Yeah, perhaps the new coach has something to do with the current chemistry of the team. And it seems that the drama surrounding diva 1, Kyrie Irving has been settled and so it diva 2, Ben Simmons, comfortable on his position, sometimes he score more points and assists and then play good defense, and then games wherein he is not existent. But at least there are no more noises behind. However, they are winning so everything is good, but when they score losing again, for sure there will be finger pointing again. So we shouldn't sit with this one, the best test will come on the playoff and who will be their opponent. Still very far though, many things can happen.
Kevin Durant gets what he wanted and that might be one of the reasons why there's no more distraction on his mind and he's just playing basketball on his usual-self. Good to see those supposed headaches of the Nets are now working well together that seems nothing happened before.
Off-night performance though, if happened, is usual but what matters here is, the chemistry is really doing well.
Hopefully, the Nets will be able to keep up that good momentum for a long and more importantly, away from any injuries.
They will of course straighten up because they will end up tanking next season if Kevin Durant will force his way again to get traded. I know that without Durant, the team is still a threat to the league but somehow the other teams will find some loopholes how to crumble the Nets who got no Durant and of course an injury in the superstar will add them another headache.
In short, getting out at least one of the current players in the roster will give the team some struggles that they don't want. I'm glad seeing them at the top again next to the Celtics and their hardwork paid off this time.
So far, all of them is playing safely. Severe injuries might not be present this time because of that, just a minor sore or crumps only. Hopefully.
