Are the Nets clear-cut Championship favorites at this point?

[Dr. Lemon]

With Kyrie coming back at least part-time now.

They have a strong group of role players, have been playing top-10 defense all year, and you would have to assume Harden will start to round into form now that he's at least begun to shed some of that dirty bulk.

Oh, and they have the BITW.

This guy.

I don't know whether the addition of Kyrie is something good or bad for them.

[coastalmarker99]

I don't know whether the addition of Kyrie is something good or bad for them.

As long as it keeps Durant and Harden healthy and well-rested for the postseason it is good for the Nets.

[John8204]

No I would say at this point it's The Warriors. The Nets are going to have to beat two of the Bulls, Heat, and Bucks and while they can do it. Harden and Kyrie are both liabilities in the playoffs

[pandiani17]

As long as it keeps Durant and Harden healthy and well-rested for the postseason it is good for the Nets.

But he can be a distraction with his antics, his presence could be harmful in the long run.

[SATAN]

There's no excuse for bEsT pLaYeR iN tHe WoRlD Durant not to win a chip with two hall of famers...Isn't that right Manny?

This is how it works, right? :confusedshrug:

[SaintzFury13]

Lol no.

[Full Court]

Maybe favorites, but I don't know about clear cut. Nobody should be surprised if the Suns, Bulls, or Warriors win it.

[RRR3]

I would die laughing if Steph beats Durant in the finals.

[Manny98]

Nobody's beating us when healthy, NOBODY
btw for the people acting like the Nets can't play defense, we currently rank 5th in the NBA in defensive rating

[noonereal]

No one will beat the Net's if Kyrie plays and injuries leave them alone.

Heck, the team with the best record in the east would be essentially their second team. Enough said.

Okay but the odds that the Nets manage to stay healthy is what? You've also got two other huge mitigating factors...Kyrie's desire for attention and the officiating on James Harden's play.

When the Nets were up 2-0 on the Bucks last year literally nobody would’ve predicted them to win just one game the rest of the playoffs :lol

My point being, after last playoffs clusterfck of injuries and covid still affecting lineups to this day, there’s no such thing as a clear cut title favorite.

[pandiani17]

I see them Nets fans very confident here :oldlol:

[ClipperRevival]

The Nets haven't been dominant at all this year. Harden seems to have lost a step and is no longer a dominant force, which is a huge factor even if Kyrie is back.

I also see GSW, Suns and LAL in the mix. Nets don't stand out to me.

They have a top 15 player in the league which if his dumbass decides to get vaxxed, will turn a top 4 team into the most stacked team in the league by far.

[ClipperRevival]

Lakers?

:roll::roll::roll::roll:

I just don't think you can completely discount them come playoff time. Not with Bron and AD (when AD's right mentally, he's a DOMINANT force). Plus, they've never been really healthy as a team.

Yeah, exactly...Allen is more valuable for the team.

They should go for McCollum...Harden is fat and washed, McCollum's long term health is a question mark...it's a fair swap.

Having Harden on the team isn't a bad thing until there's a close game in the 4th quarter and he starts turning the ball over or launching ugly step back 3s when the games matter :lol

Yeah, you keep wishing that your "they were only babies" Monday morning quarterbacking works. :oldlol:

The fact is that at the dawn of the 2012 NBA Finals, people who analyze NBA basketball for a living, as well as people who aren't emotionally attached to the NBA, any of its teams or players and are only concerned with the cold, statistical probability of which team will win in order to generate a higher monetary profit margin for themselves both picked the Thunder to win that finals by a decent margin:

https://images4.imagebam.com/67/41/ac/ME5TZI9_o.jpg

https://images4.imagebam.com/46/14/98/ME5TZJR_o.png

Also, the fact that the Thunder completely destroyed the veteran-heavy two previous champions Mavericks and Lakers 8-1 overall during that playoff run, as well as beat another veteran-heavy Spurs team whose main players had won 3-4 championships throughout their careers doesn't help your "they were only babies" cause one bit.

