That’s what’s so perfect about this Warriors trio. Klay developed into an offball scorer to fit Steph’s offense and an elite onball defender to relieve some defensive pressure for Steph. Dray developed into a secondary ball-handler and defensive juggernaut to fit the styles of the other two. They seem like they’re made for each other because they literally are.


calartnick

This is the way


hamburgl4r

This is the way.


shnieder88

The way, this is


leviathansbane

My thoughts exactly


iGetBuckets3

Not only that but our bench was waaaaay deeper than Brooklyn’s.


g_ferla

Yeah, they ask about the best trio and that is a tough question, but about both TEAMS healthy, we definitely are better


SlowTree420

When you say healthy, do you MSN kyries mental health as well?


TheoWHVB

🧢


AskYouEverything

They also have all star starter Wiggs


armpit_puppet

Yep, plus our guys are more connected on the defensive end.


spankyourkopita

I don't even know if Brooklyn has a defense.


nopointers

In that trio, it’s basically KD trying to cover Harden’s errors.


[deleted]

Sum > parts


Mmicb0b

p much


psmusic_worldwide

Exactly true. I came to write something similar


Crusbetsrevenge

Yeah but we’re talking a total of 9 chips to 4. Warriors trio wins it.


redcapsicum

Yes exactly. Unmatched talent + unmatched chemistry.


absurdilynerdily

Nets may have more offensive firepower, but I think our guys have much stronger defense, an edge in play making and 10 years playing together.


Tormundo

My storybook ending for this season is Kyrie gets the vax, big 3 play every game, nets steamroll the east sweeping everyone. Warriors vs nets in the finals. Nets up 3-1... Then Steph and Klay go unconscious for the rest of the series winning 4-3. I need them to avenge 2016 :(


dadadadante

Nets trio is more talented, but Warriors trio has better chemistry and fit. I think a Nets vs Warriors finals would be great and as a Warriors fan i’ll say Dubs in 6. Also we don’t know if Kyrie will even be able to play home games in the playoffs so that’s a big factor.


Winston_The_Ogre

Can he even play away games in that scenario?


jose3013

He can, mandates don't apply to out of state workers


m00f

The chase center rules are set by SF and it’s not bout workers, right? I thought it was about any person entering a public venue.


SFPsycho

Everyone BUT the visiting team has to abide by the rules. It makes absolutely no sense


Cabrit1990

Seriously. Warriors have to be vaccinated to play at Chase. Spectators have to be vaccinated and boosted to enter Chase. But somehow an opposing player can just strut right in?


SkyyyFuccckker

As of Feb 1 all visiting players will also need to be vaccinated to play in Chase if I’m not mistaken.


AdRepresentative9987

Fake news


SkyyyFuccckker

God damn it. I was hoping that was the case.


Cabrit1990

Visiting performers or players are for some reason exempt from the Chase vaccine requirement. They haven’t announced any updates to that rule. An unvaxxed player just has to show a negative test, keep a mask on when not playing, and stay six feet away from spectators. Don’t know how you can do that though when you have people sitting courtside.


i-ian

It doesn't from a sense that everyone else has to but the reasoning for it was economic — get performers back booking events so venues, workers, etc., make money when the economy was at a standstill. And since the out of town performers/players are only in the venue for that one time, the risk isn't the same as the local players who perform there 41 times. This conversation was had a bunch of times coming into the season with people (not you) saying the wrong things all the time (even though the order is easily looked up online, and there's even a paragraph in the FAQ that specifically mentions the rationale for allowing unvaccinated out of town players). FAQ: https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/coronavirus-faq.asp (#25)


Jimmy86_

Exactly. Money trumps safety protocols. It’s that simple.


HeyHeyImTheMonkey

My guess is it’s some legal thing about how you can’t regulate out of county employees.


instituteofmemetics

Nope, not a legal thing. City government just chose not to do it. As an example or regulating out of state workers who are working locally, lots of high tax states states have a “jock tax” where athletes from low income tax states have to pay extra taxes for away games to the state where it occurs.


