Joe Johnson: 'Outside of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, we're more talented than them'

The first two games of the second-round series between the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets have seen the latter put up a solid fight before ultimately falling to the defending champions.

It's hard to envision a scenario where the Nets make a game out of the series, but Joe Johnson is adamant that his team is the better of the two. Well, with two notable exceptions.

"Outside of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, we're more talented than them," Johnson told the Miami Herald on Wednesday.

That's a big "outside," especially when you consider that four of the Heat's starters have finished in double-digit scoring in both contests. The Nets have yet to have more than three players deliver in that department. 

Let's also not forget that Kevin Garnett and Deron Williams posted zero points in Game 1 and Game 2, respectively, and that Ray Allen is averaging 16.0 points per game this series.

But hey, the Nets did sweep the Heat during the regular season. That's got to account for something, right?
