On April 24, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets lost 103-109 at home to the Celtics, falling behind 0-3 on aggregate and having been pushed to the edge of the cliff.
None of the teams in the series' seven-game, four-win format have flipped the game behind 3-0, and at the moment, judging by the Nets' overall play, it's hard for them to steal four consecutive wins from the Celtics.
In the case that Ben Simmons has not yet returned, the team has basically been sentenced to death, and for the next G4, whether Simmons can return may not have much impact on the next situation of the Nets. Even if Simmons ventures back, he may not be able to avoid the fate of the Nets being swept away.
The Nets, now in a completely passive situation, looking to see if they will miss James Harden's days on the team. Since that trade, the Nets have missed a core player in exchange for Drummond and Seth Curry and Simmons, but in fact, they can't play a role in the playoffs.
If the Nets stop in the first round this season, Harden's deal is believed to be criticized by many people, and the selection and operation of management will definitely be the biggest failure of the entire season.
