They could beat anyone....In the play-in games sure. But barring injury, don't see them challenging any of the top teams in a 7 games seriesI think they'd give Brooklyn a real headache. Beal and Westbrook would make Kyrie and Harden work their butts off on D and considering that's not what they like doing, they'll have a field day against Brooklyn. Question is whether anyone else in Wash would be able to step their games on offense to make the rest of Brooklyn work. Boston's really the only other team I see in the East that has the personnel to make Brooklyn really work on defense. That's really the key to beating them in a series.When you say Boston has the personnel to make Brooklyn work on defense, do also think Boston has a chance to win too? Brooklyn is the one team I don't want to see the Celtics play. Brooklyn is 3-0 against Boston, and in not one of those games have Kyrie, Durant, and Harden played together.I'm with you -- I'd rather not face Brooklyn in the first round. I do think that we can beat them, and likely we'll ultimately have to if we want to make a return trip to the conference finals, but our defense has been way too inconsistent this year for me to think it would be a good matchup. Maybe we can clean up our defense in the first round of the playoffs, because fingers crossed that the combination of off days, practices, and playoff intensity can create some level of consistency that has been lacking all season. But I'd like at least a round against some other opponent, even the Bucks or the Sixers, before I face the Nets.

Anthony Davis got back spasms and didn't return, while the Clippers disemboweled the Lakers tonight. Crazy
