The Nets came out lifeless, they were disconnected in debut - Skip & Shannon | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Kevin Durant also had 32 points but Brooklyn was out-rebounded by 10 overall and 8 on the offensive side. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe share their thoughts on the matchup.

Bayless crafts his takes where KD is concerned - fairly comparable circumstances - a quantum leap different than he does when LeBron happens to be the principle character in the narrative. I almost gave Bayless credit because, for once, it seemed he would demur from somehow dragging LeBron irrelevantly into one of his pontifications...then, came to pass I was proven prudent to withhold bestowing such a plaudit, for once, on Bayless. [What was I thinking?!] I'll absolutely know better, next time, and any time, ever, going forward.

Giannis is the best player in the NBA. I think KD gets way too much credit, even in defeat. All this talk about him being the best player in the NBA & most analyst refer to him leading Team USA to gold as their reason why he's the best. I mean Team USA is favored to win every Olympics, no doubt he's the biggest reason they won, but most of the international teams aren't even that good, majority of the time it's like JV versus Varsity (USA). Also, in that Gold medal game, he got shut down in the 4th quarter, missed all his shots & only scored two freethrows, it came down to defense from USA (mainly Jrue Holiday). KD is obviously great, & greatest scorer ever imo, but he doesn't make his teammates better, he doesn't create for others, & his defense is good but nothing special. Not saying he's selfish or anything, but his playstyle is really geared towards him only, not really team basketball. He's always been surrounded by HOF caliber players throughout his whole career. Who knows if he'd have a ring if he hadn't joined the Warriors.

All you have to do is read up on the mandate for both New York and San Francisco (that covers Golden State, NY Knicks and The NETS). Its literally been out since Sept 2nd (maybe even sooner). It states that away team players don't have to be vaccinated since they are visiting but they need to be away from other players and get tested each day they are in the arena. Bradley Beal is on the visiting team and there is no mandate in Washington so he doesn't face the same issues Kyrie does. Only Kyrie and Wiggins were unvaccinated and played in those two cities.

KYRIE is Very Needed But these two Haters ain’t gone give him his credit

[@stanleycollins4110]

It's funny to me how skip makes every excuse for Kevin Durant but when it comes to LeBron it's nothing but pure hate come on guys I know you see this

[@cactusjack2264]

It’s crazy how the Bucks are obviously the best team in the league, yet people still wanna underestimate them. I mean they’re a COMPLETE team, they have everything you need in a championship team they have a superstar(Giannis) wingman like Jordan had Pippen Giannis has Middleton, they have shooters, their only issue imo is that they don’t have enough bigs coming off the bench and I’m a Heat fan saying this. They’re a very dangerous team.

[@Alran109]

I kind of expected this might happen after game 6 of the Finals. Giannis just has so much confidence now. His poor free throw shooting was all mental from that Toronto series. I think he might have finally gotten over that and if he has he might be a 70% or better free throw shooter. His mid range game is improving too.

[@joshhelton2007]

Kyrie haters: The Nets don’t need Kyrie to win the championship! Also Kyrie haters: It’s still Kyrie’s fault the Nets lost to Milwaukee cause reasons

Similar to what I said about the Lakers, the Nets main problem is their defense, with or without Kyrie. Milwaukee was able to do whatever they wanted on offense, and they actually played defense. If the Nets play bad defense like this against the decent to good teams, they won't even make it to the NBA Finals. Milwaukee will beat them again in the playoffs.

[@panagiotisatmatzidis9972]

That's the funny thing: Mills is not as fancy as Kyrie, but that's what you'll get from Kyrie 20+ points with much worse stats and more fanfare. On the defensive end Kyrie is _yet another liability_ ... Not to mention that Kyrie in the locker room is a ticking bomb. So all-in-all, I'm not sure if Kyrie makes them so much better.

[@donmike2810]

@@panagiotisatmatzidis9972 Youre a casual. Kyrie hasn't been a liability on defense since leaving clev. What part of his defense is a liability?

Everyone saying "Giannis is better than KD" failing to mention that KD avg more points than Giannis the series because his 2nd and 3rd best players were hurt. They also fail to mention that Kris Middleton avg 10+ points in 4th quarter to close out the finals because Giannis was a liability in the 4th

[@procopiomacaspac3087]

Lets be honest here, without the nets big 3 playing together and healthy, there is no way that thetly can beat the bucks.

[@yoshipapi7880]

lmao giannis looks good but relax, he won a chip because he injured kyrie

[@dj3gs]

oh the Nets last night were all over the place Claxton was making rookie mistakes, Nash didn't make any changes, Harden turnover the ball. Patty is the only one who balled out from start to finish

[@holzman00]

Are people really coming at the Nets for losing to the NBA CHAMPION Bucks? They’ve got the damn league MVP playing for them, of course they’re a good team. The Eastern conference is not the cakewalk it used to be. I still have the Nets as the title favorites, but it’s going to take some time. They’re probably so out of whack due to the Kyrie situation.

[@blackboyblues6727]

Facts . Giannis is playing with House Money now 🔥🔥🔥

[@efrenrivera9716]

Come on Nets ! Harden needs a championship

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Kyrie is the only one (save Giannis) with any guts.

[@pantelisliakos2481]

The more the media discuss mainly about Giannis, the more all the other crucial aspects go under the radar: 1) Coach Bud, 2)Chris, 3) Getting better on the off-season, 4) Team chemistry off the charts,5) Help from almost every role player that adds something different on the offensive...and 6) Excruciating DEFENCE FROM EVERYONE!!!

[@prxncejd3094]

Kyrie dont got nothing to do wit they problems steve nash a terrible coach they rotations and offense is so outta wack

[@prxncejd3094]

And they aint got no bigs or defense that claxton dude gotta go asap

[@TheMissiIe]

Giannis right now reminds me of Jordan in 1992, Jordan was struggling to to win the championship and when he finally won in 1991 he had his best season in 1992. Giannis has improved his shooting a lot, he's on a trajectory of being top 5 all time

[@MichaelNNguyen]

what about them Nets skip???

[@Supafreshh]

Y’all really are casuals .. Gianni’s did look great but he is like this every regular season. How ya think he already has two mvp’s? The playoffs is a different animal, nets looked the same as last year, like they just ready to play for the chip already. Can’t wait to see this matchup again in the playoffs

[@newrainmusic]

The nets don’t have a championship roster at all!!! They’re lucky they have patty mills at least but they don’t have good defenders or scorers

That Bucks Big3 is a monster. The only way I see Nets matching them is if they get Ben Simmons. KD couldnt do anymore in that game. He was phenomenal.

it seems like wherever Kyrie goes he's the top clown! If attention ain't paid to him he clowns and that hurts every team he's on. He's just like shrewder you have to hit him in the pocketbook
