Lol they overhype the nets every year
Perkins is biased Celtics dickrider. Dude is delusional
Gotta love the passion of Perk and JJ ignoring the Cavs…
Biggest threat to the Celtics is the Celtics. Focus/Efficiency/Health
Celtics don’t really have a problem with nets or 76ers it’s the heat lol
Kd is the most efficient midrange scorer this season. Leads the league in defensive efficiency in the paint (min 200 attempts). How is he not top 5 in the MVP convo? Bad stuff media talk so so much. Success and where is the coverage?
KD is an overrated defender. Celtics were killing him in pick/roll in the playoffs
I’m not ignoring the cavs they’re really good this year when healthy
Also the Nets need to pick up a legit big men. I think Dwight Howard could really help in the playoffs
Sixers are
Nets defense will let them down in playoffs.
Cavs and Nets
Celts historically match up well against the Nets & 76ers (I mean recent history of course). Teams that are handsy on defense throw them off their rhythm so Cavs are more a threat to me, from their perspective. Matchups may be diff for Bucks
I don't know, but KD always seems to be ready at big stage. He scored a lot when he had to.
Ben Simmons is the answer in defeating the Celtics
Bos did sweep us. Nets eliminated them b4 too so a 3rd series can go either way. Nets have been better than the bucks. That playoff series hurt more psychologically. The bucks were beat. If the nets are healthy they can eliminate anyone
no one takes the bucks seriously.
Celtics beat a smaller nets team by 18 in 4games with kd playing his worse offensively in the playoffs with no chemistry. I believe the Celtics have gotten better and also added Malcolm but the nets team is much better as well. It’s my ECF teams pick over Philly, bucks, and Cleveland.
What if you didn't stop?
What if you went beyond what others expected from you?
What if you kept pushing each day to be better than yesterday?
Go find out what your life could be like.
Threat is the last word that comes to mind when it's celtics vs nets lmao. Bucks maybe since their coach leaves good shooters wide open and prays for giannis to carry
#1 Kyrie would destroy Larry bird, Larry bird wouldn't be able to guard Kyrie. #2 Kevin Durant would definitely destroy Larry Bird, #3 Lebron James is too physical for Larry Bird, #4 Stephen Curry and #5 Klay Thompson would shoot Larry Bird eyes out. Why, it's all about the dribble, the crossover, the step back, the 3 point and the half court shots. There are more skilled players in today's NBA than back in the days. James Harden would destroy Larry Bird, Jason Tatum and many more……My starting 6 would be: Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Jason Tatum, Stephen Curry Klay Thompson, Kyrie All on the same Team. Who back in the days could beat this team. Nobody.
Girth is wild JJ😂😂😂
JJ is a kyrie hater he never gives him credit kyrie is the clear difference
How many years have y'all been saying this? And yet it has never happened
Oh now yall want to make NETS video. Thank you perk for not flip flopping on the nets now when they're doing good. Yall hated the Nets when they were down, Keep hating as they make their way up to the top. If this was SAS he would've already flip flopped seeing Nets play the last 15 games. I haven't watched these haters in months so who knows he might have already made a video where he flipped flop the last 15 games.
1-5, Sixers have the best starting five. However, Embiid is always “limping” his way throughout the postseason. Harden has a history of disappearing in crucial games. Lastly, Doc rivers, you never know with his coaching
Why is the camera shaking so bad lol
13-2 for the nets in the last 15 games. Steve Nash was the problem, Jacque Vaugh proved it. Even the media knew it the last 2 seasons and blamed KD and Kyrie for choosing him as their coach instead of A Black Coach. HOWEVER when Nash got fired they made it seem like Nash got out of a toxic team and he just took the W by leaving the Nets. Then Kyrie got suspended around the same time and the nets started winning without Kyrie or Nash and they started a Narrative THAT KYRIE WAS THE PROBLEM NOT NASH. WELL, IT WAS NASH!!!. The nets are 13-2 last 15 games with Kyrie playing with a healthy squad. We just destroyed yall's favorite Bucks 2 days ago. They just lost to the Cavs, Nets, and Celtics in their last 3 games. Tatum gave Giannis a poster for Christmas. Also I don't want to hear that bucks didn't have Middleton cause it wouldn't have mattered. Last Season Kyrie alone (KD and Simmons out) beat the Bucks with Giannis, Middleton, Lopez, and Holiday playing.
