[paksat]

the most unlikeable team in history

[SouBeachTalents]

This was always gonna be their downfall, KD & esp Kyrie are mad brittle. The fact the usually sturdy Harden's out is by far the most surprising development

[coastalmarker99]

Feel like I should leave this here

I got no problem if people take KD over Bron. But this past 5 years talk or since he won MVP, lol
2014 Playoff PER
Bron 31
KD 22.6 (with a teammate in Russ who posted a 24.9)

2015 Playoff PER
Bron 25 (1st year in Cleveland, no Love, Kyrie at 75%)
KD injured

2016 Playoff PER
Bron 30
KD 20.3!!!

2017 Playoff PER
Bron 30.1
KD 27.5

2018 Playoff PER
Bron 32.2
KD 25.1

Since they both missed the playoffs one year
2020 Bron 30.2
2019 KD 26.8

2021 Playoff PER
Bron 20
KD 28.8

Still have homecourt advantage

Nets in 7, they're not beating us at the Barclays, Kyrie or no Kyrie

Even pre injury the one series he played without Westbrook in OKC he got backdoor swept by the Grizzlies in 2013

KD can stroke it / but you have to admit Tucker was in his face a good portion of the game , and Durant's shot was blocked at least 4 times.
It was the best defense on Durant probably in his whole career.

Tucker literally fouled the shit out of Durant every time he touched the ball

He should have been out of the game with 6 fouls in the first half :facepalm

Did he go to the locker room with 5 minutes left?

thats pretty crazy

i cant even imagine a softer, weaker player than that.
like... someone who gets outscored/beaten 2-1 in the finals with daggers in his face in back-to-back years?

or something like that

[000]

Did he go to the locker room with 5 minutes left?
he did sit with like 4 minutes left

Yeah, swap the two players and tell me who wins those series :lol

As long as he didn't pull a LeLeader and abandon everyone

OP is a good example of the problem with player stans. They eat each other. Lebron stans whine about Lebron getting unfair expectations, but then put those same expectations on the new generation. Like a kid getting molested and then going on to molest others when they get older. Sad stuff.

A rational, intelligent person would realize all "stanning" is moronic and only leads to misery. It's honestly pathetic. Why even watch sports if you only care about one player out of ALL players currently playing and historically. It's like only eating one single meal all the time and claiming literally all other food is trash...just bizarre.

Still feeling pretty good

Harden will return for game 6 if nets lose

But I've got Durant in game 5

After that we should have harden for game 7 regardless and wrap it up if need be

[dankok8]

Not a Nets fan but I said before the playoffs started that their chances of winning a title are quite small and injuries were a big part of that. Their Big 3 played like 7 games together in the regular season... Heck I can easily see this trio not even winning a single ring together.

[KD7]

Still have homecourt advantage

Nets in 7, they're not beating us at the Barclays, Kyrie or no Kyrie

KD dropping 50 on these boys next game

https://i.postimg.cc/4y2VNW7c/KD-Laughing.gif

I sprained my ankle the same way and was out 3 weeks, maybe more.... Kyrie is much stronger than me, but he simply won't be back this series.. imo...

And if Harden is out too, then it's a wrap.

Sad... Very very sad... I was looking forward to KD's super-team rings further diluting Lebron's and bringing the evil of super-teams into focus.. so we'll have to settle for poor man's MJ getting #3 (kawhi)

Its still gonna happen next season

Hopefully the Nets wont all just get injured every season

[tpols]

Its crazy how these dudes all get hurt at once. Harden was an iron man his whole career and sat out the regular season... Hurt first game of the playoffs that matters. Kyrie has been sitting out for years and hurt first series that matters. And in his case he landed on a sliding Giannis foot to turn his ankle. Makes you wonder how other guys in the past never got hurt as often. That ankle injury looked unavoidable. How could you possibly avoid that? He simply jumped and scored a bucket and Giannis slid his foot under him. That bitch may have done that intentionally.

[3ball]

It's crazy because my motto with Kyrie is that he can't last more than 3 weeks of play... Then something happens and he's out for a few games .. every time

His coaches need to play him 2 weeks and then rest weak... 2 weeks and then rest a week... do this all year..

Today's game requires players to cover more ground defensively, while high school stars like Kyrie are working out more than ever before and wearing out sooner/easier - I believe that these 2 factors (defenders covering more ground + young players working out more than prior eras and wearing out sooner/easier) are the causes for all the injuries

I remember watching Harry Giles as a 15-year old doing a leg workout with weights like he was Arnold Schwarzenegger.. I wasn't even a little surprised when he started blowing out his knees some time later.

He was alright with Lebron except for 2015

Kyrie missed the all-star game in 2016 because he barely played 50 games that year

And 2015 was huge .. It would've been one of Lebron's easiest chips and changed his career.... and the future.. maybe KD doesn't go to Warriors if the Warriors lose in 2015

Furthermore, the 18' Celtics might've won it all with Kyrie.. his injuries have cost 2-3 titles (including this yr)

Not even a little bit.

As for the OP, I don't think they win a title unless all of the big 3 are healthy anyway.

The 18' Celtics did what the 15' Warriors did - they shocked everyone by being a juggernaut and the league's best team with Kyrie leading - people were like holy crap Kyrie is really good!!!

Then Kyrie got hurt and that ended it

You can pretend it didn't happen but it did... Kyrie is a boss, but fragile

They might have made the finals if Kyrie is playing but that's a 4-5 game series tops if they do.

The Celtics lost more games in the 60 games Kyrie played than the 2015 Warriors did all season. They also lost more games in the 60 games Kyrie played than the Rockets did all season. Why are you always wrong about everything :oldlol: And why don't you compare how the 2019 Celtics did with the 2016 Warriors if you wanna make that analogy

The first 40-50 games with Kyrie shocked everyone and the Celtics were juggernauts - the best team in the league - everyone was shocked how good Kyrie was

But again - injuries stopped him from those last 20 games so we never got to see what would've happened..

The playoffs brings teams together, and a team of rookies nearly beat the Cavs... Kyrie would've easily beaten them

Outside of fringe fanatics and trolls not a single soul believed the Celtics were better than the Warriors at any point that season. And you can't give Kyrie credit for winning the same East you dismiss as weak when LeBron wins it
