Fire Nash????
-Chemistry issues.
-Defensively they don't have enough, especially with their second-best defensive player (Simmons) playing on the bench.
-Fit with Simmons when he is back will be interesting because Kyrie is best with the ball in his hands but so is Simmons, because Simmons is not a shooting threat... so how does that work given that you aren't optimizing either.
-The loss of Joe Harris.
-Having a bunch of players who are WELL past their prime on the bench trying to hold it down. It can work here and there in the regular season but during the playoffs you gotta have guys who can produced at a much higher and more consistent rate. I am and would always be worried about signing a guy who is beyond the age of 34 and has a bunch of knee issues. The combination is tough. If a guy is 25 and has knee issues.. it may just be luck but when you get on in years it is different. (Blake Griffin, Millsap, and Aldridge). The combination of those guys all being older and one even having some sort of heart condition isn't great.
-Joe Harris is underrated as an offensive release valve..
There best chance was with Harden. Their best two chances was last year and this year. Last year was just unlucky but that was TRULY their best shot at winning a chip. Moving forward they will always be a dangerous team but they will potentially have injury problems to deal with... although this is technically the healthiest Kyrie will be moving into next season given that he only played half the year. It probably actually added some longevity to his career. So we will see. Even still, I just think there is a good chance they end up being a middling performance team as they try to figure out the chemistry next year.

The Nets are less than the sum of their parts. The individual units are all constrained by each other rather than complimenting each other. Some of that is on Nash. Some is in the front office. Most of it is on their three best players: one MIA (Simmons); one a part time player (Irving); and one an aging veteran superstar playing on susoect legs; none of whom are making their teammates better right now.

This Grizz-Wolves game is something. Bodies everywhere, a zillion fouls, animal right activists on the court and we are in the third quarter over two hours in! Wolves keep giving up big leads, stars just disappearing inexplicably. It’s a strange series.
