Kyrie isn't a superstar. The Nets without Harden are a very beatable team. The 2019 Raps would roll them.

Hes a superstar in my eyes. Nets cant afford to lose any more to injuries but still the best team in the East

Nets are in a tier of their own. Theres no defence that can stop their offence.

Likely just a variance game on 3s for the Bucks, but man, if the Bucks can't drop over 120 on a Harden-less team like the Nets that doesn't play defense and they end up losing this series...

I didn't see the Bucks as contenders before the playoffs precisely because they can't finish games. But the injuries are thinning out the contenders and creating a golden opportunity here. Imagine losing to this team and seeing, like, the Sun's take it home this year.

Blake finally getting his revenge. People forget he was going at Giannis by himself on one knee with the Pistons. This is actually such a big turn of events I hope he stays healthy for this.

If the bucks get steam rolled by the nets (especially minus Harden). Will “Rival teams be monitoring a possible Giannis situation” ??

Oddly enough Blake is one of the best match up for Giannis in the league lol the guy just needs to stay healthy. It's almost like people forgot or didn't take him into account.

The Nets team play is really nice. Much better on offense than the Clippers where it's just give it to Kawhi/George.

Durant is an amazing player but he should've fouled out by now. He can't play Lopez without fouling a lot. But instead of calling obvious fouls he commits, he's allowed to keep playing and throwing bombs.
I thought this too. Ridiculous. Didn't get called on a clear blocking foul and hooking an arm in the third quarter.

Bud in post game still preaching to keep his guys fresh by limiting their minutes and using the bench lol. This guy never learns. It likely wouldn't have mattered yesterday because Holiday and Middleton were pretty mediocre, but he needs to smarten up next game.

I was really looking forward to this series, hopefully it doesn't become a disappointment. If Bucks lose in 4/5 games with little to no adjustments, I think he's gone.