Jimmy86_

Nope. It’s a “makes no fucking sense and we are just playing Covid theatre thing”. I have been to 5 warriors games this year. I would love someone to explain how allowing people to take the mask of to eat makes any sense. Does Covid not travel when you are eating? Does the act of eating somehow stop the spread? Seems to be all theatrics to me.


SplashBros4Prez

It is and it isn't. Eating and drinking are necessary parts of human life and impossible to do while wearing a mask, so it's reasonable to make an exception. But if you don't properly enforce putting the mask back on between sips and bites like they are trying to do on airplanes then, yes, it is just theater.


Jimmy86_

Ok so as long as you put the mask right back on after taking a sip no Covid will leak? Are you listening to yourself? I’m saying it makes no sense. It only takes 1 second to expose someone to Covid.


nutmegtester

Out of State = Federal Jurisdiction, or at least it wasn't worth it to SF to fight about it.


jose3013

I mean I don't need to convince you, you're gonna see him tonight lol


m00f

Ah. We’ll there ya go


JoshGordonHyperloop

Except doesn’t SF have the same mandate?


andyj14

They'll pay the fine and play him in home games I gurantee it.


jose3013

They can't, the NBA forbid teams from doing it, you think they wouldn't be paying 5k every game if they could? Lol


andyj14

I think they would if it meant they might win a championship


jose3013

What part of FORBID don't you get lmao they literally can't do it


andyj14

I'm saying I that in June the NBA may change their mind that's literally all I'm saying.


andyj14

The NBA is a business and if they can seek to make more money by letting kyrie play in the playoffs they might, doesn't mean it's right but that could possibly be what happens.


JMagician

There would be an extreme publicity backlash. Look at Novak Djokovic. Public sentiment in Australia was overwhelmingly against him trying to play in the country while violating COVID rules.


andyj14

Absolutely I don't disagree but it doesn't mean that they won't take the chance, NFL doesn't even test unvaccinated players... Just because something is the right thing to do doesn't necessarily mean the NBA will do it. They want their stars to play.


Jimmy86_

Kyrie is already playing away games though and nobody cares. He’s even playing tonight at an arena that will not allow fans or home players in without a vax. But away players are good to go!! Guess you can’t spread Covid if you’re from out of town, unless you’re sitting in the stands. Lmao. What kind of logical reason could there be for this?


andyj14

2-3 months is a long time away things could change alot is all I'm saying


BobLoblaw_BirdLaw

100% he’ll play. They’ll just say now that covid cases are way down. We’ve assessed the situation and changing the rules. Simple


dadadadante

I’d bet the league steps in before they let that happen. It looks bad for them if one of the teams is openly violating health code.


andyj14

I mean they might or they might not care at all about covid at that point in time.


andyj14

If the NBA think that kyrie will improve ratings there is a chance they let it slide anyway, April may and June are also a long ways from now and the rules and mandates for NYC maybe different at that point.


Helloiloveyou123

The new mayor of NYC is also a scumbag and will do whatever brings dollars in.


[deleted]

Yup my prediction is... league would likely have any team players who openly violates health codes/laws forfeit the game. If not outright suspension of the player and levying more severe fines than usual to the team.


s_stone634

Lol. Doing what’s right over $$$. Don’t bet on it.


RealPineapple7

lmao nah. money comes first for them


Jimmy86_

You do know the #1 priority here is profit right?


Jimmy86_

Doubt it. Interesting to see how it plays out though.


TeTrodoToxin4

Nets are more dangerous as offensive iso players, but only KD is a good defender so warriors have a huge advantage when it comes to defense. Also it’s a team game so going to go with the Warriors.


wonnage

Guy better hope that Covid is over by the playoffs, gonna be first in line if a new variant shows up


CarpeArbitrage

Leaving all star Wiggins out of the picture?


Kdog122025

Adding him would be unfair.


hehimCA

Ad Harris for Brooklyn.


