I thought all those xxxxx's ment he really liked Booze and sex yet not Basketball, hmmm?
I thought all the X's meant he was waiting for his Inmate number to be assigned by the California Department of rehabilitation. Where he can launch his next career as the next incarceratedbob.
Anyways i see the pierce and ganrett acquisition by the nets akin to the lakers bringing in Karl Malone(40) and Gary Payton(25).
The lakers may not have won the finals but they made it there. something that despite having shaw and Kobe did not accomplish the year before.
Garnett and Pierce already have their on court chemistry as does Williams,Lopez and Johnson. garnett and Pierce may be past their prime but they dont need to be.
Cavs arent going to beat them with depth. The Irving Waiters duo will have their work cut out for them with a Deron thats not being asked to be a volume shooter and Joe Johnson at 6'7 is still an top notch defender at the sg position.
Pierce is a clear matchup advantage at the forward position and Garnett wont have to play the center position.
At center you have Brook lopez and although AV as an individual ahs gotten the better of Lopez .One does not expect him to duplicate his 35 point outburst he had ion their last matchup (which ended as a lost)
I will be happy with anything under a 10 point loss for this opener. The Cavs defense although improved is still inconsistent and the offense will have to execute at a very high level against a very experienced Brooklyn team.
Cavs though do have 11 out of their next 14 that are very winnable. I think they match up well with Indiana and play them close. Chicago, Spurs and Heat good barometer games.
Ill be pleased if the Cavs can get off to a 12-8 or better start their first 20 games
