The Nets lost 109-121 at home to the Bucks, suffering a five-game losing streak at home, while losing twice against the Bucks this season. Compared to the more decent point difference of 12 points, the whole process of the game is humiliating. The Nets played lifelessly throughout the game, completely suppressed by opponents, once trailing by 24 points in the third quarter, the game almost early into garbage time, and the Bucks' total of 6 main rotation players were absent, which may be an important reason why the Nets should be criticized.
In the past 5 games, the Nets have only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses, in addition to relying on Irving's fourth quarter of the outbreak to achieve a thrilling victory on the road, the other 4 home games, the team has suffered 4 consecutive losses, successively lost to Philadelphia, Clippers, Grizzlies and this buck, and the championship favorites are getting farther and farther away. In addition to Durant's normal state, the other main players are almost not in the state, and Nash has not been able to find any effective way in tactics, and can only rely on the personal state of the stars, but unfortunately, Harden is in bad shape, and Mills is no longer magical.
Bobby Marks angrily denounced the Nets' offensive pace during the game for being too slow, and pointed the finger at Harden: When Harden played point guard, the Nets' offensive speed was like a snail. If you notice, they need 15-16 seconds to hold the ball each time, because Harden takes a full 8 seconds to get past halftime.
Harden's slow pace obviously also brought the Nets' offense to a standstill, but Nash did not make any adjustments, continued to let Harden play on the court, until finally there was no way, only to give the ball to Durant to end. And Durant as a father and a mother, 10 of 19 shots, contributed 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, played 37 minutes, if not the game has completely lost hope, I am afraid that this Durant will play more than 40 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, a Lakers fan commented on the net's official tweet and ridiculed: The Cavaliers are better than you!
Indeed, according to the state of the Nets in the past few games, they are indeed inferior to the Cavaliers, and even a bit like the Lakers before the 3-game winning streak, although the team has two giants, but it has repeatedly lost, which is extremely disappointing. Obviously, the Lakers fan laughed at the Nets, in fact, it is also 50 steps to laugh at 100 steps, because although the Lakers have won 3 consecutive wins, their problems are still not solved, and there is still a long way to go before they become the favorite for the championship.
Originally, the Lakers and the Nets were considered to be the favorites for the championship this season and were expected to meet in the Finals, but after the start of the season, although the Nets were weak and afraid of hard, they once occupied the top position in the Eastern Conference for a long time with their stable performance in the face of weak teams, while the Lakers struggled early and hovered on the edge of the playoffs. Despite James' performance, and despite the fact that he also has the giant Westbrook around him, no matter how well James performs, the other teammates have not been able to provide enough help. Today, Durant seems to be experiencing James' pain, and despite having Harden around him, the help he has received is still limited.
