He is an upgrade from DJ DJ can be DJ of old for 10~15 minutes a night Drummond for the other minutes I fricking forgot Shumpert were there Rocket River
It doesn't matter on this team if he's bad on offense. If he regains that elite defense he will play in the playoffs. That will be huge when the game inevitably slows down and they need good defenders to throw out there. I don't think he will be that defensive player he was however. So it's a moot point.
sure it does. bc it means ones less person that needs to be accounted for. now that player can go shade and make things difficult for someone else without even having to worry about someone as sorry as roberson. There's no if. Roberson has been done for years. that was clear a long time ago. the way the game is now is even that much worse for him. its over. he's irrelevant on any opposing team report
I disagree. No team in NBA history has had this much firepower. They can easily play small with KD, Roberson, Harris, Kyrie and Harden for spurts much like GSW did and be successful on both the defensive end and offensive end. You can trap all you want because you will still have 1 of the big 3 in a 1 vs 1 situation. This isn't a normal offensive team.
GS with curry, KD, and Klay had just as much firepower and this was before any injuries any of them were dealing with. clear prime ages Roberson would just stink it up. Cause hes literally a negative on 1 end of the floor. and he sucks at free throws
Harden & Curry is a wash. KD is KD but Kyrie is a superior offensive player to Klay. Klay isn't in the same league when it comes to putting the ball on the floor and finishing at the rim which would be needed in this situation. He's elite at that.
Kyrie has 1 on 1 offensive moves. but Klay is a scoring machine. Just because he did it mostly by just being a straight sniper doesn't make him such a less superior offensive player. i mean he can drop 60 pts. when has kyrie ever done that. oh never. A bucket is a bucket. Klay can go off offensively and get pts just like kyrie can albeit in two different ways
The Nets big three interms of sheer firepower is better then the warriors. harden is just better overall offensive player then Curry. Whereas Curry was a great scorer and shooter, harden is also a great all time scorer but light years better playmaker then Steph. Just a better overall offensive packaged player. Klay dosent have Kyries offensive firepower. Great off the ball player but Kyrie is just insane scorer . KD is KD.. I’m not talking about fit or defense. just sheer firepower
its a toss up on whose is better. I clearly said they had just as much firepower, not who's better. GS played completely different and are clearly established as a historic team/dynasty. If you want to believe this team is as good after what 6 games total played with there big 3, then that's you funny how klay can go off for 60 in 3 quarters and kyrie has never done that in a game but is this insane scorer. again bucket is a bucket. if kyrie wants to work twice as hard for 1, kudos to him. Klay can go just as nuts at any moment as kyrie in terms of putting points on the board regardless of how it gets put up
And the Nets role players shoots much better than the Warrior's. If the net put Green as the starting 5, all their starting players are shooting over 50% from the filed, and over 40% from three, which is insane. Any player who can shoot like that is considered elite, the Nets entire starting lineup can do that. The difference maker between the Nets and the GSW is Draymond, who is a DPOY but can't shoot. Iggy is also more defense than offense.
The warriors were a better team. That’s not really up for dispute. It’s that the Nets big three is just insane. Probably the greatest collection of offensive trio ever.
Right exactly. I didn't even mention Harris but he's absolutely elite from 3. That's why I said this team has the most firepower in the history of the league. So having a dude out there like Roberson (If he regains that elite defensive ability and that's a big if) isn't going to matter like on a normal team because you still have shooters and elite offensive talent at the other 4 positions during a small ball stretch. It won't matter if you try and trap or double one of them and leave Roberson open because one of KD or Kyrie or Harden will still have a 1vs 1 which is hell for a defender plus the potential for a drive and kick to Harris. GSW was an amazing team but they just don't have what this team has and that's why having a dude out there who can only defend won't hurt them. Especially if he defends at an elite level. Bruce Brown is sort of playing that role now. To be fair he's much better than Roberson on the offensive end though. But he's far from even being a good offensive player.
@ me when this Nets team is set in stone as a historic dynasty. 6 games played together and not even winning all of those with their big 3 doesn't tell me much but apparently for other folks it does. the game isn't won on paper, never was
