The Brooklyn Nets officially turned into the NBA's villain when they traded for James Harden to pair with Kyrie & KD. Some people hate it, some love it, and some are just sitting back with their popcorn to watch it all.. This ep we discuss the Nets & Trailblazers.
-How Harden forced his way to Bk, was he rewarded for being unprofessional?
-Did Harden take the "easy" way out pairing with 2 other stars?
-Will Harden or Kyrie sacrifice more? How do they fit on-court?
-Can the Celtics beat the Nets in a 7 game series?
-Is Dame Lillard having a MVP season?
-Trade CJ for Derozan?
-Is this Stotts last year in Portland?
