    kyrie isnt much of a playmaker and isn't focused on passing or creating so his time on ball is going to be more similar to a very high usage 2 guard than a pg.

    nets are gonna need to make another move , or get some guys in the buyout market. They need a plus defender at guard and probably another big guy.

    Nets offense, while still good is missing a ton without Durant.

    Durant's movement, quick post, curls and pin downs are pretty much the only motion aside from pick and roll in this offense.

    I can see Harden deferring to Durant, but will he want to keep deferring to Kyrie like this?

    Harden + Kyrie + scrubs isn't scaring anybody. This team is a Durant injury away from being in serious, serious trouble, and I love it.

    Luck has to be a skill.. Lebron is going to walk into a couple more championships before he teams up with his son.

    Ol Bron is going to tear through this Nets team as constructed if another team in the East doesn't get to it before...

    And Davis too.

    Good thing for the Nets is that they will have an off-season to fill out their team.

    I wonder where the Nets fall on advanced defensive metrics. They look truly as bad as can be.

    I think playing with Kyrie makes Harden worse. It takes the ball out of his hands, which is the only way he can be really successful. D'antoni knows this I'm sure, but good luck telling this to Kyrie.

    There rebounding blows, and they have no depth. But id assume next year they grab vets they need if it doesnt work out to atleast get 1 title.. Hey they did beat the Bucks.

    Durant plus kyrie OR Harden plus harris, green, shamet etc might make it to the finals due to being so great offensively.

    But kyrie and Harden plus the same players minus Durant will be lucky to get out of the first round.

    I mean, aren't all teams "injury to [insert best player here] away from being in trouble?"
