NBA teams are most afraid of injuries. The Brooklyn Nets are currently in trouble because of their uneven roster. They will have a very tough schedule. Starting tomorrow, the Nets will face five strong opponents in six games. Among them are the Lakers Warriors Jazz Suns and nuggets such league teams. The Nets' lineup is very uneven, and if it is a home game, only Harden can play. If it is an away game, although there is Harden and Irving, but the core Durant is recuperating from injuries and cannot play on the court. The team's top scorer Harris is still recuperating from injuries and can't play, and against the league's top teams, the Nets' strength of one star will be greatly reduced. Can multiple main players laugh to the end without playing the Nets now?
Tomorrow the Nets will play against the Lakers at home, with only Harden playing alone. Although the Lakers are not in good shape, the Lakers are a team that has a championship-winning background after all, after all, there is James, the top star of the league. Anything can happen as long as there is James. Tomorrow's game, not only can Durant and Joha not play, Millsap can't play for personal reasons. Clarkston was also in doubt, equivalent to another decline in the team's defense. In the face of James's repeated impacts, the Nets are difficult to say. The Lakers will also put all their energy into Harden alone. Harden's form has fluctuated frequently this season, averaging less than 23 points per game and shooting just 42 percent from the field.
After playing the Lakers, the Nets have to play the Nuggets at home, and it is more difficult to play the Nuggets. Because the Nuggets have a superstar center, Jokic, the Nets can't expect to limit Jokic. You can only hope that the superstar feels average, or that the Nuggets role players are in a sluggish state. If the Nets attack with a thousand arrows, there is still a possibility of winning.
The Lakers and Nuggets can only be considered a second-tier team this season, and then the Nets will face a real challenge. After playing the Nuggets Nets, they will head to the road to challenge the Warriors and Suns respectively. At this time, Irving can return, but this is not good news. Because they're going to the away game, and the two teams are the best and second best teams in the league. The pressure to travel to the Nets on the road must be great.
After playing these two difficult opponents, the Nets will go to Sacramento to challenge the King, the King's strength is mediocre, and winning with the strength of the Nets should not be a big problem. Finally they have to play the Jazz, who have the best NBA record last season, with a balanced attack and defense. Playing with them is expected to be another fierce confrontation.
On the bright side, if Harden and Irving can break out 1-2 games, the Nets should be able to win 1-2 of them. But with the nets' current strength, fans are very pessimistic, if the Nets lose all these games, with their current record may fall out of the upper half of the East. The gap between the top 4 teams in the East is not very large. If you lose 3 to 4 games in a row, you may even fall to the 5th to 7th place in the East.
The truth is so cruel that if the Nets had kept all of them healthy, they would not have been in such a situation. But injuries disrupted their tracks. Hopefully, the Nets will survive this winter and wait for Durant to return before finding a way. Readers, how many games do you think the Nets can win this stretch of the schedule?
