As two championship favorite teams that were optimistic about the outside world at the beginning of the season, the Lakers and the Nets have not performed well this season. The former is likely to miss the playoffs after suffering this wave of 6 consecutive losses, and the latter has also fallen to the tenth place in the East after the last 4 games and 3 losses, and must play the playoffs to get a playoff ticket.
Recently, the Lakers celebrity magicians made a guest podcast show "First Take" about this Nets team, he believes that the Nets will eventually enter the playoffs and win a series or two, but they can not win the championship because of the team's defense.
"Listen, when Kyrie and Kevin are on the floor at the same time, they can win a short series, or a 7-game series, and they just can't win the championship, but they can definitely win one or two series. They're going to create problems for opponents on the offensive end, but I'm the same problem as everybody else, it's defense, defense, defense. The magician said.
In addition, the magician also pointed the finger at Irving, saying that he was responsible for the Nets' current poor situation.
"Irving as a leader, he called James (Harden) here, he called KD here, they all came, and in the end Irving did not show up, as a leader, he should stand up and take responsibility for the team's difficult times." The magician continued.
In addition, the Magic talked about his old club Lakers in the show, after the Lakers interior Davis said in an interview with the media that injuries are the main reason for the team's difficulties, but the Magician believes that this is shirking responsibility, he said that the entire Lakers team has responsibility, but there is no one who dares to take responsibility.
