The Nets are losing again! Against the Heat, they had no choice but to close an 11-game losing streak, an embarrassing losing streak, the longest losing streak in the league, and the Nets currently rank eighth in the East with a 29-27 record. For the Nets, the decline in the record is reasonable, but such a record is a little difficult to impact the playoffs. In the Next Schedule of the Nets, Irving will miss at least 17 games, which is likely to fall below 50% for the Nets after the big deal!
The Nets lost 111-115 to the Heat, and the ten-game losing streak could not be ended, resulting in an 11-game losing streak, which is the longest losing streak in the league at present, and the record of 29 wins and 27 losses is likely to fall below the 50% win rate. The Hornets, who are ninth in the East, have a record of 29 wins and 29 losses, and the Hawks, who are tenth in the East, have 26 wins and 29 losses, and if the Nets are a little careless, they will be ranked outside the quarterfinals of the East, and they will be in a disadvantageous position if they want to play play-offs.
Irving played 41 minutes, shooting 10-of-22, 3-of-8 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free throw line, and had a combined score of 29 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, plus or minus -5. That is to say, Irving almost used his own strength to almost overturn, helpless to lose, lost I think it is okay, played very well, in addition to the three-point miss at the key moment, and teammates caused mistakes to fail to overturn, the Nets this game of this lineup, defense is also active, the pass is not as paused as before, much smoother. The Nets nearly succeeded in the final quarter, ending somewhat similar to the last game against the Wizards, failing to win the game after trailing by one point.
The Nets' 11-game losing streak is embarrassing, but what's even more embarrassing is that Irving is playing fewer and fewer games! The Nets have only 26 games left this season, including 11 on the road, but due to Toronto-New York rules, Irving cannot play in the Feb. 17 vs. Knicks vs. March 2 vs. Raptors, meaning Irving can only play nine of the next 26 games, missing at least 17 games.
Irving's next appearance is expected to be against the Bucks on Feb. 27, with another 2 weeks to go after this game. For professional players, they have not played high-intensity games for a long time, which also has a great impact on their own state, which also has a certain impact on the competitiveness of the team. Of course, the Nets will return to Simmons and Durant's injury has improved, but the Big Three fit is a tough thing. When do you think the Nets will end their losing streak?
