On February 7, Beijing time, the Nets played against the Nuggets, and the Nets lost to the Nuggets 104-124 at the end of the game. In this game, it is still difficult for the Nets to win, and in view of the previous game Irving led the team to defeat the Jazz, so this game the Nets want to beat the Nuggets is not an easy thing, but in fact, the Nets played well in the half game, especially when the Nets played positive, it was tight to bite the score, but what people did not expect was that the Nets began to collapse in the third quarter, and although the fourth quarter of the game was close to the score, it was difficult to change the overall situation, and finally the Nuggets pulled away the score to make the Nets suffer a fiasco.
In this game, Irving's state of affairs in the game picked up, but it was a pity that in the first half of the game, Irving had helpers such as Griffin and Mills, but in the second half of the game, the Nets did not stand up to help the team, so although Irving got 27 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, the Nets were still powerless. Nash's voice after this game is also intriguing, and while talking about how the first and second halves are different, Nash said: They [the Nuggets] showed their strength, they have some really good players. It can be said that Nash's answer undoubtedly contains a variety of meanings, although the Nuggets have played a good performance in the game, it should be known that although the current Nets are missing Harden and Durant, but now they still have Irving, at this time Nash said that the Nuggets have really good players, I am afraid that it is also a dissatisfaction with the Nets now.
However, one thing to say is that the current Nets are really too bad, and after losing this game, the Nets have fallen to the seventh position in the East, and the Next Game the Nets will return to the home game against the eighth team in the East. And now the eighth team in the East is only 0.5 wins behind the Nets, if the Nets are not able to win, then the Nets' ranking in the East will further decline, which is a very unfavorable thing for the Nets, more importantly, from now on, the Nets may be difficult to win, first of all, whether Harden can return is not certain, but the Nets home game Irving can not play, and the Nets' current residual team wants to win is obviously not realistic.
At the same time, Cousins performed average in this game, and cousins got 5 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists at the end of the game, but such Cousins was still recognized, Cousins' 10-day contract will expire after today, for Cousins' performance during the period, Malone said: When he played, he played a positive role. I'll talk to Tim Connelly (Nuggets general manager) about Cousins and see if I can keep him. Obviously, Cousins is still recognized by Malone, and this will help the Nuggets to keep Cousins, but it is really difficult to say whether Cousins will eventually be able to stay with the Nuggets.
And looking at the current Nets, Harden's problem here is really urgent, after all, the current Nets record is bad, which originally made the Nets in the storm, so at this time the Nets need to make a choice for Harden here, whether it is trading Harden or choosing to leave Harden, at least the Nets need to make a choice, rather than let Harden here continue to appear trading rumors, which is very unfavorable to the current Nets, especially now the Nets have suffered 8 consecutive defeats, If Harden continues to have problems here, this will be a bigger blow to the Nets.
