The NBA playoffs have begun, but some teams are not performing very well, such as The Brooklyn Nets is a good example. has already lost two games in a row since the start of playoffs and ! If they lose two more games, the Nets will really end their playoff journey.
You must know that the Nets are one of the favorite teams to win the championship. If they fall in the first round of the playoffs like this, I'm afraid the team will undergo another major overhaul this offseason. Like the Nets, the Warriors also have many All-Star players, but they won three consecutive victories after the start of the playoffs.
So, here comes the problem. The Nets and Warriors both have All-Star players. Why did the former lose two consecutive games at the start, while the Warriors started with three consecutive wins? In Monkey’s opinion, is likely to be related to the following three reasons.
The Nets lack players who have the ability to organize offense
We all know that a team's offense is inseparable from the organization of the players. At the same time, Durant and Irving both play a more offensive role in the game, and their organizational skills are average.
In the era of the Nets' Big Three, the existence of Harden can effectively help the team sort out their offense. However, today is different from the past, Harden has left the Nets. This means that the Nets' offense has become a mess, relying entirely on the singles of Durant and Irving.
Nash is more keen on using All-Star players
It has to be said that Harden's departure is also related to Nash's coaching. Because Nash prefers to use All-Star players, he cannot allow these players to get sufficient rest. is like this in the regular season, and even more so in the playoffs!
During this season, Durant's injury was also due to this. If Nash can learn to develop some role players, I believe the Nets will not have such a difficult time competing with the Celtics in the playoffs.
Cole knows better about formations
Compared with Nash, Cole will not stick to All-Star players, and his coaching philosophy is more flexible. In some cases, Cole will give some role players a chance to play. At the same time, it will also give them some opportunities to take action.
This is something Nash did not do. In addition, Cole's arrangement of and Curry as substitute players turned out to be miraculous. Perhaps it was Cole's surprise that allowed the Warriors to achieve a different kind of success.
Conclusion
Although Nash spent some time with the Warriors as Durant's personal trainer, he did not fully learn Cole's coaching philosophy. If he can fully master Cole's coaching methods, I believe the Nets' performance in the playoffs will not be so weak.
