I would say if Durant was the one out that would be problematic for BK.

Good call, didn't think about one.

I told a friend that I think as long as 2 of the Nets big 3 are healthy that's still enough.

I would say if Durant was the one out that would be problematic for BK.

Beat me to it! Agreed.

Just looked at schedule and since this started first they are spacing out between games 3 and 4. Bucks and Nets only play twice in next 6 days.

Yeah that makes sense. They'll do that.

Good call, didn't think about one.

Interesting question would be: if you’re the Nets would you rather roll with Kyrie and Harden out indefinitely, but KD at full strength…OR…Kyrie and Harden at 100% but KD out indefinitely?

I said Middleton is an elite scorer and gunner being an absolute troll took that to mean the same thing as being an elite player. Middleton would average 27 or 28 ppg on a team that didn't have Giannis and jrue holiday.

I'll take Kyrie and Harden. KD never won a ring on his own, I've seen Kyrie win one playing alongside another superstar.

I’d say Dallas is the best bet for a new super-team out of Portland, Milwaukee, Dallas. I could totally see Dame in Dallas.

Definitely the best bet for a superteam, but I think near term McCollum is realistic and maybe a nice match for Porzingis’ salary. Although Portland wouldn’t do that.

Pretty solid quarter from Denver to only be tied.

This gonna be a great series, Denver v Phoenix!

Getting the popcorn ready...

Any combination with Durant. Duh.
Edit: Re-read your question. Hhmm. I'd still maybe say Durant alone, and hope a couple other dudes step up bigtime.

Do you happen to follow Magic Johnson on Twitter?

I do not. What'd he say?

this is the weakest playoff team the Nuggets have seen since 2018

I feel for Bucks fans. You draft an all-world talent, but its tough to sign great FA's as a smaller market team. Same thing with Dame and Portland.

Problem is they did an abysmal job drafting the past decade as well as keeping players till they have no value anymore like Brook Lopez.

Rough game for Monte

Ha ha. Thanks man.

There you have it. I called it!

 

[mynameisjonas]

What an epic choke job.

Coach Bud might be done after this. Maybe u don’t beat the nets but gotta at least be competitive. Getting dominated by Nets D, one of the worst in the NBA is embarrassing.
