Nets don’t look unbeatable at this point…..they are old and injury prone …..I don’t expect them to be a lot better mid or late season …..they are what they are now IMO.
Their season may be in the hands (or non-vaccinated arm) of a legitimate headcase.
I don't think Kyrie makes much difference against the Bucks. They just can't stop Giannis. They have no one even capable of really trying. It was I picked the Bucks last year, and why I believe the Bucks will again be crowned NBA champion. Giannis is just an unstoppable force. I think he rates up there with prime Shaq and Wilt on the meter of difficulty to defend. He is just that good and the Nets are just terrible defensively. The Nets could certainly outscore the Bucks as they almost did last year, but they are going to have to win shootouts against them because Giannis will do whatever he wants against the Nets (and pretty much most of the league).
