Looking back, when he grabbed the defensive rebound w/about 35 seconds left, the Nets should have grabbed him.His one on one bucket late in OT was a nice touch
Kind of similar to an amateur fisherman’s 8 hours and a construction worker’s 8 hoursThe fact that Harden played as many minutes as Durant was surprising to me, esp. given the injuries.
And Harden was sneaky shitty in all those minutesThe fact that Harden played as many minutes as Durant was surprising to me, esp. given the injuries.
Yeah, that’s incredible. Has that ever happened before?0 shots for the Nets bench.
0.
Two time MVP brings big/unrealistic expectationsHe was a beast all series, the nets had no answer for him as expected, and yet if durant had hit that last miracle shot and the nets won people would have blamed him and not khris and jrue for the loss
SBDAnd Harden was sneaky shitty in all those minutes
If not for the bank 3 the extent of his contribution was all those shitty/fraudulent shooting fouls.And Harden was sneaky shitty in all those minutes
Sometimes those Benzos hit.What happened to Jeff Green? Injury flare up? 13 minutes and didn’t attempt a shot.
2-12 from 3, with one being that bankerIf not for the bank 3 the extent of his contribution was all those shitty/fraudulent shooting fouls.
I love how much you hate Harden.And Harden was sneaky shitty in all those minutes
And I actually hate Irving more!I love how much you hate Harden.
32 and 13 on good shooting seems to be meeting those expectations, especially when he didn't get much helpTwo time MVP brings big/unrealistic expectations
Amen, brotherAdios Nets!
KD is a joy to watch and delivered, but the other two pricks can go fuck themselves for eternity and the bearded fuck go figure out a natural shooting motion.

seems pretty on brand to meIt’s very interesting how harden gutted it out and played hurt, but Kyrie didn’t even attempt it.
Now it goes alongside Jerry Wests 70 footer against the Knicks in 1970. Sends it OT, but Knicks win. (Not a game 7 though)Durant was about an inch from one the greatest shots in NBA post season history
I'm hoping the enforcement of the new rule will cause a Sammy Sosa-like end to Harden's career.Adios Nets!

The block was huge, but I'm stunned that Harris didn't make the 3 after the ball bounced to himBrook Lopez blocking KD’s layup with 60 seconds left and the game tied was so huge.
Celtic killer Middleton with the clutch gamewinner mid-range jumper.
Great game to watch.
Well, Bud has learned that he can't limit his max contract guys to 36 minutes and win. That's one small step forward.He took over from Kidd.....
But really Bud has a rep. His teams really maximize the regular season, then come playoffs when teams really game plan for you and lock in, they get shredded while he looks bewildered and disheveled. He's really good at one thing.
The grimace on KD's face when he found out it wasn't a 3P was an All-time look. I've got to think it's going to be a viral meme.It’s very interesting how harden gutted it out and played hurt, but Kyrie didn’t even attempt it.
I'll enjoy speculating how Irving playing may have actually been a wash, as he would have taken away part of KD's superhuman performance.And I actually hate Irving more!
KD is for sure fun to watch, but he's also almost as fun to root against as LeBron. I'm not shedding any tears that this superteam attempt went down in flames year one.Adios Nets!

Only one bench player for either team (Connaughton) attempted a single shot tonight. The Nets were 1-11 in OT, fatigue finally set in.0 shots for the Nets bench.
0.
And in the games yesterday we had Tyrese Maxey, and Terrance Mann suddenly step up and carry their teams at time.Durant played superhuman basketball this series. I wonder how this would have played out if Nash didn’t tighten up his rotation so much.
Role players tend to be more reliable at home in the playoffs.
One can only dream of a 1/15 FGA with 2/12 FTA from Simmons tomorrow.The wrong team traded for Harden. Sixers would be the prohibitive favorite for the championship with Harden instead of Simmons right now. But for Schadenfreude purposes I don't hate how it turned out!
Trust me, I wanted the Nets to implode in glorious fashion and am sure enjoying this.KD is for sure fun to watch, but he's also almost as fun to root against as LeBron. I'm not shedding any tears that this superteam attempt went down in flames year one.
There aren't any real belles of the ball left though. Besides Trae the distributor, as opposed taking 30 footers, the Hawks and Sixers are tough watches. Then the Clippers haven't been too attractive, and I'm not counting on the Suns to look great without CP3 early in the series.I know we are supposed to hate the Nets, but the Bucks are so unlikable. They play such ugly basketball. Really hope they don’t make the Finals.
The Suns are clearly the belle of the ball. Devin Booker is beautiful to watch.There aren't any real belles of the ball left though.

A war of attrition the rest of this postseason. Grit and balls more than pretty basketball.
