But plenty of strong squads suffer heartbreak the year their core is assembled, only to use that as fuel for a championship run the next. Predictably, that will be the Nets\u2019 mindset with their offseason starting earlier than expected.<\/p>\n<p>It has to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely.

They were a plus-64 in the playoffs, but injuries conspired to keep them from being at their best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tough; really tough. We were so close to advancing,\u201d Nash said. \u201cIt didn\u2019t go our way this time. But we\u2019ll take some of this with us, and it\u2019ll make us stronger and we\u2019ll approach that next season with this in our toolbox and it\u2019ll grow our character and resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, they were tantalizingly close in a series of what ifs.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets could\u2019ve been facing Atlanta in the Eastern Conference Finals if Joe Harris had hit just one more 3-pointer in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s 3 or 7. Or if Durant\u2019s toe hadn\u2019t touched the line on his long last-second 2 to send Game 7 into OT, instead of a 3 to send them to the next round. He wears a size 17 shoe, but dons an 18 for games.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how close. And the Nets know it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hurts. It should hurt,\u201d GM Sean Marks said. \u201cBut life moves on. Nobody\u2019s feeling sorry for the Nets, and we\u2019re not feeling sorry for ourselves. That\u2019s pro sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marks has to take the more analytical bird\u2019s-eye view. He has to be busy with the draft and free agency, trying to extend the contracts of the Big 3 and put the right pieces around them with nine free agents on this roster.<\/p>\n<p>Those decisions are best made dispassionately, not in the heat of the moment. And after a Game 7 loss suffered with gut-wrenching injuries, the moment is still very hot.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Marks insists the early exit was more a disappointment than a failure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t look at it as failure. I think the term \u2018failure\u2019 can be used in a completely different array of circumstances far more serious than what we went through. Is it disappointment? Yes. Without a doubt,\u201d Marks said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to own it, we\u2019re going to grow from it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" alt=\"James Harden, Kevin Durant and in injured Kyrie Irving will have to wait until next year to try to win a title with the Nets.\" class=\"wp-image-18580678 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/James-Harden-4-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/James-Harden-4-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/James-Harden-4-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/James-Harden-4-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/James-Harden-4-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1867 1867w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>James Harden, Kevin Durant and in injured Kyrie Irving will have to wait until next year to try to win a title with the Nets. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">N.Y.
