Any chance Irving returns for game 7 or Harden's injury situation improves? If not, this could be the end of the road for the Nets.
He was already diagnosed with a ankle sprain days ago and they are expecting not to have kyrie for this series. He stayed in Brooklyn for treatment.
Harden looked way better this game. By Saturday he is probably going to be super aggressive and that’s not good for the bucks
I thought he looked the same. The only difference was that his step-back 3 was falling. He still didn't have any burst tonight.
Harden was driving jumping and moving significantly better today. Boy the bucks are the trouble Saturday and game 7 has opened as Nets +1. Uh ohhhh. Can’t wait for Saturday
just wondering where's all the you gotta go deep in your rotation in the playoffs folks that usually can't help themselves. Bud has literally gone to a 6 man rotation
Everyone commenting on Harden looking better are misreading the situation. Last game (5) he wasn't sure what he could without feeling any tightness or discomfort. This game (6) he knew what he could away with more he made few more moves with floaters and was more confident in the step back. But he is not going to be immensely better. This is the same thing that happened with Lebron in the last round. He slowly knew what I could do and get away with more and more, but he never really improved because you are not going to improve this by playing 40+ minutes every 48 hours.
Probably don't want to use Bud as an example of how to coach in the postseason. But yeah, most teams shorten their rotation in the postseason. 6 is extreme, but that's just because Divenczo or however you spell it is injured and for some reason Portis isn't getting any minutes. I didnt realize the Bucks backup guards were so bad.
ok. I'll just use the once beloved coach of the year nick nurse who's an nba champ who also shortened his rotation
yes if it's close in the 4th he has nothing to lose by going all out, unlike the last 2 games basically playing not to get hurt again
I mean there's a game 7 where he dropped 31 in the wcsf to go to the wcf but let me guess someway somehow that doesn't apply yet it answers the question
