There was no miracle that the Nets lost again in the case of Irving's single-core team, which was the sixth consecutive defeat led by Irving, and counting the total record, the Nets have lost 11 consecutive games. Of course, from another perspective, the day of ending the losing streak is getting closer and closer, because the Nets can't keep losing. However, the Nets' current main lineup is no longer the same as before, it is no longer the first lineup in the East, and new signing Simmons does not know when he will be able to return, Durant himself said that there is no pain in the knee, but it will take a few weeks to observe.
Everything is counting on Irving, but Irving is unreliable this season, otherwise Harden would not have complained many times, or even ended up leaving the Nets. Harden hasn't finished his appearance in the new club yet, but it doesn't prevent Philadelphia from continuing to win, and Embiid is indeed too strong. On the other hand, Irving, as a championship player, has been unable to complete the task of leading the team to win. However, if Irving is not there, the Nets may be worse off, and there is a high probability that they will continue to lose. Counting the schedule, the Nets have 15 home games to play, and the remaining 11 away games can see Irving's performance.
But who can guarantee that Irving will be able to play on the road? His insistence on not getting a needle made the Nets very passive. Next, Irving can even rest for two weeks, because the Nets' next four games are three home and one away, but the only away game is against the Knicks, how can Irving qualify? As a result, Irving made his comeback as soon as the end of February when he faced the formidable Bucks on the road. With a high salary and a break almost every once in a while, this is unique in NBA history, Irving has done it, and the Nets in the absence of giants, relying on Nash's coaching level, can be a small scoredown is already a good thing.
Now it seems that the Nets may be able to end the losing streak anytime soon, but the number of losses should continue to increase. The Lakers in the West have improved, but the record still can't go up, and the Nets can't see any hope of recovery in the lineup in addition to continuing to decline in the record. Core Durant is also impatient, but in addition to responding to Harden's departure, he also defended Irving, who believes that Irving is regarded as a scapegoat by everyone, which is unfair. Personally, I think that Durant is indeed the most qualified to explain and speak for Owen, we are not Irving's people, what we hear and hear is reflected by the media, why not believe Durant's words, try to look at Irving's problem objectively.
However, the Nets' record continues to decline, Irving is responsible, durant's responsibility is almost nothing, because the injury is an accident. Similarly, Harden has no responsibility, he is the big three who has played the most time for the Nets, and he is also the player with the strongest desire for championship honor, at least he is not passive. Nowadays, Harden only chooses to change the environment for his own better future, which is also understandable. If the Nets' big three can't win the championship, there is really no need to stick to it, Harden's peak period is gone, leaving him with even less time to win the championship, instead of waiting for the Nets to miraculously counterattack and get the championship ring, it is better to personally assist Embiid to win the championship and improve his ranking in the first batch of 75 superstars.
