The Nets and Warriors have not performed well overall in recent days, giving up the top spot because of poor results. This season, the Nets and Warriors are both aimed at championships, and they were once the best performing teams in the East and West, but unfortunately, the recent return of the core and the increase in injuries have made their records fluctuate, which can be called the same disease.
both fell to second;
The Warriors' current record is 30 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the West, one win difference behind the Suns at the top of the table. The Nets are 25-14, 2.5 wins behind the first-place Bulls. What both teams have in common is that they were at the top of the table for a long time, but both have been overtaken by their main opponents and slipped to the second place.
4 wins 1 win + 7 wins 2 wins;
Recently, the Warriors' record is 4 wins and 1 win, the Nets are 7 wins and 2 wins, it is worth mentioning that in the previous period, only 2 teams in the league have not suffered a losing streak this season, that is, the Nets and the Warriors, and their recent bad performances have appeared in a row, so the league has no team that has never been defeated in a row.
The Warriors won 4-1 and then lost to Morante's Grizzlies today, and this season such an impactful and dynamic team as the Grizzlies has become the Warriors' bitter owner. The Nets have struggled recently, with them struggling to play against strong teams, losing repeatedly and underperforming.
Core returns are defeated;
Both teams have recently returned to the core, and Irving can return to play in the Nets' away games, but because he is not vaccinated, he cannot play in the home game in New York. After his comeback, Irving's overall performance was still very good, and he also led the team to beat the Pacers.
Klay on the Warriors' side, who returned after 941 days of injury, performed well, unlike Irving, who did not participate in home games, Klay temporarily did not participate in back-to-back. It is worth mentioning that after the comeback of the two cores, they both suffered defeats, of which Irving's Nets lost to the Blazers, and Klay's Warriors lost to the Grizzlies, and the two top stars can be said to be the same disease.
The General was injured;
Both the Warriors and the Nets currently have big players injured, and Dream Green was injured during a warm-up game in Klay's comeback. The Nets' Harden missed the game against the Blazers due to injury. The importance of Harden and Dream Green to the Nets and Warriors is self-evident, and in their absences, the team has also suffered defeats.
All have long-term injuries;
The two teams also have in common, that is, there are long-term absent generals on the team, the Nets are Ade and Joe Ha, and the Warriors are Wiseman. Joha's injury has been around for a long time and he can come back this season. Wiseman of the Warriors, some time ago his high school jersey retirement ceremony, the Warriors attended the whole team, he is also trying to recover.
