Just shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about. Keep watching, maybe you will eventually understand basketball.

Khanben:


Lebron and KD are not in the same category. If you replace even 37 year old Lebron with KD in this current Nets team, they will beat the Celtics.
Did you observe that the few times the Nets just moved the ball they got very good looks, and their role players shot a very good percentage.

Every time I watch P. Beverley, na laff I go just dey laff.

So Lebron with all those shooters who have been making shots all series long winning, is me not knowing basketball. . Continue with the KD excuses

Khanben:


Staggered screens and KD should not be bringing up the ball at. Move the ball and find players who are wide open. They've got so many role players who can hit open shots and they are not making use of them. The whole iso stuff does not work with modern defenses especially those that switch 1 through 5 with players who have length.

I agree. That is rock solid team, with Patty Mills and Seth Curry as well. The team is underperforming

Just when you thought you have read it all..then dis

Every week una go just carry new capping come. Una no dey tire?

How did we go from disproving with receipts that Ajala did not recruit Westbrook to dis?

Lord epppppppppus

DeeMain:


You don't know the star power and leverage these top tier superstars have in this league.

Nash was in the coaching crew when KD was with the Warriors and was assigned to help KD adjust to the Warriors style of play when KD joined them. They struck up a friendship from there and it blossomed into an untested Nash getting the Nets' coaching gig once KD agreed with his friend, Kyrie, they were both coming to the Nets.

Just a reminder...

To put in context, the Celtics were the number 2 seed in the east that year and had the 2nd best defensive rating in the league. The Cavs on the other hand were 29th in defensive rating. But they had prime LeBron so it didn't matter.

These Celtics would wipe 2018 Lebron on the Nets. Never mind this older no defense playing jumpshooting version. Say na strength. Person dey drag 3pt attempts with Harden and Steph Curry this season. Strength no dey again. Omolomo dey take 8 3's a game. You think Father time na your mate?

A team with no passable defensive wing or big. Who is going to guard Tatum? Who will protect the paint for the Nets?


That Cavs was a top 5 offensive team. Boston on the other hand was 18 on offense. Compare that to All NBA level of Tatum and Brown rn. They would wipe the floor with 2018 Bron on these Nets, now talkless of the Cavs

Lol. Anytime una just hear LeBron for this group, una prick go just stand

. How can you mention Lebron that couldn't even get into the play in?

2021/22 LeBron and prime Kyrie would pipe these Celtics. No joke. Not to even mention the shooters available.

This is someone who chopped gentleman sweep from Tim Duncan and Ginobili who were on adult diapers. Despite playing with a loaded Miami Heatles


Desmond Bane is really that guy

There is something called a play in and lebron couldn't drag his team into it in the atrocious western conference and someone said he will make a difference on this NETS team.

In the words of chris brown "you can't even get in"

Lmao. Not one single person/analyst was mad at the way LeBron played this season. In fact he garnered more praises that criticism. The only thing they criticize him for is "bringing" Russell Westbrook to the Lakers and offloading the good guys. So if you think this current LeBron with Kyrie won't do better than what KD is currently doing, think again.

Check am na. All three games in this series have been close. It could easily have been 3-0 to the Nets just as it is 3-0 to the Celtics. KD has not shown up in this series and that's a fact. Just a little more production from him, especially down the stretch, and we'd be having a different conversation about this series. Have we ever seen LeBron choke like this in the playoffs? (Yea, go ahead and mention 2010, 12 years ago ) Bruce freaking Brown is outshining KD in this series. E no right naw?

Lol see am.

This is how you separate the newcomers from the rest.

Go watch the 2011 NBA finals against Dallas. They called him 75 cent

These kids are fucking athletic.

Lool. People really got fooled by empty calorie buckets that he was hemorrhaging at the other end. Just filling up a basket

This man was literally one of the worst defenders in the league which explained why his 30pts per game was not leading to any wins.

Is it not the same LeNomad we saw against Phoenix last season. Lost 3-0 to the Suns after a 2-1 lead and could not spearhead a competitive game. Abi na him twin?

What a game going on in Minnesota... Fast paced, intense with both teams going back and forth.

