Nets look like the best team in the playoffs right now.

Of course they do, they have an easy road because nobody in the East is equipped to compete with them.

I saw so many people say the Bucks would take them out though

I wouldn't say this version of the Nets is particularly loaded as contenders go either. Outside of KD, Kyrie, and Harris, no-one stands out in a vacuum.

I can't believe people thought the Bucks would win with a healthy Harden.

They look completely outmatched without Harden.

i think nobody expected them to be this trash on offense to be fair

People thought the Nets wouldn't play defense in the playoffs for whatever reason.

And why were people so confident the Bucks offense wouldn't go through lulls?

there are lulls and there is being locked down by Nicolás claxton and Blake griffin

Don't forget their third star.

Wishful thinking. I thought bucks were the only team with a chance so now....

[Basileus777]

The Nets bench outscored a Giannis and Jrue lineup by 3....

[TheGOATRises007]

Griffin is looking like an all-star out there

[GSP]

Nets defense looks great without Harden as long as Kd and Claxton are on the floor. Thats gonna be a scary defensive frontcourt for years if they stay healthy and Claxton is only 22 so hes gonna learn more of the nuances of defense

[bondom34]

I've become numb to Brooklyn running through it lol. And the inevitable hot takes and discourse it begins.

TBH the more I think about it there's plenty I'll look forward to as well, though I've generally always enjoyed the regular season a little more I think. Just something about all the teams playing, seeing young guys develop, and having a bunch of games on every night I like.

Me 2 months ago.

Me now realizing I don't really need to bother watching much more of the postseason and being disappointed.

[Dr Positivity]

I would respect the Nets if they were just this Kyrie+Durant team but adding Harden on top of this is a joke

[parsnips33]

Even with no Harden lol.

I've made peace with it, it's gonna be funny to see reactions from all the most annoying fans who hate KD Ky and Harden for absolutely no reason. Somehow a team full of overrated wimps and headcases is about to embarrass the whole league

[Fadeaway_J]

Not seeing the game but he's blown right past my expectations for him in this series.

Even without Harden, the only reason I don't despise this Nets team is because they've got Blake. KD and Kyrie are unlikeable enough on their own.

They're not very difficult players to hate honestly.

"Grasping at straws" isn't adequate to describe Bud going to a zone against the Nets. They look done.

[MisterHibachi]

Nets are up 24, but even in such a desperate situation, Bud has only played Giannis 18 minutes in the first half. With a massive lead, Nash is still pushing KD and Kyrie to 20 minutes. Why does Bud insist on playing Giannis on a minutes restriction like this

[falcolombardi]

i wonder how shell shocked bucks fans are right now

it looked like they had broke a metaphoricsl Wall with miami then this happens

[GSP]

Top 3 players to me are Jokic, Kd and Kawhi and i think its a noticeable tier for this season

next is prolly like Luka, Steph, Embiid, Dame and Harden in some order prolly Bron somewhere but that Suns series wasnt great

If this series continues like this i think there has to be some retroactive evaluation of Giannis.........

[Basileus777]

Lopez is completely unplayable in the series. Nets are getting a wide open shot every single time they throw a screen at him. Bucks need to just stick with small lineups their bigs are useless against the Nets.

Tucker hasn't been much better either, Nets are basically ignoring him on defense.

Fair lol, but a lotta people hate first then look for a reason after
