76ers are currently first in the East. But I have to agree with you that the Nets are getting it and they're becoming synchronized. Durant and Harden's past team did really help them click this time.
That's why chemistry for a team is really important and if everyone agrees or their star players are clicking and have a good communication to each other, they will have a good performance.

Where are those people who have been saying that Durant+Harden+Irving is shit? This is what ive told earlier that its really too early to wrap up conclusions
because its just the start of the season and there still lots of time for some improvements when it comes to chemistry and now we are really starting to see
on how they do make plays when they are synchronized.This team would really be a possible contender for the finals most likely.

People have told that before when they're starting out and getting losses because they're still trying to synchronize with each other. But this time, they're all good.
They really are a team that has the caliber and likely to be seen in the finals. Many are rooting to see them land on the finals.

both durant and harden know each other back in OKC so no wonder they are clicking in Brooklyn, if they play like this for the rest of the season they will surely be in the finals, there is no other contender in the east all the powerhouse is in the west, I think they are the favorite to win the finals second to lakers, but with the three superstars they are the one who is standing the way of the west to the championship, and it will be a battle.

Nets had really another great performance against GSW last night. Irving-KD-Harden trio continues to demolish their competitors. I think they are definitely one of the teams that have the biggest chance to win the finals. Their hardest competitors are Lakers and Clippers I think. If they got a draw with even one of these teams before the finals and eliminate them, their chance will be much higher to win the finals.

I am really surprised how Harden is adjusting to his team and he showed that in this game with 16 assists. They even showed Harden's APG when he's in Houston and Oklahoma and they are improving greatly especially now. Maybe he's really adjusting and relying his team to do the points as he can be a bait to make great plays like he did in this game.

They are said to be the worst defensive team in the league but they managed to rack their points against GSW.

Flop of the year? - Lebron James

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-lWDreOspk

Even the NBA announcer says "this is getting out of hand". LMAO.

haha. Made my day!

NBA player with James on its name (first name or last name) are floppers.

The king knows how to Flop, the management should be looking this obvious flop, it's making the refs job so hard, this deserves a bigger penalty.

This is the penalty for flopping per wikipedia report .

Quote

The NBA regulated flopping starting in the 2012–13 season. Any player who flops during the regular season would first be warned, followed by fines in increments of $5,000 for each successive flop during the season. The fines would increase to $30,000 for a fifth offense, when a suspension would also be considered.[2] In the playoffs, players are fined $5,000 for their first flopping offense, $10,000 for a second, $15,000 for a third, and $30,000 for a fourth. Any player who flops five or more times could be suspended.[3]

For Lebron James, this amount is very small as he is one of the biggest earner in NBA, so let's wait if he will get fine for this.

Harden with 16 assists, what the h.....

I believe he is now the leader in assists, and it seems good to see the offense of Nets if Harden holds the ball more and do the facilitating.
I thought it would be somehow a close game but Nets was too much in this game, they are slowly correcting their weakness and I love what I saw.

True. We are now witnesses of a new James Harden being created by Steve Nash.
He didn't know he got the talent for passing the ball and playmaking but now it is being maximized.

I actually love how he plays now.
He can attack, he can shoot and he can pass.
Defender will be having a lot more of a hard time guarding him. Grin

Finally, he is not wasting time dribbling the ball anymore.

Maybe it's safe to say that they found a formula on how these stars will effectively contribute the ball. For a while, we thought Irving was a good PG, but it was Harden which is the better one and this results a good chemistry if he do most of the assists. Great game by the Nets, I am really impressed with the ball movement in this game.

I think I will agree with you on that, I thought the sixers are quite slowing down, they are losing games lately while Nets has been winning games.
Honestly, I only thought that Sixers are their toughest rival, but the way the Nets are playing now, I think they can win in 5 or 6 against the sixers in a series.

Can Wizards take the win today ? They're going to line up the 1st team so it might be a very tight game in about 1 hour from now. I like the Wizards odds at 3.75 and I'm thinking to trow 10$ on them as it will be a shame not to catch an odd like this.

Celtics already got the necessary points so they can chill a few games.

I don't think that the Celtics have time to chill. Anyway, this match is over, and it looked like an easy win for the Wizards because Beal was on fire again, and they won by 13 points. Congrats, you made a good bet.

This is how scary the Harden and Durant tandem back then and both are now playing the best game together in the same team with Uncle Drew as their point guard. isn't it amazing to watch? so far they're winning some games against some big time opponents. If they keep winning like this up to the playoff, then the more the games in the playoff will be excited to watch. They need to give the other teams in the eastern conference a huge blow especially the Bucks and the Sixers cause both are known to be the best team in the east this season. I'm looking to watch their game on Friday versus the Lakers, I'm sure the game will be the most watch that day.

I do agree that Durant and Harden are great together but we have to realize that Harden wasn't this superstar when he was in OKC, he was a great player don't get me wrong but Houston Harden was something totally different than anything we have seen in OKC in the end. Which means they are now even better, it is Durant who is older and wiser with the same or even maybe better talents side by side with Harden who is much much better and a big MVP superstar right now.

Kyrie Irving is not really well with any players, I just dislike the guy as a whole, so I can't see him as a great addition to any team, not even in the league, nobody really needs a good player with some attitude towards his teammates, hate whoever you want but acting too entitled against your teammates will definitely hurt things, they would have been better even with Spencer Dinwiddle instead or Irving.

I would say that the role of a point guard is mainly performed by Harden, not uncle Drew, considering that Harden made another double-double with 16 assists in this game.

You're probably right that the battle of Nets' trio vs. James and AD will be interesting because these teams will meet first time this season.

I would agree. Watching the team play it seems like Harden is the facilitator while Kyrie is mostly being used for isolation plays and Durant as more of a spot up shooter. I think they've still got a lot of growing to do as a team, and I'm sure the roles will be more evenly distributed going forward. Right now it's like they're playing pick up basketball with no set plays. They have the talent to win playing this way, but if they don't get their act together come playoff time I doubt they'll survive the second round.

I'm looking forward to any Laker matchup with the Nets, Clippers, or Bucks. Always great seeing LeBron show how he's the best of the best.

Yeah, they might have finally found a way how to win as a team. Notice that they'll struggle to win If KD, Kyrie, and Harden scores 25+ points each. The game against the GSW shows the real strength of the Nets. Harden dishing out 16 assist would quite be easy when you have Durant, Kyrie, and Harris waiting for his set up pass.

So, as the Nets have a huge lead right now against GSW I have a big question in my mind.
James Harden. He has 14 assists now at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Do you guys think this changes with how Harden plays is because of their coach Steve Nash?

Nash was known as a 2-time season MVP because of his large amount of assists which mostly averaged at 15+.
Is he trying to make Harden the MVP now using the same strategy?
Points are not a question because Harden can shoot.

Seems to be like that, the adjustment that Harden is doing is really something.

Stats wise he might developed this skills more and use it for his individual achievements, like what you have said, coach Nash won the MVP before not because he's the main gunner but he's the one who feeds his teammates each time he carry the ball, for now, I'm seeing this as effective for Harden and the chance of winning a title might be close if this team continue playing as a team and not as individual superstars.

Harden with 16 assists, what the h.....

I believe he is now the leader in assists, and it seems good to see the offense of Nets if Harden holds the ball more and do the facilitating.
I thought it would be somehow a close game but Nets was too much in this game, they are slowly correcting their weakness and I love what I saw.
