In a regular season game that ended this morning, the Nets beat the Cavaliers 118-107 to win three straight games, and after this game, they also overtook their opponents in the record table to reach seventh in the East. While they still need to play play-offs to earn a playoff spot, this winning streak will undoubtedly give the team some confidence.
While the Nets' record rankings are less than ideal, many believe that some seeded teams in the East are trying to avoid them in the first round, and the Pelicans guard is one of those who hold this view.
'I think a lot of teams are avoiding them, whether they end up in seventh or eighth place, the top two seeds in the East, all have to face the KD and Irving rewards. In the latest episode of the podcast show Pull Up, McCollum said.
Durant disagrees with this statement from the outside world. The latter said in today's post-game interview: "I don't believe there's going to be a team that does that, I think a lot of teams just want to keep the lineup healthy when the playoffs come, and honestly, I don't think they're going to worry about us, you know, so we're only focused on what we can do, and no matter which team we end up playing against, we're going to give it our all." ”
What do you think about that? Are the top teams in the East trying to avoid the Nets in the first round?
