James Harden Calls Milwaukee Bucks, Not Brooklyn Nets, the Team To Beat in the East
Going into the NBA 2021/22 season, the Brooklyn Nets are expected to be major contenders to take the Eastern Conference and make their way into the Finals. With a superstar team led by Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, the organization is considered to be one of the best teams on paper. Though that may be the case, Harden still does not think that the Brooklyn Nets are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. When asked whether or not the Nets feel as if they have a target on their back, he said that since Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Finals, that they should be focusing on them instead.

Every MMA fighter that has represented us doing this has looked terrible but this takes the cake.” In a post-throw interview, McGregor admitted that the throw was not his best work, but he did not seem too torn about it.
