Giannis comes home next year.

We'll play the heat in the second round after they eliminate the Bucks the round before (solidifying he desire to join us and not the heat) and then we'll beat the heat and play in the ecfs vs the nets.

LOL @ proclaiming the NETS finals bound after one pre-season half. Let's see if Durant and Irwing can stay healthy for more than half a season first.

Not even just a preseason half, but they're playing against a Wizards team that is missing their 2 best players and Bertans lol

To be fair before the Achillies Durant was a iron man and often healthy every season...He took extra long to give his injury time to heal so yeah i see him being fine this year...As for Irving he looks really good so far also looks like he been training his body looks more built and stronger...

Now if they are healthy who is beating them in the East this year?....No team in the East has a scorer on Irvings level let alone KD who is on another planet as a scorer....Giannis can score but he is not a "Scorer" Maybe Butler but hes still not on Irvings level as a scorer...

And in the playoffs you need guys that can score the ball on their own...That is why we failed so badly last year cause we lost our scorer in Kawhi and the Nets have 2 of the best Scorers we seen in this generation added with a deep team

1) The Nets are going against the Wizards bench squad...Beal, Westbrook and Bertans aren't playing, lol.

2) Durant hasn't been an iron man. In 2015 he missed almost the entire season, in 2017 he missed 20 games and in 2018 he missed 15 games. He's been fairly injury prone since 2015, but was lucky to play on the most stacked team of all time for 3 years where he didn't have to play heavy minutes or overexert himself. Kyrie is also injury prone, a bad defender, and not a good facilitator.

Question, do you think think the current version of Durant and Kyrie is better than Durant and the 2016 version of Westbrook? If Durant and prime Westbrook couldn't win, what makes you think that Durant and Kyrie are the automatic favorites?

I personally think either Lebron or Kawhi are winning but thats me.

I'm just saying what Durant and Kyrie did today was meaningless. They went against a bunch of rookies and sophomores.

Delusional...Raptors are regular season gods, they're projected by RPM to finish 2nd in the east again.

its not just todays game. IF KD is healthy, and thats a big if, well hes a MVP/2 time Finals MVP. Plus as much as no one likes Kyrie for all his non sense he spews, hes still a really good all star level player. The big thing will also be how quickly they gel together. They have no experience playing together.
