Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry has been one of the more dependable players for the Nets ever since he arrived in the Ben Simmons trade. He has had some big scoring/shooting games for Brooklyn when called upon and he brought some of that explosiveness on Friday, but it just wasn’t the Nets’ night.
In Friday’s 131-87 beatdown at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, Curry had arguably the best performance on the Nets as he had 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field along with three assists. However, he, like the rest of his team, had a negative score in the classic plus/minus stat because of how lopsided this game was.
Curry was essentially the only player who had anything going as even though guard Cam Thomas had 22 points, it came on 6-of-15 shooting from the field. For those who watched the game from beginning to end, it looked like the Nets never made it out of the locker room to actually play the game. Curry explained after the embarrassing loss that it wasn’t for lack of effort:
“I don’t think it’s a lack of a will. I mean, we played hard, we gave a lot of effort, tried to do the right things. We got to figure out each other, get to know each other, and get better every single day. We got to work together to create offense as a team. And, I mean, it’s kind of got a whole new group in this locker room. So, we’re figuring out as we go. A lot of different roles, roles have changed over the past couple of weeks. So, it’s just part of the situation we’re all in this locker room. We got to do it together to get out of it.”
