Irving had 27 points and 11 assists, but the Nets' strength was greatly reduced due to the absence of Harden and Durant due to injuries, and they still lost to the Nuggets on the road and suffered an eight-game losing streak. At present, the Nets' record has reached 29 wins and 24 losses, ranking seventh in the East, and entering the play-off zone, which is undoubtedly a dangerous signal for the Nets, who were the favorite to win the championship before the start of the season.
Durant's injury, Harden's trade rumors, Irving's refusal to vaccinate and lead to only playing on the road are the troubles the Nets face. After all, except for these three players, no one else is enough to affect the game, and the Nets are the strongest in the trio.
On today's TNT show, prominent commentator and former NBA star "Big Shark" O'Neal expressed dissatisfaction with Irving's part-time status. "If you're on my team, you can't play home and I don't want you to be around me. For example, we have a chance to win, but you're always out of the plan, so go somewhere else, and that's it. ”
Indeed, if Irving were to play on the road, the Nets would need to move a player to a bench. At home, it is necessary to change the rotation and change the players' playing and coordination habits, which is really rare in the history of the NBA.
