Nets’ Blake Griffin Admits “Very High” Concern Levels Amidst James Harden Exit Rumors and String of Losses

The Brooklyn Nets lost their match against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. This was their eighth consecutive loss. The Nets had a hard time dealing with the Nuggets and eventually lost the game by a final score of 124-104. Currently, they are at 29-24 after this game.

That puts them in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. In the same vein, when asked about their scoring and performance, veteran Nets forward Blake Griffin admitted there were “very high” concerns amid James Harden exit rumors and a string of losses. 

Halfway through the game, the Nets were down by just one point. However, in the second half, the Nuggets scored 48 points and eventually won comfortably.

Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin gives his take on the team’s performance

With Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden playing together, the Nets were touted to become a championship-winning team. Some people predicted the Nets would win the championship with this combination.

However, this did not happen as injuries and poor performances have made sure the Nets are almost out of the title picture.

Their losing streak is getting longer and longer with each match. It is strange to see a team that was touted to win the championship lose so many games. Now though, seeing the Net’s current record makes us wonder what they can do to get back to winning ways.

Due to stiff hamstrings, Harden has been struggling to play. As a result, the Nets are having a very difficult time coping with his absence. 

Considering the players’ performance, they weren’t that bad. Griffin scored 19 points and made five three-pointers against the Nuggets, his best game of the season. Griffin played 30 minutes for the team. In regards to Kyrie Irving’s performance, he scored 27 points and had 11 assists. 

What do you think about the team’s performance this season and their losing streak?
