Damn man... We should not have lost that game... That was so frustrating... Defense was on point, we were sharing the ball but our youngens got cold in the second half, & the turnover galore happened...


One things for sure, do ya'll see how they have to guard Curry and he STILL went off????? Jesus Christ... Lets get this god damn 8th seed..

When do the soon to be 2021 NBA champions play? The dream team known as the Brooklyn Nets!
I'm trying to load up their schedule on ESPN.com. Game 1 vs. Boston on Saturday night on ABC.

I'll probably just cheer for James Harden and the Nets during the playoffs as I watch all of their games.
If the Beard can win his first NBA Title. Better chance he'll leave the Nets after next season (opt out).

Also Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving can both opt out after next season. Brooklyn's superstar trio shouldn't be together past next season.

We just need the Nets to suck in 2024 and 2026! We have their unprotected first-round picks and they may be top 3 picks both of those years. Perhaps even the #1 overall pick which would be crazy to think about. We'd have to get super lucky just like in this upcoming 2021 NBA Lottery. 14% chance at the #1 pick.

I'd love to see the Brooklyn Nets play the Phoenix Suns in the 2021 NBA Finals. That would guarantee that James Harden or Chris Paul wins their first ring. I felt so bad when they couldn't get it done on a 65-win Rockets team back in 2018. Lost that Game 7 at home to the Warriors. Who knows what could've happened if CP3 hadn't missed Game 6 and Game 7 of that series. The Warriors might have still won, but being one win shy of the 2018 NBA Finals was still special. Both of those future Hall of Famers know what it takes to advance deep in the playoffs. Now they just need to win a championship.

TL:DR version - If James Harden doesn't win the NBA Finals this year he'll never do it! Get it done, Beard! This is your year. You've got the dream team!

If the Warriors end up the 8th seed I could see them upsetting the Jazz in the first round. Would anybody be surprised?
I'm liking the 2nd-seeded Suns too much in the Western Conference Playoffs. Chris Paul has to be the difference maker.

Lakers are -300 favorites for the series. Good luck.

The 2021 NBA finalists for DPOY

Rudy Gobert
Ben Simmons
Draymond Green

Who's going to win it? All of them are elite defenders. The Utah Jazz had the NBA's best record.
Since Ruby Gobert isn't considered in the MVP race he'll probably win defensive player of the year.

Simmons wins
But Draymond is the rightful DPOY

I was impressed with the way Draymond locked down AD last night! It was just a clinic.
Held him to 4-for-13 from the field. AD went off when Draymond wasn't guarding him.

Gobert obv

his numbers are Double Simmons and they had a better record
