    I suggest you wait a bit.

    They're too busy putting their Barclays center tickets on StubHub for the Boston puds on Friday and Sunday.

    if KD didn’t go to GS for some free rings, there would be no difference between the accolades and where they should be in the all-time rankings between him and Harden

    KD is the most overrated player of this era.

    This man didn’t get it done until he hopped along for the GSW ride.

    He’s great but never has been the best player in the league. More on that secondary tier with dudes like harden, prime Paul, prime dwade etc

    Durant has the talent, but he doesn't impose himself on the teams he is on, his teammates don't follow him. In other words, he's not a leader. That's what has kept him on that secondary tier.

    The reason it worked out for him in Golden State is that he went to an established team that had several leaders on and off the court. In that environment, he could do what he does best: be the perfect basketball weapon.

    KD’s 1st 2 games

    13/41 from the field, 12 turnovers, 8 assists

    2/10 in the 4th quarter

    let that be James Harden in Houston…everybody would be clowning him and saying he choked

    KD is a walking turnover when trying to create under heavy pressure

    Good thing the Nets traded Harden for Curry and Drummond; the motion offense they have now is unbelievable.

    Nets fans now missing Harden

    [​IMG]

    “For all his faults, its too bad the duo ran Harden out of Brooklyn.

    The talent is there but these two don't want to play team ball. As bad as harden played at least he passed consistently and definitely would have edged the Celtics.”

    “I was against the Harden trade when it happened and now we are paying the price. KD cannot run an offense. He makes bad passes and he dribble way to high allowing BOS to poke the ball out for easy steals. “

    “This is a disaster. I think that we need to stop deluding ourselves. Harden left to go play with a guy who is all in on winning. Embiid is an MVP level player. KD isn't even in the discussion.”

    Kyrie making up for lost time when he was standing up for the common man. There's only so many games left this season for him that he has to go out there and empty the proverbial clip, **** everyone else on the team lol

    Nets this season
    With Harden: 26-18 (.59)
    Without Harden: 19-22 (.46)

    Nets after trading Harden: 15-13 (.54)
    76ers after trading for Harden: 20-8 (.71)
    KD & Kyrie are 21-20 (.51) without Harden in the last two seasons and are currently down 0-2 vs the Celtics

    Nets fans are so dumb. Harden didn't even play badly.

    In the 9 games before Harden became inactive / "did not dress", he averaged 22.4 / 11.1 / 7.6. And that's factoring in his last game with the Nets, in which he only scored 4 points.

    "Free flowing offense without Harden," my ass.

    Celtics coach deserves COTY. Never would I thought that team could defend like that.

    Nash is getting fired after this. Offense is 1v5 and bad team defense.
