Only 1 day off, all they need is Kyrie not to play. Nets can't beat this team with just Durant.

I usually crap on all 28 other teams who don’t win the championship every year, I want everyone else to be miserable too

Nah, he's very much ok with all this - if you listen to him, it's exactly what he wants. Being his best self on the court, that is, the most efficient and productive player possible, is just as important as winning championships - if not more. Not having to deal with major media or fan intensity in his home arena is a plus for KD, not a negative.

He's right where he wants to be.

NoDopeOnSundays wrote:Trying to compare KD and Randle is some bath salts induced logic, KD is still scoring and is going against a great defensive team. Randle got shut down by Collins and Gallo, that would never happen to KD, he will never shoot .298% from the field for a series. The Hawks defense looks helpless against an actual tier 1 star that is scoring a point per minute against them, stop looking for excuses for the **** series Randle had.

Deandre Hunter was on Randle most of the time. Collins barely guarded him. Stop it. Hawks defense looks worse now because their best defender aka Hunter isn’t playing.

It’s absolutely fair to compare KD’s situation right now to Randle. KD is the better player but this shows that even he can’t get the job done alone when defenses are just focusing on him, like the Hawks did to Randle. It just shows you can’t win alone no matter how good you are. You lying to yourself if you believe otherwise :lol:

We'll see losing has a way of changing... Everything.

I don't root for other teams to succeed. I want others to suffer, too.

He says that, but I'll wait to see how he reacts if the Nets lose and the jokes starting flying on twitter and national media starts to say he can't win anything without a super team. He's too sensitive for me to believe he's not going to lash out once the hot takes start.

I wish it was possible for every team to go 0-82 and they all pick 5th. F the free world

And Randle was getting doubled every time he touched the ball. Bucks are playing KD straight up with PJ Tucker lol
