Not if they don't get swept first by there own coach with playing kd all these damn minutes
True...

But yeah, last night's L aint deter me, I like what I saw considering it's the first time they've all started together. They'll work out the kinks, and when they do it's a wrap, they getting the chip THIS year. Watch. I'd like to see Harden resort back to his PG duties and let Kyrie fukk around with the 2 more on some old AI shyt...but we'll see.

This team's ceiling will be determined by defense. When you have a big 3 like this, you are basically depending on them for everything. These guys will get buckets and its' gonna be some :ooh: highlights. The question is can/will they consistently lock in on defense. That said, Nash ain't gonna follow Antoni's example and run these dudes into the ground before March is he? Minutes should be staggered. One of them on the floor at all times. Nobody playing more than 34/35 minutes a night.

granted it’s just one game but this is exactly why I didn’t want d’amnphoni on the nets...ppl said he was “just” the assistant/offense coach when I complained but his “stink”/brand of basketball is gonna be all over the general coaching and this team

This squad will go through a coaching change before they actually win a chip, mark my words.

That's how shyt used to be. Wasn't nothing wrong with it neither.
Because in the past there wasn't remotely as much movement, especially on the defensive side of the court. The game is far harder on bodies now than it was back then, that's why you're seeing so many more injuries despite much better training and medical staff.



Over reactions as usual. This isn’t a finished product. They need a backup center and a defensive wing.
Interesting how back in the day a Big 3 was supposed to be enough by itself. :jbhmm:

His first 2 years he really was that bad. End of last year his shooting flipped. Now he's a legit weapon and not a complete liability on D.
At the beginning of his rookie year he was that bad. After that to say he was that bad is just a casual narrative.

You right alot of times these dudes use to be able to hide on defense and conserve energy. Now you can't hide. Prime example like lastnight kyrie had to guard Sexton because you couldnt hide him.

Still amazed by the way Sexton stepped up.

Young dude going against arguably 3 of the top 5 players in the league. Veterans that have won championships and played in some huge games and moments.

Cooked all of them with extreme confidence. Dude gone be a beast in this league:wow:

those trades gave cle a better bench squad. I kind've get Prince, but trading Allen was a mistake that they will feel late in the season on into the offs
