Aldridge might get X'd out of the rotation if we meet in the finals. Drummond exposed him. That means AD will destroy him as well. MDA loves going small, I could see them doing that against us.
Big 3, Joe Harris and Jeff Green.
At that point, all the cards will be in our hands. And I like our chances.
Maybe BRK dusts of Deandre Jordan for that series though. Which could be interesting. Wonder what he'd look like against Drummond. He should be fresh since he's resting while being out of the rotation.

That's what i think Nash will do to try to counter Drummond, so it will be interesting to see if Aldridge is benched since KD can play the 4 effectively (or will Aldridge slide to the 4?). What i would do if i were Vogel is put LeBron/AD + Drummond in the high post PnR (or up to the 3pt line depending on their comfort level) and continually attack the rim with lobs and drives (or take the shot if Bron or AD are left open). You also have the option of Schroder in the high PnR with Drummond, and let's see if old ass DJ can guard Schroder (and the lob threat) from the 3pt line to the rim.
LeBron/AD/Drummond can all pass out of the paint for corner 3s if/when the Nets try to swarm the paint with off-ball defenders. If the Nets do not swarm the paint, destroy them with lobs, crash the offensive glass (Trez, Morris, and Kuz can play a huge role here), and just continue to bully them into submission (put them in the bonus early and wear them down). We'll see how effective they are from 3pt land after their bodies are tired from the continual punishment the Lakers put on them over the course of a series (go right through Kyrie or Joe Harris if/when they are caught guarding our big guys). |

When they formed their big 3, I said BRK biggest weakness is actually the glass. They may have super efficient scorers but if we limit their 2nd chance opportunities and maximize ours. Their efficient scorers can be negated because we're shooting around 10 more shots than them per game. Drummond makes that even more possible.
And yes, they switch on defense alot so LBJ, AD, Drummond have to make them hurt on those switches.

Yeah this is one of those in the win column, but mentally a loss. |

They benched Kyrie in the 4th at the 6th minute mark, then without Harden, KD, or Kyrie, proceeded to get the score to 115-118 with a minute left.
Just a bunch of part time stars |

I kept waiting for Nash to insert Jordan, but he never did. Jordan is a true, physical center, much like Drummond, Aldridge, however, is a true power forward, much like Davis, except Davis is the premier defender.
Nash isn't coaching very well if he doesn't insert Jordan against us, should we meet down the road. |

DJ didnt do much about Embiid, I doubt he can stop Dre too. Nets is really weak on defense. |

And Brooklyn's defense gave up 123 points which is 10 points over league average.

Esposed him to retirement. Honestly he will not only face Dre if they meet in the finals. He will also face Giannis and Embiid in the playoffs.
Better be retire than face that punishment, specially he has a heart problem. |

Really a shame about LMA. He has been consistently good for so long. Seems like a good guy. It might change dynamics for the team in terms of depth. But if health is at stake,... then that seems like a no brainer. Hope they figure out the cause and prevent any major problems in the future.

| He probably realized what a pain it is to play with Kyrie. Kind of weird that a guy just retires all of a sudden. Wouldn't all the physicals pick up on an irregular heartbeat? |

Don't think we need to surmise anything other than what it is. Heart arrhythmia can develop over time, or later in life. There are so many potential causes. It can be manage or it can be dangerous. There are many examples where stuff like this became known by athletes later in life when, presumably, they have been under careful medical examination and care for a long time.

Wish LMA all the best in beating his health issues. As far as the Nets are concerned, their already suspect defense just got a lot worse.

| LMA gave them more than Fake Griffin has albeit small sample sizes. Can't stand LMA after he spurned us in free agency so mixed emotions here. |

Don't know why I wasn't aware of this. But apparently, LMA was diagnosed with a heart condition early on in his career.
http://instreetclothes.com/2021/04/15/understanding-lamarcus-aldridges-heart-issue/
(I have no idea how legit that source is... so take it for what it's worth.)
But anyway, yeah... the Nets defense is a mess.
