The Brooklyn Nets stole all the headlines around the NBA during the season thanks to the offensive juggernaut they built. On top of having Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, they managed to get James Harden as well.
A lot of people questioned the Netsâ ability to coexist and share touches. Also, they said that they werenât going to be good enough defensively to be as good as they want. So far, that hasnât been the case.
While the Nets arenât exactly a dominant defensive team, they havenât needed to play defense to dominate almost every single one of their rivals, and thatâs why Warriors star Draymond Green simply doesnât see any other team beating them this year.
Draymond Green Says No Team Can Outscore The Brooklyn Nets
âItâs the best display of offense, weâll probably ever see in thisleague,â Green said on NBA on TNT.âSee, weâre talking about those three guys, but Joe Harris will â who leads the league in three-point percentage, I think for the last couple of years⊠You know, you rotate it, and you swing it to Joe, so thatâs who you rotating off Kevin, Kyrie, or James.You got Bruce Brown, who makes a whole lot of difference doing allthe dirty work, he plays the dunker as if heâs a five. You got Blake (Griffin) whoâs got this resurgence, heâs dunking the ball, heâs all over the court playing the five for them. You know, when you look at this team, offensively, youâre not going to stop them. You stop one guy, you get the other two going off. And I think their defense will be good enough because the reality is that other teams have to score as well and thatâs no so easy to do. So, when youâre trying to outscore these guys â which teams are going to have to do â I canât see that happening.â
Green has a valid point as per usual. The Nets are just good enough defensively to give their offense a chance to beat every single one of their rivals. With that three-headed monster, you know that theyâre not going to miss many shots.
Now, however, theyâll match up vs. a team that got the best of them in the regular season in the Milwaukee Bucks. They have enough size and defenders to at least make it tough for them. But whether theyâll be able to beat them 4 times out of 7, thatâs yet to be seen.
