Brad Stevens talked on the Brooklyn Nets’ roster after the Boston Celtics experienced the wrath of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant on Christmas Day.
The Celtics’ head coach believes the Nets have the deepest bench in the league and they certainly are one of the best squads in the league.
(per Alex Schiffer of The Athletic via Clutchpoints.com):
“I think it’s the deepest team in the NBA and quite possibly – certainly in the conversation for the best,” Stevens said. The Celtics had a first-hand experience of the Nets’ team led by Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant.
On Christmas Day, Irving dropped 37 points on Stevens’ team shooting 13-of-21 from the field, 7-of-10 threes. He also dished eight assists.
At the same time, Durant added 29 points on 9-of-16 shooting to help the Nets get a blowout win over their conference rivals.
