106-110, the Nets lost again, and in the away game against the Warriors, the Nets' Durant and Harden could not play, and Irving single-handedly led the team. In this game, Aldridge also suffered an injury and withdrew from the game, and Aldridge's injury made the Nets' incomplete lineup even worse. Although the Nets have played until the last moment with Irving's excellent performance, unfortunately, they still lost to the Warriors by 4 points and suffered 4 consecutive losses.
After losing this game, the Nets' record this season has also reached 29-20, falling out of the top 5 in the East, and they are currently in 6th place in the East. Trailing the Heat, Bulls, Philadelphia, Cavaliers and Bucks, the Bucks are as many as one win behind the 5th-place Bucks in the East. From No. 1 in the East to no. 6 in the East, the Nets' recent performances have been somewhat disappointing, and the continuous losses have also caused the team's record ranking to decline significantly.
The Nets aren't so stable in the playoffs right now, because they're only 1.5 wins ahead of the Hornets, who are in the 7th place in the East, and if they continue to lose, then the team will fall into the playoffs, and at that time, if the team wants to enter the playoffs, the team may need to get a playoff ticket through the playoffs.
The Nets are a promising team this season, and their goal is to win the final championship, but the team's current record is undoubtedly disappointing. Not only have the team not been able to achieve the expected results, but they have also not been able to play satisfactorily in the game, and their overall performance so far this season has been somewhat bad.
Many fans may blame Nash for the Nets' poor performance, but judging from the Nets' current situation, Nash, as a head coach, can be said to have done his best. Because there are some things that he can't control, such as injuries, Durant and Harden have missed many games this season because of injuries, and the team can't play with a complete lineup.
Coupled with the fact that Irving can't play home games after his comeback, he will only come back when he is on the road. That is to say, in the game, Nash needs to develop two sets of tactical systems, the first is to have Irving play in the away game, the second is the lack of home tactics after Irving, in the history of the NBA league, such a situation is also the first time, Nash as a recent coach, he is difficult to control such a situation.
In the game, Nash can only do his best to control what he can control. This season, he also hopes that players will play under a stable tactical system, grind each other's lineups, and let the team have a certain chemical reaction in the game. However, the appearance of injuries and Irving's ability to only play away games have also made Nash powerless, and at many times this season, he has only been able to coach a very incomplete Nets team, and the result is that the team has won less and lost more, and the ranking has dropped significantly.
Now the Nets' problem is not with Nash, but with when the team will be able to play together in its entirety, the core of Irving, Harden and Durant, who need to play more games on the court at the same time to be able to build chemistry, rather than playing a game together, for some reason, resulting in only a single player playing in the game. In this way, it is difficult for the Nets to establish a complete offensive and defensive integration this season, the lineup is incomplete for a long time, and the core players lack run-in, which is a problem that the Nets need to solve, if it can be solved, then this team will be back on track and still have the opportunity to impact the championship.
