2021 Brooklyn Nets looking eerily like the 2011 Miami Heat

[SpursFanSinceNovember2017]

It's not just about talent but skill. This Nets team is better than 2012 Thunder because their two best players Kyrie and Durant are elite shooters.

CP3 would be the closes comparison to Dirk.

Utah is probably the closest conceptually to Dallas in the sense of
Gobert >> Chandler
Conley >> old Kidd
Utah's ignorant 3pt shooting ability =/ > Dallas

But can Donovan channel his non-existent 10+ years of playoff failure and choke jobs to channel ultra instinct (Bubble Donovan) like Dirk did?

Can Ingles, Bog, Clarkson match the trollish 'tensity of Marion, Stevenson, and Barea?

Idk..

How you forget Jason Terry?

I guess Clarkson would be Terry

Which leaves Barea unaccounted for



But nah

Not saying it's a 1 to 1 comparison but just humoring this whole 2011 redux that we're in

No way any team is besting KD/Kyrie/HArden 4 out of 7. All 3 require a double team to slow down. Only shot is if lakers (AD and Bron go super saiyan inside the paint). Clips I think they need to have a record setting shooting series to beat the nets and even then KD/Kyrie/Harden all better shooters than PG and KL

So you'll excuse a team with tons of talent from choking simply because they don't play well together? Part of the game is learning how to play cohesive basketball with the talent you are given. If a team is loaded with talent they have no excuse but to be good. One of the reasons I refrained from saying much about the post-Harden trade Nets until now is because I understand it takes time to be build cohesion when you put 3 superstars together. But just like the Heat got it together in the middle of the 2011 season, the Nets look to be putting things together now. Thus they have no excuse like the 2011 Heat. They must win the title or its a failure of a season.

If the big 3 are playing and the Nets don’t win the championship they have to win the title or this season is a total failure. I don’t know how anyone is disagreeing.
