Are the Brooklyn Nets the next NBA champs?

No. Sadly, the imminent nationwide lockdown will be instituted soon and everything (I mean EVERYTHING) will be CANCELLED until fall of 2022 at the earliest.

THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THREADS FOR YOU, GTFO OF MINE

?????????????

Not if they can't beat the Cavs. They're losing to them right now

They will be lucky to get out of the East...and 'Bron would crush them in the finals if they did.

They cant stop Sexton.

Nash was outcoached by Bickerstaff.

They will be dreadful defensively. Jordan is a shadow of his former self, and Kyrie and Harden are turnstiles even when they make an effort. They're not going to get stops in a tight game.

It wouldn't surprise me at all (if they won the finals), but I think we need more time to see how this works.

So far, they have won two close games (albeit without Kyrie) and then lost to a mediocre Cavs team. Their big 3 all played well last night, but I'll only be impressed when they start blowing teams out. And the minutes...Last night against the Cavs each of the big 3 played 48-50 minutes, and since there was 2OT that means they were each playing about 40 minutes in regulation. The point of having a big 3 (during the regular season anyway) is so they can share the burden of carrying the team. Seems like a poor coaching choice.

Anyway, time will tell on this one. I still like the Lakers' chances.

So...about to be 0-2 against the Cavs this week. Currently down by 14 with 2 minutes remaining.

Without KD for this one, but still.

Something that I noticed with the nba is that a lot of players and teams dog it. These guys are lazy AF and complacent once they get their money. That's all they care about anymore. The culture is being passed on by current pros to the younger guys with a trickle down effect. That's why I do not bet on nba unless for entertainment, because you never know who is dogging it and who will be motivated that particular night.

Also, there's less incentive to win to get home advantage this season as there are no fans and no hostile crowds to play against. The 7th- 10th ranked teams play in to get to the playoffs. A team like the Nets will spend this season learning how to play together, figure out who their rotation players are and get ready for the playoffs.

76ers are better.

Don't be stupid - Of course they are

Shut up shut up shut up shut ip

3 primadonnas who don’t play defense? They need solid gritty role players and more depth.

If I already had KD and Kyrie I would rather have a guy like Andre Drummond, Pascal Siakam, etc. than JH

Sixers will take the east.

I agree with most of your post however Durant is a good defender.

They don't seem to be complimentary in terms of roles. Also each one of those three have had problems with past teammates. I am guessing there might be some team chemistry issues.

I am rooting for them in my team crashes.
