The Nets are very thin at the front court and their defense is fool's gold. But the biggest problem is Harden. They need MVP Harden to have a chance against good teams. And so far he has been mediocre

You still feel this way despite how bad they look on defense?
I don't want to hear any excuses. Also, it's just one game.
Do you still feel this way now even with the way James Harden has been playing? He doesn’t look like a top 5 player anymore.

No shot.
Harden's not even a top 10 player right now.

Well it looks like the Nets realized they can’t win without him.

Who thought KD would have another MVP season after he tore his muscle in '19 finals? I am the first one to admit I didn't see this coming. I knew he would be back on all star level but not a league leading MVP.
RealGM loves you, Melissa.

I still don't see Nets winning even with Irving playing all away games.

No one saw Harden's decline this year coming, especially the Nets I have to assume. They're not winning anything if Harden continues to play like this and Kyrie can only play away games. The Nets greatest strength is also their biggest weakness, which is if their big three aren't performing at optimal levels or even playing then they have major issues that get exposed as we're seeing.
