    Serious question how do the nets not get to the finals?

    If Irving decides to play hard

    There’s never been a team with three unstoppable offensive players ever in the history of the league

    Seems -300 with no injuries

    Easy- they obliterated their bench. I liked their chances before more.

    They played pretty well yesterday. Just have to see if they can be consistent.

    Arent they barely above .500. They traded levertt for harden? A million bux and 4 1st round draft picks. Lol. Dumbasses. In case someone has not been watching. There are no paying fans and wont be for several years before there are packed houses in the nba

    With this -300 line you imply that they have a 75% chance to make it to the finals (no injuries).

    Perhaps you can start it off with why you think there is a 25% chance they will not?

    2 Reasons: 1)As has been alluded to, can the Big 3 co-exist with each of them knowing they are not "The Man" and 2) who plays defense?

    Durant is option 1 I am sure the others know this

    He also seems like the alpha of the 3

    No defense. Regular season meaningless. Those clowns won't play defense in the playoffs.

    no way these 3 guys can co exist, somebody is going to get less shots and will be unhappy, kyrie is a nut job so trade him to the kings for a bucket of balls

    Easy... they have:

    Irving: mental misfit who can’t lead or carry the load when it matters. SOFT.

    KD: proven coward and front runner. Could sulk at the end of the bench when down by 20. SOFT.

    Harden: LOL. All he wants to do is dribble. SOFT.

    All 3 are SOFT.

    100% agree. They would be better off with a ball distribution PG. Kyrie is going to be whining real fast.

    They will be kicking asses and taking names like we've never seen before. They will blow out ANY team deemed "elite". Buckle up, the Nets are ready to send a message all throughout the league.

    HaHa. I doubt it since Nash was a point guard himself. Maybe decide which "assassin" to use depending on the team they play. If Celtics put Kyrie in to wipe them
    out primarily. If Rockets, well you get it.

    Sacrifice

    According to Chuck. Durant only one that's willing to sacrifice for the team. Irving and Harden only care about their own numbers.

    They'll be in every game that matters, it's all a matter of how many clutch shots durant can hit. He's been the best true scorer for awhile now, especially when the game is on the line

    I would deal Irving.

    I like the way Durant and Harden are meshing already and I don't like either of them.

    2's company, 3's a crowd.

    Only one of them can shoot ball and they all need to defend and rebound.. they will miss, you have to rebound on defense and make them work...bucks bench never showed up in Brooklyn and still almost won... harris green and others hit like 10 threes, that is not going to be the case... If the nets bench doesnt buy that they need to play defense and just pass the ball and not shoot...then there is problem...they will not play defense for harden and kyrie.
