There is no defense for KD.

Hes playing like garbage.


Wow. Are you watching.

Every shot has been contested. Hands in the passing lanes. Strong doubles causing turnovers. It’s the defense.


KD never gets good looks tho. This is who he is. He shoots over hands contesting all the time. I will say that this might be the first time ive seen someone block a KD jumper

The Nets are legitimately playing better without Durant right now.

Thats how terrible hes been.

Kyrie saving us without food and water.

Kyrie is a villain. But he's not one of those black/white villain. He's complex. He donates to charity is nice to his fellow man. But also has hidden a nuke somewhere within New York City because of some complex reason far beyond our understanding.

The biggest challenge for the Celtics in this series will be not becoming demoralized by Kyrie/KD heavyweight punches. They will inevitably make dumb shots. You have to stay on your feet and keep punching back.

You act like this is some revolutionary strategy.

He deals with it all the time. Hes missing shots he normally makes.

If the Celtics lose this game there is no point of trying more. Just forfeit the series.

KD is having a worse night than KAT in the play in mostly because he is no fouling himself out of the game.

He is the tallest man on the floor yet he has only 3 rebounds and the Celtics 12 offensive rebs.
He 18 points on 19 shots.
His man Tatum is having a big night.
Turnover machine.

You can't play worse than that and the game is still close thx to Kyrie.

He's an antihero to me. Not a villain.

You guys are doing a great job on KD. Problem is that Kyrie is cooking y'all like Burger King. It's hard to shut both of them down for an entire game....

Kyrie can go supernova at anytime, call him crazy all you want but on the court the dude seems to never get rattled and is always ready for the moment.

KD hasn't been that bad, guys around him haven't stepped up. He's been forcing some things, but it's 7 ft KD. He'll make it work
