Reply to "Holiday Extension Announced - 4 years, 160 million"

The Nets are similar to OKC when they had Westbrook, KD, and Harden.  Or GS with Klay, Steph, and KD.  The difference is both the Warriors and Thunder were much better defensively.   As dangerous as Brooklyn is, as a team they are average at best defensively.

On the other hand, the Bucks have two elite level defenders in Giannis and Holiday, and Middleton, Tucker, and DDV are plus level defenders as well.  Lopez is an elite rim protector.

It’s going to be fascinating to see how the East plays out as the top 4 teams (Miami as #4) are all capable of winning the conference.  It’s going to boil down to who stays healthy and who hits their shots.  The matchups will matter as well.   Miami probably matches up best with the Bucks but I’m not sure they have enough firepower to beat the Bucks in a long series.
