On January 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a game that ended earlier today, the Brooklyn Nets lost 107-114 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, giving the opponent a five-game winning streak.
In this game, Irving can play, but due to Durant's injury, the Big Three may have to wait a long time to play in unison again, since Harden was traded to the Nets, the Big Three have played together less than 20 games, and the situation of winning the championship today is still not optimistic, the team can not even come up with a stable starting lineup, after occupying the first place in the East for nearly 2 months at the beginning of the season, it has now slipped to the third place in the East.
However, from the situation of the Nets, they learned a lesson last season not to overuse core players in the regular season, but Nash does not seem to have learned a lesson, Harden is still fighting for a long time with a hidden danger of injury, as for the fans jokingly call the Nets should deliberately pursue the playoff "away advantage", it seems that the Nets have not done so, summarizing the elements of many championship-winning teams in history, it is not difficult to find that the Nets are definitely not on the right path.
The Same Eastern Conference team that lost today is the Bulls, who lost 106-119 to the Grizzlies on the road, suffered four consecutive losses, facing the Nets, the Warriors and Grizzlies three strong teams all ended in double-digit points, although the Bulls still ranked first in the East, the reason is also very simple, that is, "peer background", the current strong teams in the East can not play dominance, the record is not stable, including the defending champion Bucks, which makes the situation in the East seem very chaotic.
Such chaos has a lot to do with the ravages of the epidemic, but it can also be seen that who can break out of the siege in the East this year is really difficult to determine, and the most stable Suns in the West, the lineup depth is more than enough, but the core players are limited in talent, although the Warriors are facing a good overall game, but Curry is no longer young, the state is very volatile, coupled with the problem of the team's internal line, the prospect of the championship is not very optimistic, the Lakers, the Clippers are deep in the quagmire It can be said that this year's championship is the most difficult to predict in the past decade.
