Brooklyn Nets star James Harden knows the Milwaukee Bucks are no easy opponent. But he's aware of just how good this Nets team is, too.

They just soared past the Miami Heat in four games and are playing extremely good basketball right now. The Nets are going to have a tough time slowing down the Greek Freak, but with their own superstar trio, even the Bucks' defense will have problems containing them.

Buckle in. This is going to be a fun ride.
