The Nets are now number 4 in the East. Just like that. Another example of a strong 2nd unit that beat the Pacers yesterday without Kyrie, KD, and Ben.
That's an impressive performance for the 2nd unit of Nets. They are really proving that they are competitive and they did it in a surprising way, teamwork and trust each other.
It's good to see a team who wins without relying on their superstars, as you mentioned your
what if, for the Lakers, getting that point, they should play the system together and start
doing it as early as now. They are all pro and deserve to play with decent minutes.
Easier said than done because the Lakers are really struggling in that part, some of their days, they are at their best and some of it, they are at their worst. No consistency that is why they still failed to work their team up on the ladder, with no superstars like Lebron or AD onboard in any given game, it's expected that the Lakers will crumble.
No matter how hard AD or LeBron carry the team, they still won't reach that far if the rest won't be on their best because when the league gets more intense, they will left behind against a well synchronized team. I'm afraid it will happen to them what happened last season if they won't pull themselves together to improve.
it's sad how they are having a bad performance, they lost against the boston celtics in a game they only managed to win in the second period, in the remaining periods they lost, and realized that they didn't have many chances to reverse the result, in the first period they lost by a difference of 11 points, but until the third period they managed to win by a difference of 9 points, but strangely that in the fourth period they dropped a lot in performance to the point of losing by a difference of 6 points, they are very inconsistent , that way they are hitting rock bottom every game.
