and if KD stops getting his 30 where would the Nets be.
the Nets nneed every bit of them 30 because if it was just Kyrie only, they'd be a bottom team with the way they built offensively and defensively
You’ve got to replace him with another 44m player not named RW, you can’t just assume that he disappears

The coaching isn't the cause of KD not being an elite playmaker, it's not the cause of him losing a step, and it's not the cause of the flawed roster and lack of player-leadership. Or are you going to start telling me him shytting the bed in the playoffs last season was because of coaching?

:usure:
Absolutely bad coaching. Why make KD your primary playmaker? Why have a lineup with Kyrie, Seth and Patty Mills alongside KD and some random big for extended periods of time? I remember there were moments when KD was the biggest player on the court for the Nets. They would run with a lineup of Kyrie, Seth, Patty, Bruce Brown and KD.

the closest to a golden ticket player in the league right now is giannis

even bron who was the best definition of a golden ticket player is not elevating a squad the same way anymore it seems

mob.style teams will always get it done & golden.ticket one man team type players will always be beyond rare

Bro, it would almost be like adding Barkley to the Bulls or Jordan to Detroit.

Of course. Adding the best player to the best team, will make the team better. That’s not an Einstein equation
nikkas DO NOT gave a rats ass bout that 73-9 season or steph winning a unaminous MVP title :mjlol:
I read your post like you giving him special credit in signing with the Warriors :hubie:

KD cannot lead which is what @Brandsdale said and you respond with some bu bu bu bu he made them the greatest team of all time shyt

:mjlol:

Nah we not doin that


So is KD an ISO player that didn’t improve teams or did he make the Warriors better? Both can’t be true (Unless you’ve decided fukk logic and decided to just hate)

Also this goes against the Warriors weren’t great because they didn’t win the title during the 73 win season narrative too.

For this Nets team to do anything, both Kyrie and KD need to be shooting at least 25+ shots a game, Kyrie seems fine shooting more but KD has never been a super high volume scorer so idk if can put up those type of attempts like that.
They will never been good on defense but the rest of their team is near zero on offense. Ben Simmons is one of the worst starters in the league rn he sucks so bad

Also they should try to sign Carmelo. He could at least be someone else on the team who's skilled and not afraid to take a shot

it: kd scored 30, but didn't really impact the game :manny:

lebron haters: but what about lebron?? :damn:


:mjlol:

truth is kd hasn't looked energetic, but he's an undisputed scoring machine even at 3/4 speed. i dont think his mind is really in it at bk.

He lost his explosion after the ankle surgery. It’s not there anymore, he doesn’t jump as high anymore and his posture has gotten worse since 2019. You can see it when he’s dribbling the ball he hunches his back. And his handle is terrible now, he’s averaging 3 turnovers a game. Sometimes he just looses the rock, or like in the playoffs against Boston if you pressure him enough and body him up he will fumble every time. His game isn’t as sharp as it use to be and that bald spot is growing everyday. :francis:
He's averaged 3 turnovers his whole career. This is nothing new. This is what happens when his team is not built for him to only worry about scoring 30.

As a Nets fan. I kind of understand where Isaiah is coming. This league has more pure scorers right now than I can think of so Kevin needed to become a better facilitator and more consistent defender but also the Nets are badly coached one thing Joe Tsai should have done is fire Steve Nash.

de'aaron fox averaging 30 so far this year too.

30 don't mean sshyt anymore. :wow:

Fox is a bucket.

These points look differently when you are getting stops on the other end.

Bane's 30 from the last 2 games look different because they played defense to close the game.

LMAO

THIS IS A HILARIOUS TAKE.

KYRIE HAD 39 AND KD HAD 37
LAST NIGHT.

GAME BEFORE THAT
KD 33, KYRIE 27....

GAME BEFORE THAT KD 37, KYRIE 37...

ALL LOSES

ITS CLEARLY A DEFENSE
AND ROSTER ISSUE.

NETS ARE A BOTTOM 5 3P% TEAM
RIGHT NOW.

THEY NEED A GUY LIKE JOE HARRIS
TO FIND HIS FORM
AND THEY NEED BEN SIMMONS
TO FIND HIS BALLS.
:devil:
:evil:

What you think the lakers need?
