After experiencing a big deal, the Nets have since drawn a line with Harden, Harden continues to pursue his first championship, and is getting closer, perhaps he was forced to change the number to No. 1, but also has a special meaning, is to get a championship honor, and even strive to become the Finals MVP, but this may have to compete with teammate Embiid. The Nets' all-new lineup may not be as quick to complete the fit, Durant is still in injury condition, and the All-Star Game will not participate, but he is determined not to choose Harden to join his All-Star team.
Not to mention Irving, some fans still expect him to change his mind, but the statement without the needle is that he will not move, and it is impossible to see his style of play at home this season. Simmons, who replaced Harden as the Third Big Man of the Nets, is exciting, but lacks high-intensity training and play, and he can't play for the Nets right away, and he's been out of the game even longer than Duran. Unless Nash is willing to take the risk and put Simmons directly into the starting lineup and let him practice as a racer. In short, the Nets can really use the new role players Curry Jr. and Drummond, and the help to the team should be limited.
Counting the Nets' schedule, five of the next six games will be against teams from the East, namely the Heat, Wizards, Knicks, Celtics and defending champion Bucks, who will face challenges from Western Conference team Kings after completing the game against the Heat. This is a three-master, three-away fixture, in which the home game will face the Kings, Wizards, Celtics, and away will face the Heat, Knicks and Bucks. Most notably, the city of the game is New York, and it is clear that four of Irving's next six games will be on the sidelines.
Irving's latest statistic is very informative, he played as a single core game, is five consecutive losses, even the Wizards can not win, you know, the Wizards have completed a big deal at that time, All-Star guard Bill is reimbursed for the season. This schedule also has to face the Wizards once, Irving can not play, without the core of the Nets, I am afraid to lose to the opponent again. At present, the Nets have set a record, the record is ten consecutive losses, the next six games, Irving has four games not to play, basically more losses and wins less, the most extreme will be 16 consecutive losses.
It's an unimaginable situation, but Irving can only be blamed for not being able to play, when the Nets will be 29-32, and I am afraid that the ranking will fall outside the twelfth place in the East. However, this is only a preliminary estimate, and it is the worst situation, and no one can say that the Nets will lose without the Big Three. But now it is quite a test of Nash's coaching ability, if there is really a 16-game losing streak, should Nash take the initiative to resign? At least the Nets are likely to not win the championship, and Harden's departure is obviously very wise. Finally, the Nets have less than 30 games left, and if Irving doesn't have an injury, he can play up to 10 games and watch and cherish it, and Durant's dream of winning the championship this season may be shattered.
