Might as well, no one else can do anything to stop Durant.

Brad has iced Pritchard for the playoffs nicely.

I'm going to be honest. Yeah I hate Lebron, but KD comes across as way more entitled and unlikeable IMO. He's also WAY MORE sensitive on social media lol

KD + Kyrie + Harden is such an unlikable trio.  I mean they are unstoppable, but such a bunch of babies.

A handful of years ago KD was my favorite non-Celtic player. Now he is very near the top of my most disliked list. What a turnaround...though I am sure he does not mind my hatred of him.

Pritchard did that. The guy hasn't been able to defend his own shadow of recent.

To think that the Cs fleeced the Nets with all these draft picks, now they are the one staring down on us.

The Nets failed with KG and PP, but seem to strike gold with this group of All Stars.

Two different styles of team building concept between the Cs and the Nets.

I don't give much credit to a franchise when their team building was based on superstars deciding to form a team together.

Agreed. how hard is that ?

Sure miss the days of guys staying with their teams and building from there.

Precisely.  Prior to Kyrie and KD deciding to form a superteam the Nets fanbase was greatly diminished, and what was left of it was very miserable.  A lot of them complained about their players, including Joe Harris.  They hated the LeVert pick.  They had some terrible, hopeless years.

Funny how quickly things can change for large market teams with free agency.

..I noticed.  Yeah, what’s up with that?

Yeah when he was a young up and coming superstar to be, he was fun to watch.  I guess all of the stuff adds up over the years, and the respect just gets lost along the way.

This is an embarrassing take. Any team in the world would be great if they signed KD and Kyrie for FREE and another top 5 player demanded that he only go there.

Maybe we should clear cap space so Kawhi and Giannis will want to sign here and then Luka will demand to be traded here.

You need to give the Nets some credit. The drafted good players and built a decent roster even  losing those picks. They had enough cap space to go after two players. They were also in position to trade for Harden and did. Ainge failed miserably with draft picks other than Tatum and Brown. Gambled on Kyrie and it backfired. Lost him for nothing. Lost Hayward foe essentially Fournier. Built a bad roster around Tatum and Brown the last few years. He also panicked and threw a lax contract at Kemba who was not worth it. There is a reason Charlotte didn’t do that.

Well, when 3 top 10 players decide, “Hey, you know what?.... we should all play together in Brooklyn and create a super-team” It’s not really a “team build” by the front office.

Yeah, our other players have been sooooo much better defensively.  I'm not seeing that. My favorite play of this game was Pritchard boxing out Claxton. Who were these great defenders that kept the Nets to 109 points through 3?

Remember when he was the Tim Duncan-esque humble star? Lol

Of course, when he was with the Thunder.  That seems like a really long time ago haha

I'm not sure why guys like Pritchard and Kornet aren't getting more playing time. Can we at least see what they can do?

AMEN! Both would open up the floor!
