Who’s the internal accountability guy on the Nets? That’s going to be interesting. If you want to win a title, you need that guy.

Do the Nets have dinner reservations tonight or something? They don't seem to give a pissing schitt right now

playing kd and harden together seems really awkward. with no kyrie i would stagger them for entire game.
Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.

Nets got nobody besides Harden and Durant. They desperately need Kyrie out there.

Was Harden at the club last night or does he just not care?

Hopefully Aldridge is just rusty and out of shape, but dude looks and moves like he's 55.

James Johnson should be playing ahead of Harris. A switching defense takes away Harris's wide open shots, the only shots he'll take, and Johnson is much better defensively.

I am so glad refs are not falling for Hardens flopping.

The magnifying glass is going to refine on World B. Flat with each Nets loss/slow start.

Nets are coasting like they were the ones who received their championship rings and don't have anything to prove.

Not everyone keeps a constant watch on the Brooklyn and LA retirement homes


You're posting on an nba basketball board obsessed with both. So that makes less than no sense.

Obsessed with both? This might be the first time I said anything about either team in months but ok

0 TOs by MIL so far, Nets gotta pick up the pressure and force tougher sets. Also MIL doing a real nice job playing within their flow and not doing too much, I like it.

It’s very rare to see KD struggling to score with ease. That’s his bread and butter, he isn’t elite at anything else but that. Harden is truly the head of the snake on that team, he’s like LeBron in a way, he still has elite playmaking and know how to make the right plays when he’s struggling to score.
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

Yeah, they have a scapegoat in Kyrie, however, so far in the game, the Nets just aren't playing with consistent energy. They are just jogging back on the defensive end, and just coasting.

Winning a title I think will give the Bucks confidence now that the monkey is finally off their back. No more talk surrounding Bud, Giannis, or Middleton so I expect them all to be a lot more relaxed than previous seasons. Plus they probably still hear all the early predictions discounting their chances this year so they might have a chip on their shoulder

Middleton jumps forward a good 2 feet there.
