Nice cheap shot Blake. Guy really is a piece of #@#@#@#@.

As usual, Mark Jackson doesn’t know the rulebook. Illegal screen all day long.

Pretty straight forward if you are KD:

You need to play hero tonight and put your team up 3-1. Decent shot they can win 1 more even if Harden doesn't come back.

Brooklyn in big trouble. I think we may get to see a Giannis/Embiid conference finals. Just hope Embiid is healthy enough. Will be a good series.

Amen. I really detest the corpse of Blake Griffin.

That’s the rightful conference finals anyway. This mish mash of goobers the Nets have assembled isn’t a real team.

Brooklyn can't buy a bucket right now.

kd the sniper · 06-13-2021, 03:55 PM

By the time this series is over, hawks/Sixers might win by default. No one gonna be available to play

daeve · 06-13-2021, 03:55 PM

That pool of blood wasn't big enough for the refs to call stoppage?

kd the sniper · 06-13-2021, 03:56 PM

That 1 seed the nets gave up by playing durant against Minnesota instead of the Sixers, was a terrible decision

oldgoldy97 · 06-13-2021, 03:57 PM

This game is over.

daeve · 06-13-2021, 03:57 PM

KD's supply of adrenochrome running low? Making Middleton look like Kawhi on defense

oshmeehan · 06-13-2021, 03:57 PM

KD looks pretty exhausted out there

100%. They should have been going hardcore after the 1 seed seeing the way the East drops off after the top 3.

SDcardguy24 · 06-13-2021, 03:59 PM

Now this is the moment Bruce Brown has been waiting for

This game could get even uglier once KD has to take a breather

daeve · 06-13-2021, 04:01 PM

lol KD shouting at the refs on the sideline as Giannis shoots FT's ... it's so weird to see since I watch Nuggets so often and Jokic isn't allowed to do that without getting T'd up immediately

ballhawkdawk · 06-13-2021, 04:03 PM

Is it really a surprise that a team that wasn’t healthy all season isn’t healthy now? The idea that the Nets would magically stay healthy all playoffs seemed like a reach from the beginning.

That will be their downside for as long as they’re together. They’ve all (big 3, Blake) proven to be injury prone.

daeve · 06-13-2021, 04:05 PM

lol what in the world? Claxton got 3 fouls in there before Giannis hooked him

tjforce · 06-13-2021, 04:07 PM

Durant throwing up air balls..

yup, that's why everyone who was saying 'easy money' on them winning the ship never convinced me. They may still get there but if Harden + KD aren't 100% they're far from invincible.

^^^ 11 days ago.

And now here we are.

As a 76ers fan I hold my breath multiple times a game with Embiid. He doesn't do himself any favors diving all over the place when it's not necessary. At least the Bucks can stay on the floor.

Big shot by middelton

I dunno..I'm sure the Bucks will take this game..but you'd think at home no Kyrie, no Harden, they'd have a bit more comfortable lead. It was already down to 9 before Middleton hit that crucial 3
