    He did he was supposed to. A lot of Nets action involves 2 players that you can't leave alone under any circumstances. Harden able to dribble the ball up to give Durant a break at times was huge.

    They can, but it would take 2 games with like 18-20 3 pointers each. They are definitely capable of that, but I think they probably do that only in Game 6 though.

    Greek Freak had a very good game with 34 points on 22 shots and 12 rebounds, but the Bucks are just so stupid lol.
    I don't blame Giannis because he is not and should not be the person orchestrating the offense. But the Bucks attacking KD in iso or not attacking Harden in pnr or Giannis shooting a turnaround when guarded by Harden is just stupid lol. Lopez was getting killed for half the game by Durant until they adjusted.

    But the story of this game is KD. Dude just put on his cape and showed who the best player in the NBA is. What a performance!

    This will go 7. Back home, PJ will get less calls plus KD won't have the legs as he played 48 mins today.

    The good thing is Harden gets more rest and will be much more effective next game.

    He has consistently been one of our best playoff performers. The numbers do not agree with you.

    Nets are playing beautiful hard fought basketball on their way to a championship. Warriors threw a hissy fit and decided to stack the deck after choking a 3 1 lead

    Harden going to Nets is like Lebron going to Heat to form a super team. Also, Heat won before Lebron. Nets without Harden have never won anything.

    What Durant did was criminal. He joined a championship team that had beaten him. If you pull that move on a playground, you get laughed at.

    Also, when Durant left, he left OKC and everyone behind. As for Harden, he wasn't the only one to leave Houston. The coach and GM left before he did. And they all left to get away from one poisonous man.

    The only problem I have with Harden is the way he left. He didnt handle it in a class manner. But given how much he gave the Rockets, I can forgive him for that. He could have done a Melo and stayed in Houston like Melo did in NY, jacked up shots, collected the stats and money. But he left to win because everyone knows its not happening under Tilman.

    Nets had a 2x FMVP and would've been 3 time champion had he not been injured along with another champ. Nice try? I just don't see why either decision needs forgiveness. They did what was best for their careers. Only difference is one chose as a free agent and one was traded.

    Did Milwaukee drive the basket in the 2nd half at all? I feel that is how they got their lead they went away from it.

    Should the Nets rest Harden for game 6?

    Harden played 46 minutes on a torn hamstring, what a warrior.

    they don’t win without him. @HP3

    Interesting that you still talk to me like this is a new conversation, lol. Arguing about Battier/Hayes/Tucker has always been like trying to prove that antimatter exists.

    Sure they can win the series but this is embarrassing for them.

    They are only in the series because 66% of the team is non functional due to injury.
