They have no depth now. Nets starters are going to have to play 40 mins a game. Should be interesting.

This is always super-overrated. The reason we've always had no depth is because we always have 19-22 y/o 2nd round talent taking up spots 11-17 on the roster. The Nets could go out and sign guys like: Dedmon, Ilyasova, and IT and be good to go for depth bench pieces. I know those names are unspectacular, but they are proven NBA vets who would know their roles and be able to soak up minutes.

The Nets are the team to beat now...which may actually work out if they can take down the Lakers in the Finals.

I don't wish anything bad to KD but if he get injured again, even not so long time (and esp in PO), I can't wait to see a team lead by Kirie and Harden. It will give so much headacke to this poor Nash... We will see unexpctable in the future, this duo will bring more incertitude than covid himself !

Whatever KD wanted to be the angular team of a contender team. He couldn't be more of an angular team than what he will be there; he will litterally be the stone than empeech the moutain to fall, won't he ?

the only way this works is if Harden and Kyrie Irving are willing to sacrifice their individual stats and stop being selfish players. I have a hard time believing that they will.

people will point to the 08 celtics, Lebron/wade/bosh Miami Heat or Golden State warriors. But the superstars on those teams were all mature professionals who saw the bigger picture.

we are dealing with Kyrie Irving who didnt like that Lebron James was #1 in Cleveland. and James Harden who when Chris Paul or Westbrook had the ball would mope on the court and stand there.

what is going to happen when Kyrie irving is #3 on the team? or what happens when Kyrie dribbles for 20 seconds while harden is standing there.

Anybody watching the Orlando @ Brooklyn game? How are the Nets playing? They are down 3 points early in the 3rd quarter. Haven't watched the game thus far.

Durant with 39. Harden currently at 24/14/8 nearing a triple double.

For the Nets, health will be key especially now that their depth is honestly a bit thin.

Durant is unguardable! Best scorer in the NBA in the post-Jordan era, imo.

It seems like KD and Harden are taking turns on offense. Kyrie ain't playing tonight. Really curious to see whether the 3 of them can coexist in the same lineup.

We demolished this Magic team without Tatum and Kemba. The Nets with KD and Harden are struggling to win the game. Are we supposed to fear this Nets team?

Nets have been in a tight game against a bad Magic team that is playing on the second night of a back to back.  The same team we beat by 27 without Tatum.

I wouldn’t crown them yet.

Harden's lift seems gone now.

Harden and Durant putting on a passing show against the Magic both passed up shots to get Bruce Brown an open look. All those who railed at Harden just watch him lift the Nets with Durant.
