He's a minstrel.


ESPN has an agenda against Kyrie and it's blatantly obvious. They are scared of him because he is not a pawn, and they've sent that loudmouth pawn Stephen A to assasinate his character like he does to so many black athletes.


Having media promote nix before game, than not giving props in a post game ( they spoke about Bucks ) , etc etc. There's an agenda out there, you cant hide it.




Look at this, even in this signature shots feature they find a way to criticise and demean Kyrie. They do not like that man at all, and it's deeper than basketball.

What kind of crap is that. We should scale bad our appreciation of Kyrie in the paint? Maybe they should make a video of Giannis and his free throw shooting percentage for his fans to appreciate.

Disgusting and blatant, they did the exact same thing to Kobe.

As soon as dude said "Illuminati ball handles" i turned it off.

Yeah look, Kyrie is an eccentric personality. We get it, but this is supposed to be bout basketball. Would they do a break down video of Gordon Hayward while taking a shot at his political leanings? Absolutely not. But ESPN has had it out for Irving since last year, and him calling the media pawns has triggered a lot of people, like Stephen A and Kendrick Perkins. Perkins acts like Kyrie slapped his wife, there is clearly something personal there.

However, it doesn't matter what they say though. Irving and Durant have stopped talking and are putting on a dominant display right now.

Except Griffin has been killing them on open 3s, and his drop coverage means a simple screen gives world class shooters like Kyrie, Durant, Harris, and Shamet wide open looks pretty much any time they want it.

Sorry Brook, I love ya, but this isn't the series for you.


I'm stunned at how often they leave Joe Harris sitting in the corner wide open on these sets. Coach Bud is either an idiot or he has no other choice but to play this way because going small versus the Nets will mean the end.

Kyrie isn't dunking the ball like LeBron so he is not a good finisher apparently. A new member of the 50-40-90 club isn't efficient enough according to them.

It's nothing personal with Perkins, he just knows that tearing down black men goes a long way in the media, especially someone like Kyrie. Look what happened, he got a long term contract recently at ESPN. Kyrie called them pawns which is exactly what they are.

They've had it out for him since he decided to leave LeBron. That is what triggered him to call the media pawns.

Perkins is a yessuh boss shoe shine boy. He's exactly the kind of scum that Kwame Brown was ranting about. I can't stand him, and the fact that he only attempted to try to make amends with KD on the day that Kobe died makes me even more sick of him.

I don't think the series is over but we can all agree that Nash has coached CIRCLES around Bud. Rotations, gameplan, adjustments, etc. Keeping the bench guys ready all year.

People in general underrated elite 3 level isolation scoring. Because so few players can get theirs anytime, anywhere against almost anyone at 50/40/90 splits on good volume. That's why the "1 ball only" claim only works when you have guys like Chris Bosh or Kevin Love involved, or with LBJ/Wade because neither of them were ever elite shooters.

KD/Harden/Kyrie all are elite shooters.

Got to give Nash credit, especially defensively where the Nets have really shut the Bucks offense down two straight games.

and if the Bucks are going to keep letting Bruce Brown get those open looks in the middle of the floor, fine by me.

What a magical night. I feel emotionally exhausted after so much joy last night. Thank you KD, Kai, Marks, everyone.

Those first 3 quarters felt like a movie... we showed no mercy. KD is on another level..incredible talent.

Blake has stepped up big time after a poor Boston series... he's been amazing. I hope he has enough juice left in the tank for the rest of the playoffs because we'll need him.

The entire team had an impact in the game.. guys like Clax, Shamet, Joe, etc all contributed.

Now let's go end this series.

Perkins is a scrub who spends all his time criticizing other players. He was never any good in the NBA so he had made a career of off hating on KD, Kyrie etc.

ESPN only wants shock value nowadays anyway. Its pathetic.

It's surprising how there isn't much free throw attempts for either team. The games has been pretty clean, we're playing amazing defense! I honestly didn't think we can take it to THIS level.

I said it in game 1, I think we're doing right by locking down middleton and focusing in on him. He's too streaky and can go out and win u a game. I'm not worried about Giannis at all. We also have to stay stuck on Forbes too cause he can make 6 threes in a game. Those are the only 2 guys that slightly worry me on offense for them. Jrue is not a guy that will go out and drop 30, maybe one game in a series but he's not that guy.
