After the big deal about Harden, the lineups of Philadelphia and the Nets have also changed very big. Philadelphia has changed from an absolute core of Embiid to an internal and external core of Embiid + Harden, plus a number of role players, and their overall strength is beyond doubt. After the trade, the Nets changed from the previous Harden + Durant + Irving big three to the big three of Durant + Irving + Simmons, and they also gained a stable pitcher like Curry Jr.!
And recently Cescuri played his Nets' first game, and it was a game without the Big Three, he became the absolute core of the team. In this game, he played 32.1 minutes, shot 10 of 18 from the field, shot 3 of 8 from three-point range, and got 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, which is a very good performance!
After the game, the reporter stabilized Curry Jr. with a question, that is, whether he felt that Philadelphia and the Nets were fierce rivals, and Curry said: "I don't know what can be considered a strong opponent, I think at least we meet in the playoffs to be considered a strong opponent." Both teams are competitive in the East, and if in the playoffs, by the most critical round, we may have to meet. ”
For the Nets and Philadelphia, they are indeed the two most competitive teams in the East, and if the playoffs do meet, who is more likely to win? In fact, in terms of star ability, Philadelphia only has Harden and Embiid, but the Nets have three stars. But on top of the role players, Philadelphia has Sable and Maxi, as well as Harris, who averages close to 20 points per game, and a veteran with enough experience like Danny Green is also on the team, and the overall strength of the team should still look above the Nets!
For fans, they should all want to see these two teams meet in the playoffs, which will be a series of intense and topical, which is really worth looking forward to!
