Kawhi down 0-2 is one of the best players ever

Giannis is destroying the Nets.

Senator Clay Davis · 06-15-2021, 07:35 PM

Destroying is a bit extreme, he's not even the high point man in the game right now. But the Bucks had to win this game with the Nets injury situation so good start, although plenty of time for the trademark Bucks choke.

You seem to have called it.

Skip and Shannon were talking today about how KD is gonna have to do things that he’s never been asked to do, as a solo act instead of a guy flanked by stars.

23 points not done the 3rd, 14 rebounds and 8 assists. He averages 7.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists for his career.

Man has come to play.

Oh, and can the people in the building see the shot clock on the floor or is that just for TV?

2 point lead for the Bucks now.

Again, if they can't beat the Nets with all the injuries, they are for sure pretenders. No excuses now.

Cali Panthers Fan · 06-15-2021, 08:34 PM

LMAO...oh god, whenever you see an undulation around the eye on replay from a foul, that's not good news. Harden was not flopping on that one.

Hockey_Ninja · 06-15-2021, 08:39 PM

KD is truly incredible. As good of a 3 level scorer that there’s ever been

activeStick · 06-15-2021, 08:56 PM

Gonna be a crazy finish here

activeStick · 06-15-2021, 08:58 PM

Giannia with butter fingers there. Could've tied it.

Senator Clay Davis · 06-15-2021, 09:07 PM

I mean Durant is pretty much the best pure scorer ever. And yeah it's because of his height, but yeah when you can get your shot off anywhere and you have almost perfect form you are going to be ####ing incredible. And he is.

Hockey_Ninja · 06-15-2021, 09:08 PM

The Bucks don’t deserve to win this series after that

Senator Clay Davis · 06-15-2021, 09:37 PM

The Bucks are kinda like the Raptors before Kawhi, great regular season team who doesn't know how to get it done in the playoffs.

octothorp · 06-15-2021, 10:13 PM

Full credit to Durant for the epic game, but damn, the reputation on Bud being a weak playoff coach who can't make adjustments just continues. No timeouts during the big Nets run. No defensive adjustments to get the ball out of Durants hands (even if that means making the other Nets beat you 4-on-3). No gameplan to attack Harden. Players rushing plays when they had the lead and needed to just run good half-court possessions.

greyshep · 06-15-2021, 11:19 PM

Amazing game by KD tonight. Played the entire game and basically put his team on his shoulders for the win. Impressive performance and fun to watch.

Mathgod · 06-15-2021, 11:42 PM

Genuinely shocked. Good job KD & the Nets.

Bud has to be kinda happy Durant had such a legendary game because it's taken some of the focus of what a botch job he did there. I almost wonder if you're the Bucks GM if you don't go for the desperate, extreme move and remove Bud as coach now and let the assistants try and win the series. This series is still there to be won, but it's hard to believe Bud is going to help them get to the finish line. Either way this is his last season as Bucks coach, Bucks don't have much flexibility to improve their roster so changing coaches is the only play.

Also looks like it'll be Jazz-Suns in the West. Not even Kawhi can avoid the Clippers curse

That’s a bummer... I really wanted the Jazz to beat them at full health.

Now it looks like the Jazz and Suns cakewalked to the Conference Finals because of injuries from the opposing teams (moreso the Suns with AD and Murray).

I mean yeah lol, but so what? Injuries are part of the game, the Bucks should be on their way to the Conference Finals by taking advantage of an injury depleted squad, but how's that working out for them?

Of course, you’ve got to overcome adversity. I’m just saying that I like to beat teams that are at 100%. If not, then you play your best roster against their best roster.
