Joe Johnson Believes The Brooklyn Nets Are A Problem For LeBron James And The Los Angeles Lakers
The Brooklyn Nets have been a hot commodity in these past several days following the team’s blockbuster acquisition of James Harden, and it’s just too hard to look away when the team is now bannered by three electrifying scorers.
While the Nets are a team to keep an eye for, the team also has a lot of work to do, particularly on the defensive end. Like every fan right now, former Nets All-Star Joe Johnson also thinks that playing defense is going to be Brooklyn’s main problem.
“They can score the ball, it’s just getting stops. That’s gonna be their biggest problem the whole season.”
Meanwhile, on the offensive side, Johnson thinks no team has a better collection of ‘Big 3’ in terms of scoring the ball than the Brooklyn Nets.
“No question. The best three isolation, get-a-bucket — yeah you’re not gon’ get better than this.”
When Johnson was asked if the Nets are going to affect the defending champions the Los Angeles Lakers, Johnson said that they’re going to be a problem not only for the Lakers, but for everybody in the league.
“S***, they’re gonna be a problem for any damn body. Not just the Lakers. But, like I said, the Nets, they’ll figure it out over the course of the season and they’ll get things rolling. Right now, they still tryna find themselves.”
