And how exactly is it a result of them being a super team? If Middleton was injured and Holiday was playing on one league, you believe the Bucks still win this series?
One team was healthy and one team wasn't. During the first 5 games, the Bucks played so awfully I thought just having Harden on the floor would be enough for Nets to still progress. During the last 2 games though, the Bucks and Giannis in particular made the adjustments they needed to play more like people expected them to. The Nets also had great shooters who went completely cold at the worst time. It's not like the right guys weren't out there on the floor, getting open shots when they needed. All that said, Durant was still an inch away from having one of the greatest series wins in NBA history, as far as his performances.
Also, I don't know how bad Harden's hamstring was affecting him. All I know is I've seen him in big playoff games before and his performances didn't look too different.
