The reason why the Nets now have a lot of fans is believed that most of them are after the team reorganized the Big Three. At that time, Harden was bent on joining the Nets, teaming up with Durant and Irving to chase their championship dreams together. At that time, everyone was very optimistic about this team, after all, Durant, Irving and Harden were all the top scorers in the league, and they were all stars who could rank in the top ten of the league. Probably no one expected that after only one season together, the team was swept out 0-4 in the first round of the playoffs the following year.
In real life, that's it. People are often more able to see the aura of the winner, and few people pay attention to the loneliness of the loser. If there is concern, then it is more of a criticism. In fact, the voice of criticism also has a positive effect from another perspective, at least to promote the loser to have a clearer understanding of themselves. The Nets' defeat this season may be expected, but the 0-4 sweep is believed that almost no one can imagine.
The season was also a season of twists and turns for the Nets, starting with Irving being banned from the league because he was reluctant to do nucleic acid, thus missing most of the team's games. Harden chose to leave the Nets, many people believed that it was because of dissatisfaction with the attitude of head coach Nash and Irving to the game, and then there was news that it was because Durant criticized Harden for needing to maintain his body and form, which led to a rift in the relationship between the two, and finally Harden chose to leave the Nets. Durant and Irving are both people who have won championships, not to mention the weight, at least they both have championships. But it's different for Harden, who is more eager than all of them to have a championship ring, so there's nothing wrong with his choice.
I thought that although Harden left the team, with Durant and Irving, the nets' performance in the playoffs will not be too bad, at least to the Eastern Conference Finals, or many people are optimistic. After all, Durant's performance in the playoffs last season is obvious to everyone, and Irving is now on the court. But the reality is that under the strict defense of the Celtics, Durant's playoffs are like a changed person, completely locked up by the other side. Although Irving retired from the playoffs last season, Harden's ability to control the ball is still critical, his scoring ability has declined, but he can control the rhythm of the team, and Durant only needs to concentrate on the offense. The difference between Irving and Harden is that Irving is more offensive, with outstanding personal ability, but he does not bring as much help to his teammates as Harden. Just like after Paul joined the Suns, many people realized that a good point guard is crucial to the role of the team.
In addition, there is another factor, that is, the team's head coach Nash. How to say it, maybe Nash is a master of possession, but to know that that was when he was on the field, and now he is in command off the field, I have to admit that Nash really needs a lot of experience as the manager of the team. Regardless, the Nets' journey this season has ended prematurely, and there's still a lot to do for them now.
