I'm going to reserve judgement on the Nets defense until the playoffs. This is their first game together so they are going to go through their adjustment phase but how they look going into and throughout the playoffs is the big question.

I feel bad for Allen - kid deserves to start on a decent team. Being benched in CLE of all places has to be the worst.

If he's not getting to the line 10+ times a game he's kinda not special anymore.

Trade Kyrie for a stud big man

I think they will figure out the offense...but what made the heat so good was all 3 of those guys played elite defense. So even when they were figuring out how to play together they could lock in on that end and play transition basketball.

All 3 nets stars play no defense (especially harden and kyrie) and Jordan is completely shot and provides little rim protection at this point in his career.

Nets played much better with someone like Bruce Brown getting minutes...but with a healthy kyrie and harden where are the minutes for him?

Plus guarding the best perimeter player. Kyrie is def a better fit skillwise with Embiid. Too bad he's bat **** crazy
