The next time I saw last night?

Oh, yeah, They could win the championship.

They play like that.

First of all, let's give props.

Where?

Props to do.

Kyrie Irvin was a show stopper.

He was absolutely, positively sensational.

He put on the show.

He was box office the way we know he can be.

Box office.

The efficiency of Kevin Durant.

The man had 28 points on 13 shots, hit 11 of his 13 shots.

Okay, this is Kevin Durant and, of course, James Harden putting in a triple double with 23 14.

I'm sorry.

Two year 23 14 and 11.

Uh, it was just special to see no question about it and to see the Nets go up.

And then Brooklyn run off 13 straight, led by Kyrie coming off the bench, dropping two threes and another bucket.

Kevin Durant putting in a couple of threes.

James Harden hitting the threes.

Well, they were just abusing Nicolas Batum.

I mean, everybody that he was guarded in the fourth quarter seemed to be able to score.

But the offensive firepower that the Brooklyn Nets have again their defense doesn't doesn't need to be horrid.

It doesn't need to be God awful.

But this team could give up 120 points a night and still win because we see that they can outscore anybody on the planet.

They are the number one offense in basketball.

Last night was a display as to why, that is, and in order to beat them, you're gonna have to be able to stop them.

And I don't know anybody that can look at those three dudes that Big three in Brooklyn and say definitively we can stop them.

Of course, the Lakers should be the favorites, but it's by a here simply because off the offensive juggernaut that they are, they don't have to change a damn thing to get to the Finals.

They are coasting.

They're coming out of the East.

They're going to the MBA finals in orderto win it.

If last night you're asking me play like that and they could win?

Yes, as constructed playing offense like that, they can win the championship.

I don't know if they'd be able to against the Lakers offensively, but they could win a championship without making a move if they can play offense like that every night.

They cannot win the championship unless they make a move.

The roster is currently constructed.

Can't win it all this year.

Let me start by saying they since the Harden trade have been the best offense ever in the history of the MBA since the Harden trade.

It's not hard to believe when you have three guys who can all get their own shot at elite historical levels and hit the shots from anywhere from anywhere on the floor.

The free throw anywhere three point range doesn't matter.

And then there none of those three or even the best shooter on the team.

Because you've got Joe Harris on the same squad, right?

And you have a guy like Jeff Green who, when you play him as a four, really, they're playing them at the five because they just don't have a five really, who could play big minutes?

He's much better than when he was a wing player earlier in his career.

Their offense is ridiculous, and Kyrie Irving put on a show Kyrie Irving puts on the best show in basketball period.

Any level best show that anyone puts on in the game is Kyrie Irving, and he did his thing last night.

But, guys, what was that thing?

Let's be honest right now.

They're playing a Clippers team six games into a road trip that was playing their fifth game in seven nights.

Fifth game in seven nights.

So this is not like a refreshed, normal kind of Clippers team you're gonna face.

And not only that, but with the Nets playing like that with Kyrie playing like that with James Harden that heads up full court pass that put them up with the Nets playing like that.

Paul George had an open look a three to tie the game like the Nets got a little lucky.

Paul George missed that shot just to win that game last night, the shots Never questioning the Nets offense.

And I got more news for you.

The Nets offense gonna get better by the playoffs could be better than this.

They're gonna be more used to playing together.

But Stephen A.

They're not gonna get to the finals, let alone win it with the worst defense ever.

And right now they're on pace to have the worst defense ever since the Harden trade.

The defense of possession is not over until you secure the board, the board, you got to secure that ball and they're not getting defensive rebounds.

At the very least, they gotta bring someone in who can do that by the deadline.

There's so much to teach you about the game of basketball.