And LMAO @ 2012 Wade = Prime Wade, 2012 Bosh = Prime Bosh

[Manny98]

Wade was 29 and Bosh was 27 so yes they were in their primes still

Meanwhile KD was 23, Westbrook was 22 and Harden was 21 ,:roll:

Imagine being underdog against a bunch of kids :roll:

How a player is supposed to perform at a particular age doesn't reflect how a player actually plays at that age. And at those ages Wade and Bosh were clearly in decline.
Also, Westbrook was 23 (and closer to 24 than 22) and Harden was 22 (and closer to 23 than 21), so nice mislead there.
Not to mention completely excluding All-defensive 1st team, a handful of votes away from DPOY Serge Ibaka.

Keep posting your laughing emoticons of insecurity, thinking they'll save you, and I'll keep posting my proof that the Thunder were considered the favorites among both NBA analysts and Vegas bookies, as well as my proof of them being capable beating veteran-heavy teams (Lakers, Mavs and Spurs). You addressed neither of those points.

Wade finished top 10 in MVP voting every year from 2011-2013 and was arguably the best player on the 2011 Heat especially in the playoffs, yes he was on the backend of his prime but he was still a prime superstar who was tiers a better player than Harden and Westbrook combined

Talent wise 2012 Heat > 2012 Thunder easily

And what have I got too be insecure about, KD isn't even my favorite player, I think LeBron is better than KD overall I just love to rub it in that KD is 2-1 in the finals against him because I know it gets you Bron stans all hot and bothered :oldlol:

Wade sucked balls (18.8 on .405) in the 2011 eastern conference finals, and in the 2013 playoffs Wade averaged 15.9 ppg. James Harden and Russell Westbrook both finished higher than Wade in MVP voting in 2013. Wade's peak was the 2008-09 season and ever since then he was declining every season, little by little.

The two series KD won over LeBron his team was the overwhelming favorite both times. The only thing that happened is LeBron preventing his ultra-stacked team from going 16-0 in the playoffs.
The series LeBron won over KD his team was the underdog among both NBA analysts and Vegas bookies.

You can keep on "rubbing this in" if you want.

Big difference.

Allen didn't join until a year later...that was my bad.

I'd argue Russ was better when he wasn't padding his stats and Ibaka has been rock solid throughout his career.

Lebron > Durant
Wade > Russ
Bosh < Harden
Haslem < Ibaka
Battier < Perkins
Chalmers > Sefolosha
Mourning < Fisher

[TheGoatest]

Oh right. It's not like Lebron was described as having a "meltdown" or had his play described as a "disaster" in the 2011 Finals. The biggest Lebron nut hugger here is here to tell us what happened :roll:



Mark Cuban destroys LeBron hater 2011 finals circle-jerking automatically directed to discrediting LeBron and not crediting the Mavericks, especially at the 04:14 mark of this video:

[Spurs m8]

Eh...if you talk best player, big two or big three but full roster I'd go Thunder

Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Allen, Battier, Chalmers, Haslem vs Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Perkins, Fisher, and Robinson

God you are a fvcking dumb cvnt

[Manny98]

Let's see...

James, LeBron:

17.8 ppg on .478
7.2 rpg
6.8 apg
1.7 spg
0.5 bpg

Nope. Not him to blame. Could've played better, but overall numbers definitely not bad enough to be blamed for Miami's loss.
Those are just stats they don't tell much tbh

LeBron had the worst chokejob ever by a all time great that series, he was absolutely terrible compared to his standards of what you'd expect

Only delusional LeBron stans would think that LeBron actually played well that series or he didn't deserve any blame :facepalm

What about 2018? They said he deserves to get fmvp even if he got swept in the finals rt.

They would be clear-cut if Kyrie was vaccinated and playing.

Or not playing :roll::roll::roll:

[AirBonner]

From clear cut champs to battling it out for 8th seed

[AlternativeAcc.]

From clear cut champs to battling it out for 8th seed

They still have the 3rd best odds to win the title (not that Vegas odds mean much)

Imagine if Simmons was actually playing

[AirBonner]

Yes

[Vino24]

No excuses they are the favorites

[AirBonner]
