Probably 6’9, but his length is insane.

KD gonna pass the torch to Tatum as best US born player in the league after this series. Prediction.

That likely was the biggest sequence of the whole game, now the lead looks like how the game has felt -- Celtics in control, leading by 11. Looked for a little like Brooklyn might steal this one, now it will be tough.

Reason I felt the Nets wouldnt win in the first round is because KD/Irving would have to put up damn near 80 combined every game to make up for the defense. Thats not sustainable in the playoffs especially for two guys with the mileage they have.

KD needs to eat more good food, he looks weak and hungry today

Nets were tied at half with Durant underperforming.

Nets were outscored by 11 in the 3rd quarter with Durant playing a very good quarter.

Thats why those "Nets are tied at the half even with Durant playing poorly" statements don't say much.

Keeps trying to force his way to his spots and keeps getting stripped. Don't know what changed between now and Tuesday when he was sending dimes to his teammates.

Come on, Boston. One more quarter..Even if KD end up playing bad in this game, Stephen A and Skip are going to defend him like their lives depend on it.

I really don’t know how you can watch the game and think that. They’re calling a tight game which does not benefit us at all. Quite the opposite

What a great play to start the quarter.

I can't for the life of me see Durant being this bad over the course of the series. His scoring will pick up.

What I'm more concerned with is how effortlessly Boston changed up their game plan in the face of a tied game, and Nash has no idea how to respond.

2016 KD says hi.

Stay tuned for the rational and well balanced post-game threads discussing it.

The Celtics said pick one good Durant offense or good role players offense, can't have both.

Celtics aren’t in a terrible situation either.

No doubt, but if Nets lose this, they know they have plenty of potential unused here.

KD needs to eat 13 Caribbean lobster tails, 1 chicken breast and a dragon fruit-raspberry-mango smoothie

I think last postseason proved we're far past that version of KD.

Then again, Tatum is taking on the challenge of defending KD straight up and the results speak for themselves. KD will have his work cut out for him. Still, as I said before, I doubt he's this bad consistently throughout the series.

The Nets aren't going to get too many games like this out of Dragic. Curry needs to step up.

Didn't look like a good quarter from KD to me.

Who wins the series?
