On February 9, Beijing time, in a game that just ended today, the Brooklyn Nets lost 91-126 at home to the Boston Celtics, suffering nine consecutive defeats. The Nets currently have a record of 29 wins and 25 losses, and the ranking has slipped to eighth in the East.
The Nets are considered by many fans to be the favorite to win this season, and for a long time before that, their record was also very good. In the absence of Irving, he can always maintain the first and second position in the East.
But in recent games, Irving has been restricted from playing at home due to Durant's absence due to a knee injury, and Harden has also missed several games. Not only that, but Aldridge, Harris, and Clarkston, who are just good fighting forces, have also suffered from injuries.
So the team is basically in a situation where no one is available at the moment, take today's game. The Nets' highest-scoring player was guard Jevon Carter, who played 30 minutes and shot 7-of-16 from the field, including 7-of-13 from three-point range, with 21 points, three rebounds and three assists.
Before this game, he could only average 10.9 minutes of playing time per game, and could have 2.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists. From him, you can see that the Nets currently have few players available, and Nash is also a clever woman.
Of course, although the Nets have suffered a serious decline in performance due to injuries and various reasons, no one can underestimate the Nets after the lineup is complete. It's just that if the Nets can't find a way to win without the team's main force, even if they enter the final playoffs, they will encounter some strong teams in advance, then the Nets' playoff journey will not be so easy.
