    Even though Max you’re right and it’s hard to admit cuz sometimes you just be on the weed lol. But some of the stuff you say about basketball or Sports in general be crazy to say. But Stephen A Smith see the different Insight now than he did before when Kyrie was acting like he wasnt make basketball priority. But now he seeing Kyrie at his full potential like we kno him to be and all 3 of them put their selfish ways to the side especially Harden and Kyrie u hav no choice but to change your opinion cuz it inevitable.

    Even the second threepeat bulls needed to bring in “someone who could fetch the ball”, and thus Rodman was brought on board. I think they have enough pieces to bring in a good rim protector and rebounder. The questions are who would they bring in and WILL nets management go about pursuing such a move?

    Stephen A talks a lot about Kobe, but forgets one of his lessons: Defense and rebounding win championships. This Brooklyn squad is great, but without great defensive pieces on that team, they won’t come off the East.

    The Nets AVERAGE 127 points a game, with harden (10 games)
    That means on a BAD NIGHT, they score 115.
    So to beat them, you have to score 120, every night, just to be in the game
    The real question is what team will OUTSCORE the Nets 4 times in a 7-game series?

    The Nets need 3 things to win the title:
    1. Keep playing for each other. No selfishness. No drama. So far, so good. Keep it up.
    2. They don’t need to play defense all game long, but they do need to get stops in the final 3 minutes
    3. No injuries to the Big 3. If they lose one, they don’t get out of the East

    Nets strategy: “ok boys, just score 140+ every game and you win!”.

    “Coach how do we stop the other team from scoring”. Stephen A interjects “forget about all of dat! You just go and outscore those suckas!”

    I would LOVE to see a team somehow just outscore their opponent for 4 games in a best of 7 series when the pace is slowed down and the opposing team is pushing defense as well as they possibly can. WOULD. LOVE. TO. SEE. THAT. HAPPEN
