That's what I'm thinking, but also wondering if his body can handle it. Can claxton defend at all? I have no idea.

I'm more curious to see what their opponents score against that All-Star Game level "defense."

But I'll say this: With Durant & Harden, they don't even need to be able to rely on Kyrie.
Previously I saw the team as one that might be able to hit high highs, but was unlikely to be able to maintain it through a regular and post-season.
Now things just got a hell of a lot easier, and it's not hard at all to see them contending for titles this year and going forward.
We'll see how they all mesh, and I still consider the Lakers to be the favorites if they're healthy, but it won't be a shock at all if the Nets get to the finals, and then we'll just see who's actually suited up for the opposition.
Eh, cousins is worse.

This seems right to me. Expanding it out a bit, I think the Nets are the last team Philly would want to see in a series. I think Boston can basically matchup well with everyone.

He shouldn't ever be on a roster where he's the best 5, but he may be the Nets best 5.

I'm someone who has been very negative on Cousins for a long time, but I haven't heard of him to anything to betray his teammates the way each of Kyrie, Durant, and Harden have done. Feel free to expound though, maybe there's something I'm not thinking of.

Why do you say that about the Sixers? I figure they have a really good shot against the Nets, with Embiid being able to dominate in the paint, and Simmons to play on KD, and a bunch of other + defenders in the lineups.

Why would philly not want the nets? Don't they basiclaly get the same boost the bucks do?

I think Giannis can exploit Brooklyn's defense in a way Embiid just can't. Would be happy to be proven wrong (I love Embiid) but I just think Giannis is on a higher level offensively than anybody in Philly right now
