    Kyrie, AD, Brown, Murray. Yikes.

    Kawhi too. Can’t watch that series - hate CP3 and PG. Go Bucks.

    Why? Bucks needed Kyrie's injury and Harden to be hobbled, to even stand a chance. This would be a sweep.

    Kyrie is rarely healthy and Harden always disappears in the playoffs regardless of health. I don't see these guys being as lethal next year with KD and Harden being a year older into their 30s. They have a lot of mileage on their wheels.

    yeah, the nets still have two more seasons to contend with this core before they walk. they would've beat the bucks with ease if they were healthy

    If that is the case, we're screwed even more.

    Both teams have high potential and expectations along with high risk (age, mileage, injury concerns). I would rather have our situation (AD younger than Kyrie btw). Those guys are injury prone and highly volatile to screw up their franchise Chemistry

    they have a better team on paper, but i agree with rock--i don't trust the personalities of their stars as much as our guys. kyrie's certifiable, and i think that's problematic. harden is much more invested in his numbers and stature that team success. and kd--though he obviously was great this year--is still post-achilles, which if i were a nets fan would have me constantly concerned.

    anyway, yes, they'll be the favorites again next year and continue to destroy the buyout market as long as they have their stars. i'm very glad they didn't get the trophy this year, though.

    Does digital currency cost against the cap? Time to load up an offer of dogecoin before it's too late.



    We could try this again, if Nets think paying Kuz is worth the hefty tax bill... maybe MDA sees him as a small center.

    Does he play the 3? Or is he mostly a 4 right now?

    feel like he's more of a 3 than a 4, but can play the 4 against smallballers no problem. if you look at lineups, he basically split time at each last year, with his two most frequent lineups (one at the 3, the other at the 4) being fairly equal in impact.
