data analysis:
In this game, the reason why the Nets can reverse the win, has a lot to do with the team's Wizards, he is Ade, Aldridge did not start this game, however, he came off the bench for 34 minutes, 14 shots 10 scored 21 points and 0 errors, the second highest in the personal scoring team, second only to Durant's 27 points, in addition, Ade has another 11 rebounds and 1 block, of which, the number of rebounds ranked first in the team, plus or minus +14 ranked second, Ade, the Nets Wonders, this game shared a lot of durant pressure, became his good helper, Even Harden can only become a green leaf.
Harden played only 16 shots in 38 minutes, scored 14 points, 6 boards, 14 assists, 3 breaks, 5 turnovers, three-pointers, 2 shots, plus or minus -6, this game, Irving is not there, Ader stood out, but Harden's state is still fluctuating, his personal score and value are very different, although the number of assists is the first in the game, but 5 mistakes are also the most in the game, the Nets have a total of 10 mistakes, half of which are from Harden, so that the Nets Durant and Ade and others are bound to be distracted to make up for these mistakes, As a result, physical exertion is greater.
Harden must get back in form as soon as possible, the last 5 games, Harley averaged 23.4 points and 5.6 turnovers, high turnovers, Harden has always been unable to overcome, at the same time, the Nets stable scorers are too few, only Durant and Ade are relatively stable, Griffin has performed very poorly recently, head coach Nash trusts him, gives him starting opportunities many times, today is no exception, but Griffin failed to live up to everyone's expectations, this game, Griffin played 9 minutes to score 2 points, 2 boards 0 assists 0 breaks, and 1 turnover 3 fouls, Nash can't stand it, directly abandon Griffin, and give his playing time to the substitute Thomas.
Thomas also lived up to expectations, playing 14 minutes with 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, shooting 57.1%, shooting 66.7% from three-point range, shooting 100% from the free throws, winning 11 points on the floor, ranking third in the team in plus-minus, if Griffin continues to pull the crotch, then, sooner or later, his starting position will be replaced by others, in fact, the Nets really value Griffin, this season, Griffin has 22.5 minutes of playing time per game, but he averages only 5.7 points per game, averages 2.1 assists per game, averages only 0.6 steals per game, and is not very efficient in attack and defense, if the Nets want to go further down the NBA road, Griffin's problems must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will only make things worse.
