They had a better season, but this duo is better. All they needed was a coach. If they stay healthy, nobody is going to stop them.

So what do we think of the nets? SRS vs weak opposition isn't mind blowing but they keep winning and winning and winning.
its my last message in this thread, but I just admit, that all the people, casual and analytical minds, more or less have consencus who has the weight of a rubberized duck. And its not JaivLLLL

It helps that the league is full of a bunch of 20 year olds that are still learning to play and fill out their bodies

great showing from the "supporting cast". This team could do something if they could just figure out how to get Kyrie to stop being a tsundere

Pretty clear downgrade in talent but maybe cutting out a lockeroom cancer(who somehow doesn't reliably make teams better) might be worthwhile?

In a season with no favourites, now the league has one.

That said, odd to me that the Nets did not push for Ayton. I guess they can have a fire-sale this offseason? All these roleplayers sitting around with no one to support (apologies to Cam Thomas).

Claxton is probably going to have a better career than Ayton imo. I'd make an Ayton trade by tomorrow if I was Phoenix for more depth.
