The Nets are among the main contenders for the championship, although now the moment has come that the team can leave the playoffs or show character and move on. Steve Nash’s men confidently dealt with Boston in the first round, but then difficulties began. Brooklyn motivated to go up against Milwaukee and chalked up two home wins. It seemed that the club would not miss the advantage, but the rival managed to recoup, albeit already at the Fiserv Forum arena. The Nets lost Kyrie Irving in a big blow before game five, but James Harden came back and it helped as Kevin Durant got more space and ended up with 49 points.
In the next series of playoffs “Tampa” show their superiority over the opponent. Before the semi-finals, the team suffered only three losses, which indicates excellent form, as well as a willingness to compete for the Stanley Cup.
