Good players don't necessarily become good coaches, coaches with good players in their hands may not be able to coach the team to achieve good results, I am talking about this person is Nash, Nash is one of my favorite players, but after he became a coach, the doubts about him have not stopped, today the Nets lost to the Jazz by a big score, and has suffered seven consecutive losses, ranking sixth in the East with a 55 percent win rate.
The Nets are the favorites to win the East, and the Jazz are the favorites to win the Title in the West, these two teams are not short of stars, have the strength to impact the best results, today the two teams met, although Durant, Harden, Aldridge and Griffin did not qualify for this game, but the Nets can still send Irving, Mills and Griffin such star players. The Jazz have also been out of full health lately, with Gobert, Clarkson and Ingsell unable to play, and Mitchell missing eight games with injuries and making a comeback in this game against the Nets.
The Jazz sent starters to Mitchell, Bojan, Conley, O'Neal and Azubuik, and the Nets sent starters to Irving, Mills, Clarkston, Edwards and Johnson.
Mitchell has just returned to the game, so his playing time is under control, how it is still unknown, before the game, I think the Nets have a better chance of winning. Although Mitchell only played twenty-one minutes, only made ten shots to get twenty-seven points, Irving played thirty-one minutes and scored fifteen points with twenty shots, the gap between the performances of these two players is a bit large, and it is clear that Mitchell is more trustworthy. In this game, the Nets were always in a backward position, and the Jazz led by thirty-four points at most, and when the game entered the second half, they lost the suspense of winning and losing, and finally the Jazz won the game with a twenty-three-point advantage. In an interview after the game, Mitchell said that the result of the game was secondary, and he was already very happy to be able to play.
No team in the league has ever suffered a seven-game losing streak that ends up winning a championship, and the Nets are drifting away from a championship. Durant has not yet returned to the date, during which the Nets are two wins and eight losses, and there have been recent rumors about the trade of Harden, and the number of times the big three have appeared at the same time is not much, is it about to be disbanded? We shouldn't just blame injuries, Philadelphia only has Embiid a superstar, but this team is in the top five in the East, Thompson only returned this year, the Warriors have been able to soar this season, and the Jazz and Bucks have also suffered injury problems, and these teams are ranked higher than the Nets. So the Nets' problem points to one person, and that person is Nash, who told his players when the team went through a losing streak that they had to come together to get through it. Owen said to face the reality of losing and no one would sympathize with them. The reason why the Nets are in this situation today is not only that Irving can't play, Durant can't play, Nash's problem is also very big, if the Big Three fall apart, then the Nets will definitely fall to the bottom.
Nash doesn't go to class, and the Nets have no future. As coach Nash is too young, he should have been training for a few seasons on a team that doesn't pursue results, rather than being directly entrusted with the heavy lift and aiming for the championship. The Nets' next game opponent is the Nuggets, and Jokic has been in great shape lately, so the Nets are less aggressive and the losing streak may continue.
