What a compliment and non-compliment :whitepress:



I understand that. That's why one of them left but it's pretty clear that they're missing a playmaker despite against a great defense and I was talking about their previous one as well :kayneshrug:
You can think about the details like that when you have everything else on point, plus Kyrie was a good enough playmaker in Cleveland when he played second fiddle to Lebron but he thought he was getting overshadowed by Lebron and thought he could lead a team himself. Don´t forget, he claimed 2 years ago they don´t need a head coach and that he or KD could be the coach and switch with Nash whenever it is required
And KD has the same issue, he thought he was the main guy in GS, and thought he had to get away to prove that, and here we are.

Both suffer from overgrown egos for different reasons (KD with his insecurities, Kyrie on his "i know everything better" ego trip).
 
if Simmons comes back and they win four straight that be hilarious Ben Simmons haters will turn into fans just to shit on kyrie and kd even they start playing well "without Ben they would got swept he carry them" also people goin call Tatum and brown "overrated they can't be a 1sr or 2nd option

Lol...nets are done. The guy who has to regularly see a therapist because he shit his pants last time he was in the playoffs, isn't gonna bring the Nets back from a 0-3 hole. You're better off believing the Earth is Flat, ain't a chance in hell.

Kyrie & KD are secondary playmakers. They were at their best when Harden was the main playmaker and their offense looked like the best ever but obv shit happened (thanks Kyrie) and Ben is a playmaker but he's not on Harden's level 'cause he can't shoot. As for their personality, I agree with all of it. I still remember they also overruled the coach into playing DJ over Jarrett Allen 'cause he was their buddy but already washed back then.

But Harden is not "only" a playmaker, dude obviously opens up a lot of room for his teammates due to his offensive prowess.
And a third MVP-caliber player is needed for it to work....?

If they put their ego aside and accepted the circumstances in Brooklyn, put winning as highest priority and adapted, just with their abilities alone, they would be top 4 team in the east easily.

I won´t think anybody claims that Boston is crushing the Nets because they are individually better or have the best constellation of players.
 
So the nets have had no offensive scheme, have never played any defense and they let go of one of their best players who helped them peak and you guys are surprised this is happening?

I called it. Celtics were and are bullying KD and Kyrie
