The Brooklyn Nets lost their fourth consecutive game against the Indian Pacers on Sunday night by 9 points. The final score of 116-125 reflected the Pacers’ dominance throughout the whole match. The fans and players are disappointed with the poor start to the season. Furthermore, immediately after the game, sports pundit Bill Simmons presented a severe reality check to Kevin Durant and co.
The star of the night was Bennedict Mathurin who scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists during his 33 minutes on the court. Tyrese Haliburton also scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists and confirmed the Pacers’ victory. On the other hand, Kyrie Irving scored 35 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists in 40 minutes outshining Kevin Durant’s 26 points. But their performance was not enough to bag the victory.

Following the game, the internet was flooded with supporters sharing their remarks, and the blame game began.
Bill Simmons openly rips Kevin Durant and the Nets
Minutes after the game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers was over, Bill Simmons posted a tweet. The tweet said: “Nash is obviously gonna be Fall Guy #1 for the Nets… but the Simmons trade was a catastrophe, Kyrie is one of the biggest week to week distractions in recent NBA history, and the front office has absolutely stunk for two-plus years.”
Since Steve Nash took over as head coach of the Nets in 2020, the team has undoubtedly failed to deliver. Last season, the Nets got swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. This year, players like Ben Simmons continue to put in poor performances, while Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant have had good games so far. But, in the end, their efforts have been for nothing as the team finds themselves with a 1-5 record so far this season.
