Swimming is good for the back, champagne is good for the mind, it's called rehab and professionalism.

Kyrie being part of a team that was favoured to make it out of the East and losing in disappointing fashion. Pretty impressive that he’s now done it for 2 franchises.

Durant trade demand to BOS incoming.

Derrick White/Marcus Smart/Daniel Theis matches salary & BKN loves point guards.

Tatum's 6th foul was a Scott Foster special.

When are they going to put Foster out to pasture? Chris Paul will be pleased too.

And get rid of Brothers while you're at it.

But hey! Ben Simmons is ready to go in game 5!

While I'm enjoying the RGM pile crapping on the Nets.

I wanted to call out that Kyrie hung back, gave everybody hugs and was a great sport about it. Credit where credit is due, I didn't see that coming.

Did Celtics players stomp on Nets logo?

In all seriousness, the nets gotta man up as an organization and demand that their players play. You can’t be a part time player or team.

Kyrie needs to play 70 games next year if healthy and they have to get Simmons to play hard for 70. No more if this I play 60 games BS .

No more vet free agents either. Get Harris back, keep curry, and get Claxton working on those FTs. I like Brown. They also need much more size out there.

At least Mitchell tries to play well with Gorbert. Something to consider going forward; alphas KD and Kyrie may never elevate eachother's game. Then it seems that Simmons' is enjoying living that life without a sweat.

Who leaves first, Kyrie or Durant?

So there's a 50/50 chance Ben Simmons plays the first game of the regular season next year?

It actually wasn’t Foster’s call. It was Sean Wright. Foster made some other horrible calls against the Celtics down the stretch though

I actually did see it coming. If you think about it for even a second you know that was the right way to go about it. People were gonna dog pile on him regardless after getting swept. If he was a poor sport about it ON TOP of that... yeah. It just would have made it worse for him.

Honestly it's a little embarrassing that Brooklyn couldn't get one win when they have Durant and Irving plus a bunch of ring chasers.
