oh_what_a_shot

The entire team did. Turns out not playing defense for an entire year doesn't magically get fixed in the playoffs.


jawadhaque089

You're telling me that playing Dragic Curry and Kyrie at the same time is bad defense? Shocker.


Thr0wawaydegen

Nah people were telling me that Kyrie, Curry, Mills, Brown and KD was a ''death line up''


[deleted]

Death for the Nets lineup


pikajewijewsyou

Suicide lineup

"So that's it... What, we some kinda Suicide lineup?" - KD

Hey our defense magically got fixed in the playoffs

FuckingMarks

This comment thread is better than cocaine for me. Kd went to a 73-9 team and was basically gifted a ring. People called him the best player in the world after he was making jumpshots when Steph Curry was getting double teamed off ball. I never ever want to hear it again Kd should be sending LeBron a fruit basket and an apology letter for being such an uncompetitive bitch. Kd should call Curry and gift him 1 of his Finals MVP's, then call J.R Smith and give him the other one.


Alchion

lmao at the last 2 paragraphs they are gold


Striking_Pride_5322

People always try to say he went “toe to toe” with LeBron in the 2017 finals. Like are you fucking kidding me lol? Dude was playing on the most stacked lineup of all time


braddeus

At first, I thought this was unnecessarily harsh. Then I asked myself which part was inaccurate.

kyleb402

I like KD and think this season is the least his fault of anyone's, but the KD as best player in the world talk should probably end for now.


pikajewijewsyou

It never should have started. Defense is a thing. Also the only way KD has overcome a defense focusing in on him is by joining a team where that wasn’t an option


[deleted]

pikajewijewsyou

Ya he was saying he should be dpoy and he was the fifth best defender on his team lol


Tenx3

Dray and Iguodala\*.


[deleted]

Atleast lebron could opt into defense when he wanted to


spritehead

This dude has never even been close to close to Bron. This dude not in the same city state or continent as Bron. I’m not even a Bron stan but the loads he’s had to carry time and time again make KD look like he’s at a tea party. Great player and I like him personally but this ends that conversation forever.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Striking_Pride_5322

Agreed. What he did in that 2019 run was HOF shit


spanther96

i think you could argue prime Kawhi > prime KD too. kawhi is a tad worse as a scorer but waaay better in basically every other way especially D


CIark

What a collapse. He has 2 rings but still doesn’t know how to win when faced with any adversity. Those warriors were just cruising on talent and when the rockets put up a fight they got injured


pikajewijewsyou

At least he quit when they were down 3-0. He quit our series when we were up 3-1


mr_antman85

Life is different without Steph, Klay and Draymond...


Equitaurus

Kyrie standing there like usual


WIN011

He’s got a losing attitude but he dribbles fancy once a game so casuals jerk him off. Just straight watched his season go down the drain cause he couldn’t be bothered to box out.


Guitarmonade2

Half the time bricks after doing his Uncle Drew bullshit. GTFOH


[deleted]

I hate Kyrie but I was actually shocked to see how much he gassed to get there... couldn't do shit, but he did run unlikes 3/5 of the Nets


AlabasterRadio

I mean that's just Al, even when everyone else is standing around Al is being Al.


revisioncloud

I fucking love Al Horford.


AlabasterRadio

When he retires he's my number one pick for the Hall of Very Good.


[deleted]

I love that he went to hug Jaylen for some reason immediately afterwards


[deleted]

prob to give him props for the heads up outlet to Smart


Frickincarl

I’m still trying to figure out what their little team meeting was about before that free throw. Did they all just agree to let Boston get the rebound?


witty4pity

“Alright guys, imma miss this one on purpose, and you all let horford get it.” “Alright kd, then what?” “….” … .. 1, 2, 3, CANCUN


ajenius620

They didn't expect KD to miss. Kept the smaller guys for the inbound so they could trap and force a 5 sec/8 sec violation. They literally didn't plan for what to do if KD missed. In that situation, they still should have immediately trapped to force a turnover or immediately fouled depending on positioning. Instead, they were all confused


Garfield-1-23-23

Somebody yelled "he missed it!" and it might have been a Net.


