Man every game that goes by makes me and anyone with sense realize how GREAT the soften trade was, now he is busy ruining a great mans mvp bid, who woulda thunk it !??!?!?!? useless MFer ! for reals
shuges what chance you give this team with EVERYONE HEALTHY AND READY TO GO, BUT NO KYRIE FOR HOME GAMES IN PLAYOFFS ??? just wonderin
KD: Kyrie 'frustrated,' but Nets' window still open
Kevin Durant said Monday that Kyrie Irving is "frustrated" he still can't play at home, but the Nets' championship window extends beyond this season.www.espn.com
6ers have def been looking dysfunctional these days. Maybe they're playing possum, I don't know.
But what I DO know is that the worrying over Harden's recent play has already begun. The exact same thing Nets fans said is the same thing 6er fans/media are saying: that dude no longer looks like MVP Harden and the concerns about signing him long term to a monster deal are real.
Also, Doc is supposedly on the hot seat and Morey will bring in Pringles if the team fails this year. Oh, and Philly fans/media are lamenting the loss of Drummond bc they all agree that Deandre Jordan and Paul Millsap are both finished. So yeah, the honeymoon phase is already over.
On the flip side of that trade, I see a lot of Nets fans across various sites wondering if Ben is "faking" his injury and if the Nets were stupid to take him. Again, speaking from experience, a herniated disc can go either way. Some people have herniations that slip one way and don't affect your nerves. Others do. The minute I saw Ben had an epidural, I knew it would be a while before he'd be doing anything again. I've said this before and it's worth repeating, a bad back is nothing to play with. Literally.
You can barely do JACK **** if you have a herniation that's hitting the nerve and is in the middle of a flare up. So yeah, I completely believe Ben is hurt. First, he was "scared" to play in Philly. Now he's "faking" an injury to avoid playing this year bc he's "weak mentally". Who comes up with these ridiculous takes? Oh, the clickbait media, that's who.
Anyway, to answer your question EZMONEY SERVANT , I think the Nets can make it to the ECF - regardless of Kyrie's status - if Ben returns relatively healthy. KD is a beast but we would need some really good fortune for him to carry this squad anywhere far all by himself. Even if he had Joe, that would've helped. Not sure how the Nets botched his injury so badly.
