Miami Heat: Why The Kyrie Irving Situation Helps Them Immensely
First, the Nets are not doing too well. They are off to a 1-2 start, which is not great for a team with two of the top ten players in the NBA. Their defense has not improved and they have given up scores of 127, 109, and 111 points to their opponents in each of their three games.
It has been far too common for their opponents to score easy baskets without being challenged. On more than several possessions in each of these games, players have driven into the paint and scored without any help defense to meet them.
Second, while he is still putting up decent numbers, James Harden isn’t off to the start most expected from him as an NBA superstar. Through three games, he is averaging only 18.3 points per game on 39 percent shooting with 5.7 turnovers.
If the Nets are going to win it all. Harden needs to be better. The league is too competitive now. But will the Nets be able to push through all of their struggles?
With all of the drama the Nets have faced so far, they might not be able to, even with Kevin Durant putting up MVP numbers every night.
