So Kyrie and KD just come out smelling like roses out of this to you? Lol

If the Nets coach was Gregg Popovich, they've a 3-peat in the making.


No way of proving it but absolute confidence on 3-peat. Nice.

I think the defense drives KD's game, he talked about it in the Redick pod. If he has a wide open guy at the 3pt line and that guy is a Mills/Curry type shooter, he'll make that pass all night.

I think Udoka is due for a defensive strategy adjustment. He barely got away with it the first game, but this one is not going his way.

Oof, that was unlucky. Smart doesn't get a hand on that looseball and Brown is running free for a dunk that blows the lid off.

I'm surprised Kyrie tried to make a play on that.

Nash is a failure for not being able to get Durant the ball in iso post ups.

I feel like every time I look at the TV this series (haven't been able to watch closely either game), Durant is getting stripped and losing the ball.

Yep LOL

To be honest for me it's more about being in a different bracket than the Sixers.
At least when you lose a game to Celtics or BKN you lose because of basketball reasons, you have something to work on for the next game. When you lose to Sixers you lose to refs and free throws and there's **** all you can do about it except be angry. Extremely frustrating.

It's wild how little Durant/Irving have handled the ball to this point.

Best defense ive ever seen on Durant. He's being sloppy too, but they're all over him.
