Nets offense when the big 3 play (16 games + playoffs) is still a small sample, but an absurd 123.2 PP100

They are 13-3 in that span and the three losses were very fluky.

@Toronto. Kevin durant is forced from the game in the 2nd quarter due to COVID contact tracing. legit pulled off the court
@Cleveland. up 24, lose in 2OT with Sexton going peak curry en fuego mode late
@ Wiz. up by the nets allow 6 points in 2.1 seconds with harris inexplicably inbounding the ball to westbrook. with 1 second left nets miss open layup at the buzzer, lose by 1.

Kyrie back is an enormous enormous impact

The mandate should be lifted well before then. likely sometime in late feb/early March. or at least the Nets are confident it will by then.

he provides elite spacing/gravity while also giving the nets a 3 level scorer who cant play on or off the ball. its no surprise the nets cruised to 125+ points for just th 2nd time this year (1st time was OT) after having the best offense all time last year.

but, the real huge thing about kyrie is in big games/playoffs he gives the nets 3 guys (KD,LMA) who are so elite in the midrange that it goes from a bad shot to an efficient one. it breaks most defenses philosophy of trying to force teams to take that shot.

Kyrie doesnt get the appreciation he deservces for being an elite 3-level scorer and GOAT level shooter.

last 5 years he is flirting with 25 ppg on 50/40/90


Nets transition and paint attack are kinda lacking without him. He brings both even tho hes a 6'1 guard kind of like Tony altho obviously Kyrie is much more talented

with that said i cant wait until this blows up in Brooklyns face this part time **** is so **** hilarious :lol: :lol:


there is a 0.0% chance it blows up. its already been an enormous boost to the moral of the team. Kyrie is the most liked player on the team and he connects and lifts everyone up. you could see it on the court and bench and from the comments leading up to the game.

It allows Harden and KD rest in both days off and minutes while still giving the team a great chance to win every night. it also helps keep kyrie fresh and hopefully injury free for the playoff run. The nets will play 4 times as many games with the big 3 all playing this year vs. last year. so chemistry shouldnt be any worse then last year, when they looked like a well oiled machine once the playoffs started.


:lol: :lol: told you

Harden is fed up with Kyries part time bull. Now hes faking injuries so Kyrie can play alone and is checked out.

Harden isnt faking injuries. he has been playing hurt for a while. He also isnt fed up with Kyrie. They are super tight on and off the floor.

I wouldn't do a Harden for Ben Simmons trade. I'd do a Damian for Simmons trade though. Portland ain't going anywhere.

Playoffs, how good to the glue guys have to be for the big 3 to Win rings?
I respect Vegas odds and Vegas is still picking the Nets to win it all but I am picking the Warriors and betting that the Nets lose to some team in the Eastern conference finals.

Irving-Mills-Tobias-Simmons-Durant, could this five make the finals(no case over Heat, to me)?
