On February 7, Beijing time, the Nets lost 104-124 to the nuggets on the road, due to injury problems, the team's superstars Kevin Durant and James Harden were still unable to play in this game, but because it was the team's away game, Kyrie Irving scored a team-high 27 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks in 10 of 26 shooting in 41 minutes.
It's just that even if Irving can play efficiently on the court, it is not surprising that this Nets eventually lost the game due to the absence of core players. After this game, the Nets have suffered an eight-game losing streak and have fallen to 29-24 this season and fallen to 7th in the East.
Although the Nets have not performed well in recent times, Cam Thomas can be said to be one of the best players in this Nets lineup. In the game against the Nuggets, Cam Thomas, who played 32 minutes, had 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks on 7-of-16 shooting, in addition to hitting 2 three-pointers.
In fact, Cam Thomas has been able to perform well in games where he has been able to play enough time in the past two games, and in the past two games, Cam Thomas, who has a total of 53 minutes of playing time, has cut 50 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, in addition to hitting five three-pointers.
Not only that, but Cam Thomas has 18 games this season that have at least 20 minutes of playing time, while Cam Thomas has 15 of these games to score in double figures and six games to score at least 20 points. So we can also come to the conclusion that when Cam Thomas can get enough playing time on the bench, he can really help the Nets on the offensive end.
The most important news about the Nets in recent times is that Harden still can't reduce the pressure after joining the Nets, and to be honest, if head coach Steve Nash can let Cam Thomas get enough playing time in the rotation lineup, he may be the player who can make James Harden easier to "lie down" and win in the backcourt.
