The 2013 Nets = The 2012 Lakers

[bagelred]

Although I didn't know the 2012 Lakers would fall THAT hard and be that much of a disaster, I didn't like the meshing of the Howard/Nash/Gasol/Kobe superstars. And it was as bad as bad could be.

That's what I'm feeling for this Williams/Johnson/Pierce/Garnett/Lopez/Terry combo. Looks good on paper. Won't work.

Integrating a totally new team together, with a rookie head coach, and 3 core pieces over the age of 36. Two of them almost ready to retire with tons of career minutes under their belt. Not feeling it.

Sorry Nets fans, you gave up 3 first round picks for nothing.


Knicks > Nets ......again.

Nets, first round exit.....again.

Coming from a Knicks fan, I wouldn't take this analysis lightly. Knicks fans are experts on what it takes to be a first round exit team.

What's their bench look like?

I think they are better than the knicks this year also

[Optimus Prime]

When Deron breaks his leg in game 2 of the season, Pierce tears his Achilles, KG whines and pouts all year then hurts his shoulder, and they diss the GOAT coach for the Pringles mascot...only then will the 2013 Nets approach the 2012 Lakers.

lol i agree on this..
nets are over hyped atm.. i highly doubt everyone will stay healthy thorughout the season

at best my prediction is they are a first (most likely) or second round exit team

Except for last year.

If your entire post was just made so you can say Nets < Knicks, you're far more insecure than I already thought you were. And from a scale from one to Pau Gasol, you're at Andrea Bargnani.

Okay the things you are leaving out. They brought in Nash to help run the show as the team's pg. the swapped an all star center for a center that had back problems the season prior. Dwight and Nash were supposed to be major factors. Dwight was but he was recovering from back surgery. And Nash was just a total bust.

The nets on the other hand brought in two player that produced really well on the celtics do be nothing more than helpers to their already big three.
Deron-Joe-Brook won 49 games with Reggie Evans and Gerald Wallace(his worst pro season since his rookie year, maybe worse) this time they added two floor spacers.

They won't compare to the lakers last season. They will be better.

That was an oddly personal attack, considering I think that post will be 100% proven right.

Seems the guy who needs to do the attacking is the insecure one, eh?

This.

Not even remotely. 2013 Lakers were derailed by a man-child and his whiny-bitch-baby attitude, and injuries.

2014 Nets are dysfunctional in completely different ways, and still have time to turn it around.

The Lakers were entertaining
