KD needs to go King Cobra and get Nash fired tonight after this game. He also needs to get All these dudes traded elsewhere and start over.

jaylen brown throwing

and yes, 3 foul kyrie should've been in every action. is every nba team dumb?

I've been raging over this just as a fan of the game. When KD/Kyrie hooked up, I thought running a deadly two-man PnR action was the plan all along.

How is it that the tactic is NEVEEEER on the menu?

Also nuts. maybe my question isn't a shitpost.

really, he didn't get doubled at OKC?

i'm asking cause next to WB, Serge, Adams, Roberson, Reggie Sefolosha....I assume KD had to get doubled

Not anything close to this cos you still had to account for Westbrook and Harden (when he was there). The issue this series is Kyrie not being aggressive the last 2 games while KD is getting swarmed.

Jaylen B not wanting to take kyrie 1v1 three times in a row is head scratching


but i remember guys here were saying how JB was actually better than tatum when tatum was struggling

These shitty passes/poor communication have given the Nets 10+ points now

We heard the same thing with Lebron and AD PnR being unguardable and they didn't seem to do it much.
Well, AD doesn't like the roll but he does choose the pop.

But at least the Lakers run action in which Bron and AD set screens for each other to force defenders into decisions. KD and Kyrie function as exclusive pieces that don't affect each other.

Maybe they need a coach.

everyone kept saying BYK had the best 2 players in the series.

we sure kyrie is better than tatum, + given tatum's defense


he's just the best most skilled player ever of course

Do they even set picks?
Kyrie can't run a good PnR(?)

30 and KD could, cause 30 had been doing PnRs a lot more
maybe Kyrie secretly can. But I literally haven't seen it in years iirc, so once I see it I'll believe it. He's been playing as a 2 for a while now.

I do not think anyone said Kyrie was better than Tatum except for people who only care about aesthetics?

Tatum is the 6th-10th best player in the league and Kyrie is fringe top 25.

Someone please check on Skip Bayless, I'm concerned about his salt levels.

I expected these two to sit down and talk about how they would function together is all. Can't run a PnR? I reject the idea, these guys are professionals, I could draw one up at least conceptually. They know how it works.

I think Nets would be better trading KD away. He's done if he can't play out of the other team doubling him.

jaylen brown has the most unnecessary dribbles

like bootleg AND1

as in run a play-off level championship level PnR that leads to effective point scoring (points per possession) against a high level defense that kinda already knows what you're doing but can't stop it.

like, Dlo can run a PnR.
but not like CP3.

I'll take a rec league level "come and get it" PnR that results in a turnover right now. Just give me an attempt ffs.

KD just seems like he's checked out. It's partly the Boston defense but KD takes forever to make a move when he has the ball.

kd thought kyrie would slip a screen?
does kyrie do that...??


that exemplifies when I said I don't know if Kyrie/KD can run a PnR together until i see it. Too many decisions and alterations
thanks KD and Kyrie for helping me out
