Kyrie's reactor that converts negative to positive energy looks broken

Brooklyn can count on losing any leads they get because their defense is so placid. Celtics are getting the sweep. Don't @me.

Again if BKN loses this series and management wants to go away from Nash, will KD and Kyrie oppose it?

KD cannot dribble against this aggressive BOS defense. This is where he misses the GS offensive system where he would get good looks playing off ball

But but but, he can pull up from THUUUURTY. Iso Scoring is all that matter, that’s why KD is the GOAT.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Unlike Giannis he don't want that smoke down low

Who needs timeouts when you can just tell your team to settle down after every bucket given up

Seeing Durant get stuffed is deliciously satisfying-- like a moist, warm, soft cake; seeing him shoot an icy 28% is like rich, creamy fudge frosting atop the cake. Seeing the Nets lose is a cold glass of whole milk after I've eaten the cake.

This series is finished. Durant is the biggest fraud in the NBA if he isn't secretly injured

Refs are allowing KD to get bodied up for the first time in his career and he doesn't know how to handle it. His dribble is high and can be picked off. His shot is very high but defenders are being allowed to get into his chest.

Interesting

KD leaving gsw turned out to be a slight against his legacy. Never listen to fans.

There’s too many bad matchups defensively for the Nets.

Then on offense, Kyrie is gonna have to carry the load — Durant can’t get efficient looks against this team.

No way the NBA lets a sweep happen.
