【Team Situation】
Although the bulls and heat in the top two in the East have also lost consecutive games, the Nets still have not seized the opportunity to overtake their opponents, and now the Nets are in third place in the East with a record of 27 wins and 16 losses, and the Fourth Cavaliers in the East are only one win away from them.
【Wounded soldiers full of camps】

【Unladylike encounter】
★ Although Durant, Harden, Tsai Chongxin, nash all believe that Irving will be vaccinated in the near future, but from today's interview with Irving, we can feel that Irving will definitely not be vaccinated this year, that is, even if the Nets reach the Eastern Conference Finals and finals this year, Irving can only participate in away games; so it makes no sense for the Nets to strive for the first place in the East and protect the home advantage of the playoffs, because playing on the road is good for them (Irving can go), and the home field is more beneficial than harmful to them!
★ Owen's original words: "I have already made a decision (not to receive vaccinations), I will stick to this decision, it will not be changed by what happened in the NBA!" ”
