Mil and Philly are notably better without KD and there's nothing wrong with it. I have more of an issue with where these lists have BK finishing. No one besides those two are better but I still see Indy and Boston. Indy upgraded but isn't better and Oladipo will miss a chunk of the year. Boston goes from Kyrie/Horford to Kemba/Kanter but they're a shoe in for 3rd. Idc about chemistry, that's too big a drop off.
None of it matters, Nets will finish 3rd and take a 2nd round out. The most important thing is progression. It took huge step getting in the postseason, keep up the momentum and go another round and I'm happy. The big win will come, no other team can say they have a KD in the back pocket.
We agree on Kyrie though. Being the sensory type dude he is, he should have a strong year being happy and back home.
Nets will win thru attrition. They are DEEEEEP.
They can go 12 deep.
Kyrie and Levert 2 fast herky jerky attacking guards with 2 lights out shooters on the wings in Harris and Prince, Allen or DJ as the trailers.
I don’t care about seeding as much as the Nets are well rested and in shape for the playoffs. 50 wins is fine with me.
I saw something last night in Claxton. He’s gonna make the regular team no G league for him.
His foot speed for his size is insane! He was sticking guards from the perimeter and blocking shots and deflecting passes as a ROOKIE!
I’m gonna reach here but he’s the type of player you need to slow down Giannis and AD types. He’s light in the ass but he doesn’t play like it. 20lbs on him and he’s gonna crush.
