Harden, KD, and Kyrie, and only one ball, this has disaster written all over it
I doubt Kyrie will be with the team too much longer. What I don't get he put so much effort to get Durant, now
he's being insubordinate.
Pacers made out best here. Lavert will be key for them....
Lakers/Brooklyn in the Finals.
A classic.
Who is playing defense on that Brooklyn team?
The pointspread on the Nets-Knicks game crashed from an opening price of Nets -6 to a closing price of Nets -2.5 when Brooklyn's Caris LeVert was involved in the blockbuster four-team trade.
The house locked up the money when the Nets posted a 116-109 win.
Quite honestly Harden would have avoided a lot of issues had he ended up in Philly despite their ridiculed fans likely not wanting him. Harden is so out of basketball shape he's starting to look like Chocolate Claus, which is saying world's worse than the late Chocolate thunder. His demeanor, work ethic, defense and a measly 14-15 shots per game, coupled with his description of the Rockets, "we're just not good enough" comments and attitude made it all but irrelevant. At least in Philly he might be the piece they need playing for a Championship coach without going through the "no it's my team" approach amidst the lack of Brooklyn discipline with all the makings of a selfish ego triangle.
Not a big NBA guy, couldn't name anyone other than the 3 mentioned here......
I don't watch it these days.
From what I recall though both KD and Harden played above average defense? No?
When I did watch always thought Harden was underrated for his defense. KD was a stud defensively, in the AD arena.

Interesting possibility I didn’t think about. Wonder if Kyrie played his last game in Brooklyn.Did they make this move under the belief Irving is toast? Is he done playing basketball?
Fitting that Steve Nash is the coach of this three-headed offensive monster in Brooklyn.
Nash never played a minute of defense during his 18-year NBA career.
Last time I checked defense still matters, slim chance this team wins a title
the nba is so boring, these marxist players hold the owners hostage. The nba fan base has less than 1pct White Republicans. They are activists and nobody likes them
We all used to say that about the Warriors until they became unstoppable. All it takes is about league average defending which is where they got to and then they just blitzed you on offense. I think with Green and Jordan they can get close to that situation. Easy to say they don't defend, but its regular season. Elite players bring the D in the postseason, let's see what happens. I do agree Nash is in a tough spot and not the guy you want to ask to put together defense, but just one defensive assistant can put together a basic system and then its all about do these guys want it enough to put an effort in that part of the game to be league average. And if they don't do it this year, they'll find cheap parts to improve on what they don't have. Hard part is getting the stars together, easy part is finding veterans with only a few skills to join on minimum contracts.
