We may not have much more time to discuss the Brooklyn Nets before their offseason begins, so I bring in Tim Bontemps from the New York Post to talk about their series with the Atlanta Hawks. Before we jump into that series begrudingly, we break down Mike Budenholzer winning Coach of the Year over Steve Kerr. Is there a problem in trying to deconstruct what they did and the teams they did it with instead of just celebrating how good both coaches were? Who else deserved recognition?
Then we jump into the Nets-Hawks first round series. Does this Hawks team scare us like they did two months ago when they're so banged up? Is Paul Millsap's shoulder going to keep them from getting into that same rhythm? Is the injured finger of Al Horford going to limit his effectiveness on offense? Should the Nets pound the ball into Brook Lopez more? Will Lionel Hollins go with Alan Anderson over Markel Brown for the rest of this series? Can the Nets push it to six or seven games if the Hawks aren't healthy?
We discuss all of this, plus the possible return of Mirza Teletovic, what Derek Fisher could be in the future, and much more.
