Stephen A. Smith says NETs are the team to beat in NBA East. Really ?

Now that there's a chance if Nets are late in 1st round NBA playoffs, Ben Simmons may be back ? for even limited minutes
Simmons all of a sudden is B.Russell,Jordan,Pippen,Hakeem,Frazier,Bird,Erving,Wilt,Shaq, Ew, Moses OR Dennis Johnson?
Yea I know medium Ben Simmons can play a little D', so can 1/2 of the NBA roster teams as well!

All this rah rah rant by Stephen A. Smith, well I may eat my words.
Time for Brooklyn to get themselves a NBA Championship title OR go go AWAY (quoting Wizard of OZ)

Sure I should not be a NY native very jealous New York Knick fan whom admits I rooted a bit for them
when ABA Dr. J Nets won their 2 ABA titles great for NYC.

However our Knickerbocker team and fortunes has not been too sweet for those old enough to see 2 NBA titles
as some on this Forum board including myself as a youngster.

SO Brooklyn Net go WIN WIN WIN your NBA title Or go away ... from any memory for trying. So much has gone way of Brooklyn team managment success
Opposite of our loved Knickerbockers where things are far far far from Goind OUR WAY for nearly 4 decades + now.
