I'll sage every time from now on if Kyrie keeps this level of play. Definitely in MVP conversion right now, amazing!!!

Kyrie and Kevin have preached about this being a process. Every game is an opportunity to learn and improve.

I wasn’t upset that we were down early. The important piece is always how we respond when faced with adversity. That’s why I said at halftime that I was interested in seeing how we’d respond in the 2nd half.

Even though we were battling back and forth in the 2nd quarter, I thought we responded well to BOS physicality in the 1st quarter. Kevin woke up in the 3rd quarter and we stopped being sloppy.

Tough regular season battles will help prepare us for battles in the postseason. I love how we responded and kept getting better throughout the game.

This was a much needed game. We saw the Nets face adversity with the poise of a champion.

I'm about to sage everywhere now. I'll sage in a damn pick up game. I'll sage at work. I'll sage in church. Hell, I'll sage when I go to the shower.

Vegas learned a hard lesson today. LOTS of people ate good because of the Nets tonight.

Show some damn respect. That -2.5/-3 spread was insulting.

Confession...

Even though Tatum plays for BOS and is one of the picks King gave to the Celtics, I’m always happy that he turned out to be a great player. I remember watching him at Duke and I was surprised that people actually thought Lonzo and Fultz were better prospects. I remember discussing him in draft threads and he was my #1.

PHI has got to be kicking themselves. I would include the Lakers too but they traded Lonzo in the AD package and already got a title and a superstar out of it.

They looked really good. Some issues to work out but it just shows even when they aren’t playing their best they still can dominate. Caris relaxed and played his game. He would pressing a little too much and calmed down. Durant lead us and Irving killed it. This team is scary good

KD and Kyrie are some bad boys...

That 2nd half was straight up scary.

KD + Kyrie COOKED in the 3rd quarter. They go to the bench, Cs think they have a chance to chill. NAH. Caris + JA start cooking and push the lead. Starters come back in - maybe they're out of rhythm. NAH. Straight crush their spirits right off the bat. :lol:

I like both Tatum and Brown tbh, they are solid players. Brown as a person I really like as well, dude really gets it

The funniest part was that they were dumb enough to challenge that Smart blocking foul. All that did was give KD and Kyrie more time to rest before they buried them.

Honestly I think the Nets depth is better than giving it al up for Harden, as long as KD and Kyrie stay healthy
