This series was over the second Nets lost game 1. That was the best Nets you’ll see this entire series

I literally can’t remember the last time KD was clamped like this. Man has gotten his jump shot blocked in back to back games and I thought that was impossible to do.

How is that an easy call SVG? Occasionally I get annoyed with him, has some odd takes on fouls.

KD this series like like LeBron in 2011 bad. So bad you can't really find an explanation for it

BK needs to get KD the ball in the post at the elbow. Cut all that dribbling out at the top of the key. As few dribbles as possible from here on out.

To further your metaphor, that would mean the Celtics are the Sandman. It's no secret how elite they are on the defensive side of the ball.

Respectfully, this is why the 'we don't really need coaching', no matter how lightly it was said, resonates poorly. You NEED a system that incorporates other players, that raises that floor when the stars can't raise the ceiling.

He's rattled. I think he's made it far easier on Boston to actually defend him since the second quarter. He's not playing smart and he's not playing team ball. He's making decisions that play into Boston's hand.

I can’t wait for KD to get excuses for his bad bad games while some other players get crapped on

As messed up as the Celtics have been on offense (a lot of credit to Brooklyn for that), I've never seen a team defend Durant this well.

Kyrie had better start appealing to the mayor or he might not be able to survive those home games at his rate
