The Brooklyn star after the sweep against Boston: "Steve faced his first two years as a coach with not easy situations, and I am proud of his way and passion" • Kyrie also showed a willingness to stay on the team next season

Not so imagined the Brooklyn Nets would end their NBA season, tonight (Tuesday) the team lost to the Boston Celtics and was eliminated in a 4-0 sweep in the first round of the playoffs.

One of the biggest franchises in the league, with two stars like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving who are undisputedly two of the best in the industry, finds himself once again finishing the season earlier than expected, for the second year in a row after being relegated to champions Milwaukee in the second playoff round last year.

The two stars of the team, referred after the loss to the painful relegation and surprised in their reactions.

Durant spoke of coach Steve Nash whose status of course was greatly undermined: "Steve faced his first two years as a coach with crazy things, Corona, injuries, trades, and I'm proud of the way he kept up, and his passion for us players."

According to reports in the United States, the coach himself will also want to continue with the team next year, and it seems that despite the huge failure, he may get another chance.

Kyrie Irving also surprised when he said after the game: "When I say I'm here with Kevin, I mean we want to run the club and take it to good places, it's not just me and Durant, there's also Ben Simmons and a few other players who are under contract."

The coordinator who missed most of the games in the regular season because he did not agree to get vaccinated against Corona, has a clause to renew his contract next season, and according to him he seems to be on his way to realizing it and continuing in Brooklyn.