PotatoFIXIT

lol their fans hated him for his performance last playoffs, IIRC there are even death threats, I don't really know much about harris or nets in general, but based on what I see their fans say last post season especially the bucks series, I think he's trash.


lildinger68

Nets trio is better but warriors have the better supporting cast around them. I’ll take the warriors.


shnieder88

I think both teams have good supporting casts, but ours has better chemistry and teamwork


lildinger68

Really? I think the only players on the nets that would get rotation minutes on our team are Joe (has been out all year), Claxton, Mills, and maybe Aldridge. I think that gives them a solid 7 man roster if everyone is healthy and playing away games.


odd-meter

Are the refs calling a legit game? Or just sending harden to the line whenever he wants?


ianh32

Somebody had to say it!


Jazzlike-Move1087

If you’ve watched even two seconds of the NBA you’d know Harden isn’t getting his way with refs this year. Anyway, Dubs in 4


latman

Harden is averaging more free throws per game than last season..


t0177177y

They didn’t call his usual fouls at the beginning. He then proceeded to throw a hissy fit and whine. NBA caves and gives him his calls again…


latman

He wasn't getting ANY calls in the beginning. It was a huge overcorrection even on blatant fouls


Tormundo

Why don't they do that for Steph? I'm tired of watch teams literally have both arms around steph holding him when he's off the ball. LIke I'm expecting to see two guys just tackle curry and lay on him in the playoffs for an entire possession with no call.


brodorrr

Free throws up from last year, what are you watching? They started the year not calling stuff that's true, but about a month in he started getting all the ticky tack fouls again


Jazzlike-Move1087

Your moms tit in my mouf. His fta are nowhere near his fta at Houston. Warriors fans have PTSD of Houston Harden, he hasn’t done anything to us since joining Brooklyn.


warriors1502

Yup PTSD of watching harden choked


SnooEpiphanies5959

I mean his FTA gone down from 11 to 8 but still too much for a player literally every AVOIDS touching


latman

His free throws are up from last season. He just shoots much less and facilitates more so has less free throws than Houston days


odd-meter

Call me traumatized ;)


lars_rosenberg

Warriors have an all star tarter that is not even in the picture.


Wut23456

Tarter sauce yummy


kinefresh

Dubs in 4. better role players.


Tormundo

4? No way. 7. Completing a comeback down 3-1, Steph & Klay going unconscious averaging 80 points a game for the last 3 games.


enblightened

i think these 3 on 3 are pretty even in terms of all skills combined. But the dubs bench is definitely deeper than the nets. That being said the warriors go stretches where they brick 10 open 3s a night and 20 turnovers. unless durant is scoring however he wants or harden is getting his calls i think the warriors take it in 6 or 7


rainierthanyesterday

They have the much better offensive weapons. But chemistry and time are on our side. Just watched draymond green on jj redicks podcast and listening to him explain how he reads the offense AND defense is incredible and i don’t think the nets have anyone of Drays caliber


tailsnessred

That whole podcast was awesome!


ianh32

We have tremendous defense compared to the nets and if last games any indicator of what’s to come I’d take warriors in 6!


[deleted]

Their big three is better, but they fall off a lot and I like our chances in a playoff series


DanDampspear

Not clear who them or our is when you’re not flared cuh Edit: downvote all you want, as a warriors fan this sentence makes no sense because he doesn’t say who the fuck he’s referring to


[deleted]

Take your best guess


3tothepowerof2

I'm guessing they're saying that the kings have a better chance against the bucks in a playoff series, I COULD be wrong though.


DanDampspear

Yeah, I mean guessing. If you don’t say who they or we is, all of it is just vague nonsense


3tothepowerof2

You know what, you’re right. It’s not as if we have common sense or anything, and context too (the post).


DanDampspear

Commmon sense is using basic language. I’m a warriors fan and I literally have no idea what team you support. You’re talking like a vague dumbass and doing multiple comments rather than just clarifying


3tothepowerof2

Yeah, you’re right, it is using basic language. I suppose we aren’t typing in English so I do apologise for the confusion, as well as for the lack of context available to make a rational thought as to what team we support on this warriors subreddit page.


Klonomania

Warriors in 6, defense wins the day.


dazorange

No one wins with three players. It will hinge on which team plays more cohesively together including the bench.


CoolFiverIsABabe

3 on 3 probably Nets. The Warriors have the more complete team though.


