I’ll take Rubio’s defense over Paul’s defense against a prime Mitchell any day of the week bruh...

Is Rubio playing defense a thing now?

 

[bksballer89]

They have the most talented roster. That's not the same as having the best team.

never said they're the best team.

Exactly.

And I'd love a Lakers-Nets matchup but as the Clipps should.....on paper doesn't mean shit.

LeVert and Dinwiddie were all star caliber guards, even before Durant and Irving got there... Let’s see how the GOAT, Steve Nash uses them

Kevin Durant isn't Paul George.....he shows up in the playoffs

Rubio is average at best on defense.

CP3 is 175 years old. He's smart, so he would have some success covering Mitchell. But he can't match him athletically and asking him to be the primary defender on Mitchell for a 7 games series is a big ask for a guy CP3's age.

lol yeah i don't think I said anything crazy. Nets roster is the best in basketball. We'll see how things go with chemistry and etc but the roster on paper is the best in the league.

His perimeter defense knowing that Ayton is a shit post defender, he did very well...

KD would be their Leonard.

Irving would be their PG after last season's playoff performance. 21ppg on 38.5% shooting.

Still think the Suns are better overall with CP and they potentially are the 6 seed.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Rubio is actually a very good on ball and perimeter defender...

@WiggyRuss would disagree.

You sure about that?

Nets have the better team 1-12 if we're being honest.

I mean, if they're better than the best team...that would make them the best team, right?

LOL.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

@WiggyRuss would disagree.

As long as he doesn’t bring up his analytics starting next to Booker...

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Just curious FAKERS fans (cbs days) lol

If you could trade Dennis for LeVert or Dinwiddie, would you do it?

Marine daughter already snagged some leftovers.....they may not last a week.

Getting mine when the Bucs game kicks off.

Maybe for the first five minutes... Mitchell would eat him alive, especially knowing there’s no low post defense

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Chris Paul is probably going to play half the season for the Suns... I think he’s done.

Hate cornbread but the homemade cornbread stuffing was solid. Not a fan of sour cream but in mashed taters it was great. And the homemade gravy stole the show....got a gallon if it left I think.