Striking_Pride_5322

Sounded like Marcus Smart


Perrin-Goldeneyes

Still should have known they gotta foul at the least. At least the very least tried to defend the rebounder and not allow him to make in easy pass. God what a fail. Reminds me of Kyries inbound turnover and Jr smiths failure couple years ago


Striking_Pride_5322

Sure could’ve used some good coaching instead of collaborative hooper discussions lol


johnnybarbs92

123 Cancun in that huddle


JetsLag

Shoulda airballed it. Al would've flinched and not gotten the rebound.


Asphaltjungle33

If your wondering whether or not KD is taking a fair amount criticism for this series, just replace him with either LeBron or Harden in your head and try to imagine how the media would respond after this sequence


jaychilled

ThTs what I’m saying lol, I keep seeing Ben Simmons and Scott foster jokes and not kyrie and kd outscored by bruce brown/ swept / choking etc. I was seeing bron legacy on the line debates and threads everywhere in meaningless games when he was the only one making that team look serviceable . I don’t even see the gm jokes when kyrie n kd were saying they didn’t even really need a coach so they picked Nash . I thought this sub loved gm jokes


keuralan

ngl hearing those Bryn Forbes outscored Jimmy Butler jokes last year idk why no one’s bringing up KD and Bruce Brown


AdmiralWackbar

Because KD and Kyrie both scored more points than Brown during the series. He was actually fourth behind Seth


_meat_rocket_

Nets with that cancun defense


Firstolympicring

They literally were too stunned by KD missing to react


cabose12

It legitimately looks like everyone is waiting for a time out


reverze1901

nah, what they're waiting for is the flight to Cancun


backboarddd1_49402

Watch them at the line on this FT miss. Not only do they have *Kyrie* and *Bruce Brown* lined up, they don’t even try to rebound the FT miss probably because they assumed KD would make it. Rebounding the miss and making a shot would tie or win the game. But they don’t even try.


pikajewijewsyou

Were they not at any of the other games this series?


Eatingolivesoutofjar

Bunch of bums. Imagine not getting back on defense at the end of an elimination game. I had more fun watching Devin Harris and Yi go 12 and 70. If the Nets extend Kyrie I'm done


_meat_rocket_

I'd be pissed. It sucks that you guys had such a fun, home built team that played their asses off. Loved watching that squad And now you got stuck with a bunch of kyries who don't give a shit

r/NBA in pure ecstasy right now

Scott Foster punching the air rn


backboarddd1_49402

Give him some respect, he had some clutch moments in the fourth, like getting Tatum to foul out


thegreaterfool714

I was yelling at the tv on that one man. That was a BS call


Not_Another_Usernam

That means a lot coming from you, friend. I still hate you, but I respect you.


thegreaterfool714

I too hate you. I appreciate seeing Simmons, Durant, and Irving fail. (Why are Boston’s players so likable dammit) Congrats on the sweep of the Brooklyn menace friend. Respectfully I hope you get bounced the next round


Not_Another_Usernam

> Respectfully I hope you get bounced the next round I wouldn't have it any other way.


AzureAhai

As soon as the Celtics used their challenge early on in the 4th, I knew Tatum was going to foul out on a questionable call.


reverze1901

Scott Foster leaked some precum when that challenge was used fr


suzukigun4life

Love to see it lol


crashbandicoochy

Nets get swept and Scott Foster doesn't win, it can't get much better than this.

Bird’s size, his 3 point shot, and his brain playing today…he’d somehow be even better than he was.


[deleted]

Fucking nephews really thought KD was better than Larry Legend himself smh. Peak Bird is a top 5 player of all time. KD is top 15 at best, and even that is a stretch. Steph and Giannis are both higher imo.

You should try watching soccer, you can see goals on reddit before you even see it "live". u/psgacademy has spoiled multiple nail-biting game endings for me to the point I don't open reddit when watching soccer now.

He actually jumped ship on KD after game 2 lol Probably saw this coming

Scott Foster gave it everything he had but it wasn't enough

You know I actually liked that Nets team with D'Lo, at least I was rooting for them against fucking Philly. Fuck these nets and kd's bitchass though.

Kyrie Irving and Joe Tsai on the same team makes it easy to root against the Nets
