I refuse to the believe the 76ers goin actually blown a 3-0 and lose the series there no way we gon witness that for the first time in history nick nurse will be the greatest coach ever and all the players on the raptors will be in the hall of fame 
I think it rigged for the 76ers to go game 7 beat the raptors and then people goin say Philly have no shot to beat Miami then they win game 1 or 2 in Miami 
it the perfect setup Im not falling for it nba

Never thought a day in my life I'd see the Nets get swept in any round, let alone the first. Not gonna lie, it feels good to see them lose like that. The supposed best offensive duo of all time just like that got cleaned up. That was an amazing series to watch. Super competitive and tight from start to finish. Wasn't an easy sweep by any means but the Celtics just proved that they were the better team each and every night.
Also, ain't no way the Sixers bouta blow a 3-0 lead like that. 💀

Nah. This one's mostly on KD he set this whole thing up including Kyrie.
Nets would have gotten rid of Kyrie if not for KD. KD failed not only with his on court performance but he completely failed leading this team in any way off the court and with the front office.
Never have I seen a first option escape scrutinee the way KD does. And he seems to be doing it again, atleast compared to what someone who people argue is the best in the game should get.

Right, Kyrie has never been considered as a top 5 player of the league and a top 15 NBA player of all time. This sweep doesnt impact Kyrie's legacy much but it will surely be a big dent in KD's legacy. KD started to believe the nonsense from media such as he is unstoppable, he was the best in GSW by a mile, GSW needed KD more than he needed them blah blah.
lol, this reminds me of when Brooklyn fans chanted MVP for Steph in KD's own building =>

They refer to that shortly, and i don´t disagree with that.
I am not saying KD is not at fault (insecurity that led to leave GSW, chose wrong team and players, thought he just needs a "partner" to win with iso ball and so forth) but this all would not be an issue if Kyrie was reliable and the partner KD thought he would be.
Of course you can say KD wanted to be another Lebron with all the responsibilities attached and now gotta live with it, and considering he failed the team, he is the main perpetrator, but i think that´s simplifying it too much, especially since if KD had dropped Kyrie quickly, some would also argue he is disloyal and whatnot, something Lebron is often called as well, it´s a difficult issue.
But all that are general problems with the Nets that imo led to the sweep, but not KD getting exposed as a player himself.
Dude had to carry the team all year and is the main reason why they got to the playoffs in the first place, so for me exhaustion in his case at least is not an excuse.

Because he simplifies it way too much, and literally claims that the main guy is the driver and everyone else is a passenger, and not only in regards to off-court stuff, but literally on the court, and not only in regards to winning individual games, but championships.
Basketball is a team sport, some players are more important than others, but not absolutely important that you can say they control the direction everything is going towards.
GSW is great because they don´t rely on "bus drivers", nor can you win championships with individual bus drivers, to take up his metaphor.
Barkley, as always with the inside crew, makes a point that stems from his ego because many people hold their championships over his head, so he is trying to make a point that championships are only relevant if you are the main guy, which is nonsense.
What KD has to fault himself with are his insecurities and his desire to be the next Lebron (or even overcome him) and be regarded as the main guy that brought Nets the championship (like Lebron did in Cleveland), while in GSW he did not get the accolades he thought he deserved (despite getting two FMVPs).
So if anything, KD´s fault is the same as Chuck´s in this analogy, thinking that a player deciding the direction of everything would definitely lead to success.

You are also oversimplifying like Barkley. There are players who control the direction everything is going towards. Steph is himself a system. Take him out of GSW and you will see how they perform.
This is not true always. As I said, there are players who can decide the direction of everything and lead the team to success. Lebron did it. KD lacks something very basic to be such a player. He is a shitty playmaker and average passer. He cant run an entire offense by himself as Lebron or Steph can.
