So the Nets will lose the other 4 . They’re not beating none of the top teams without Kyrie.

Ben Simmons not playing in this game has resulted in him having a better game than Harden or Embiid tonight.

I feel like Philly is making this harder than they have to.

You have 10 minutes to go, get Embiid to the line 32 times, not much off his normal MVP pace and you’re back in this.

Harden looks cooked . I’m sorry but somebody has to say it. No burst. No mid range game. No lift. Gets his shot blocked. Looking like the same ol harden. Then you have Doc Rivers who’s an overrated coach.

Very possible. Look for the Bucks to return to the Finals if Kyrie's situation is not upgraded to full time this season.

His issue is that he doesn’t have anything else to go to once refs are not calling fouls on his drive and or he’s not making his step back 3. Dude has no mid range game at all he can go to.

Mostly Reggie tonight to Marv's credit, so far he hasn't called players by the wrong name. But Reggie just said Drummond and Steph came back to play for the 76ers tonight. He dead silence on the call for Durant's AND1 play on Embiid. Just horrific.

We really couldn't get a Van Gundy team together for a real basketball game? These guys should call the Lakers games they keep putting on national television that no one wants to see.

Marv is retired.


Fair fair, I can't recall who it is next to Reggie.

Not that it matters what his name is they've both sucked tonight.

At least unlike them I know drinking my beer that Seth and Drummond are playing for the Nets and that's all that needs to be said there.

Lol. Nets got like 8 steals from crappy hand offs at the top of the key.

Embarrassing and unprofessional, tbh.

You look at what Bruce Brown has given Brooklyn when he cant shoot and imagine a 6'10 player with elite handles and passing while guarding 1-5 and its scary.....

He could of had a legacy like LeBron or Jordan while leading the Thunder to multiple championships but he robbed himself and all of us from that possibility by being a pathetic cupcake.

That's the real thing his pure cowardice robbed us and history of.


Have you seen Westbrook play? There is no way Westbrook was helping KD win a chip. KD leaving exposed how bad Westbrook is. KD is still an MVP level player and Westbrook is the worst contract in the NBA.

OKC should've kept Harden at that time instead and maybe things end differently. KD made the smart decision to leave.


Watch Westbrook from back then not now, they also had Ibaka and other players. Westbrook was great back in the day saying he couldn't win with them is pure stupidity.

It's different also with Westbrook playing as the #1 option and playing with an in prime Durant. Durant 100% could win with Westbrook and Ibaka easily and was up 3-1 on the Warriors for a reason, got them to the finals earlier with that crew.

If Durant stayed and proved he was the best in the league like he clearly is we'd be seeing him in the finals just as often as the we would have seen the Warriors facing LeBron for those 10 years but as the main man.

Durant is Embiid + actual basketball talent.


Then why does Westbrook suck so bad now? He hasn't had any major injuries, KD has had far worse injuries. They're the same age, its because KD is an all time great and any success they had was solely because of him, like Lebron leading the Cavs to the finals in his first stint.

Sure Westbrook put decent stats, but his shooting has always been horrible and when it came to close games in the playoffs Westbrook was useless. He's the ultimate empty stats guy, he's a career 29% shooter from 3 in the playoffs. If thats youre second best player you're not going far lol. It's because of him the tripple double doesn't mean much anymore lol.
