Clippers have a top defense, one of the best in the league. That's not their weak point, their problem is lack of scoring in the paint and being too much of jump shooting team.

Nets is a 1st round exit team.. as puzzling it may sound.

They rank 26th in defense this season...

The Clippers are one of the worst defensive teams in the league this year. Time to switch accounts again.

I wouldn't go that far, they're too talented to be a first round fodder. Although a 4 v 5 match up against the Pacers wouldn't be ideal. But if they were to go to the second round with their current roster, then yes, I'd agree there'd be problems. I don't see Durant or Harden run after Tatum or Giannis for a seven game series, and Embiid would feast on their current frontline as well.

The Bucks will surely give us problems as they may be the best team in the entire league, but not the Celtics. Even before the trade we crushed them twice, and it was no coincidence. We will struggle against teams that can attack our weakness at C/PF spot, but the Celtics aint like that and they match up poorly against us. Tatum/Brown/Walker are effectively poor men's Durant/Harden/Irving, we are better than what they are good at. And for the 76ers, Doc River's track record is an indicator that they aint a threat in the playoffs. Id be more concerned about the Heat though, they are much better coached and we always struggle against them in the past.

not true https://www.espn.com/nba/stats/team/...oints/dir/desc

they are 12th in points allowed. Clippers problem is they are jump shooting team. No scoring in paint. Not defense.

For comparison, The Nets are 22nd.

Clippers allow 109.6 points per game, Nets allow 113.

what exactly do the Celtics have on the Nets?

I fail to see a single advantage.

[Mr. Woke]

I would love to see those two teams match up.

Those two teams have several great and likable players.

Nets better do their best in not following the footsteps of the fraud 2020 clippers once playoff time comes.

[Nike D'Antoni]

This will be final. Best 2 teams in NBA
