BOOK IT - Wizards Upset Nets If They Meet in Playoffs 

Post#1 » by BallinBug » Wed Apr 21, 2021 12:49 am

I'm making this prediction now - if the Nets meet the Wizards in the first round it's going to be a 6 or 7 game upset. Westbrook is a monster when facing KD, the Wizards have one of the best records against top opponents in the NBA (seriously, check it), and have already demolished the Nets in the regular season. They have 3 strong centers that can score inside, and WB is one of the best players at feeding interior players. Him and Beal are going to assault the open paint non stop, trading efficient inside shots for the high variability perimeter ones by the Nets. Even if the nets are healthy they're going down to this Wiz team.

All the Nets need is one of Harden or KD to play and they’ll wreck the Wizards. They don’t even need 2 of the big 3. :lol:

Y'all bashing OP but his logic is sound and crazier things have happened.

And something OP didn't mention is that this is the first postseason for this Nets team. Lots of unpredictability there.

Finally, if the Nets aren't healthy, as has been the case this year, the Wizards have an even greater chance.

Wizards two wins against the Nets are by a combined 2 points.

I don't think you understand what the word "demolish" means.

I think it has about a 10% chance of happening. Never say 0 with injuries. However, i don't want to vote 0, because there is a reasonable non zero chance, so I voted 25%.

It's more likely the Wizzers quit after 3 and forfeit game 4... I understand the false confidence given that Brooklyn doesn't take them seriously but there's a very good reason why Brooklyn feels the way that they do about the Wizz...
