Honestly. I would give the Nets the best chance that the East has had in a while. <br>
Neither this Spurs team, (whom I love) nor the Mavs have impressed me that much. <br>
<br>
Yeah,Spurs dethroned the Lakers. But it was a Laker team begging to be knocked off. If Minnesota had any balls at all,they would have done so.<br>
Spurs still can't hold a lead to save their lives. Nor can they hit free throws consistently. Plus they're still a fairly young team. Making many "rookie" mistakes.<br>
And the Mavs can not play any thing resembling defense. <br>
Where as the Nets are playing well and rolling through their series'<br>
<br>
If I had to bet, I'd still take Spurs or Mavs over Nets. But I think it'll be much tougher than most think.
