2729788, honestly thought Philly was closer, but looks like it's Brooklyn

2729814, I hate to say it but Boston. Should be Brooklyn, but Cray-Cray.....

World B. Flat gonna fuck it up for them.
2729954, Now that Harden is here , he’s gonna scurry back to the team asap

He was hoping the nets would plead and cajole and coddle him to come back , bc honestly the nets can’t win without him and KD...but now that’s changed

this dude so incredibly selfish it’s astounding .

I wonder how he’s gonna handle being the third most important player on the team now


>World B. Flat gonna fuck it up for them.
2729840, Philly has the best team, Brooklyn has the best talent.

Unclear if Kyrie even plays, but even if he doesn't, Harden has taken teams with questionable chemistry to the semifinals and finals in the West before, lol. When he's locked in, he's incredibly good on offense... and Durant has that same talent, if not more. I don't really know what Philly does to stop that-- even as I say in the same breath Brooklyn currently doesn't have anyone for Embiid. I imagine that signing a few vet goons to just hack the fuck out of Embiid is an easier path for slowing their star than Philly has of slowing Durant/an engaged Harden tho.

Gun to head... assuming full health, I go Brooklyn by a beard hair. But Philly's *right* there, because I absolutely love how they reconstructed their roster.
2729869, I feel like Brooklyn will miss Levert and Allen

2729870, nets before the trade and nets after, health/availability permitting

it might be ugly but there's no need to overthink it yall.

that trio, if theyre all there, is just entirely too much for anyone out east, and anyone out west but us.

it's one of the leagues biggest failures ever if they have all 3 and dont make the finals.
2729879, who's going to play defense?
Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Jan-14-21 12:26 PM
2729969, i honestly don't think it'll matter in the east
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Fri Jan-15-21 12:15 PM
im far more concerned about how the east will stop them.
2729902, I think we'll be surprised, like last year.
Posted by Dr Claw, Thu Jan-14-21 03:13 PM
this is even a more effed up situation than bubble basketball

convention says Brooklyn. but I just don't see the defense.

PHILLY looks to be the new "Miami"

but I still like Miami.
2729952, I have no predictions this year. shit's basically a rng
