POLL Who is more important to the Nets?

[DJ]

Without Harden they are 16-17.

Without KD they are 25-17.

What say you, SH?

 

[Wamu]

Just once I wanna thread with a macaroni salad option.

 

[trojanfan12]

It's an interesting question. It would be interesting to see those numbers broken down a little more.

For example:

How many of the games without KD were played with both Harden and Kyrie and how many with just Harden or just Kyrie?

Also, what teams were they playing? If more of the games that KD missed were against bad teams, that would effect the records.

Oh, and I voted KD.

 

[tlance]

Tough question.

Reality is that they need both healthy to seriously contend.

And I don’t think we have seen both healthy enough to really answer that question.

I am going KD because he is the best player and also Kyrie can sort of fill the Harden role.

But it is a 1A and 1B situation either way.

It bugs me when the sportcasters imply that the Nets couldn't contend without Harden. These wins and losses aren't a true representation of what the team would be without Harden, as he cost a lot of talent to acquire (as well as future assets). If the Nets still had Allen, Levert, Prince and Kurucs for this past stretch without Harden, I'm sure they wouldn't have struggled as much. They gave up considerable talent to get him (even though it was less than I would've asked for).

Why? It's a loser every time.

No way Jose! One thing that's a loser though is meeeechegan football.

Cold soggy pasta? really?
And although you have an 8 game streak currently Michigan still leads, 58–51–6 all time. It's been rough being a UM fan since Carr left, but as I've been saying for about a decade, they'll turn it around.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I’m going with the big man they don’t have. Embiid is going to make Blake Griffin cry.

For real, how much better would the Nets be right now if they hadn’t made a move for Harden? They’d have Jarrett Allen and LaVert off their bench. They’d be in much better shape than where they are now.

The all time series record means very little right now. Did you know this century Ohio State is 17-3 vs. UofM?

From 1897 to 1918 UofM was 13-0-2 vs. Ohio State. You know what's funny about that? meeeechegan super-duper homer maizeNblue09 to this day is still very proud of those wins from more than 100 years ago.

I am all too aware being married an alumna and father of a student. Luckily college is about more than football and the education at UM is second to none, especially getting in-state tuition. But, hey, lets talk basketball or hockey. Or just talk football revenue, since UM still (when allowed) packs the biggest stadium in the NCAA.

I know it's from the Brady Hoke years, but damn is it funny.

This is meeeechegan? Students react to deal that offered free football tickets with soft drinks purchased (9/23/14)


Ohio State has never had to bribe their students with free tickets to go to a football game at The Shoe.

You mentioned revenue. Didn't go with the 2019-20 season because obviously the virus got in the way of things. But going the 2018-19 season here are the top schools. From sports.-usatoday.com/ncaa/finances

# 1- Texas: $233,879,781
# 2- Texas A & M: $212,748,002
# 3- Ohio State: $210,548,239
# 4- UofM: $197,820,410


The Buckeyes beat the wolvereeeens again.

But, of course, the suckeyes pay their players a lot more as well.

KD isn’t an alpha.

 

[thunderc]

I say it’s KD, unguardable even without help from the referees

 

[bksballer89]

Harden. He makes his teammates better. Kevin Durant does not

I really hate the idea that you have to be an “alpha” to be a great player. It just isn’t true.

If Harden is an “alpha” he certainly is not the type of positive, unselfish, win first leader that a team would want.

If your “alpha” is leading in a negative direction that is actually a very bad thing.