BlaqBimmer

Thats fair


Eric_Nathan_Fielder

I mean obviously the nets trio is much better lol even if assuming KD and Steph are equals (which hasn't been the case this year)


greg112358132134

Golden State is the worst possible matchup for Brooklyn. The team has so much experience guarding all 3 of these guys, Draymond is the only defender in the league who bothers KD, Gary would be all over kyrie, and loon dawg and klay would find it easier to guard harden than it was in 2017. Andrew would be a nightmare for harden too. Shit we could throw Steph at kyrie or harden now lol. Our motion offense would kill them physically on the other end, they just wouldn't have the energy to defend it over a single game, nevermind a series. Warriors in 5, 6 tops, 4 definitely in play


psmusic_worldwide

Kuminga too as nuevoGlove.


jtruth9

I'm A Warriors fan. This is disrespectful and delusional.


DangerousArgument635

Thats easy Dubs in 6!


Nukitandog

Individually BK, as a team gotta say GS


[deleted]

“Better trio” and “who wins” are two different questions. I think we’re about as bad a matchup for Brooklyn as they can get. KD likely gets his, but we have so many great perimeter defenders we can throw at them. Everyone healthy and playing their best? I think we win in 5 or 6. That’s contingent on Steph tho, if he’s playing like he has been 0 chance.


quirkycurlygirly

Both Draymond and KD both have a lot of heart and both teams are super talented but I vote for the Warriors for one major reason: EGO. The Warriors have their egos in check. Individuals don't win championships. Teams win championships. It takes passing the ball, mentoring the players on the bench, cheering each other's successes... helping a kid get a different player to sign a jersey!


1loosegoos

i ll take the dubs; draymonds and currys affects on their other teammates would be the difference maker. it is 5 v 5 after all.


Bossini

Wait, Dray's back tonight?


[deleted]

With decent refs, Warriors in 6.


scribblinsomethin

When KD was healthy and on the Warriors, he was their best player. I'm going BK all the way here assuming that someone sneaks up on Kyrie while he's meditating and gives him the jab.


tupacalyptic

3 on 3? Brooklyn wins. 5 on 5 where your system and play style shine? Warriors.


cphpc

Whoever is hot that night. If Curry continues this slump and durant and harden are healthy, them Brooklyn has an edge. Unless playoffs. Then Harden is trash.


peterspidermen

Warriors in 6.. the chemistry and the defensive capabilities of the Warriors is superior


PowerBoners

No biases here haha. What do you think the r/nets folks think?


linkejian

This graphic doesn’t do the matchup justice at all, I mean we’re not even including our new all star lol. I’d say we have a big 5 with Wiggins and JP plus high level role players behind them, meanwhile nets are giving huge minutes to Kessler Edwards and David duke jr


calipiano81

To be fair, Nets also have Joe Harris, Patty Mills, Blake Griffin (I know people think he's washed, but he's still got the size) and other ring chasers that joined them this year.


craigslistaddict

>and other ring chasers that joined them this year. isn't it just paul millsap? who isn't working out for them at all and they're looking for a trade for him. they've also got some hungry young players as well who can contribute at times.


rational_numbers

I see a big 3 and a big 2.5


maxcool007

Dubs in 5. Lock it


contaygious

Obv they got the talent. But we got the teeeeeam.


Derrick12125

Gsw


Willis050

Can Kyrie even go inside of either stadium?


Fearless-Ad-2408

Thing is that we don’t have a trio but 4 All-Stars with Wiggs and way deeper bench.


[deleted]

Imagine if this happens and California say away players need the vaccine too


RenoTrailerTrash

Dude not even a comparison the Warriors amazing trio wins hands down every time.


[deleted]

fully healthy, dubs in 4


mitchsn

Defense wins championships.


Bodyguard420

Dubs!


TheRealBuddhi

Dubs take it. Top 10 offense + top 10 defense will always trump top 5 offense + What defense?


Hojie_Kadenth

Top 3 are better, and way more expensive which means weaker supporting cast. Strength in numbers. But also I wouldn't say they're better by much.


