NBA News: Interesting commentary on the Brooklyn Nets’ most recent performance was offered by Skip Bayless. Even though the club earned a much-needed victory, Bayless made clear how desperate things were for them since their two superstars once again carried the team.
After losing their previous four games straight, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Indiana Pacers at home. The Nets earned a revenge victory to raise their record to 2-5 after losing to the Pacers at home.
Unfortunately, the situation facing the Nets is everything but encouraging. They nearly let the game get away from them after building up a sizable advantage in the first half. Brooklyn just about held off Indiana in the second half despite a fierce offensive push from the young Pacers club.
The combination scoring prowess of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant was a key component of the Nets’ victory at the Barclays Center. The Brooklyn superstars combined for 64 points, giving the Nets the victory.
However, the performance revealed a very obvious issue with the roster as a whole. This was brought up by Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless when discussing the victory. As he tweeted:
“Nets hold off late run by Indiana to avoid even worse calamity at home. Now they’re simply a two-man offensive squad – KD with 36, Kyrie with 28. Defence, and rebounding are optional. Either those two outscore you… or else.”
Bayless is entirely justified in criticising the team’s overall performance. Nic Claxton was the only other player for the Brooklyn Nets to score in double figures outside Irving and Durant.
With a 39-38 rebounding advantage, the Brooklyn Nets just about pulled off the victory in this area. However, this is undoubtedly unworthy of a club that is anticipated to contend for a championship.
The perimeter defence for the Nets appeared disorganised with Ben Simmons out of the game due to injury. Fortunately for the team, Indiana had a terrible three-point shooting night.
Brooklyn will accept the victory even if the Nets in this game benefited from a number of variables. The Brooklyn Nets, who are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference, have a lot of room to make up.
