If the Nets pull this out, this series is over IMO. KD is not going to play this badly the entire series

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


Those are good looks for him. A normal contested jumper is not the same for you when you are 6'11 with a 7'5 wingspan and lightning quick high release on your jumper. This season is the best KD has ever shot from mid range (16 ft to just inside 3)

You are correct sir.

This may not be a popular opinion but if Tatum (and Brown behind him) would absorb that passing in the flow of a team system is better for them ultimately and for the team rather than going ISO hero ball they'd be far more deadly than they already are.

The thing is, Tatum did accept a lesser role on the USA Olympic team and he did well in it and still got his. But he doesn't even have to take that much of a lesser role so much as expanding his game to include others more.

When Derrick passed him the ball, Derrick created space to get the ball back and swing it but Tatum chose to take a contested end of clock heave after inviting a double. Just not the smartest basketball and he's fully capable of unlocking even more to his already considerably talented game.

It’s like everyone on Boston has butterfingers. No one can grab a rebound or handle a pass or dribble without losing the ball. Wild.
