Giannis reminding everyone why he’s the 2-time reigning MVP right now.

This one actually has the feel of the important late season Sunday games we all love.

90-90 at the end of 3.

Durant with 31.

Giannis with 38 and has only played 23 mins

agreed

some of these nets turnovers sure look chemistry related, which is understandable. gotta clean it up for playoffs though.

Basketball has been missing this!

rhigh2390 · 05-02-2021, 04:44 PM

Love KD and Giannis going back and forth. It's too bad Kyrie decided to take today off lol

Spacemanspif · 05-02-2021, 04:44 PM

This is the matchup I want to see in the ECF. I know there are some Philly fans here, but there's no way watching Embiid shoot FTs and Ben Simmons refuse to shoot compares to watching KD and Giannis turning it up to 100.

If their cards don't get a bump out of a game like this, I don't know what will anymore.

edit: almost forgot we don't even have Harden. Brooklyn is scary

kd the sniper · 05-02-2021, 04:49 PM

That 1 seed is gonna be very important in the east

tjforce · 05-02-2021, 04:55 PM

Wow What a game...

Thank you Bucks for the help at the 1 seed....

Man... We get to see this game again Tuesday!

This is how he needs to play to get a 'ship.

Props to Jrue Holiday as well for keeping Kyrie in check

Agreed, this is absolutely the matchup I want to see in the ECF. Good point about Harden too...scary to think that the Nets still have another former MVP in his prime that wasn’t in the game today.

daeve · 05-02-2021, 05:04 PM

...and if there were still any doubters about whether BG lied to Detroit.... well, uh he 100% did.

Which is why the East is the Nets to lose as long as the Big Three are all healthy.

The fact that the Nets are still in the hunt for the #1 seed despite Durant, Harden, and Kyrie all missing large numbers of games is pretty amazing.

It's really not, this is just what it looks like to have one of the most stacked teams ever.

Haha. Didn’t I hear he hadn’t dunked or blocked a shot all season until he got to Brooklyn?

He hadn’t dunked in over a year when he got to Brooklyn. I’m pretty sure he dunked in his first game there, and he’s dunked a bunch since then. Dude definitely gave up on Detroit.

Quit on his team just like Harden. No respect for clowns like this.

Players have way too much power now. Teams need to stop rewarding these guys. Long term problem for the league if they don’t do something now.

Only thing ol' Adam will do is hand the keys over to the players. Dude has no spine.

Pout till you're out...

Welcome to the new era of player brands being greater than the team
