I had already tried to envision a Nets’ championship when I first heard Harden wanted to go to Brooklyn last Dec. I knew my Clippers wouldn’t win. But whatever it takes to prevent the Lakers from winning their billionth title.

I still can’t believe Donald Sterling has outlived Jerry Buss. But Jerry treated women like his Larry O’Briens. More, more, more…

No team in the East can beat the Nets now. However let’s see what happens after the trade deadline.

Bruh we get it, the east has a bunch of teams around 500. Injuries and covid is a thing

If teams from both conferences were re-seated at the end of the season, the East would eventually become competitive

He’s right. Long as the Nets are healthy no one will stop them. They have slaughtered the top teams in the league with ease and haven’t even been at full strength.

It’s definitely the Nets’ conference to lose. Teams are going to figure Philly out unless Simmons miraculously turns into that dude offensively, because idk if you can’t count on Tobias as your #2 come playoff time. And if teams figure out how to stop putting Embiid at the line so much, they’ll struggle. My opinion.