To imagine Desmond Bane was a Celtic pick (30th) that was traded the Grizzlies for a future pick.

KAT finally with a good game. Series tied 2-2

Lol. People are always quick to showcase their shamelessness. So only LeBron is not allowed to have a sidekick abi. As if AD didn't go down injured. As if KD is in this series all by himself. Try again bro

i feel if harden was still in the nets, this would be a better series.. at least is play making would have been very useful, and hardern is a better defender than seth curry.. those guys always played better with harden in the lineup

Sidekick ko BlackBerry ni. CP3 was playing with a bum shoulder averaging almost 11 fewer minutes cos he could barely shoot yet LeNomad with a decent squad and #1 defense could not even make a single game competitive. Yet this muppet wants us to believe same LeNomad would do anything with the Nets team

Kyrie is averaging 13pts his last two games but our resident mugu believes that is suitable production for a sidekick

Anyways charity begins at home. If LeNomad could not lead 4 HOFers on the Lakers to the play in competition only a certified mugu believes he would beat this Boston team. We don't believe you you need more people

Ah shiit, I made this guy angry again. Like he isn't already angry enough. Our resident angry man Lemme leave him be biko.

Meanwhile, the way Scottie Barnes scooped the ROTY award ahead of Evan Mobley though. Perhaps playoff qualification was the deciding factor. Cade Cunningham had no shot because of how abysmal his team was.

Lebron is not in the playoffs, and yet they talk about him more than all the games combined. If that is not GOAT worthiness, I dont know what is

Very interesting point. This is something no front office has been able to figure out - they will pay gold if they could.

Even now, if you look at the mechanics of Bane's game, there is nothing that tells you he is going to be so effective above other shooters in the league. I think some of it is attitude, which is hard to measure. Just like how can you tell Morant will be hard worker and Zion will be a slob on draft night? So I wouldnt blame celtics too much for this. Your arch enemy Tom Brady is another example.

The other half of Bane's success is the grizzlies coaching. Not just x/os, but this team is mentally mature. They play with the poise of 10 year veterans. And its not just Bane, its the whole team.

The reason they played better with Harden, was that even though he sometimes went into his dribble dribble dribble mode, he is a way better facilitator than anyone on the Nets currently. Also, KD and Kyrie respected him enough to allow him dictate the offense, thus allowing for better ball movement, which helped the the big guns and the role players get better shots.
Now, a guy like Dragic and even Mills can do the same to a lesser extent but they are not allowed to do so at all, as soon any one of them touches the ball, it seems they are just instructed to look for either KD or Kyrie.
So sadly for the Nets, the Harden trade might work out better for them in the long run if Simmons can be the player he was before last playoffs, but for this season's playoffs they would have been better off with Harden on their team.

You get the point

Grayson Allen and Bobby Portis stepping up in Middleton's absence with efficient scoring. Be like this series fit end in 5

These Bronsexuals no go kill person. No be una insert him name into conversation for series wey no concern am? Showing poor logic and poor critical thinking skills.

Nobody send your Jordan imposter. TV ratings are up in his absence for the playoffs he's losing relevance, na why desperate Bronsexuals still find means to chook am put for series wey dey happen for another conference. Meanwhile he no even make play in for him own conference

I don't know for sure that they do better with Harden. Kyrie went 0/7 from 3 yesterday and he got pretty decent looks.
The truth is KD and Kyrie have been historically bad, Harden's presence or absence will not make them suddenly start making the shots they have been missing all this while. And speaking about the Harden himself he's been average for the most part and Toronto's undermanned roster has hid this fact. If Scottie Barnes was healthy Games 2 and 3 I don't believe they are 3-1 down right now

Sheep crying wolf all the time, you dey mind dem? They satisfying their inferiority complex and insecurities by capping rubbish that I doubt they even read after typing and when you quash their lies with facts, they never come back and take responsibilities but some how they blame the entire world when they were the ones who dragged their traveler in a discourse that he could not even qualify for.

The playoff rating are on fire as one website put it, the percentage difference from last season is not even close and this is without Ajala so why should anyone even bothered? His time has passed, it passed 3 seasons ago, for me even before that. Some of us can ignore and tolerate but sometimes we can also shut the lies.
