On April 5, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season ushered in a rest day. As of today, the Nets are currently only 40-38, ranking 10th in the East. They will have to compete for a playoff spot by playing in playoffs, and the only suspense is whether it will pass two games or one, which makes the Nets' prospects bleak.
Speaking about the team's prospects earlier today, Nets star Durant was interviewed, saying, "I don't care who our opponents are in the playoffs. We've been disrupted by my injuries this season and I'm not saying we're not a good team. When neither Irving could play, we lacked continuity. The truth is, when we can all play, I love everything we have. ”
However, there is one person who is very dismissive of the Nets' prospects, and he is Nick Wright, a famous mouthpiece who has quarreled with Durant. In a podcast, Nick Wright said: "The Nets have been terrible lately, their defense is terrible, and on that night when Durant could have scored 65 points, Irving stole 32 shots. Guys, if the Nets make a playoff, then they'll meet the Heat in the first round. The Heat will beat the Nets to the brim, which isn't even a playoff series. ”
As Nick Wright said, in the game where Durant broke his career scoring record, Durant made just 28 appearances, while Irving made 32 crazy shots.
The Nets are currently ranked 10th in the East, and according to the current ranking, even if the Nets win two rounds of playoffs, they can only reach the playoffs as the 8th, and the current first place in the East is the Heat.