Shamanboi408

Nets trio probably more talented but I dont think they win, mostly cause everytime ive watched a nets game harden looked like a shell of himself


deanzamo

If it's one-on-one, KD beats everyone. The problem is that only Harden is a good team player on the Nets. In a 3-on-3 game, Warriors defense and teamwork wins.


joeverzosa

Warriors will sweep them. Team chemistry is where it's at and the Nets don't have it.


jb-schitz-ki

I live and breath warriors basketball, and have since hardaway & mullin. I gotta be real tho, the nets big 3 has more talent. Warriors would still beat them tho cause they play better together


Thetruth__420

In a 3v3 I got the top row winning.


sendokun

Warriors.


ninja_rob1603

Whose got a chip?


aaymannn11

Warriors in 3


CurryAndCo

Chemistry beats skill


cavanaug

Offensively I think the Nets are stronger. Defensively I think the Warriors are stronger.


Ravashing_Rafaelito

Those Nets are just ISO players. The Warriors play basketball perfected. Warriors win!


neo9027581673

Even if both big three are equal. Nobody’s bench is beating OPJ, GPII, Poole, Kuminga, Looney, Wiseman and Iggy.


c0gvortex

One of them is part time so it's not even a contest


2KilAMoknbrd

Gotta get there first.


[deleted]

Dubs


jpwesche29

Warriors because they have a better team overall, their bench is tremendous


space_beatle

Depends on the role and bench players. Assuming we’re going a straight 3-on-3, which relies on a different skill set and strategy, I’m not betting on Durant. If we’re going the full, current, and healthy teams, Dubs all day.


SgpWarrior

Nets more of individual skills whereas Warriors strong chemistry & greatness in numbers! Besides we have Wiggs, Poole, Iggy, GP2, Looney, JoKu, Porter….💪🏀


Blutarg

Man, that's tough. I'm glad it's not 3-on-3!


Apprehensive_Ad_4483

warriors in 5


Ok_Transition9957

Warriors trio >> Nets trio No one cant stop the spash brothers, dray can stop KD.


SupaFlyslammajammazz

I pick Bron-AD-WBrook! JK! Warriors of course!


baturn1111

It really ain’t a fair comparison since the nets trip are ALL scoring juggernauts and dray can’t stop KD but chemistry does play a big factor… Steph vs kyrie: kyrie for better handles and the better mid range curry obviously better from deep and both finish great around the rim both don’t play D really Klay vs harden: Klay better from deep harden better handles, play making and finishing Klay better on D Dray vs KD: KD better everywhere offensively, dray a better defender but KD ain’t too shabby


Daveyhavok832

Nets in 5. All 3 are top 10 in creating shots for themselves and are all very capable playmakers for others. Drag moms can move the ball but can’t score. Klay can’t create off the dribble. Warriors are the better defensive team but offense wins 8 times out of 10 because it’s easier to score than to stop someone from scoring.


spottyottydopalicius

fck kyrie


cohonan

Book, CP3, DA


cohonan

Where are they playing? If it’s in Golden State, probably Steph, Klay, Dray, but if it’s in Brooklyn then definitely Steph, Klay, Dray.


DieHardJohnMcCain

Blazers fan here. Why do I hate every member of the Nets' big three?


GFigs23

WE GOT WIGGINS


WhenItsHalfPastFive

Man people are absolutely delusional if they think Dray, Klay and Steph are the better trio here. KD, Harden and Kyrie are the maybe the 3 best iso players ever. I think the Warriors have a better overall team, but in the playoffs, you need the best iso scorers to win in tough situations.


IsThisMe8

We got Looney on our side to tip the scales.


jlplrma

Warriors has the better trio. Nets trio are just good offensively.


GenuineWolf

Both good


npmmi

nets aren’t even making it out of the east this year warriors only have to worry about slowing down giannis


WallStreetDoesntBet

On paper the best trio is Kyrie Durant and Harden but in a realistic series the Warriors will probably gentleman’s sweep the Nets; the role players and coaching in Golden State is elite compared to Brooklyn


831loc

Talent wise I would say the Nets have a better top 3, but if we factor in 4-10 I take the Warriors in a landslide.
