The Nets fans have been seeing the receipt for the disharmony within the team on the floor for months. And in the first game after the all-star break, Brooklyn once again lost significantly to the Celtics (106:129).
Although Ben Simmons and Goran Dragic moved to the east coast a few days ago, neither of them will be ready for the game against the Bucks. As a result, we will again get a starting five interspersed with reservists from the guests.
James Johnson, Seth Curry and Kessler Edwards are the names that we have recently been able to read in the New Yorkers’ starting lineup – and who often do not know how to convince. The Nets have not lost eight of their last ten games for nothing.
The best player for the visitors tonight is John Mills, who averages 13.2 points per game – for comparison, the best player for the defending champions averages 29.4 points per game.
As many NBA fans will know, this can only be Giannis Antetokounmpo! The fact that he is the best center in the league would be problematic enough for the opponent, but since Brooklyn is currently suffering from a personnel shortage on the five, the consequences are downright fatal.
In fact, Kevin Durant is the regular number one in this position, but he is again replaced by Andre Drummond tonight. However, this is really no obstacle for The Greek Freak.
