After the game 4 press game I'm fairly convinced that Durant doesn't give a sh*t anymore.

I have no issue with this really. Tatum, Brown, and Smart are actually friends with Kyrie. I think Theis is cool with him too.

Nope not me... Clown doesn't get a pass.... Kyrie's determination and effort to win the series dropped after gm 1....

no. not getting a pass from me....

He definitely showed how buddy buddy he by playing soft AF where as his Boston friends flat out ran over him and beat him down.

not happening with me. no.


I mean, I understand. I was just pointing out the fact though. Kyrie and those guys are really close. Especially Kyrie and Tatum (there's the Kobe connection between them as well as both were close to Bryant). I'm mad that we lost but that stuff doesn't bother me. Most players in the league have known each other since they were kids.

That's our cornerstone player/management right there

Just realized right now... so he posts a tweet, publicly to congratulate the opponent who stuffed him and HIS Nets in a sweep.... yet doesn't give a public appreciation to his OWN TEAMMATES in the playoff exit????

Last season and going into this season, MANY Celtics fans were pissed at how friendly Tatum, Brown, etc was buddy buddy with KAI after losses/getting smacked.

Like it or not, I think these guys are just friends off the court and have no ill will towards each other. Yes, BOS/BKN fans might disdain each other but that's just not how these guys feel about each other.



Hell, I don't even have any ill will towards Boston's players. Or Ime. They flat out destroyed us and you have to respect how they did it.

Their fans are the ones I don't like.

what about him showing up for a playoff series?????

the guy gave up after gm 1... there was no kill in him... no urgency, no desire to compete hard and play to win.....

Durant is the biggest cornball for letting Kyrie **** Irving dictate where his next destination would be. Two peas in a pod, they deserve each other. The only consolation for nets fans they're two of the best players in the league..but it means nada unless u win.

How TF are u GRINNING from ear to ear seconds after u lost? Dapping up the team that swept you, hugging and overly congratulating everyone and they mama... That **** was crazy. I'd be SICK if i was a nets fan...

Same way like Carmelo did in knicks uniform , all smiley after lost game

You’re right, Kyrie game 1 was a type of a player i admire , almost Jordan , Kobe mentality

Kyrie game 2-3-4 was ,well let’s just say soft like charmin

I don’t care if he going to cancun with Tatum and they gonna sleep in the same bed , but on the court he’s your enemy , or did Kyrie forgot he’s not a Celtic anymore ?

I thought Kyrie played really hard games 2 and 3. He just didn't shoot well. He was defending, crashing in for rebounds, driving the ball hard to get to his spots. just didnt fall. maybe fasting, who knows. Game 4 he was not very aggressive at all. The few times he was he got to the rim too. But I dont think there was a ton of difference game 1 vs. game 2/3 other then the ball going down for him.

I think the early game 1 start helped him. a 7:30 pm start thats 4 more hours of fasting then the 3:30 start.

Either way, he didnt get it done or produce like a star. but I dont think it was a drive/effort thing

I don't have a problem with this. Do you really need to hate everyone who isn't on your team? Especially in the Free agency/trade era with tons of movement He was teammates with those guys for 2 years. I'm sure they built relationships.

Nets 110 - 106 Knicks

It doesn't get much worse being a lifelong Knicks fan.

EDIT: Damn, I might become a Nets fan reading this. I already stan KD, Kyrie, and Ben (in a creepy way) and Brooklyn is the best borough anyway.


I was hacked :lol:
Good one mods
Peace 8-)
F$+*k the Nets.
