Nets roster is more talented and deeper than people realize. Coach "JV" is a big upgrade from Nash. They beat Indiana on the road without their top eight players!! The team doesn't even need to rely on Ben so much now. If they stay healthy, they'll be a team that no one will want to see come playoff time.
I think the Celtics are going to fall off in the post season
blacks Mexicans and native Americans we are God chosen people the real Hebrew Israelites of the earth we are the real Jews repent
cavs should get cam reddish
Please keep J.J on more consistently.
Wow Stephen A has a really low basketball IQ. I bet JJ couldn’t believe he was having that argument.
SAS proving he didn't watch a minute of Cavs basketball this season, hes absolutely clueless
Kd & kyrie still take it to the next level if they motivated enough but usually they dont look hungry for a championship
Ben Simmons had a 5 game stretch where he averaged 16/7/6 on 84% FG, his play has been inconsistent because he's coming off a back injury. I believe the Nets are gonna load manage him throughout the season in preparation for the playoffs and that's the best thing to do
They Isaac Okoro who is a great defense player. He can't shoot well though
The supporting core is low key solid. Get a good defensive rim runner and I think the team could be ready for a deep playoff run
Kevin Love as the 5th starter? Makes zero sense
So Nobody’s going to talk about the pelicans?? I am a Nets fan, however the pelicans roster is well constructed.
0:55 it NEVER looked like that.
Stephen A.
Kevin love at the 3 would be horrible bruh . Horrible lol . I’d say a jerami grant would be perfect for them . Can defend perimeter.. slash and knock down open 3s
for teh cavs its okoro
None of those team wants to face.Kd and kyrie playing at a high level and Ben playing his game and there secret weapon Tj. Boston would have been better off with Demarcus instead of Blake are should have use another spot for him.
The thing about Cleveland is that outside of donnavon they struggle to close games I’m a big garland fan but he tends to fold in the 4th and they rely way to much on donnavon in the 4th.
I wouldn’t be surprise if Lebron return to Cleveland again to win them championship
Nobody in the East plays defence like the Warriors or the Clippers to slow down the Celtics,Bucks don't make any adjustments and Nets don't have the personel to make the adjustments, Philly will definitely choke .And Cavs have Mitchell who will play hero ball and no D in the playoffs
Based on what Redick is saying about Cleveland needing a 5th guy to play with Mitchell, Garland, Jarret Allen and Evan Mobley – a 3 and D small forward – Robert Covington is buried on the Clippers' bench. Make some calls!
JJ, What I’m saying to you JJ is what I’m trying to say 😂😂😂
After the 2014 season Spurs Dynasty that Is the last season I Watched Bulls/Spurs Dynasty after that I don't care about the NBA. Lebum will not get 6x I'm pulling for Golden State Warriors and Curry ending his Career with 6 rings Period. 2015 present not have watched 82 games I world go nuts
lmao Steven A suggesting Love be the 5th guy is showing VERY LOW IQ. u can't play 3 bigs this isn't the 90s. u can't play love with Mobley and Allen. they aren't going to be able to guard the other teams' wings..
First take is just better with people like JJ AND MAX on it
I love that SA is always on his best behavior with JJ 😂 the antics are all in good fun but it’s nice hearing a level-headed discussion about sport every now and then lol
Brooklyn is a soild 6th seed at best. They might no be embarrassing but they're not getting past Milwaukee or Boston
Nets need a big man for rebounds and blocks
And we’re still babying this dude smh 🤦🏾♂️
They already know ❤😂🎉😊
Jacque Vaughn right now should be getting votes on Coach of the Year alongside Mazzulla (BOS), Bickerstaff (CLE) & Green (NOLA)
Stephen A be sounding dumb asab with jj next next to him
Utah should trade for Ben he need to be in a small city less expectations
The cavs get Rubio back and the bench will play with bettter . Also go see about Terrence Ross whose in Orlando wasting time
Cavs need Vanderbilt from Utah
Espn really shows a pic of Ben Simmons to represent the Nets instead of KD or Kyrie. The hate is real smh
I love when JJ on the show
All NBA 1st team thus far:
Curry
Luka
KD
Zion
Giannis

Funnily enough Lauri Markannen could be their 5th guy that they mentioned. They even experimented with him, mobley and allen together last year and it wasn't that bad defensively. Don't think they have the assests to get him back tho.
"Nets biggest threat to Celtics & Bucks?"
talks about Cavs
Hey Ben Simmons slept with Megan Thee Stallion
Love JJ, but he has ZERO CREDIBILITY when it comes to Ben Simmons. That interview was borderline pathetic ESPECIALLY since he played in Philly.
Jae Crowder absolutely
Give me a break.
Ben IS The Franchise!
NOBODY can put up 10pts/game with wide open layups.
JJ with another W
Ben Simmons the best player on nets when healthy
And everyone is on the Boston tip — they ain't getting out of the east!
Opportunity missed!
