Two dozen free throws and then the Nets fans complaining about why Embiid is getting so many.

Problem is Jo isn't receiving FTs like he should be. If Jordan can get away with some of the **** he has in this game we might have a problem.

The Nets basically have ONE dude to cover and he's 9-11. This is exactly why I always argue that defense is overrated. In playoff level games with really good teams, great offensive players beat great defensive players over and over.

It was definitely a great shot, but that's a bold statement. Jordan hit one over Russell in the Finals. You may be too young to have seen that? Christian Laettner hit one against Kentucky back in his Duke days that was also a "where were you moment." Again, you might be too young to remember those.

I'll add Kawhis against us which was probably the greatest, and Ray Allen against Spurs

The Jordon shot was cool (pushoff). The storylines behind the Kyrie one were just incredible though. Like you couldn't have written it any better.

Losing to them after being out with injury the year prior, 73-9, down 3-1. Over Steph in the dying moments of game 7 at Oracle. Like c'mon.

????

We're wining precissely because the Nets defense is so bad the rest of the team is shooting 55% from the field while Joel is having an ass game.

Meanwhile the Nets need a guy having and 90% FG on the night to stay in the game by 7.

Seth is as good of a shooter as Steph... if he's not moving and no one is contesting the shot.
