On April 26, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Nets lost to the Celtics by four points at home, won all four games in the playoffs, and were eliminated by the Celtics 0-4, missing the playoffs In the Eastern Conference Final Four. Sitting on Durant, Irving, Mills, Chuang Shen, Curry Jr., Griffin Jr., and the uninitiated Ade and other superstars, Nash's Nets are still difficult to win in the playoffs, and they are out of the game with a 0-4 shame, such a report card is indeed out of the expectations of many people. In this way, the Nets' season is all over, seventh in the regular season, first-round win in the playoffs, and 0-4 out in the first round of the playoffs.
Before the start of the season, the Nets and Lakers have made a lot of reinforcements, and they have formed a big three, the Nets are Durant, Irving and Harden, and the Lakers have James, Westbrook and Thick Brow. The Nets also have griffin, comeback Ader, Mills, Dragic and other superstars. The Lakers have returning Howard, Anthony, Nunn and others, and the two teams are star-studded and are said to be very likely to be in the division finals.
What I didn't expect was that it was now staged the strongest slap in the face in history, because Basket Lake was pointed out that it was expected to meet the division finals, and the final result was that the Lakers did not qualify for the playoffs, and even did not enter the playoffs. The Nets are out 0-4, and the playoffs are difficult to win, and they are not as good as last season's playoffs in the second round of the Eastern Conference.
The Nets' exit is indeed a pity, although the regular season is high and low, but the final stage gradually found the state, and the playoff also beat the powerful Cavaliers. The first round of the playoffs met the Celtics, the first two games were away games, one was killed by Tatum, one was double probing + Smart staged a big reversal of 17 points behind, the Nets fell behind 0-2. Back in the 2 games back home, the Nets had little time to lead, the two games were washed away by opponents, Irving did not perform well, Durant G4 rebounded but has been unable to return to the sky, the Nets were swept out 0-4.
The Lakers are even more embarrassed, there are a number of NBA historical superstars in the team, Westbrook, Howard, James, Thick Brow brother and Anthony, etc., but they did not even go in the playoffs, they once occupied a good position in the regular season, but Wei Shao's run-in has been poor, and the Lakers also have a collapse in the final stage, stronger than the Spurs and Pelicans. This star-studded team only finished 11th in the West in the regular season, missed the play-offs, and was prematurely eliminated, which is a pity.
Now with the Nets playoff round trip, those who look at the strength of the paper at the beginning of the season analyze and think that the Nets and Lakers will rush out of the East and West, and the fans and experts of the Finals have been punched in the face, which is indeed embarrassing. The investment and strength of these two teams should not be such results, but there are a series of problems such as running-in and internal friction during the period, and this offseason, the Lakers and the Nets will definitely have big moves.
