The Nets are losing again! On February 5, Beijing time, the away defeat to the fourth-place Jazz in the West with 102125 has suffered 7 consecutive losses, and the sixth position in the East is no longer guaranteed, and what is more disappointing is that the Nets are also trapped in a spell in the history of the NBA, and it is difficult to compete for the championship this season.
In this game against the Jazz, the Nets never led, trailing by as many as 34 points at most, and eventually suffered a fiasco. On the night when Neither Kevin Durant nor James Harden could play, although Cam Thomas scored a game-high 30 points and broke the record for the highest single-game scoring in his NBA career, Kyrie Irving scored only 15 points on 20 shots and only 2 points in 3 Nets starters, a fiasco was inevitable.
The Nets' fiasco over the Jazz can certainly find many excuses, but we can't ignore that the Nets have lost seven in a row! The Nets have only had one consecutive win in their last 20 games, and they've only beaten the Wizards and Spurs in a row.
After seven straight losses, the Nets have only a 0.5-game advantage in sixth place in the East, and even the Hornets, who are ninth in the East, have just won one less regular season game than the Nets. The Nets, which have three star-time stars of Durant, Harden and Irving, have fallen to this point in the middle of the game schedule, which is indeed disappointing.
Many people may have the Nets suffered serious injuries, the super high record when the big three joined forces for all to see, but don't forget that all 30 teams in the league have suffered different degrees of injuries this season, remember before the start of the season, many people praised Haikou that the Nets won the championship without suspense? Admittedly, once Durant and Harden return, the Nets still have a strong book strength, and it is not impossible to fight back in the second half of the season; however, the Nets are now under the spell of NBA history, that is, no championship winner in the long NBA history has lost more than 6 games in the regular season.
From the above spell alone, the Nets may not be able to win the championship this season. Of course, some people may say that the spell is used to break, did not see the 2016 Cavaliers become the first team in NBA history to fall behind 1-3 in the Finals and still win the championship? However, today's Nets, interior and defense have great problems, and it is difficult to counterattack for the time being.
