st swept aside team in the 2022 postseason, and will join the other 14 teams to prepare for next season. Many fans took Twitter to mock them at the time of misery.
