YUTA WATANABAE 😍
No Simmons is the reason, not Kyrie
Teams and being better without Kyrie. Name a better duo.
cam thomas basically doing his best kyrie impression
He took over the game for the nets in the fourth
Mason Plumlee is ass tax, so technically they’re 1-1
The fans really needed these two days after a miserable few days earlier in the week.
Without Ben, Kyrie and Nash*
The headcase, locker room cancer and puppet are all gone
Kyrie isn’t the reason we could’ve used him today lmao
The Nets are 2-1 without Steve Nash>>
Cam Thomas is finally unleashed who Nash refused to play.
It’s because Kyrie taking more shots than KD most games was a horrible idea and probably what the “Kyrie runs plays that Nash didn’t want” reports were talking about
Dude doesn’t know how to defer
Imagine having KEVIN DURANT on your team and not passing the ball
Nets were down 12 with like six minutes they subbed him back and just kept scoring to get the lead back
And 3-1 without Benjamin.
major ewing theory incoming
Also 3-1 without Bum Simmons
Yuta <3
They’re going to go 5-0 for his entire suspension, won’t they?
No Ben is probably helping too
kyrie is a. poison on and off the court
We got YUTA for Ben and Cam for Kyrie!
I feel like the offense looks a tad bit more smooth now without Nash.
Feel like it makes a bit more sense and everyone kind of knows their role on the team better.
The guy is literally an albatross nailed to my fucking neck
Also 2-0 without Nash?
Hmm
3-1 without Ben and 2-1 without Nash as well.
I said this guy contributes to winning about as much as Jordan Clarkson and the box score watching nephews got really upset.
They have played the wizards and the hornets, don’t think this is huge news
Lets go r/nba, do your thing, give me chaos!!!!
if the Nets win these five games Joe Tsai is gonna be really hard to get a meeting with all of a sudden lol
It’s amazing that when you remove two ‘all stars’ a team actually gets better.
I know this is a VERY small sample, but it’s not surprising at all.
I said back in 2019, when the Nets signs Kyrie, that I was dumbfounded any team was willing to pay this guy.
People responded that I was an idiot.
I said he couldn’t be counted on to be healthy, and that even when he put up great personal stats, he didn’t elevate his teams.
I’ve seen nothing since to suggest otherwise.
He had one great playoff run in his entire career, and that was playing alongside LeBron.
And people keep hearkening back to that.
This is just more proof, and I’ve no doubt that the Nets, if they abandon Kyrie for the year, will play better without him.
But regardless, it’s clear that it is time to move on and just blow this roster up.
Funny thing is this is a common trend w/ Kyries post Cleveland career
Just send him home for the year. They aren’t going to resign him. He has no trade value. Send a message that the inmates aren’t running the asylum anymore.
Ofc they will be better without Kyrie ,Kyrie never played defense for one just look at that Boston series . He dominated game 1 on offense but just let Celtics players score on other end didnt even cover them . And he isn’t a true PG , a true PG is one who makes his teammates better , creates passes and gets everyone involved he only looks to score pretty much.
Which is why Harden-KD duo is infinitely better then Kyrie – KD could ever be they traded the wrong guy
Celtics were also much better without Kyrie , Kyrie being injured got them to 7 games ECF , Kyrie got back and they were first round exit
They don’t have a maniac in there ear all game that definitely helps plus Ben is out
What is their record the other 120 games he’s missed there.
They are also missing Simmons but that would ruin the headline lol
And KD is smiling.
Honestly, I think Monday’s game will be tough for us because he won’t be hoisting 31 shots like last time in an OT game.
Maybe KD has been feeding Kyrie lines through an earpiece in order to keep him off the court so they can win?
Like a reverse Cyrano de Bergerac.
Guys I think the KD and the rest of the nets just want to hoop. They don’t want Kyrie’s drama
Wizards hornets
Interesting
It seems like you can’t go wrong with KD and a bunch of roleplayers.
Harden was the Problem LOL
