Any attempt at playing up in kyrie kd or harden ends in a flail and whistle lay off a lil bit and it’s a bucket just can’t play defense.

Ill News wrote:What a talent drain we've had these past two years, either through injuries or free agency. We went from having 4 All-Stars in Tatum, Brown, Kemba, and Hayward. Now we're down to just Tatum. What a sad state our franchise has found itself in.

Was actually thinking how dope it would be with a series like this if we had Hayward, Brown, Rob and a healthy Kemba.

Anything that gets in the way of that is not important. Even player development. Make the moves.

I'd argue we're missing Rob more than Brown in this one, no defensive structure inside at all

This is why you trade Brown for Harden… same reason the Clippers traded everything for PG. If youre able to stop an unbeatable super team from forming, take the **** shot.

This Nets trio is the second most talented team in the past 20 or so years. Arguably #1.

Everyone knows I’m not a Kyrie hater, and I defend him quite a bit.

What a front running little ****, needs a hard foul STAT.

Whatever defensive scheme they are following is trash. And no it is not because the Nets are very good.

Celtics also have to get back to playing tough defense.

This year’s “I hope he misses” defensive was sickening

I'm more mad that they let Kyrie have a good game. The crowd should be cursing him every possession, why are they dead right now?

We legit could have kept Smart, with what the Nets gave up.

Kemba/Smart/Harden/Tatum/Tristan would be the best team in the East.

Just glad we didn’t get swept like the Heat and soon to be swept Wizards.

mine as well play the bench rest of the way.

pritchard, nesmith, langford. our 3 young guys who could be key pieces for us long term - I want as many mins as possible for those 3 during the rest of this game.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
