I haven’t watched every game but Jrue hasn’t seemed that bad? It’s just nothing goes in I guess

he's taken some shots from all different places on the floor that haven't been close

Make no mistake about it, the closer for the Milwaukee Bucks is Khris Middleton…he scored 23 points and 10 rebounds!

Lopez had such a weird game

Ahhhh I still can’t believe this good night ilx

I remember when the blazers beat the nuggets in rd 2 a couple years ago and I was like “wow we won the championship basically”

I haven’t watched every game but Jrue hasn’t seemed that bad? It’s just nothing goes in I guess

happy for u frogbs

Incredible game. Stil can’t believe Brook didn’t know there was only 2s on the shot clock. If they woulda lost…

Wild they won that with jrue and Middleton shooting like 5% for most of the game.

Not sure who’s shooting problems were worse that series: j Harris vs jrue

harris just totally disappeared

I was rooting for Brooklyn because of the Jackie Robinson and Dr. J connections, but I guess it's good in general when such a blatant checkbook team doesn't win.

I don't follow basketball closely enough to know if a) Harden selflessly did everything he could coming back from an injury, or b) Harden cost them the game--he was pretty bad shooting 3s last night.

both

Harden was pretty bad, a lot of his shots looked way short as soon as they went up and even the big 3 he made in the 4th was a side bank shot which uh I don't think he was intending to do

still hyped up rn, figured we'd either be looking at a Nets blowout or one of those games where the Bucks get up 15-20 in the 1st and then slowly let them get back into it. instead it was an insane back and forth game with like 20 lead changes and tons of ridiculous shit like Giannis coming within 0.0001s of the buzzer beater or Durant's size 26 shoes costing them the game. KD obviously the best player in this series but man Giannis really came through, feels like this is his first legacy defining playoff game

I really liked how Giannis suddenly learned how to make free throws midway through the game

Other than the 2 he airballed lol

it was a rollercoaster

Yah giannis went toe to toe w Durant imo. Middleton figured it out at some point in that game. Jrue played horrible but hit two of the biggest shots in the game.

The nets are gonna be scary good next year if they can stay healthy. Year two of the out if no where super team is usually the best version.

people were making a lot of comparisons to Bledsoe last night but what they're forgetting is how useless Bled was on defense. he literally just stood around half the defensive possessions, it was bizarre. Holiday at least managed to disrupt a lot. as far as his shooting goes idk what to say, he's just running super cold. I didn't think he was taking particularly bad shots, in fact they ran some pretty great plays to get him open, he was just rimming out a ton

he was also not even close on others but it wasn't like Bledsoe where he was just chucking the instant the Bucks got down 2 possessions

harden’s obviously a great player, but not so great that there shouldn’t have been better options than having him play 50+ minutes on one hammy and shooting like that. where was the nets’ terance mann, or even pat connaughton?

otoh brooklyn’s offense seemed to largely rely on clearing out and letting either durant or harden beat someone, and even a wounded harden can at least create his own shot by stepping back or jumping into someone. just seems like there should have been a more imaginative plan than telling your 1.5 healthy stars to go win it by themselves

harden’s obviously a great player, but not so great that there shouldn’t have been better options than having him play 50+ minutes on one hammy and shooting like that. where was the nets’ terance mann, or even pat connaughton?

They traded them for Harden.

The nets are gonna be scary good next year if they can stay healthy. Year two of the out if no where super team is usually the best version.

Still boggles my mind that the Nets found a way to lose Game 3

I still think the nets need to make some moves. When they were healthy this season they were an awful defensive team.

I also think they don’t have the best coach tbh

What moves can they make? Trade Harris I guess? Sign n trade dinwiddie?

thats probably it. trade on claxton's potential would be another move, altho he's p darn good. he shoulda got more playing time.

they ca use their mle to get a good vet, too. just sign pj tucker lol

Or Blake hah

Yeah are they keeping Blake? I could see him looking at the lakers or even Miami.

nice high energy game in phx so far

one of the greatest basketball minds since magic johnson

interesting use of quotation marks

love what ayton did in the first half

suns shooting lights out

demarcus cousins could be so good if he didn't commit so many fouls

both teams playing with such good ball movement love it

that iso ball series was brutal if compelling

both teams playing with such good ball movement love it
