This is why basketball is so much less interesting than football. 100 + points but even a 19 point lead is usually secure.
In football, even a 30 - 11 score is far from over. Two TDs with 2 point conversions plus a field goal, equivalent to about an 8 point basketball lead.
Even though Kyrie Irving’s refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19 relegated him to being a part-time player this season — and hurt the Nets — he has doubled down that it was the right choice for…
American idol. And he's an Aussie idol too since he has citizenship there. Well actually, he's a world idol because anybody can look up to his heroic efforts. He does the right thing even though people inevitably and wrongly hate and slander him. That's a true hero. Too bad other humans have so many undesirable and disturbing characteristics that good individuals have to put up with consistently.
10 points in 40 minutes to drop another game and fall back 0-2 vs Boston.
KD and Kyrie combined for 1-17 in the 2nd half collapse yesterday's game, blowing a 10 point halftime lead. They'll bounce back, but that is downright embarrassing.
The Nets are basically just 2 guys that are amazing offensive players. No one else on the roster would even start for any of the other playoff teams.
Nets wiil probably win a game or two if KD or Kyrie gets hot but I don't see them winning four at this point. Celtics defense is too good.
Just imagine if one of those 2 players had spent the season trying to help build an actual team and improve his teammates, rather than taking a misguided personal stand that made no impact on the world.
I feel bad for KD. He's getting cranky lately, but he keeps getting stuck in these situatinos where his reputation takes a hit out of no fault of his own.
0 for 7 from 3! He must not have enough “mRNA goop” in his system to connect on those shots.
Or again, maybe his vaccine status has nothing to do with his play. It almost certainly has had an effect on team chemistry, though.
He is very egocentric. Anyone who would repeatedly make an obscene gesture in front of thousands of fan, and many children who look up to him, does not think of others.

They certainly “bounced back” last night combining for 32 points which was 7 points less than Jayson Tatum scored. The Celtics’ defense is killing these guys.

News flash: kids don‘t care. They either already do it themselves or don‘t know what‘s going on. 8-9 year-olds aren‘t the little angels you think they are. They are a lot more like Kyrie (attention-seeking, dumb, and foul) than you give them credit for.
Nets are toast. I guess the whole “we don’t need a coach” thing doesn’t work after all. Who’d have thunk?
