KD and Kyrie taking turns choking.

The nets offense is so trash.

They've been doing this for 15+ years.

New to the league?

Anybody who said Brooklyn can’t play defense has to be eating their words right now.

I’ll tip a hat to that. Even if this series shaves two years off my life.

Tatum is doing a good job on KD

I don't want to hear about how skilled KD and Kyrie are, they're not built for playoff battle, time to rebuild the team around Bruce Brown, Andre Drummond, Goran Dragic and Blake Griffin, yezzir!

No, the Cs are quick and very physical, stripping the ball from him constantly not letting him get set for his shots.

As much as KD's length can be an advantage, it can be a disadvantage if he's not allowed to dribble into his pullups against aggressive defenders. He's not an overly quick player.

you're seeing the results of handchecking and physical defense, and yet some people on here would still swear that it has a small effect on offensive production

Does he look exhausted to you or is it just me? He reminds me of that O/T in G7 last year

He definitely does. Nash playing a 33 year old who already had a ton of miles on him 40+ minutes regularly in the RS is catching up to him it looks like.

TNT needs to make Stan van gundy the lead color commentator.
SO MUCH better than Reggie Miller

The problem is that the Nets are not really a 7th seed. This has the intensity of a conference finals

Good foul by smart.

Theis makes such a show of every foul like... dude. You're not on that level where you complaining about it will influence the refs in a positive way. If anything, they can't wait to foul your ass out of the game.

BKN shooting all the free throws

I used to think Claxton was more of a finesse big, but his increased physicality has impressed.

okboomer · Post #420 » by **okboomer** » Thu Apr 21, 2022 1:05 am

Airballed a foul shot.

Who wins the series?
