NBA 2022 Latest News: “We’re in deep shit.” Eleventh loss in a row for the Nets
The Nets’ decline is bottomless. They added their 11th straight loss on their visit to the Heat, solid leaders of the Eastern Conference. In the first game after the transfer of James Harden to the Sixers, nothing changed.
Kyrie Irving, the only member of the failed ‘Big Three’ of Brooklyn, scored 20 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter to dream of dreaming of the comeback after trailing by 21 in the third quarter. But could not consummate the feat.
“We know we’re in deep shit. We understand that. But with a win, things can change,” said the injured Kevin Durant after the game, according to the ‘New York Post’. The return of the forward can change the landscape of the Nets. In the middle of January, he suffered a sprain in the medial collateral ligament of his left knee. But he has already returned to training and it seems that he is close to returning. Foul makes the Brooklyn team.
Something more complicated seems that Irving can participate in home games. The point guard does not play at home as he has not been vaccinated against COVID and New York laws prevent him from accessing closed facilities with a large influx of people.

He maintains the hope that this mandate will be lifted. But remains convinced of not receiving the doses against the virus since he says that it is not as simple as getting an injection. He claims to be praying for another option.
Meanwhile, the Heat continue to occupy a privileged position for which the Nets seemed predestined. Bam Adebayo scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead Miami’s victory, which ended up suffering after managing large leads on the scoreboard.
A steal by Kyle Lowry and subsequent free throws by PJ Tucker secured the home win. Duncan Robinson finished with 17 points (6/10 from 3-point range). Tyler Herro had 15 and Jimmy Butler and Lowry had 13 apiece.
Cam Thomas finished with 22 points for the Nets, who were still without Seth Curry and Andre Drummond, acquired from the Sixers in the Harden-for- Ben Simmons trade.
