Because against the Lakers not only Kyrie Irving was missing, but also superstar and driver Kevin Durant. Nonetheless, James Harden & Co managed to get the chestnuts out of the oven and lead the Nets to a 122: 115 victory over the Californians.
The black and white consist of much more than “just” their “Big Three”. Not for nothing could it be despite all the bottlenecks five of the last six NBA games to be won.
There is also a good chance that Kevin Durant will play against the Clippers but still fit will. But regardless of that, Brooklyn has already proven that it is of enough quality not to break in even in its absence.
So while the Nets are a powerful group that I’m not too worried about even without their stars, the Clippers, on the other hand, have already proven that they can’t handle their key players’ failures – and it gets worse.
Because the game of the Californians is supported by two pillars. Their names are Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. The latter has been out since the beginning of the season, which has long since affected the team’s performance.
Because in the past season Lob City won 65.3% of its regular season games, in the current season, however, it is only 50.0%. But even this value threatens to drop further in the coming weeks.
