I think the Nets have too much talent to be bad. All of these elite athletes have too much pride to mentally check out to lose. With their talent, the Nets should be vying for the #1 seed in the East. But with the turmoil, they may be in the fringe of at least having home court advantage in the first round. Unless there are injuries, the Nets stand a very good chance of being elite again.
I'm sad to say, you can see it getting very ugly for the Nets but the amount of WembyTank teams is going to keep them afloat regardless of how mediocre they are. They'll end up winning just enough to have a chance and not totally implode, provided Kyrie doesn't join the Proud Boys or whatever.
They have not impressed- they are still the Durant show. Let Durant have tons of usage he will wear down-
Former players taking aim at Nets, both directly and subtly “I played with some stars, like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and I have to admit that it was quite difficult because the focus was not the team, but more the individual performances of the individual players,” Dragic told a newspaper in his home country of Slovenia in mid-July after he signed with the Bulls. ”New York was kind of crazy. I’m happy to be here.” Bruce Brown told reporters at the Nuggets Media Day at the end of September. And this week, Blake Griffin in talking to Boston writers made it clear — without mentioning the Nets by name — that he believes Celtics vibes are better than Nets vibes. https://www.netsdaily.com/2022/10/9...s-taking-aim-at-nets-both-directly-and-subtly
Kyrie Irving saying the Team doesn't play hard. Kevin Durant on the Team after Miami Loss - "Nothing"
I think they will continue to win and lose back and forth, and Irving take two weeks off because he needs to find himself, Durant will ask for a trade and Simmons will say he is hurt and cannot play at this time…..off course they are going to split up….there is no TEAM in Kylie Irving.
I hope they will fall apart so badly. It would be a dream come true to get Wemby via their pick. I also genuinely dislike most of their guys. KD with the burner account. Flat earther Irving. Russian owner (?). Crappy grey court. Etc.
Don't forget crazy stupid anti-vax conspiracies he shared and calling vaccine mandates oppression worse than slavery and the Holocaust.
