Oh there's no doubt Kyrie told the truth. Trust me, I'm well aware of Boston's history, particularly the fans, and I know it's shameful (to say the least). So I have no doubt Kyrie was just 'keeping it real' so to speak. I'm just not sure if kicking that hornets nest will be to our advantage or disadvantage in Boston, starting with Game 3?

But I'm a professional worrier, always worried about making mistakes. I feel like when you have a wild animal wounded, you don't poke the wounds, but quietly go in for the kill. BTW I'm not a hunter, it's just an analogy, but I digress. Anyway Proko made a good point, no matter how motivated they are it won't turn Tristan Thompson into KD, but it could inspire Jason Tatum to finally drop 40+ on us. Like I said, I'm a professional worrier.

That said I hope the Nets make it all moot and drop another beat-down on them in Game 3.

If that happens I believe Boston checks out for Game 4 and it's a sweep, which is what I'm hoping for.

To be honest, i dont think its more likely boston is sympathetic of Kyrie then it is they are motivated to beat us by it.

Tatum/Kyrie/Smart/RWIII are BFFS. Smart knows first hand about the racism. Tatum too. RW3 and Brown are SUPER active with BLM and anti-racist movements. They may not publicly back Kyrie because of the PR it would generate, but behind the seens they are nodding in agreement with Kyrie.

Trust me, Smart/Tatum want it to be about basketball, just like Kyrie

Those clowns in Boston want Marcus Smart and Robert Williams to hard foul Kyrie because he had the audacity to tell them to keep it about basketball and not call him the n word. if that isn't a big, HUGE tell I don't know what is.

guys who worship kyrie arent going to hurt kyrie.

To the outsiders who don't watch every Nets Game like we do, this may seem like no big deal, but WE know better. We know this is a BIG HIT. Jeff Green has been Mr. Versatility and fantastic for us all year off the bench. Hopefully Claxton, who figures to take the bulk of his minutes according to Coach Nash, can step up his game to how he was playing this year when he got healthy.
