Great game by KD. Best stat is all 48 minutes.

76ers did collapse, mostly, but at least Embiid is playing on one knee. What's Giannis and Middleton's excuse?

Best stat is 49 points, come on now!

I’m not a KD fan but that was an amazing performance from an all time great! Let’s see what the bucks can do at home in game 6.

The question is whether or not the Nets can win this series with a semi-healthy Harden and no Kyrie. It's easy to pile on the Bucks right now and give them little to no chance, but at the end of the day KD had to play 48 mins and have arguably the best game of his career to eek out a win at home.

Lebron clearly doesn't have it.

People blaming the Bucks and yes, they choked, but KD.......

He is a bad, bad, man.......

You must have missed the game. Who is stopping him? Jeff Green and Blake Griffin, flopping on his drives and post-ups the entire game. He fouled out.

Where my cookiez??? lol

mossoholic · 06-15-2021, 10:14 PM

Legacy game for Durant if the Nets will the title. Maybe the best performance of his career. Awesome 2nd half to watch as an NBA fan.

Yep, that's why he's been to more finals than all of them.

Coach Bud should have had Giannis guarding KD 3rd quarter and on….

I’ve seen these guy put up points all the time. I’m more impressed by playing all 48. Most guys take the rest. Just shows how bad he wanted it. He knew how big this game was and nothing was coming between him and the W.

blackbears86 · 06-15-2021, 10:15 PM

and guys, can we just stop with the lebron bashing??? Do you miss him that much?

He's been out of the playoff for almost two weeks, but apparently still living rent free in your hater heads

don''t worry space jam is coming out soon!

Doesn't get much better than that as a fan of the game

I really don't like Durant but you can't be anything but impressed with that performance.

Don’t forget Green. Without his performance you just see a wasted performance by KD

apparently not too pleased with how things are being run and may want more creative control than just "give luka the ball" ... he'd probably have that in Mil because they don't have a Luka and could benefit from some more creative coaching... also dude hasn't won a playoff series since 2011, might be time for a change of scenery.

KD a legend....but got-DAMN Jeff Green with 27?!?

Only because people talk about him being #2 all time. Yet he's never had an all time playoff game. This was an all time game by the best player in the NBA.
