Yes KD and Kyrie scored 57 between them but they got other guys involved.

KD it’s so crazy to watch. Normally when someone scores it will even though the enemy knows it’s coming there a 7 foot big who are simply much bigger and stronger than everyone else.. but Kd does it with Grace by shooting over everyone. And Kyrie does it by juking everyone over and over after they know it’s coming at 6 foot two.,,. I still don’t know if they can win, I think they played kd way too many minutes.

[@willgarmin742]

I love this crew minus Nick. He doesn't look at anything objectively. He picked the Lakers to win the championship. They finished 11th in the West. He will pick certain players/teams and against certain players/teams based upon nothing but his feelings. If Nick did anything besides confirm his biases he'd see the stat that the Nets have the best winning percentage in the east when Durant plays. Forget Kyrie, Harden, Harris, Simmons, Curry, etc. When Durant has been on the floor for the Nets no one in the east has a better winning percentage. In the past month, they whooped the Sixers, whooped the Heat, and were a Giannas game tieing three away from beating the Bucks. But all of that doesn't matter simply because Nick doesn't like Kyrie and Durant. He should just say that and stop acting like he has facts to back up his picks.

[@rlee7389]

Nicks the best part of the show

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

For me NICK supports answers better the others, also the favorite has to be the bucks, heck they won it last year! And back with their top 3, unstoppable Giannis, Middleton & holiday are a defensive nightmare & all can score, and all the others know their roll, yaw just dont like him b/c he uses your own logic vs yourself & supports the most hated player vs MJ, the only 15yr (lowest for all goat contenders & a 2x quiter on his team & fans, who didn't make the playoffs his last 2yrs, and had lots of rest between championships, who most probably wudnt have won 1chip w/o Phill & Pip... oh that's right, he quit when the left as HE said HE wud!🤔🤔. This is what Nick does, instead of goin with made up narratives, based on opinionated emotions.

[@tonysobon4669]

Jrue Holiday can wear down kyrie . If The Bucks have to play The Nets it is true that with KD a team has a shot any game but Giannis has proven to be able to impact a game as much or more in different ways. If Giannis needs to have 40 point and all the other stuff to beat The Nets that means The Bucks roster is not playing as good as they can. I am a Bucks fan but that is my logic that if The Bucks overall roster plays close to there average they will beat Kyrie and KD , plus they need to worry about playing The Bulls first.

[@mrbang4555]

Celtics dellusion is hillarious. Lol. All of a sudden no one can stop Tatum and brown? Winners of nothing ever in thier lives. Suddenly they are better than 4× scoring champ, mvp, 2x nba champ , 2x finals mvp, 100 time all star Kevin Durant Kyrie resume not too shabby either. Both guys have had 50/40/90 SEASONS. First time in history two guys in that group played together and in thier primes. Also Andre Drummond is a 4 time rebounding champion and is still 28. Claxton is playing for his nba contract(100 million motivations) Steph curry brother is on the team now. So is Goran Dragic(led heat to finals 2 years ago) Brooklyn is THE BEST SHOOTING TEAM IN THE NBA. elite threee point shooters the best mid range team in the NBA check the stats and we score in the paint too.

[@bonehead4750]

You underrate this Celtics team, they play great defense. Nets can’t win unless both Kyrie and KD go off for 4 games. Watch them attack Kyrie on defense as well to wear him out. Celtics in 6

[@amrithbharadwaj4945]

Yes, the Boston Celtics switch everything on defence because they have elite versatile defenders that can guard multiple positions and yes, that makes it a 1v1 game for KD and Kyrie which they can live with, but it also makes it a 1v1 game for the shooters and other role players. They won't get too many open looks, they can't create their own shots, they're not getting any rhythm especially on the road and Boston has home court. Both KD and Kyrie will have to have good/great games every game for them to have a good chance of winning and that's not likely.

[@mrmillennium2697]

Good take man! 👍

[@m1llz123]

😂😂 bro it’s only 5 players on the court for each team so for any team to win players have to play good. If kd n Kyrie have a bad game that doesn’t mean the Celtic players are goin to automatically have a great game n that same game it’s all about who can make the buckets in the 4th qrt every game
