The Nets have lost their playoff opening game against the Celtics, but the question surrounding the Nets is whether Ben Simmons will play for the Nets in the playoffs, or when Simmons will return to the game.
Nets head coach Steve Nash revealed ben Simmons in an interview:
"Nash revealed that Simmons had taken part in four-on-four training, which was also his first day of contact training."
That said, Simmons has been allowed to do contact training at the moment, which is definitely a good progress for the Nets.
On the other hand, Kevin Durant talked about the "hostility" of Celtics fans towards Kyrie Irving, and Durant said that this hostility was "derived from love":
Regardless, the Nets need Irving to be good enough in the series against the Celtics to beat their opponents and make it deep into the playoffs.
Finally, former NBA star Maddy praised durant and Irving as having even better technology than Jordan and Pippen and James and Wade when talking about durant and Irving:
From a technical point of view, Durant and Irving are indeed players with good technical characteristics, but Jordan and Pippen and James and Wade are combinations with greater advantages in other aspects, which is why Jordan and Pippen won 6 championship trophies, and James and Wade can win two championship trophies. In contrast, Durant and Irving still need championship trophies to prove their strength.
