On March 16, as Irving blasted 60 points, the Nets scored the second-highest 150 points in team history, winning a 42-point win on the road. The Nets have won 4 consecutive games, they are currently in the eighth place in the East, there is a 3.5 win difference between the top six straight to the playoffs, although there are not many games left in the regular season, but as long as they maintain good form, I believe that Nash's team is still likely not to play the play-offs, after all, the playoffs are a single game to win or lose, the Nets, although powerful, but can not be sure not to be upset.
The Nets have successfully risen in a wave of 4 consecutive wins, while the Lakers' performance is still very bad. On March 2 and March 4, the Nets and Lakers both played on the same day, when both teams lost in sync. At that time, the Lakers and Nets fell to the bottom, the Nets lost 6-5, and the Lakers lost 8-7, all ranked ninth in the division, giving people the feeling that there was no hope.
However, today's Nets have been stable with Durant's return, Irving continues to contribute magical performances on the road, and the integration of people such as Drummond and Curry Jr. is very good. Under such circumstances, Irving has performed well in the recent 50 points and 60 points once. Durant also contributed 50+ points in a single game, and the Nets rose strongly after beating the 76ers to win a wave of consecutive wins. Now the Nets not only improve their rankings, see the hope of impacting the top six, the most important thing is that the team's spirit is back, which is very important.
The Lakers side is very bad, their performance has been very poor, if it is not the Blazers and the Kings and other teams are also poor performance, otherwise the Lakers have the possibility of falling out of the top ten. At present, whether the Lakers are away against the Suns or at home against the Raptors, they can be easily played by the opponent in a short period of time, the team is in a difficult situation, James is also angry and does not accept the interview, Wei Shao's performance has been very poor, and there are injuries. The next Lakers will also face a wave of 4 consecutive guests, in this case, the Lakers want to rebound, it is very difficult.
So the Nets and Lakers have the same trajectory this season, before the start of the season, the stars are gathered, are recognized as the favorite teams to win the championship, and at the beginning of the season also ranked at the top of the division, but the All-Star performance was very poor. However, now that the Nets and Lakers are not deadly, Nash's team is rising strongly, and Vogel's team is still in trouble.
Also looking forward to the next performance of the Nets and Lakers, their strength is still very strong, the Nets can impact the championship, and the Lakers have great hopes of playing in the playoffs. Of course, if the two teams want to hold the cup, they need to do better.
